Duration Time of the Accumulator
In the Classic test (3D animation with all settings and brightness on maximum, WLAN on) of the accu-testprogramm BatteryEater the Accu held out in the test for accurately 1 hour and 47 minutes - an average value.
In the reader test (settings on minimum, WLAN out) the laptop had a lack of energy after 3 hours 46 minutes.
The measured current consumption was:
Idle 27 - 31 Watt
Idle + WLAN: 28 - 33 Watt
Full load: 64 - 67 Watt
In a closed room without other acoustic sources a quiet noise can be noticed from inside of the case.
The quiet but continuously running ventilator sounds without load with bearable 37.3 dB. With hard disk accesses the volume rises to 38,2 dB.
We noticed a quiet but unpleasant sound of high frequency, caused by our test model (the volume without load increases to 38dB) when using the Touchpad. However the phenomenon did not arise everytime.
With full load we measured the following volumes:
ventilator level 2: 39,4 dB (immediately switches itself on with increased load)
ventilator level 3: 41,6 dB (after a few minutes load)
ventilator level 4: 43,3 dB (again after approximately 10 minutes later in the test)
2 small loudspeakers are behind the keyboard, which supply a quality quite good regarding their size.
Illuminating of the test equipment is rather below average with scarcely 75%.

Illuminating table of the screen
The gap between case and cover evenly sizes to 2-3 mm (a few laptops had a gap on one side which were nearly twice as large as on the other side...). The display bolting device functions without troubles. During repeated closing and opening no crunching noises can be heared. This also significates a workmanship of high quality. The hinges are symmetrically, in each case on the outer side of the hinge there is a pin as suspension, while inside cables run. The stable hinges do not sway. The display can be bent averagely.
Once again there is a shining, but at the same time also reflecting display. Meanwhile reflecting displays become a standard, although an important disadvantage is obvious. All the same whether sun, fluorescent tube or simply sharply contrasted shade. Everything is reflected in the shining displays.
View from extreme viewing angles: vertically there occur like with most laptops a few color distortions, while the horizontal view presents a very stable image. Regarding the image quality the MSI M645 can be compared with display favorites like the Sony Vaio VGN-FS215M, Sony Vaio PCG K315Z, Sony Vaio VGN A417M and Asus Z9252V.
The image regeneration rate is very good, too.
The illumination of the test equipment is at a low level of 75%.
The following bench mark values show a performance, which can be expected from this performance class (upper middle class). All current games can be played with medium settings. The current consumption is good compared with the performance. Compared with the M635 the power ratings are very similar (except Doom3, where Nvidia grafic cards got an advantage).

The MSI M645 makes a good impression according various aspacts. The workmanship leaves hardly any chance for criticism and the display also is of outstanding quality. The most severe problem is the position of the ventilator opening.
The performance and the duration time of the Accumulator are slightly better in relation to the "sister"-model M635.
The power pack is 13x6x3cm small and weights 550 g. So it is quite easy portable.
The M645 has a status light on the plug, which is attached to the laptop.
Unfortunately here a severe problem rises: the blow-out opening of the ventilation system is in the front range of the right narrow side! As well known the large majority of the users are right-handers and most of them use a mouse. In cold winter at fresh air one may be glad, when the hand is warmed permanently but otherwise...
The ventilator openings are small and rectangular and the air enters the laptop at the bottom. The disadvantage is that when the laptop is positioned on soft surface the air supply can be interrupted. Regrettably meanwhile the majority of the laptops has openings at the bottom.
The temperature of the keyboard surface is comfortable low, which ensures a pleasant working with the keyboard. The bottom of the case heats up more than the upper surface, but compared with other notebooks the temperature is tolerable and does not exclude a usage on the thighs.
Under load the maximum temperature rises to 42°C on the top side over the ventilator exit. The average temperature remains acceptable with 32°C. The lower surface reaches a maximum of 40°C and an average value of 33°C.
Input Devices
The keyboard torches with strong pressing the keys, but the extent of this effect does not really obstruct the usage. The pressing-noise is pleasant and accompanied by quiet clicking noises. The size of the keyboard is average (30 x 11cm) just like the key size and the distance of the keys from each other. That is not natural with all laptops. The keys are stable and do not tremble.
There does not exist a particular numeric block, like usually. The arrow keys and page scroll keys are smaller than the remaining keys. The arrow keys are separated from the remaining keyboard block, which is very comfortable for players, who often need these keys. The separation avoids wrong clicks. The enter key is unfortunately somewhat small and is encicled all around by other keys. Here wrong clicks are probable. The FN-key is at the outside left edge of the keyboard. Some notebooks got there the STR-key. Unfortunately it is not sure, what the standard is.
The keyboard does not imprint on the cover, even if someone presses on the closed cover.
The Touchpad is transferred slightly to the left in front of the keyboard. So it may happen that someone sends touchpad signals inadvertently with the thumb when working or playing with the keyboard. By the way, the finger interface is not rectangular but rhombic and corresponds approximately the quantity to 7x4cm. There are 2 touchpad keys under the finger surface medium size, which can be click at the edge too. There is no scroll button. The two keys do not tremble and the operability of the Touchpads seems normally.
The two-colored case just like the similar MSI M635 has black areas but is dominated by dark grey metallic (e.g. cover). The bright silver metallic parts do not exist.
The magnesium alloy makes the laptop light and durable. E.G. no scratches occured when we tried to scratch on the surface with metal.
Towards the edges the slim case is very rigid and stable, in the center torches massively. However that might not impair the stability altogether.
If the M645 is rised with one hand at the edge or if one tries to bend it with both hands, the laptop does not bend or crunch. A laptop, which does not create any crunches in the material tests was rather rare with the past tests (in the short test column only the cases of the Toshiba Satellite A80 - 142 and Sony Vaio VGN-FS215M are of similar workmanship quality).
The gap dimensions of the case are even and usually under 1mm, which further indicates that the equipment is of good quality. Nevertheless, at the edge of the keyboard, there is, like so often, a deep groove between work surface and keyboard. Here dirt can accumulate and perhaps penetrate inside the equipment.
There are no sharp edges anywhere, not even at the borders of the opening for the accumulator.
Nearly all connections are on the left and right narrow side, but regrettably none on the back, where connections would disturb hardly any user.
There exist 4 USB connections, which is a generous amount. Some laptops only provide 2 USB Slots. Cables, which are attached to the USBs on the right side, can obstruct right-handers using a mouse. USB cables connected at the left side can disturb left-handed people. As long as someone does not need more than 2 connections, he may connect at the other side in each case. Nevertheless shifting the connections to the rear would have been perfect.
There is a Firewire connection on the front narrow side.
All connections are situated very near together, often only with 1 mm distance. so the plugs can obstruct each other. This concerns particularly the USB-connections which are positioned above another.
The ejection mechanism of the PC-cardreaders functions without problems. There exists a ST-MMC-cardreader too. The DVD drive assembly opens and closes whithout jams.
The accumulator with the size 27 x 4,5 x 2 can be attached and removed without jamming and the bolting device functions without problems. The accu is stuck on on the rear narrow side and forms the back of the laptop.
On the front narrow side there is a sliding control with the label "volume" and a button with a note. The button starts the Windows Media Player. However the "Vol" slide control does not change the volume of the Media Players. We failed to discover any function of the sliding control.
The MSI M645 stands on its rubber feet on smooth surface stably without to slip much.
Test Review MSI Megabook 645
The MSI Megabook 645 differs from its "sister" Notebook M635 by different appearance, video card and processor. The two laptops are similar. The MSI Megabook M645 with its 15,4 inch WXGA TFT uses a Pentium M processor with 1.8 GHz as well as a Geforce 6600go video card with 128 MB memory.


text: In the same vein as Rich Carlsson's recent post on understanding how erlang:get_stacktrace() works, I decided that this list would probably be interested in reading this blog post about some of the work we do with Erlang at Heroku: https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/11/7/logplex-down-the-rabbit-hole The reason I post this here is that if you scroll down enough, you'll meet an entire section devoted to understanding (from afar) how Erlang's memory allocators work, and how they could be tuned. It's something I have to thank Lukas Larsson for, given he's the one who helped us understand all of this and solve important memory issues we had. I hope you enjoy the read! Regards, Fred.

