The Medicare physician fee schedule (PFS) is in for big changes as CMS begins implementing the 2015 legislation that ended a decade of provider payment uncertainty. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) (P.L. 114-10) ended the failed sustainable growth rate (SGR) and combined multiple value and quality programs into a single framework (see Ding dong, the SGR is dead!, April 15, 2015). In an advance release of a Proposed rule, CMS announced its plan to create the unified Quality Payment Program, which will give providers two payment paths: the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs). MIPS replaces three existing programs, consolidating components of the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), Physician Value-based Payment Modifier (VM), and Meaningful Use. The Proposed rule will publish in the Federal Register on May 9, 2016, and comments will be accepted through June 26, 2016.
The Proposed rule is the next step in CMS' incremental plan toward developing standardized quality measures. MACRA, building on quality improvement measures from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) (P.L. 111-148), seeks to streamline and strengthen quality-based payments to physicians. The Proposed rule would give providers fewer measures to report on, remove redundant reporting requirements, and allow for more flexibility in delivering quality care to Medicare beneficiaries than previous physician fee schedule regulations (see, e.g., CMS updates physician payment and quality reporting for 2016, November 18, 2015). HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell admitted that the agency has "more work to do," but called the Proposed rule "just the first step in a complicated process" (see CMS is developing quality one measure at a time, December 22, 2015).
Merit-based Incentive Payment System. MIPS, which was created by MACRA, ties Medicare payment rates to the provision of high-value care, measured through four performance categories. Information can be submitted individually, or through a group, and will use a unified approach across all performance categories. The four performance categories are given different weights toward a MIPS composite performance score (CPS). Each participant's CPS would be compared against a MIPS performance threshold, which would be used to determine the participant's payment adjustment (upward, none, or downward). For exceptional performance, an additional positive adjustment factor would be available.
MIPS performance categories. The four performance categories to calculate the MIPS CPS are:
- Quality. CMS proposes including a minimum of six quality measures, including at least one cross-cutting measure and an outcome measurement if available. Quality would account for 50 percent of the CPS in year one.
- Advancing care information. CMS would assess this performance category based on advancing care information measures and objectives, which participants could customize to reflect the use of technology, focusing on interoperability and information exchange. It would account for 25 percent of the CPS in year one.
- Clinical practice improvement activities (CPIA). CMS would not require a minimum number of CPIAs, but would encourage participants by rewarding clinical practice improvements, particularly those that improve care coordination, beneficiary engagement, and patient safety. CPIAs would account for 15 percent of the CPS in year one.
- Cost. Cost, or resource use, would be based on Medicare claims, and require no additional reporting from participants. It would account for 10 percent of the CPS in year one.
MIPS participants. Participants in the MIPS program will be known as "MIPS eligible clinicians"—replacing the previous term "eligible professionals" or EPs—and include physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and groups including such clinicians. Specific Medicare-enrolled practitioners will be excluded from MIPS.
MIPS performance period. Under the Proposed rule, MIPS would use the calendar year (CY) for its performance period. CMS plans on CY2017 as the first performance period, which would be used to calculate the 2019 payment adjustment. This timeframe would provide enough time to allow submission and analysis of data and claims and to base adjustments on a full year of measurement.
Additional MIPS proposals. CMS proposes using a targeted review process, allowing individual providers to request a review of the MIPS adjustment factor calculation. Certain third parties would be able to act on behalf of MIPS eligible clinicians to submit performance data on quality, advancing care information, and CPIA (not for the cost performance category, however). CMS also proposes using the Physician Compare website to publicly report MIPS information, in an easily understandable format.
Advanced Alternative Payment Models. CMS hopes to increase participation in APMs that focus on better care, smarter spending, and healthier people. Participants in the Advanced APM program, known as qualifying APM participants (QPs), would receive a lump sum incentive payment instead of a MIPS adjustment. The incentive payment, beginning in 2019, would be equal to 5 percent of the prior year's estimated aggregate expenditures under the fee schedule. In 2026, the fee schedule growth rate would be higher for QPs than for other practitioners. The Proposed rule would create two types of Advanced APMs: Advanced APMs and Other Payer Advanced APMs.