In Canada, these two terms offer different educational facilities and courses. Universities primarily focus on academic and professional programs, while colleges offer trade and applied courses.
Whichever option you choose for your future, know that you are in the capable hands of dedicated lecturers who will help you put your best foot forward into the working world.
Canada has some very highly-ranked universities across the country. This includes the University of Toronto which has been ranked 20th in the world, as well as McGill which is ranked in 21st place.
Universities in Canada grant degrees, with most offering under-graduate, post-graduate and master's programs. Although universities do receive funding from the government, each institution governs itself, its course work and its admissions.
Undergraduate programs:
All undergraduate programs need to be completed before a student can proceed to a post-graduate degree. The degree should take between 3 and 4 years to complete as a full-time student, with the possibility of combining programs into double majors.
Professional programs such as dentistry and medicine are incredibly popular at universities in Canada, fuelled by the need for more of these qualified individuals in the industry.
An applied skill or trade job has become essential in the Canadian job market. With full-time diplomas and certificates, as well as Bachelor degrees, colleges are becoming increasingly popular. Colleges offer the opportunity to get real work experience with every practical skill setting you up for the working world. A certificate takes only a year to achieve, while some courses can take between 2 or 3 years.

Growing plants in controlled environments is a scientifically based approach. It is creating a formula and following a protocol to produce exactly what we are aiming for in terms of plant quality and quantity. Combined with the understanding of the plant physiology, the effects of various environmental conditions and their interactions are extremely important to understand in order to succeed as a grower.
Here are 13 climate control tips and lessons learned from my experience working with thousands of different types of plants in fully automated and semi-automated growing environments in a wide range of geographic and climatic conditions throughout the United States.
Greenhouse & Indoor
1. Automation Is Key. Automated control systems can provide efficient technology, increased yields, plant uniformity, reduction in plant losses and simplified disease management by establishing optimal day and night temperatures, humidity levels and more. It is also possible to produce plants with specific biochemical composition, defined root-to-shoot ratio, plant height and vigor, and desired yield in controlled climatic conditions. More effectively, specific environmental conditions (in combination with lighting and chemical manipulation, such as nutrients, irrigation, bio-stimulants, etc.) will benefit plant health and yield.
Greenhouse & Indoor
2. Ensure Air Circulation. Proper air circulation, while controlling temperature and humidity, is essential. Roof ventilation (in a greenhouse setting) is an effective way to reduce internal temperature during sunny days either in winter or summer months, depending on the temperature set points. It is also an effective way to remove warm, moist air and replace it with drier air in the greenhouses. During certain growing periods, it can be challenging to prevent fungal disease in greenhouses, especially in areas with high humidity and moderate temperature—because certain fungal strains multiply rapidly in such environments.
However, when the ambient outside humidity levels are high (70%-80%), it is difficult to reduce humidity inside the greenhouses by using ventilation alone. In this situation, installing dehumidification units and/or air conditioners can be most beneficial. In some state-of-the-art greenhouses, a floor-fan system installation in the growing environment for cooling effects and dehumidification has proven effective.
Greenhouse & Indoor
3. Combine Ventilation With Temperature Adjustments. Manipulating ventilation and temperature in concert with each other is a useful tool for disease reduction both in indoor and greenhouse environments. I have used this approach effectively during high-humidity conditions and during periods of fungal spore and disease outbreak on plant tissues. In a greenhouse, we can achieve this by programming the temperature to increase for one hour at night (85°F-90°F) and the ventilation to open simultaneously when those bacterial spores are proving difficult to eradicate by other means. Depending on your geographical location (and seasonal temperature extremes), you'll want to carefully monitor those temperatures to control potential mold outbreaks and terpene loss.
4. Optimize for Warmer Climates. If you are a cultivator in the Southwest, for example, and trying to cultivate plants in a desert landscape in Arizona or Southern California, optimal conditions will likely be keeping air temperature at 80°F-90°F, and 20%-40% shade in summer. (The addition of highly advanced HVAC systems, however, can help control temperatures, even in extreme conditions.) Supplemental lights may be required in summer when growing photoperiod-sensitive crops (i.e., cannabis). Southwestern plants perform best when humidity levels are 50%-70% for propagating (cloning) plants from unrooted cuttings, or from seeds or growing young finished plants in controlled environments.
Greenhouse & Indoor
5. Optimize for Cooler Climates. Greenhouse climatic conditions are very different when growing plants in, say, the Western New York area versus Northern California. When propagating unrooted cuttings or starting from seeds, the optimal air temperature should be 72°F-75°F, and bottom heat (soil media) temperature should be around 70°F-72°F. Humidity levels are also important to consider, even during cool months. Cloning by vegetative propagation can be successfully done using humidity domes or in controlled growing conditions in growth chambers. However, large-scale cloning requires a high-humidity propagation facility for rooting of cuttings.
6. Know When to Implement Shading. Excessive heat build-up in greenhouses in summer can often be prevented with shading materials or by using shade curtains. Shade curtains are very effective in reducing greenhouse temperatures and blocking sunlight with different shade percentages in summer (particularly in the Southwest and Southern regions). Thermal and shade materials are available for creating shade as well as retaining heat in winter within the greenhouses. We have utilized shade/thermal cover in greenhouses in North Carolina during extremely cold nights and significantly reduced heating costs.
7. Understand the Benefits of an Evaporative Cooling System. A fan-and-pad system using evaporative cooling eliminates excess heat and adds humidity. This is beneficial especially, again, in Southwest regions and other warmer locations. Consider installing 8-by-10-foot-high cool cell pads instead of 6-foot pads, combined with high-powered exhaust fans for proper cooling and humidity control in the growing environment. We redesigned greenhouse structures in North Carolina after identifying the problems experienced while growing corn plants. The new structures had larger cool cell pads, high-velocity exhaust fans at the plant level; and the increased height of greenhouses resulted in high-quality seed production in several types of plants.
Greenhouse & Indoor
8. Consider High-Pressure Fog Systems. Adding high-pressure fog systems in the growing environment for cooling is effective in a propagation setting as well as for growing temperature-sensitive plants.
Fog systems have been used in propagation facilities for ornamental plants for the past several years. Now it is becoming a useful tool for cannabis growers as growing facilities are expanding to warmer locations. With a fog system, fine mist droplets create a very thin water layer on the leaves, thus reducing the transpiration rate and preventing the wilting of unrooted cuttings during cloning and propagation. It is also an efficient means of keeping plants turgid in hot ambient temperatures without adding excess water to root zone system of plants.
Fog systems consist of pressurized water delivered through nozzles about 3 to 5 microns in diameter, creating a uniform mass of fine water droplets in the greenhouse's atmosphere. They provide efficient means of cooling as well as add humidity for plants at different growth stages.
Several companies also have developed effective means of odor control by injecting biodegradable ingredients into high-pressure fog systems during the flowering stages of cannabis plants.
9. Think Sideways. In addition to roof ventilation, side-wall ventilation in greenhouses is another effective method for reducing humidity levels. Side roll-up ventilation can be manually or automatically opened and closed based on temperature set points. Side ventilation can reduce air temperature in greenhouses when the outside temperature is 4°F-5°F higher than the inside temperature; however, it is difficult to reduce greenhouse air temperature to 65°F-70°F using roll-up ventilation when outside temperature is higher than 80°F. Ridge-vent openings in greenhouses in medium-sized structures are used to push warm air out from the greenhouse to control internal temperature.
Do not forget to install insect screens/fine netting in any type of ventilation system as well as exhaust fans to prevent pests from entering the greenhouses. It should be considered as integral part of design for plant-growing structures.
Greenhouse & Indoor
10. Control Plant Height by Using DIF. Day and night temperature differential (DIF) is the difference between day and night temperatures, or day temperature minus night temperature. Production of high-quality starter plugs requires technical expertise in controlling plant growth from seed germination to transplanting. Use a cool day/warm night methodology to control plug height. A two-hour drop in temperature at sunrise, for example, is effective in reducing plant elongation. Plants "stretch" due to stem elongation when plants are exposed to positive DIF, and stem elongation is reduced (compact plants) when plants are exposed to negative DIF. Therefore, plant height can be manipulated through temperature differences during the day and night using automated control systems and programming. Negative DIFs are useful to hold plants at certain heights for a time period before harvest without using any chemicals or growth retardants.
Greenhouse & Indoor
11. Know Your Supplier. When considering controlled environment automated systems, I highly recommend investing in reputable systems available in the industry, as they can be more efficient when integrated with your other systems. All the grow rooms, propagation chambers and greenhouses should be accessible from one central control system to save time and work smoothly.
12. Understand the Importance of Bottom Heat (Where Necessary). Heating systems for air temperature control and for bottom heat, either on benches or in the floor under the concrete, can be important tools for maintaining optimal soil and plant tissue temperatures throughout the year.
Greenhouse & Indoor
13. Biosecurity. Integration of alarm systems in greenhouses and growth chambers is also a great investment to consider. Technology is available to connect environmental control systems with a designated cultivation team to alert them to extreme conditions (high or low temperatures, power failure, mist system malfunction, etc.) and can prevent catastrophic plant losses in controlled environments. This is done two ways: by automated text messages on cell phones, or phone call notifications by the central site service/security personnel.