Advanced APM requirements. To be an Advanced APM, the Proposed rule would require an APM to:
- require participants to use certified electronic health record (EHR) technology;
- provide payment for covered professional services based on quality measures comparable to those used in the quality performance category of MIPS; and
- be either (a) a Medical Home Model expanded under sec. 1115A of the Social Security Act, or (b) bear more than a nominal amount of risk for monetary losses.
Other Payer Advanced APM requirements. Other Payer Advanced APMs would have similar requirements to Advanced APMs. The Proposed rule would require commercial or Medicaid APMs to:
- require participants to use certified electronic health record (EHR) technology;
- provide payment for covered professional services based on quality measures comparable to those used in the quality performance category of MIPS; and
- be either (a) a Medicaid Medical Home Model that is comparable to a Medical Home Model expanded under sec. 1115A of the Social Security Act, or (b) bear more than a nominal amount of risk for monetary losses.
Qualifying models. Under the Proposed rule, participants in the following models would qualify as Advanced APMs:
- Comprehensive ESRD Care Model (Large Dialysis Organization arrangement)
- Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) (see CMS announces largest ever primary care initiative, April 11, 2016)
- Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Tracks 2 and 3
- Next Generation ACOs (see Next generation ACOs one step closer to value-based care, March 18, 2015 and Consumer advocates encourage increased beneficiary engagement in Next Generation initiative, May 21, 2015)
- Oncology Care Model Two-Sided Risk Arrangement (available in 2018)
The list would be updated annually to add new qualifying payment models.
Physician-focused payment model Technical Advisory Committee. MACRA encourages expansion of the APM options available to physicians, especially specialists, through physician-focused payment models (PFPMs). It required the establishment of the PFPM Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), which will assess PFPM proposals and work on the process to consider PFPMs for testing and implementation. The Proposed rule includes criteria for PTAC to use in making its comments and recommendations to the HHS Secretary.

The Anand Karaj is followed by a wedding lunch for all guests.
Doli – Bride Leaving Home
Doli refers to the bride leaving her parental home after her wedding. The bride is usually accompanied by a younger brother. The bride goes inside the house immediately, while the groom participates in a series of fun rituals in order to be allowed entry into the home. The sisters and female cousins of the bride will only allow entry if the groom pays them a negotiated monetary sum. There is usually lots of bartering and joking involved and after a few minutes, the groom will pay the girls a negotiated amount and be allowed to enter the home. The girls may choose to put a ribbon at the door for the groom to cut after he is allowed entry.
The guests are served chai and sweets.
The bride and groom are seated together, surrounded by their family and friends.
The bride's parents give money and their blessings (sagan) to the bride and groom.
Other guests who wish to bestow money upon the couple will do so at this time.
As the women are singing Vidaai songs, the bride is ushered to the front door by her parents and family.
Before stepping outside of the house she throws three, five or seven handfuls of rice (depending on the family's preference) behind her. This symbolizes repaying her parents for all they have done for her.
The family walks her to the waiting car and she will depart for her in-laws home, accompanied by her younger brother.
As the car leaves, the brothers and male cousins give the car a push to help their sister start her new life.
The father of the groom throws coins as the couple departs showing his happiness at the conclusion of this ceremony. Traditionally, this was done as a way to give money to the poor children in the village.
Pani Bharna – Welcoming the Bride at the Groom's Home
Upon arrival at the groom's home, his mother pours mustard oil on both sides of the door before allowing the couple to enter. The pouring of oil is an act of welcoming in Punjabi culture.
The groom's mother then begins the Pani Bharna in which she attempts to drink water from a steel jug and her son prevents her from doing so. After the third, fifth or seventh attempt he allows her to drink it.
The couple enters the home and the bride is seated among the female relatives of the groom's side.
The women give sagan to the bride to welcome her into her new family and the wedding day usually ends here.

Chapter 4 of Kittery Embers will be posted tonight or tomorrow (I just have to finish up the second song).
In the meantime, here's "Butterfly with a Bloodshot Eye", one of the new songs for Chapter 4:

Quicktime or
I take your heart, it's a butterfly
Too fragile for the wind or sky
And away we go
Your suitcase packed, all the birds take flight
Goodnight moon and goodnight night
And away we go
You're a butterfly with a bloodshot eye
With a rainbow needle you sew the sky
And shoot into Neverland
Now shoot into Neverland
If you want to fly free like a cut loose kite
Trip along alone till you trip the light
Sam is now our new ambient artist in residence.