A sixty-foot-long, deadly snake roaming around California? It sounds incredible, and yet that is precisely the story that came out of Spring Valley, California in the summer of 1868. The story was told in the pages of the Calaveras Chronicle newspaper, whose staff said: "On the 12th of August, 1868, the serpent was first seen in the vicinity of Zane's ranch, near Spring valley. Several persons-reputable people-saw the monster on two or three occasions, but always at a considerable distance-never nearer than a quarter of a mile. The reptile created the most intense excitement in the neighborhood, and at one time the getting up of a party to hunt it down was strongly agitated."
The media continued: ""What were then thought to be the most extravagant stories regarding the size of the serpent were told, but recent events prove that the truth was not exaggerated. The snake was seen in an open field in broad daylight, and described as 'being from forty to sixty feet long, and as large around as a barrel.' The mark of the monster in the dust where it crossed the road bore witness to its immense proportions. There was a difference of opinion regarding its method of locomotion, some maintaining that it progressed by drawing itself into immense folds, after the manner of a caterpillar, while others were equally certain that its motion was similar to others of the ophidian family."
Then, there was this: "The serpent disappeared for several months, and was seen by Mr. W. P. Peek, of this place, while coming up the hill from the Gwin mine. Mr. Peek was driving a two horse team and had got about half way up the steep hill that has to be ascended in leaving the mine, when he heard what he supposed to be the loud 'screeching' noise sometimes made by a wagon brake. Certain that a team was coming down the grade, and being in a favorable place for passing, he turned out of the road.
"After waiting until out of patience, and no team appearing, he drove on. He had gone but a short distance when a movement in the dense chaparral that lined the road, attracted his attention, and, advancing in the direction, he was horrified by the sight of a portion of the body of an immense serpent. At the same time his horse became unmanageable, and while Mr. Peek's utmost endeavors were put forth to prevent the escape of the frightened team, the monarch moved slowly off into the brush, making the hissing sound he had mistaken for the brake of an approaching wagon."
And, finally: "About a year subsequently the serpent was seen by a couple of boys in the vicinity of Mosquito, the youths being so badly frightened that they could scarcely reach home and tell the story. Such is briefly the story of the Calaveras serpent up to Saturday of last week, when the experiences had with it at once settled all doubts as to its reality, and fix the fact beyond question that one of the largest boas of which we have knowledge has its residence in this county."

NRG Energy biomass conversion project acquires permits
NRG Energy Inc.'s proposed biomass conversion of its Montville Generating Station in Uncasville, Conn., has all of the necessary permits and is ready to begin construction as soon as it has a power purchase agreement (PPA).
The project will result in the enhancement of the company's Montville Generating Station unit 5 to burn biomass. The boiler, which was placed into service in the 1950s, originally burned coal, said Spokesman David Gaier. It was later converted to No. 6 oil with gas cofiring. With the new conversion, it will become a 40-megawatt biomass unit, but will retain the ability to produce its full electrical load of 82 megawatts using gas or ultra-low sulfur diesel, according to Gaier.
The project has received its air permit and has been reviewed by the Connecticut Siting Council. The only construction holdup is the need for an energy off-take contract, or PPA. "We could start construction roughly within 90 days of receiving a PPA," Gaier said.
Besides the ability to utilize multiple fuels to increase electrical capacity, the project has other beneficial and unique aspects, Gaier said. One is that it will help meet Connecticut's renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requirements more than other relatively small fuel cell, PV and wind turbine projects. "Supporting 32,000 households is big," he said.
Connecticut has an RPS of 20 percent renewable energy by 2020.
The project will also be a new source of employment. The majority of the woody biomass required at the facility will be sourced from within the state and will create additional jobs in the forestry and trucking/logistics areas, Gaier said, possibly up to 200 jobs.
Gaier said the project is also innovative because it uses a regenerative selective catalytic reduction system, reducing nitrogen oxides, which is more effective on a boiler using biomass as feedstock.
Once a PPA is secured, construction will take about a year.

KNOXVILLE—The design of two homes and the preservation of another in Old North Knoxville by two University of Tennessee professors have drawn the attention of an international architecture and design publication.
The houses are featured in the March edition of Dwell, which hit newsstands February 1. They are the work of Ted Shelton and Tricia Stuth, assistant professor and associate professor, respectively, in the UT College of Architecture and Design.
The husband-wife team took an inexpensive approach to crafting contemporary, sleek interiors with exteriors that complement the character of the early twentieth century neighborhood where they live.
The project began in 2006 when Shelton and Stuth purchased a home in the historic neighborhood two miles outside of downtown. After researching the property, they discovered it had once contained three nearly identical houses. It inspired them to begin a design project to unite the architectural heritage of Knoxville with contemporary design, as well as re-establish the historic street pattern and density of the area.
The two new houses were built in the spirit of the original, 100-year-old structure that the couple initially purchased, preserved, and in which they presently live. The entire project, called "Ghost Houses" because they are reminiscent of houses that once stood in their place, meets Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation.
"The Ghost Houses provide a valuable lesson for us all," said Scott Wall, UT director of architecture. "They resurrect the essential qualities of a sustainable community in three moves: subdivide, conserve, and build simply."
Shelton and Stuth also used inexpensive materials like coated plywood, laminated oak intended for the beds of tractor trailers, white drywall, and polished concrete floors for the interior spaces. Reflecting and glowing with light, the homes' interiors have an open floor plan, where rooms and levels flow together.
The Ghost Houses have won numerous awards throughout the project's development, including the 2010 East Tennessee American Institute of Architects Honor Citation and the 2009 Award of Excellence by AIA Tennessee. Articles on the project also have been published in Forward, a national journal of the American Institute of Architects, and the Journal of Architectural Education.
Shelton and Stuth are co-founders of Knoxville-based architecture firm, curb, http://www.curb.cc. More information about the Ghost Houses and other projects by the faculty team can be found on the firm's website.

The Difference Between The Wisdom Of Kabbalah And Psychology
Question: It is very difficult for people to perceive the difference between the wisdom of Kabbalah and psychology and philosophy. Can you explain the difference?
Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah talks about the structure of the system of creation that is based upon opposites and the connection between two forces: the properties of bestowal and reception, the positive force and the negative force, and the material that exists between them that is managed by the two forces.
This method explains the four phases of the extension of the Ohr Yashar (Direct Light – the characteristic of bestowal) on the property of reception and how both properties interact with each other, producing different variations of integration of all the forces, elements. Kabbalah proceeds from the most simple, true, elementary beginning and explains how everything is extended and developed into our world.
Psychology and philosophy have nothing to do with this. Kabbalah is not a speculative science, it is immensely logical. A person who is involved with it, even if he or she doesn't feel these forces or doesn't reveal the upper world, the knowledge is still very interesting.
Therefore, many come and just study Kabbalah as a theoretical science even though they don't understand what is spoken about. And there are people who want to develop themselves and master the wisdom in a practical way. Everything depends on the goals a person pursues.
We teach both these and those. It doesn't matter to us why a person studies Kabbalah, we teach him or her everything. The first course "The Structure of the Upper World" includes the study of the system of creation. The second course "Practical Attainment of the Upper World" includes a person's work in a group.
In principle, the wisdom of Kabbalah is designed to elevate a person above the egoism that prevents us from uniting, and psychology teaches a person how to get along within egoism. Psychology and philosophy cannot go beyond egoism.

Our plan allowed for early delivery and a seamless transition. With a student body of nearly 600, that's no easy feat. But our education team certainly made it look that way.
St. Andrew's Episcopal School Campus Student Center
ABC of Metro Washington Excellence in Construction Award, Educational
Project Brief
In addition to a strong academic and arts programs, St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, MD has also become known for its excellent athletic program. With existing facilities proving to be out-of-date, the school needed to establish a new facility that would be economical and able to accommodate the growing needs of athletics and physical education. It was also important that the facilities remain operational during construction and that the scale of the new facility fit appropriately within the surrounding residential neighborhood. Partnering with the school, we set in motion a four-phase construction plan combining renovation and new construction for a mixed-use student center featuring two gymnasiums, athletic facilities, and public gathering space.
Smart Phasing
Through a creative approach to construction planning, the team significantly shortened the schedule. To keep the existing gym operational during the demolition of adjacent existing locker rooms, temporary trailers were used as a provisional locker room replacement. This allowed construction to keep moving, shortening the phase, and ultimately shaving seven months from the overall schedule. This also rendered the new facilities fully operational for the 2016-2017 school year.
Throughout the duration of the project, the school remained fully operational, providing uninterrupted educational and recreational activities. Building on an active campus required extensive safety planning with fencing, barriers and directional lines to ensure student safety at all times.
From our project team
Campus Centerpiece
The strategic placement of the new Student Center in relation to the existing buildings creates a new quadrangle for the school, completing the idea of a true campus with a new central space for gathering and community. The combination of new and renovated athletic areas are connected by an airy new common space featuring comfortable seating, a cafe, and gallery space to display student art.

What to Expect: Louisville
Indiana's first test away from Assembly Hall is a significant one as the Hoosiers face No. 4 Louisville on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden in New York in the Jimmy V Classic.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN at approximately 9:30 p.m. ET with Dan Shulman, Dick Vitale and Andy Katz on the call:
Indiana and Louisville, two schools separated by just over 100 miles, will play on Tuesday for the first time since February of 2003 and it took a trip to the "World's Most Famous Arena" and a prime-time slot to bring the two programs together.
Both Tom Crean and Rick Pitino have talked about starting a series for several years, but nothing has ever materialized despite support in both fanbases to see the programs, who have combined for eight national championships, play. But even if an annual series fails to start up in the coming years, Tuesday's game is one that is good for the sport of college basketball and also good for this particular Indiana team. The Hoosiers have yet to be tested away from Bloomington and facing one of the country's elite teams on the grandest stage should give Crean a better grasp of where this team stands with the start of Big Ten play now less than four weeks away.
Intrigue was added to the game earlier this year when former Indiana assistant coach Kenny Johnson, who was a key figure in the recruitments of Robert Johnson, Troy Williams and others, left Bloomington for a hefty pay raise to work for Pitino at Louisville. While Johnson was nothing but complimentary of Indiana in his comments shortly after arriving in Louisville, you can bet the competitor inside of him as well as the competitor inside of both Crean and IU's players have been looking forward to this game.
For the first time this season, Indiana is a decisive underdog going into a game. How will the Hoosiers handle the stage and the pressure defense of Louisville? We'll find out in short order.
The Cardinals come into MSG with a 7-0 record that includes wins over Minnesota (in Puerto Rico) and Ohio State (in Louisville), but no other games against KenPom top 100 teams.
Pitino's teams have typically been built on defense and this group is no different as Louisville ranks No. 2 nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency. Opponents are averaging just .84 points per possession against the Cardinals and Minnesota's .87 points per trip is a season-high against Louisville, which is a scary thought.
So why is the Louisville defense great? A bevy of reasons.
Their guards are ultra aggressive with ball pressure as opponents are turning it over on 27.7 percent of their possessions through seven games. Pitino mixes zone and man-to-man in the halfcourt and uses full court pressure to cause turnovers and ultimately, wear opponents down.
Louisville is fourth nationally in 3-point percentage defense (22.8 percent) and sixth nationally at defending 2s (35.9 percent). Their opponents are also only hitting 56.3 percent of their free throw attempts, which may be some luck, but is probably more due to the fatigue that the pressure defense ultimately imposes as a game wears on.
The shot chart below, via Shot Analytics, shows that there's really no clear hole which to exploit:
Louisville's offensive profile isn't nearly as impressive, but it's still top 30 nationally and ranks in the top 20 nationally in both offensive rebounding percentage and getting to the foul line. The Cardinals are an awful 3-point shooting team (28.6 percent) and free throw shooting team (59 percent), but that hasn't mattered as Louisville has an All-American in Montrezl Harrell who can dominate the inside and a very good penetrating guard in Terry Rozier, who hasn't been great this season but has the talent to take off at any time.
The Cardinals aren't particularly deep, but their starting five is plenty experienced. The aforementioned Harrell is the team leader in scoring (16.1 ppg) and rebounding (9.4 rpg) and if Louisville is a top 10 team all season, has a chance to end up in the national player of the year discussion.
Originally a Virginia Tech recruit, Harrell was a late add for the Cardinals in the spring of 2012 after Seth Greenburg was fired in Blacksburg. Pitino has been a big beneficiary of coaching changes in recent history as Luke Hancock, the most outstanding player of the 2013 Final Four, also came to Louisville from George Mason after Jim Larranaga departed for Miami (FL).
Defensively, Indiana will be hard pressed to find an answer for Harrell, who is 6-foot-8 and 235 pounds, so making it difficult elsewhere is going to be a key.
Louisville's perimeter trio of Rozier, Chris Jones and Wayne Blackshear has struggled offensively with Rozier and Blackshear both sporting effective field goal percentages of 48.6 and Jones at just 37.3 percent. Jones is taking far too many shots (using 26.1 percent of possessions while on the floor) on a team with better offensive options and his 28.3 percent shooting on 2s is baffling for a player with his strength and quickness.
As for Rozier, he's being talked about as a potential first round pick in the next NBA draft, but he's hitting just 25 percent of his 3s and a shade under 65 percent of his free throws. He's most dangerous as a penetrating guard who can finish at the rim and create plays for others (20.4 assist rate).
Blackshear, who came to Louisville as a McDonald's All-American, is a bit of an enigma in that he never really materialized as a major prospect for the next level and has been inconsistent throughout most of his career offensively. He, too, has struggled on 3s (30.2 percent), but is taking care of the ball (9.9 TO%) and is hitting close to 54 percent of his 2s.
Beyond those four, Louisville also plays freshman big men Chinanu Onuaku and Anas Mahmoud. Onuaku has been a monster on the boards with an offensive rebounding percentage of 16.3 and has no doubt been a beneficiary of teams looking to find Harrell every time a shot goes up. Mahmoud is very skinny (7-foot and 200 pounds), but Pitino's success in developing project bigs suggest he could turn into a solid player down the line. Sophomore big Mangok Mathiang has been slowed by an ankle injury and it's unclear as to whether he'll be available tomorrow.
Sophomore Anton Gill and freshman point guard Quentin Snider are the primary backups in the backcourt, but with Jones and Rozier both playing 28 minutes per game, their minutes haven't been plentiful. Gill is coming off a team-best 15 points in Louisville's win over Florida International on Friday.
Indiana, as mentioned earlier, isn't expected to win this game and both Pomeroy and Sagarin have the Cardinals as a double-digit favorite. The Pomeroy projection likes Louisville by 10 with an 84 percent chance of victory and Sagarin's projection is Louisville by 11.
So what must Indiana do to make it a game?
Take care of the ball, make 3s and deliver a season-best performance on the defensive glass. Louisville has yet to allow an opponent to score more than 68 in a game this season and it's unlikely that the Hoosiers, one of the best scoring teams in the country at 88.4 points per game, will get anywhere close to that average without valuing the ball and knocking down 3s.
The Hoosiers have experienced some physicality in early season matchups with SMU and Pittsburgh, but this is a challenge on a different level and one that should pay dividends with non-conference games against Butler and Georgetown looming as well as the start of Big Ten play.