He's been asking me to bring my "piano" downstairs so last week I hooked up my little midi keyboard and Sam's being really digging it. Today, while I was washing dishes, I heard him settle on this one sound and a little simple pattern of two or three keys played in slow alternation. So I snuck over and hit record on Fruity Loops.
He said he thought it sounded like two robots fixing each other. So Sam's first song is called "Two Robots Fixing Each Other":
[audio: http://radioghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/SamsSong.mp3]
Afterwards, he did a little drawing of himself and the keyboard (while eating yogurt):
Sam and I hike up Welch Mountain every week or so during the summer. It's just a couple miles down the road to the trailhead. We have lunch and sit on the ledge. Every time we go, Sam walks a bit more of it himself and then when I get him in the backpack he often falls asleep.
The opening wood cut of Welch Mountain was done by Herb Waters, who lived about a mile from Welch. I did a story on Herb for NHPR a little while back.
The music is just simple improv'd piano. On the previous couple videos I did with Sam (Sam Sleds and the Missing Yaktrax) some people thought the music was a little too sad sounding. It's not sad on purpose and I think it's more in tune with the idea of how transitory everything is.
The video was shot with a Creative Vado.

We both wanted to eat Indian food, but did not want to eat that greasy restaurant food. So I decided to make some khichadi and bengan aloo sabji (eggplant and potatoes) when we returned home. It took me 30 mins to prepare and lay the table, but the satisfaction you get is worth million dollar. Khichadi can be eaten with sabji, Kadhi or yogurt. This recipe is very simple with few ingredients, yet tasty. Hope you all enjoy it as well!

Artist: Chalk Repairer
Song: [last piece]*
Recorded at The Tranzac's Southern Cross Lounge (Synaptic Circus Sundays), March 25, 2018.Chalk Repairer - [last piece]
More nimble drift'n'drag from Patrick O'Reilly's compositions, this time in an ensemble with Andrew Furlong (double bass), Laura Swankey (vox), Derek Gray (Tibetan bowls) and Edwin Sheard (alto sax). The whole set segued nicely from piece to piece, so you can hear a bit of O'Reilly's looped/processed music box at the start here before the group picks up the tune.
[Edwin Sheard and Patrick O'Reilly will be playing some "furniture music" alongside Anh Fung at Red Eye Espresso on Sunday, May 27th. The next Synaptic Circus Sunday will also be on May 27th and will feature sets from Jonathan Adjemian and LAL's Nic Murray.]

Yesterday, worked out the arrangements with the shipper- she'll probably be delivered Thursday mid-day, to Dennis's barn, because Katie took Cammy out of the barn with 12 hours notice on Sunday. Probably being the word because... evidently, she's a tagalong on some other horse's race card, so if he doesn't race, she may or may not be coming up. In either case, she might be here someday for less than $750- is what I got out of the conversation. Insanity, right? Originally, she was coming here last night at night and would be here at about 5-6am this morning. I almost lost my mind trying to figure out what needed to be done before that happened, but have to admit I was a little disappointed, although VERY relieved, to hear the pushed back date. So, yesterday, I dragged Dennis to the grain store, where I promptly pissed off the grain person by telling her I wasn't going with her recommendations and would be going with what I thought best. Thank you, but no thank you. The barn and store owner agreed with me when the grain lady got her on the phone, but it didn't make her any happier toward me. Sherwood- the name in itself is beginning to grow on me- is going to be on Fibre Max, a high fiber and fat but low starch diet, as well as alfalfa/timothy cubes and omeprazole granules from Abler.
We got her stall and paddock all figured out, she's in Bandit's stall with a 30x30 paddock cleared out for her and baby-proofed. I went to Dover today and picked up a breakaway halter, a new groomy brush which is very soft, and a lead with shank. I went through Dennis's barn yesterday and there are no leads with shanks- and it occurred to me that he has no IDEA what's coming into his barn. I'm definitely skipping Peds if she comes during that time because... he may not be able to get her peacefully in the barn. What have to done to his sedate herd??