10:20 | 17/09/2016 Events
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc arrived in Hanoi on September 15 afternoon, successfully wrapping up his official visit to China at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang from September 10-15.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc is welcomed at Hong Kong International Airport (Photo: VNA)
That is the first official visit to China by PM Phuc and also the first trip to the country by a senior leader of Vietnam's Party and State after the 12th National Party Congress in January.
In Beijing, the Vietnamese leader met with Chinese Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping and had talks with Premier Li. He also had meetings with Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Zhang Dejiang and Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Yu Zhengsheng.
He also met representatives of many Chinese organisations, families of China's former experts who assisted Vietnam during the resistance wars, local entrepreneurs, along with Vietnamese expatriates in the country.
During the talks and meetings, the Vietnamese and Chinese leaders reached broad common perceptions on intensifying the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, and exchanged viewpoints on international and regional issues of shared concern.
They agreed that the two countries will persistently respect each other and increase strategic dialogue exchanges, political trust and win-win cooperation. They will control and satisfactorily handle existing disagreements and arising problems, while fostering the healthy and stable development of the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, thereby practically benefiting the two peoples and contributing to peace, stability and prosperity in the region.
The two sides agreed to seriously implement the bilateral agreement on basic principles guiding the settlement of sea-related issues, and, together with ASEAN countries, comprehensively and effectively carry out the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), and resolve disputes by peaceful measures on the basis of international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
Vietnam and China pledged to respect diplomatic and legal processes, consult and negotiate to reach agreements, and soon build a Code of Conduct (COC) in the East Sea. They will control sea disputes well, avoid actions that complicate or expand disputes, not conduct militarisation, while keeping peace and stability in the East Sea.
During the visit, the two sides issued a joint communiqué and inked a number of important cooperation documents.
Before setting foot in Beijing, PM Phuc attended the 13th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) and China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (CABIS) in Nanning city of Guangxi province. He and Zhang Gaoli, a member of the standing board of China's Politburo and Vice Premier, chaired the opening ceremony of Vietnam's national pavilion "City of Charm" at the CAEXPO.
He also met with Secretary of the Party Committee of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Peng Qinghua, chaired a roundtable conference with Chinese entrepreneurs, and visited Nanning Yucai School and the Bagui Tianyuan high-tech agriculture zone.
In Hong Kong, the PM met with Chief Executive of Hong Kong Leung Chun Ying and Chief Secretary for Administration of the special administrative region Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet - ngor.
At the meetings, PM Phuc stressed that Vietnam and Hong Kong need to continue to promote existing cooperation mechanisms, step up negotiations on an ASEAN-Hong Kong free trade agreement, and take effective measures to facilitate partnerships in economics, trade, investment and tourism.
He also took part in the Hong Kong-Vietnam business and investment forum and witnessed the signing of cooperation agreements and trade contracts with a total value of nearly 10 billion USD.
He had working sessions with executives of global investment and financial investment consultation funds based in Hong Kong such as State Street, Morgan Stanley, and Capital Group.
PM Phuc's official visit to China and his participation in the CAEXPO and CABIS are important to augmenting the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
The tour's success also demonstrates Vietnam as an active and responsible member of ASEAN in bolstering the development of the ASEAN Community as well as ASEAN-China relations, for the sake of the two peoples as well as the region and the world./.

text: Android Developers: Get to Know KitKat by Nick Kolakowski Apr 2, 2014 2 min read The latest version of the Android OS has gained market-share over the past few months, according to the latest data from Google. Android 4.4 ("KitKat") now runs on 5.3 percent of Android devices, up from 1.4 percent earlier this year. KitKat features tight integration with Google Now, Google's voice-activated digital assistant; thanks to Google's attempt to minimize resource-hungry processes, the operating system can also run on low-end hardware, opening up broad swaths of the mobile-device market to its use. Click here to find Android developer jobs. But KitKat's also a long way from dominating the Android ecosystem. Google suggests that 75.7 percent of Android smartphones run either the "Ice Cream Sandwich" (versions 4.0.3 through 4.0.4) or "Jelly Bean" (versions 4.1x, 4.2x, 4.3) builds; another 17.8 percent of Android devices still feature the aged "Gingerbread" (versions 2.3.3 through 2.3.7). Google draws its data from devices running the Google Play app, which connects directly to the company's apps-and-media hub. In addition to reporting Android versions, the company also offers some insight into the most popular screen-sizes—and despite the hype surrounding "phablets" and plus-sized screens, "normal" screens hold a hefty 79.2 percent of the Android market, in contrast to "large" screens with 7.8 percent and "extra large" with 4.9 percent. Around 89.4 percent of devices support version 2.0 of OpenGL ES, down slightly from earlier this year; meanwhile, version 3.0 gained a few points, to 10.5 percent. OpenGL ES, a subset of the OpenGL CG-rendering API for embedded systems (and mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones), is an important benchmark for app developers. What do these latest stats mean for your average developer? First, normal screens still rule; adjust your visuals accordingly. Second, given KitKat's uptake, it's probably worth updating older Android apps to take advantage of the latest operating system's tools and tricks, which include support for NFC-based transactions (through Host Card Emulation), printing and storage-access frameworks, a full-screen immersive mode, and a transitions framework for animating scenes. (A full list of those capabilities is available on Google's Android Developer website.)

It used to be that Drake only had one persona: He was the sad-sack rapper who let his feelings about failed relationships and career failure flow out of him like water out of a firehose. But since 2013's Nothing Was the Same, he's been forging new identities to slip in and out of at whim. There's Tough Guy Drake, aggressive and confident, heard first on "Worst Behavior." (This phase went in tandem with his newfound dedication to weightlifting and, by proxy, Instagram thirst-trapping.) And since "Hotline Bling" and "Controlla," he's been building up what might be called Margaritaville Drake, a laid back persona that reaches a new level on More Life's standout track, "Passionfruit."
As Drake's dancehall interest has risen rapidly, so has the criticism of his incorporation of it. But "Passionfruit" hits a sweet spot. The song is not quite a dancehall imitation, but rather, it blends his version of the Jamaican genre with undertones of adult contemporary. The song's soft drums—accented with snares that flutter rather than hit—are practically begging to be paired with a sensual, choreographed Dirty Dancing-inspired routine. Early in the song he also samples the voice of Moodymann, a Detroit house figurehead, whose presence helps set the stage for the downbeat rhythm.
Despite that sonic cocktail, what most shines through on "Passionfruit" is Drake's secret weapon—the purity of his voice. Sung by a person with a more wobbly, vibrato-heavy style, the song wouldn't be half as good. Instead, Drake's straight-down-the-middle delivery makes "Passionfruit" easily consumed and endlessly repeatable—intoxicating, like a frozen margarita of a certain Canadian flavor.