I'm so excited!! I could barely sleep last night, I was dreaming of sugar cubes and study buddies- hanging out in the paddock like I used to with Dan and Mouse, but with Loki and Sherwood- and the sweet sweet things we will do together. Our first leading lesson, and our first lunging lesson. First day with the herd and off the property! So many firsts!! I'm so excited!! Anyway, must get to studying... Yeah... Right.

The FIVE Biggest Things to Happen In the New 52 DCU in 2014
In 2014, the DCU saw plenty of turmoil, from the potential demise of Earth 2 to the new threat to Superman from a morphed version of Doomsday.
There were plenty of other twists and turns in the DCU — like the long list of New Gods who battled earthly heroes, and the powerful new nemeses who tussled with Wonder Woman.
In DC's weeklies, Hush manipulated Gotham City (just like in the good old days), and Catwoman became the leader of a crime family, while Brother Eye destroyed the future and a war turned earths against each other in five years.
The list goes on and on, and will probably grow exponentially in 2015, as the DCU prepares for some expected seismic shifts in the middle of the year.
But looking back at 2014, a few events emerge as the most important, particularly knowing what we now know about what's coming next. So without further ado, we bring you the Five Most Important 2014 Events in the New 52.
5.) Anti-Monitor Revealed
DC readers are getting plenty of alternate earth stories these days, but in 2014, fans learned in Forever Evil that one of the Multiverse's alternate earths had been destroyed. And after the Crime Syndicate escaped the destruction of their Earth 3 home, they wreaked havoc on the main DC earth.
But what destroyed Earth 3?
In May, Forever Evil #7 finally revealed who was behind the alternate earth's demise — a power-hungry, New 52 version of the Anti-Monitor.
In pre-New 52 continuity, the Anti-Monitor was the world-consuming villain behind the legendary 1985 mini-series Crisis on Infinite Earths, which reset continuity and eliminated the multiverse.
Now that the Anti-Monitor has consumed Earth 3, the villain is shown with someone off-panel who says, "You have consumed all the power you can from this universe. But I will find you another universe to consume, Anti-Monitor."
With the Anti-Monitor now confirmed as part of the New 52 universe — and with him hungry for more universes to consume and battle — the villain's appearance sets the stage for a major showdown with the main DCU earth.
That clash will also involve a battle between the Anti-Monitor and Darkseid, as the final words uttered in Forever Evil #7 had the Anti-Monitor saying, "Darkseid will be mine!"
Soon after the Anti-Monitor's appearance, Forever Evil and Justice League scribe Geoff Johns revealed that the story thread will be picked up in an event titled "Darkseid War," which is coming in 2015.
So the return of the Anti-Monitor not only set up the next big story in Justice League, but the revelation that his confrontation with the main DCU Earth isn't coming until after DC's Convergence event is one of the first indications that the New 52 universe isn't heading toward a reboot.
4.) Wally West Returns
In a storyline that started in April and continued all the way into the fall, readers got to know a new character in the New 52 universe — Wally West.
But this version of Wally was different from his pre-Flashpoint incarnation, as he not only disliked the Flash, but was revealed to be marked for death in only a few years.
Yet the new Wally's story arc did echo the character's former importance in the Flash universe. By the time the story finished up, a future version of Wally West ends up not only becoming a speedster, but sacrificing himself to save Barry Allen, the Speed Force and the universe.
The story's finale also revealed that the current Wally isn't necessarily going to die in a few years — a concept that issue #35 solidified with the line: "Good thing the future isn't a forgone conclusion!"
While there were a few other pre-New 52 characters introduced in new ways in 2014 (including a recent addition named Donna Troy), with Wally's future destined to be connected to the Flash universe, and with Barry Allen already learning life-lessons from the youth, Wally West's introduction not only gave the Flash universe some needed depth, but gave new life to an oft-requested, fan-favorite character with a lot of potential.
3.) Lex Luthor Turns Hero
After villains took over the entire earth, it wasn't Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman who saved humanity. It was Lex Luthor.
Uniting with a few anti-heroes and bad-guys-turned-good, Lex Luthor saved the world from the ravages of the Crime Syndicate and their evil followers. He devised a way to kill Alexander Luthor, his evil doppleganger from Earth 3. He squashed the shrunken Atomica like a bug. And Lex also defeated the seemingly indestructible Ultraman.