The world of digital marketing is always changing, and it can be hard to keep up. However, there are some key strategies that have stood the test of time. One of the many good things about these powerful tools is you can incorporate them into your digital marketing approach right now.
If you are unsure where to start in your digital marketing strategy, this blog will help guide you on the top three digital marketing devices that you can implement today.
Content marketing is a digital marketing strategy focused on creating valuable, useful content to get found by search engines. Google prioritizes subject matter that is helpful to users, and with an effective content marketing strategy, you can ensure your website will fit that criteria.
Content marketing encompasses more than just written copy. It includes:
A big bonus to content marketing is that it is a strategy you can start on right now with relative ease and minimal cost. Content marketing costs 62% less than traditional marketing and generates approximately 3 times as many leads. Whether it be rewriting your current website copy to be more helpful or starting a blog to help with SEO, content marketing will help you get found by users and generate more leads.
Content marketing is a core principle of digital marketing. It not only fits the present standards, but it will be important for many, many years to come. People will always be using search engines to answer their questions, and they are more likely to engage with relevant content. Content marketing is a instrument that you should definitely start using today if you are not doing so already.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the most important steps to getting found by search engines. Without proper SEO digital marketing strategies, your website will not be visible by potential customers. SEO may seem intimidating at first, but there are some quick and easy tools you can use now to take advantage of it.
One of the top ways to getting found by search engines is investing in keyword research. Keywords are words or phrases in your content that allow people to find your site by matching them with their search queries. There are many tools to do keyword research, such as Google Search Console, Google Keyword Planner, Google Trends, and UberSuggest. Once you find the SEO keywords relevant to your business, it is time to incorporate them into your content.
An SEO strategy that can build traffic to your website surrounds links. First, it is good to incorporate backlinks. Backlinks are essentially links that send a user to another page on your website. For instance, if you write a blog post, you can refer to older blog posts with backlinks. It is also SEO savvy to link to other credible sources in your blogs. It may seem counterintuitive to send users off your page, but it opens the door to link building with other websites. Always remember to make the anchor text in your link a keyword.
User experience is all about how a user can navigate your site. If your website has navigational issues or a slow loading speed, you will likely experience a higher bounce rate. To retain your users and create leads, you want to give them an experience they will enjoy.
Page optimization is a way to enhance your website and rank higher in search results. Google prioritizes websites with quicker loading speeds, as 1 in 4 users will abandon a website if it takes more than four seconds to load.
With even a 1-second delay reducing page views by 11%, it is absolutely crucial to optimize your website wherever possible. A quick and easy way to make your site run faster and smoother is by choosing high-quality images then compressing them using a tool like Squoosh.
A great way to fix navigational issues is through investing in a heatmap tool. A heatmap is a representation of what users are doing on your website. You'll be able to visually see which pages are most visited by the heatmap software tracking mouse clicks.
Lastly, UI/UX design reflects how a user sees you, and ultimately, if a potential customer likes what you offer, you will generate sales. If you have an outdated website, user perception may associate it with outdated business practices. If a competitor has a more user friendly or better designed website than you, you may be left behind. Investing in a digital refresh can give you a competitive advantage.

Originally part of the Kalinga Empire, Midnapore is a place famous for having produced some formidable freedom fighters during the British Raj in India. Today, this town located on the banks of the river Kangsabati is a bustling tourist destination because of its proximity to the state capital Kolkata.
The Mystery Of The Name
An interesting thing to note about the name of the town is that Hindus and Muslims claim their own versions of the story. The Hindus believe it was named after the local deity Medinimata while the Muslims believe it was named after their place of pilgrimage, Medina owing to the large number of mosques and a considerably large Muslim population back in the day.
Tourist Places In And Around Midnapore
Midnapore tourism has much to owe to its historical attractions like the Chapleshwar Temple of Shiva, the Jagannath Temple and a whole lot of mosques and dargahs. Followers of goddess Kali frequent the Battala Temple. Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja and Kali Puja are the times to visit Midnapore, as is the case for many other West Bengal towns. This is when the town gets painted with many different hues with pandals and shamyanas erected for worship and festivities.
Education In Midnapore
Apart from the tourist attractions, Midnapore is home to some important schools and universities, which are attended even by students from the bigger cities in the state. The locals enjoy their morning and evening walks which is why many parks have been built and maintained well in the township.
How To Reach Midnapore
Midnapore is well-connected to other main destinations by air, road and rail.

Fact file: Tracking the slide in school children's understanding of civics and citizenshipBy Sushi Das
A new report has found that about two-thirds of Year 10 students do not have the basic knowledge required to become informed and active citizens in Australia's democracy, a result that Education Minister Simon Birmingham has described as "woeful".
Civics and citizenship education is a component of the Australian curriculum that measures students' understanding and knowledge of Australia's system of government, historical and current governance practices, diversity and multiculturalism, and awareness of Australian identity and culture.
RMIT ABC Fact Check provides a quick summary the nature of the assessment, and the main findings.
What is the civics and citizenship assessment?
The 2016 National Assessment Program for Civics and Citizenship, which comprises a test and a survey, has been conducted every three years since 2004.
The latest assessment was undertaken in October and November 2016 by 10,400 students drawn from a sample group of Year 6 and Year 10 students from schools across Australia.
The test section of the assessment focuses on students' knowledge and understanding of civics and citizenship.
The survey section collects data on their attitudes and values, and the extent to which they participate in civic and citizenship activities.
How is it marked?
The test ranks six levels of achievement (below 1 to 5).
Two standards for proficiency, one each for Year 6 and Year 10, are used as key performance measures, with the "proficient" standard representing a "challenging but reasonable" expectation of student achievement.
The assessment is managed by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA).
What the 2016 civics and citizenship assessment found
1. Sixty-two per cent of Year 10 students failed to reach the proficient standard for that year level — the largest percentage since the civics and citizenship assessment was introduced in 2004.
This result is a decline of six percentage points from the previous round of testing in 2013, a steep downturn in Year 10 performance.
By way of comparison, 56 per cent of students failed to reach the proficient standard in 2013, and 51 per cent failed to reach it in 2010.
The situation was worse before that. Fifty-eight per cent failed to reach the proficient standard in 2007 and 61 per cent failed in 2004.
So, apart from a slight improvement in 2010 and 2013, the latest results are in line with those of 2004 and 2007.
The latest results were described by Mr Birmingham as "woeful" and "of serious concern".Nationally, the percentage of year 10 students who did not meet the proficient standard has increased since 2010
2. Year 6 students fared better, with 45 per cent of students failing to reach the proficient standard for that year level.
This is similar to the standard attained in four previous assessment cycles: 48 per cent (2010 and 2013), 47 per cent (2007) and 50 per cent (2004).Nationally, the percentage of year 6 students who did not meet the proficient standard has decreased slightly since 2010
3. The NT was the worst performing jurisdiction with 66 per cent of Year 6 students and 77 per cent of Year 10 students failing to reach the proficient standard.
4. The ACT was the best performing jurisdiction, with 59 per cent of Year 6 students and 46 per cent of Year 10 students achieving at or above the proficient standard.
5. Nationally, girls in both year levels performed significantly better than boys.
In Year 6, six out of 10 girls reached the proficient standard, versus five in 10 boys.
For Year 10 students, the percentages were 42 and 35 respectively. This represents a significant decline in the performance of both boys and girls compared to the previous two assessment cycles in 2010 and 2013.Girls do better than boys across both year levels
6. Among Year 10 students, those born in Australia outperformed those born overseas. The difference, although considered "significant", was small. There was no significant difference in performance between Year 6 students born in Australia and those born overseas.
7. Among both year levels, students strongly endorsed the idea that Australia benefitted greatly from having people from many cultures and backgrounds (84 per cent), and that immigrants should be encouraged to keep their cultural traditions and languages (84 per cent).
8. Approximately 40 per cent of Year 10 students endorsed the notion that Australia would become less peaceful as more people from different backgrounds came to live here and that having people from many different cultures and backgrounds made it difficult for a country to be united.
9. The police and the law courts were civic institutions most trusted by students in both Year 6 and Year 10. The least trusted were social media companies such as Facebook and Instagram, and media more broadly, including TV, radio and newspapers.
10. Approximately half of all students viewed discussing politics as an important citizenship activity.
11. Voting in elections and making a personal effort to protect natural resources, such as water, were rated as the most important "citizenship behaviours". Discussing politics was viewed as least important.
12. Across both year levels, about nine out of 10 students supported the idea that Australia should support the cultural traditions and languages of Indigenous Australians.
- Test your civics and citizenship knowledge with these Year 6 test questions and these Year 10 test questions.
- Check out the survey questions posed to Year 6 and Year 10 students in Appendix 2 of the 2016 civics and citizenship assessment.

Godzilla 2014 1 Year Anniversary May 16th! - Design a Poster and Win Cool Prizes!Pinned Topic10,182 Views44 RepliesAdd A Reply
We're nearing the end of April and about to start May. Hard to believe it's almost been a full year since Godzilla (2014) hit theaters. Seems like it was just yesterday we were speculating on set photos from Vancouver, now the film's been released, a sequel is scheduled for 2018, Toho already have a new Godzilla film of their own in the pipeline for next year and we've got a new Godzilla game for those who own a PS4. Godzilla is definitely making a comeback and unlike the 1998 attempt, Hollywood has finally given the King of the Monsters the respect he deserves.
May 16th, 2015 marks exactly 1 year since Godzilla made his comeback on the West Coast and I think it would be great to do something special to commemorate the date!
Thanks to NECA, Warner Bros. and Legendary, I've still got some Godzilla posters and various figures still in their packaging, ready to be given away. I was thinking of giving away some of them to a select few of you, who design the best poster / wallpaper to mark G2014's 1st anniversary.
What I'm looking for:
- Original piece - not a collage of pre-exisitng images
- Poster or Wallpaper format
- Must include Godzilla
- Must signify Godzilla's new era
- Must include Godzilla-Movies.com as part of the celebratory tagline (Ie. Celebrating the new era of Godzilla films at Godzilla-Movies.com, or something like that)
Those are the only guidelines required! Submit your entries to THIS thread.
How to submit your work:
1) Create a digital copy of your work, upload it to an image hosting site like Imgur.com
2) Copy & Paste the image from the site its hosted on, into a new reply to this thread!
1) Must be a member of the Godzilla-Movies forum (ie. have a Scified account)
2) Must only submit artwork created by yourself
3) Must follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook!
That's it! Once we get enough submissions, around the 14th/15th, I will announce winners and all submissions will be featured in a front-page article, celebrating the anniversary.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them below as well or PM me directly. I'll answer questions as soon as possible.
Best of luck to those who enter!
I know this may be a dumb question, but would hand-drawn pieces count?
Be yourself, for everyone else is taken.
This is funny that you posted this Chris. I'm about done with a request from GorillaGodzilla for a fan poster for Godzilla 2018. It has Godzilla and king ghidorah locked in battle and I look to tweet it on Twitter tomorrow.
It's full traditional work. I don't agree with this digital sh##. It's not fair in my point of view because computers can enhance that style of artwork. So, my question is like the person above me, how do us traditional people stand a chance against this? How will regular drawings out do computer enhancements?

Oh, by "digitally" I mean upload them / scan them so you have a digital COPY to share for the contest. You can absolutely draw, sketch, paint, etc... there are no limits to what creative means you choose to use. As long as you scan it, upload it and paste it here, it doesn't matter!
I'm in! :) What a great idea!
"Daddy's home- cake every night,"
This sounds really cool.
I can't wait to see what the contestants have up their sleaves. Also can't wait for the upcoming artwork Ben.
Good grief.
3) Must follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook!
Do i really have to create a Twitter account, if i already liked you on Facebook? How about an OR instead of AND? It feels so unnecessary and forced.
Well, here is the request by GorillaGodzilla and my submission for this contest. I'd never liked to have finished the damn thing, it took me several attempts before I finally got it to where I was proud of it. Hope you all enjoy!

It's been awhile but here's something I've been working on (and yes I know it's absolute crap). Here
Here is my submission:
Hope i did good!
Hello, I must be a newbie here. Let me introduce myself. I am TheOxygenDestroyer'54, and I have known this website long before I joined it, it I have got my Godzilla news from here. Here is my contest entry, with my "speculated" designs of Rodan 2018, Mothra 2018, King Ghidorah 2018, and Godzilla 2016. I hope you guys like it :).

When you design a product that has multi dimensions, it's not always as easy as stamping it out or CNC cutting it. As is the case with My Bottle Boss, we needed a strong material that could support a high torsional force and grip multiple bottle cap material types. A simple process wasn't going to work.
Casting stainless steel pieces was the process that we settled on to give us our unique design and meet our strength requirements. It's a very old technique with some very modern advancements.
To begin the process you need to create a wax mold, this initially might be a 3D printed wax model to test your design. To run larger batches you'll require a wax injection tool to rapidly produce enough units to build a ceramic tree for pouring molten metal into.
Next the wax tree is coated in a ceramic dip to create a shell to pour your molten metal in. This process is mostly completed by robots in the modern world, as it can be a tedious time consuming process.
Once the ceramic shell is complete, the tree of parts is put in the oven to melt the wax out. What remains is a hollow ceramic shell that is heated and ready for the pour!
Hot molten 316 stainless steel is then poured into our ceramic tree creating multiple Bottle Bosses. Next the shell cools and breaks off the tree. Now the parts are separated off the tree with a grinder and then sandblasted to remove remaining ceramic debris.
Now its time for us to powder coat our designs to provide color, smoothness and an additional protective layer. Some models are polished to a matted industrial finish.
Customization and designs are accomplished with our laser engraver. We have a few standard designs, but can add custom logos and engravings.
Lastly, we ship to you where our Bottle Boss is now your (My) Bottle Boss.

Voted a WAMPAS Baby Star by the Hollywood publicists in 1923, Helen Lynch specialized in playing "other women," floozies, and gangsters' molls in scores of low-budget silent melodramas of the 1920s. A former beauty contest winner, she had begun her screen career in 1917 supporting Vitagraph comic Jimmy Aubrey before graduating to feature films in the very early '20s. Most of them were gangster melodramas like Fools First (1922) with Richard Dix, or Westerns such as Arizona Sweepstakes (1925) with Hoot Gibson, and more often than not she played a villainess. She was quite good as a hardboiled dame in Josef Von Sternberg's Underworld (1927) and downright vituperative as Clara Bow's nemesis in Ladies of the Mob (1927). Lynch was at one time married to Carroll Nye, a supporting actor noted for playing Scarlet O'Hara's second husband in Gone With the Wind (1939).

Celebrating the 100th Issue of the TIM Review
Carleton University's Technology Innovation Management (TIM) program celebrated in grand style on Jan. 27, 2016 both the 100th issue of the Technology Innovation Management Review (timreview.ca) and the launch of the seventh e-book of the Best of TIM Review book series.
TIM Review Editor-in-Chief Chris McPhee, former Nortel executive Peter Carbone and Sean Silcoff, a Carleton graduate and award-winning business writer, shared valuable lessons about success and failure in technology businesses with a standing room-only crowd.
"Today, the TIM Review is a global asset that is a source of differentiation for Canada's capital region because it benefits technology entrepreneurs worldwide," said Tony Bailetti, director of the TIM Program. "Lots for Carleton and Ottawa to be proud about."
"The 100 issues of the TIM Review represent a vast number of contributions from authors, guest editors, reviewers, readers and many others – that's really what we are celebrating and who we are thanking tonight," said McPhee, a TIM alumnus.
The TIM Review is a monthly peer-reviewed, open access journal published by Carleton's TIM program since July 2007. More than 600 authors have published 500 articles in the first 100 issues of the journal. More than 27,000 unique visitors a month visit the website, which has had more than one million page views. The readership breakdown is 33 per cent Americas, 30 per cent Europe, 25 per cent Asia, seven per cent Oceania, and five per cent Africa. Ninety five percent of the authors are from North America and Europe.
Referring to the seventh e-book Most Popular Articles: Best of TIM Review,McPhee said: "Our latest book features our 15 most popular articles, so they were selected by our large audience of international readers. It's a point of pride that the book is predominantly made up of articles from the entrepreneurial ecosystem centred around Carleton University. The world is paying attention to the insights coming out of Ottawa."
Carbone has been a key contributor from the beginning and has played a major role in the review's success. He examined the evolution of content, finding it built on knowledge about hardware and software and first focused on open source, then on business ecosystems, then on the need and methods for startups to go global upon inception and finally to the sharing economy.
Carbone highlighted the importance of trust and relationships, as well as the adhering to a longer-term strategy to navigate disruptive forces in the market.
"Strategy without execution is a dream, execution without strategy is a nightmare"
"The TIM Review has tapped the knowledge and experience of a community that is now global and has curated an impressive collection of information for entrepreneurs," said Carbone. "The experience shared by the TIM community on how to deal with the increasing pace and sophistication of the disruptions in the market today make the TIM Review an invaluable source of knowledge for companies."
Silcoff is the co-author of Losing the Signal; the Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry. Silcoff spoke about Blackberry under the leadership of former CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis. The book, co-written with veteran Canadian business journalist Jacquie McNish, grew from a major feature investigation published in September 2013 in the Globe and Mail about the downfall of the Canadian company.
"The rise and fall of Research in Motion/BlackBerry is the mother of disruption stories at a time when the world is being radically reshaped by disruptive technology companies and software is eating the world,'' said Silcoff.
"Much more than a story about a Canadian tech company that didn't make it, our book explores the story of a company that disrupted giants until it was itself disrupted by the smartest and savviest companies in Silicon Valley. It underscores a long-standing reality in the dynamic and Darwinian tech landscape: the race for innovation has no finish line, and winners and losers can change places, seemingly in an instant.''