The stint as doing good sticks with Lex, and after he figures out that Batman is Bruce Wayne — and now that the whole world looks up to him as a hero — he strikes a deal with the Caped Crusader to get into the League's confidence.
While the spotlight on Lex has added another dimension to the well-known character, particularly as we've gotten to know his relationship with his sister Lena, Lex's decision to turn over a new leaf also ended up changing the highest-profile team of the DCU.
2.) Damian and Joker Re-enter Batman's Life
Bruce Wayne got more than one huge surprise at the end of 2014.
In October's Batman #35, Bruce Wayne was attacked by most of the Justice League, but it was revealed that the battle was the result of a twisted return appearance by Batman's arch-nemesis, the Joker. A month later, Batman learned that the villain had been right under his Bat-nose for quite awhile.
Eric Border, the Arkham Asylum orderly who first appeared in 2013's Batman Annual, had been an ally to Batman and had a regular gig in Arkham Manor and appearances in Batman: Joker's Daughter and Batman Eternal. But it turns out that Eric is actually the Joker.
The Joker has a new face (after having his old face cut away in a former New 52 storyline, and creepily wearing it loosely across his face). He's also got a brutal thirst for revenge this time around, and, as he's reappeared to Batman in 2014, he's wearing black and knows Bruce by name.
But that dark return in Batman's life has been counteracted in December's Batman and Robin #37 and Robin Rises: Alpha #1, as Bruce Wayne's son, Damian Wayne, was resurrected.
The story of Damian's return kicked off in July, with Bruce Wayne determined to bring his son back to life after he was killed in February 2013. For years now, the Caped Crusader has been without a Robin, and devastated by the loss of his son.
After a story that saw most of the Bat-family traveling all the way to Apokolips to rescue Damian, the child came back to life, giving his Bat-dad a huge hug, as characters watched with tears in their eyes.
The science/magic that brought Damian back was linked to the Chaos Shard and Omega Beam energy from Apokolips. And as a result, Damian Wayne now has superpowers. As the story concluded, the Boy Wonder demonstrated his powers by attacked an invader in the Batcave — throwing everything at him from the giant Penny to the Batmobile.
As Batman and Robin creator Peter Tomasi has said more than once, Batman needs a Robin. And the return of Damian marks not only the restoration of Robin as Batman's sidekick, but also the return of Bruce Wayne's beloved son.
1.) Booster Finds the Pre-Flashpoint DCU
In Booster Gold: Futures End #1, it was revealed that the universes from before the New 52 reboot were still around somewhere. Not only does Booster Gold visit some of them, but the Futures End issues reveals that Booster will be forced into helping a villain collect them by utilizing DC's timestream.
The images in the Booster Gold issue (and this last page from Superman: Doomed #2) included characters that are not only from pre-New 52 worlds, but seem to even include characters from alternate timelines and the future. While readers were led to believe that timeline no longer existed, because of Flashpoint, it turns out that, somewhere out there, the pre-New 52 folks are still living their lives.
It's since been revealed that the Booster Gold issue was leading up to the 2015 event Convergence, which takes place in April and May, but looking back at 2014, that moment in DC history — when Booster discovered the pre-Flashpoint characters and concepts — opened the door for an infinite number of story possibilities that are still on the horizon for DC fans.

Have you ever made tortillas at home? Since I was little my mom made tortillas at home, with the exception of the years we lived in Mexico. After tasting the real tortillas I only buy tortillas if I am extremely lazy. They are so easy to make at home and are much more enjoyable this way. Of course these are not as good as real Mexican tortillas made in Mexico, but they are the best I can get here.
Here is my mom's recipe:
4 c. Flour (I like to use half whole wheat half white)
1c. Warm water
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. oil ( I use olive oil, but any kind of oil works)
Mix all the ingredients together and form a ball. Make 6 balls out of dough. On a lightly floured surface roll out into thin tortillas. Warm up frying pan to medium heat, using a tiny bit of oil fry each side.
That's it! Aren't these so simple? They are also much healthier than the store bought ones since you can add whole wheat and control the amount of salt and oil. I highly recommend trying them. They are best served warm as tacos or quesadillas.

Robot Gone Wild
January 22, 2011 3:07 pm
Tags: 3D, CINEMA 4D, MAXON, Meleah Maynard
Visual effects artist Noah Rappaport directs a team of CINEMA 4D artists in the creation of three music videos for Disco Biscuits.