Got a scoop request? An anonymous tip you're dying to share? Send any/all of the above to firstname.lastname@example.com
Question: What can you tease about the big changes coming to Bones this upcoming season? —Amelia
Ausiello: Get ready for a mini-Booth in Season 10! Nope, Christine isn't getting a little brother; Booth is getting a protégé. His name is James Aubrey and he's an FBI newbie who works as a junior agent under Booth. The casting notice describes the twentysomething hottie as "charming, charismatic, politically ambitious," a guy who "views everything as a stepping stone to something better — head of the FBI or even President of the United States." Booth is weary of his padawan's ambition and is on a mission to get him to simmah down now. Casting for the recurring role is in its early stages, so hit the comments with your suggestions!
RELATED Fall TV Preview: Photos and Video of 50+ New Shows
Question: Is Season 5 going to be Haven's last? —Geoffrey
Ausiello: "It very well could be," Eric Balfour ventured when we saw him at the Saturn Awards. "Nobody at the network's said that, but we are viewing it that way." To the point that at least one of the producers "promised that he's shooting two endings," one of which will afford proper closure. As Balfour explains, "The writers are of the opinion that you don't get the opportunity to see the finish line very often on a television series, so knowing that we have the ability to sort of plan for that – and we have [the length of] two seasons to do it, it's not like it's tomorrow — I actually am of the opinion that I hope we do it, because I would love to give the fans a real ending and honor the show that way."
Question: Do you have any scoop for Supernatural season 10? —Shelby
Ausiello: Sure do. The Season 10 premiere, tentatively titled "Soul Survivor," will introduce the new recurring role of Rowena, a tough but elegant woman who will stop at nothing to reclaim her power base. Here's the interesting part: Actresses who have or can perfect a Scottish accent are preferred. Hmm…
Question: Any juicy scoop about Season 4 of The Killing? —Katrina
Ausiello: Bullet (played by Bex Taylor-Klaus) may be gone, but she will not be forgotten when the six-episode final season drops on Netflix on Aug. 1. According to series creator Veena Sud, the teen's Season 3 death will continue to haunt Holder. "That was a game-changer in terms of Holder's life," she explains. "Up until that point, he was a homicide detective who had not lost anything in the course of his work. So now he's kind of walking through that crucible that Linden has walked through, that many homicide detectives have walked through." Sud promises that there will be "a final moment" that will honor the Bullet-Holder relationship. In other Killing news, did you read/see this?!
Question: Alexander Skarsgard's True Blood credits on IMDb only list Episode 2 of Season 7. Please tell me that this is a mistake and there will be more of Eric than that. —Linda
Ausiello: It's a mistake and there will be more of Eric than that. A lot more of Eric. And if you're a fan of Eric-Pam, then you're going to love the July 20 episode. I've got two words for you, one of them is "trip" and the other is "road."
PHOTOS Relive Jason and Eric's Steamy True Blood Sex Scene (Warning: NSFW)
Question: Where has Anna Camp been on True Blood this season? I need my Sarah Newlin fix! —Jason
Ausiello: My favorite vampire exterminator is back in this week's episode. And as we told you back in February, the show will be introducing us to Sarah's Texas socialite parents and angry, bitter, gothed-out sister at some point this season (perhaps as early as Sunday).
Question: Any news on what the final season of White Collar will bring? —Michael
Ausiello: Mozzie's (invisible) better half. In the final season's fourth episode, we will not only learn that the con man has a wife, but we'll meet her! Her name's Eva, and she and the hubs haven't laid eyes on each other in five years. Should be an interesting reunion.
Question: I'm so excited Rookie Blue is back. Do you have anything to share about my favorite couple, Sam and Andy? —Gina
Ausiello: Episode 6 is going to be a big one for Sam. "You're really going to get to know him in a way that I don't think we've seen before," exec producer Tassie Cameron previews. "He's always been a bit of a man of mystery — he shuts down as opposed to opening up in times of trouble and duress. So we're trying to show that this is a guy who's grown, this is a guy who knows what he wants, this is a guy who is trying to be more open with everyone around him, and we're writing him that way this season."
Question: I've loved Shelley Hennig since her days on The Secret Circle (RIP) and am so excited to see her on Teen Wolf in a major role! I've been waiting since spring for any kind of scoop on Malia and what she'll be up to! Can you share anything?! —Sarah
Ausiello: You're in luck, Sarah, because next week's Teen Wolf is a biggie for Malia. In addition to a budding friendship with Lydia, fans can expect a full-on Malia meltdown, as well as a highly anticipated hook-up that may or may not have been teased in the original Season 4 trailer. Get that pause button ready.
Question: You rarely, if ever, talk about The Goldbergs in Ask Ausiello. (Although I loved your John Hughes tribute scoop last week – thanks for that). Got anything else on Season 2? —Ted
Ausiello: The royal wedding of Charles and Diana will inspire Beverly to renew her vows to Murray. Also, in addition to the Hughes-inspired ep, look for homages to seminal '80s flicks War Games and Footloose.
Question: Do you have any scoop on the big revelation in the 100th episode of Pretty Little Liars? —Jon
Ausiello: No! However, Jon, I do have some scoop on a big confrontation between Alison and — wait for it — Caleb! "He doesn't get too involved in the Alison drama at first," Tyler Blackburn tells TVLine of Caleb's plans upon returning to Rosewood next week. "But then he speaks up, and he's just like, 'This girl is a liar.'" Caleb vs. Alison? I'm honestly not sure who to root for.
RELATED Pretty Little Liars: 30 Pics From the 100th Episode
Question: I just binge-watched the whole Witches of East End first season and loved it. Any spoilers for Season 2? —Alicia
Ausiello: How's this for a spoiler, Alicia: By the end of the July 6 season premiere, you'll know what came out of the Asgard portal — and I'm not just talking about Frederick.
Question: Any update on whether or not Gillian Anderson will be a series regular on Season 3 of Hannibal? —Gwen
Ausiello: Executive producer Bryan Fuller previously told us he'd "love, love, love" for that to happen — and it turns out he's not alone. "Oh God. Absolutely!" series star Hugh Dancy responded when asked if he'd welcome more interaction between his addled FBI profiler Will Graham and Anderson's mysterious psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier. "First of all, 'What are you doing on that plane, Bedelia? Great choice!'" the actor says with a chuckle about Season 2's closing scene — in which Anderson's character fled the country (first-class style) with Mads Mikkelsen's titular cannibal. "As far as anybody could tell, [Bedelia] had vanished off the face of the planet. So, it would be interesting to understand" how she came to be Hannibal's traveling companion and "what their history is." As Dancy notes, "Hannibal has this M.O. of taking people and guiding them toward their worse, or as he might see it, better selves. And by and large, they go off and do terrible things and they die. But both with Will and now, Bedelia, [Hannibal] has done that, but also taken much more interest in them." Dancy adds he'd like to see — given their parallel relationships with Dr. Lecter — whether or not Will can use Bedelia for leverage. In other words, cross your fingers and toes that Anderson's name appears in the opening credits come fall.
Question: Got anything on Elementary? —Chris
Ausiello: The Oct. 30 season premiere, titled "Enough Nemesis To Go Around," will find Watson playing cat-and-mouse with a cunning (and female) drug kingpin. The character, Allison, inherited control of a narcotics cartel from her dead hubby and is really relishing staying one tiny step ahead of JW. (Something tells me the tables are about to turn.)
Question: When will we know if Orphan Black has been renewed for a third season? —R. Downey
Ausiello: I hear a pick-up is imminent. Here's a little tidbit to tide you over: Helena may have torched the Proletheans' farm, but, remember, Henrik's wife was not home at the time. "Bonnie is still at large, that is true," confirms cocreator Graeme Manson. "And we do like Kristin Booth, who plays Bonnie." In other words, don't be surprised if the Prolethean threat resurfaces. "They're much reduced," notes the EP, "but an angry Prolethean is a scary thing,"
That's a wrap! Please send questions, comments, and anonymous tips to email@example.com. (Additional reporting by Andy Swift, Michael Slezak, Vlada Gelman and Scott Huver)