What would a skinny, gangly robot do if it could break free from its, well, robotic life and roam freely around a big city? Noah Rappaport has some idea. A longtime visual effects and broadcast motion graphics artist, Rappaport has always wanted to direct a project. This spring he got his chance when Los-Angeles-based Ghost Town Media, whom he had been freelancing for, asked him to submit a story concept to go along with three tracks from the new Disco Biscuits album, "Planet Anthem."
Rappaport found it fascinating to watch actors, like the bouncer at the nightclub, reacting to a robot that would be composited into a scene at a later time. "We had to describe what the robot would do so the actor could pretend it was there," he recalls.
The band, which describes their music as being electronica jam-fusion, loved Rappaport's idea to use a robot as the main character in their music videos, including one for their single "On Time," which includes a lot of tech-related lyrics. With just five weeks to complete the first of the three videos, Rappaport had to work fast. So he quickly assembled an international team of skilled 3D artists he'd learned about while participating in forums for users of MAXON's CINEMA 4D. Rodolfo Roth, from Brazil, modeled the robot. Anton Moss, from Philadelphia, did all the texturing with BodyPaint 3D. And Dublin-based Brian Horgan rigged the model to work with pre-captured motion-capture files, as well as key-framed animation.
"I had been the lead 3D artist at Ghost Town for about a year and I really wanted to do something to highlight my 3D skills," says Rappaport, who has been using C4D for about five years. "I have notebooks full of ideas that I would like to pursue and this robot was one of them."
Rappaport used an HDR globe made from on-set photographs to help create realistic lighting inside the dance club where the robot hits the floor with the woman he later goes home with.
Though each of the three-minute videos is for a different song, they make up a trilogy that tells the story of a robot who escapes from a factory where robots are made by other robots. The first video, "Widgets," makes clear that this robot is more sensitive and aware than his counterparts, so when he sees his chance, he escapes and immediately begins observing humans to learn how they behave. It's clear, though, that he doesn't fit in, especially when a hot brunette mistakes him for a parking meter.
Later, in "On Time," the robot spots the same woman going into a nightclub with friends and follows her. Soon, the two of them are out on the floor where the CG robot blends in seamlessly with the dancing crowd. For all his awkwardness, the robot has clearly got the right moves and the woman takes him back to her apartment where their make-out session is abruptly halted when one of his eyes shatters.
In "Widgets," the first video in the trilogy, robots are shown toiling away in a factory where more robots are being built.
"Fish Out of Water," the last video, is more introspective, picking up where the fiasco with the woman leaves off. "The whole story is kind of about if something couldn't talk but had intelligence and emotion, how would it build on that and communicate," Rappaport explains. (Check out the "On Time" video, which debuted on MTV2 and MTU, here: http://www.xvxv.net/.)
To stay on budget, footage for all three videos was shot at the same time in just five days. Two weeks into production, as they were about to start shooting, Rappaport had finished creating animatics from C4D to use on set and plan each shot. High dynamic range (HDR) photos he had taken of the club set came in handy when Rappaport worked with David Torno of Ghost Town Media to light scenes and composite scenes in CINEMA 4D using Global Illumination and minimal directional lights. Ghost Town also handled all the motion tracking for the videos. Compositing was done with After Effects.
Shortly after escaping from the factory, the robot spots mannequins in a shop window and realizes how different he is from the people around him. To make the reflection Rappaport put in a reflective plane and replicated the distance between the robot and the glass, rendered out a separate image and composited it in.
Shots inside the robot factory were filmed with a handheld camera so Rappaport could 3D track what the camera was seeing and replicate that in C4D. "We used SynthEyes for all of our 3D tracking," he explains. "I wanted to see exactly what the camera did, so inside C4D the motion blur could be fully replicated." If time had allowed, Rappaport would have liked to do more 3D tracking but, instead, he added in camera motion in After Effects to get the look he wanted.
Rappaport found the team of 3D artists he used to create and animate the robot through C4D forums he follows online. "It was great because even though we had never met, we were able to easily exchange our 100 MB files and work together well on the project," he says.
Lighting in the dance club was a little tricky to pull of, Rappaport says. To do it, he used an HDR globe he had made from on-set photographs that he took with the help of the director of photography and an actor who stood exactly where the robot would be in the shot. "I used a panoramic camera and photographed multiple exposures of the spot where the robot would be so I was able to replicate the lighting setup with one-hundred percent accuracy," he says, adding that if there were one thing he would do over he would make the robot a little beefier because his skinny frame got lost sometimes on camera.
To make animating the robot as efficient as possible, Rappaport made good use of C4D's powerful layer browser and Visual Selector tool to quickly locate and select parts of the robot for keyframing. The actual footage was used as a backdrop during the animation process.
Having used both Global Illumination and HDR for the project, render times were too long to be rendered in house, so Rappaport and Ghost Town opted to use a render farm for most of the shots. "We processed a few things in house, but there were something like 70 shots in "On Time" and the entire video was about 6,000 frames, so we needed to crank that out someplace else," Rappaport says.

It's a travel day. I'm flying to Kansas City, Missouri to score AP essays–topic: English Language–for seven straight days. The company flies in 1500-something English teachers, puts them up in hotels, feeds them three meals a day, and pays $1600+, plus reimbursement for food and transport on travel days. Without any one of these perks, the job wouldn't be worth it. Pouring over those essays (last year I averaged 100 scored per day, and the guy across the table from me tackled at least five times that total) is miserable work. Just awful. My brain feels like soup at the end of each day. So, although I am looking forward to seeing a couple friends and scarfing down some Kansas City BBQ, this isn't the most joyous travel day ever. Through security and the boarding, take off and cruising, Dylan's Oh Mercy is helping me through.
The band on this album is very good, and the producer refrains from tainting the music with synths and splashy snares. Right from "Political World"'s high-Western guitar loops and thick percussion, rolling together into motion like a freight train, this album contains more complex–and more engrossing–arrangements than those generic backdrops of the previous decade. In fact, we might have to dig all the way back to Planet Waves to find such quality musicianship, such a crisp, competent band. Dylan's singing, too, seems to have improved. He takes his time here, hitting the notes on folksy melodies like "Where Teardrops Fall" and "Ring Them Bells." On the sneering rock songs, too, such as "Everything Is Broken" and "What Was It You Wanted?," he opts for the emotive impact of direct and simple delivery rather than pushing his voice behind its capabilities. Harmonizing and songwriting with the Traveling Wilburys has, I'm assuming, kicked Dylan back into gear.
The lyrics throughout Oh Mercy, too, are mostly thoughtful and challenging. "Everything's Broken" runs the gamut between existential impermanence and the flimsiness of the tools in your junk drawer. "Broken dishes, broken pots / Streets are filled with broken hearts." "Man in the Long Black Coat," with its swampy acoustics, seems a counterpoint to the standard "Long Black Veil," and further elaborates on the Dylan's moral universe: "Preacher was talking from the sermon he gave / He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved." Coming from the preacher, this message rings true. But as is so often the case, when Dylan condemns behavior from a prescriptive, authorial voice, things get fishy. "Disease of Conceit" suffers for this folk wisdom: "Steps into your room eats into your soul / Over your senses you have no control / Ain't nothing too discreet about the disease of conceit." Sure, those in power can be dangerously conceited, but in and of itself, the conceit articulated here seems to oversimplify the root of human suffering. However, this accusation is acutely Dylanesque. Evil will overcome all assholes seeking power.
Do I get this album? It's a fine bounce-back effort featuring a handful of memorable and important tracks. Do I need the previous albums? I'm still waiting for an effort equal to Blood on the Tracks, or even Bringing It All Back Home. Do I like it? We're getting very close to great.

It's the new buzz word this year, autonomous driving. There had been some talk of future trucks and truck platooning in the past couple of years, but now truck technology seems to have made a quantum leap forward to the point where local authorities in both the US and now Europe are willing to let autonomous trucks out there in the wild with other road users.
The latest release sees a Mercedes Benz Actros driving autonomously around on a German autobahn with a happy politician in the passenger seat endorsing the testing program for autonomous trucks on public roads. This is a very similar scenario to the one we saw on Nevada's roads earlier this year.
How very different this seems to the heavily stage managed futuristic event from just last year, where Benz showed a 2025 truck driving completely autonomously?:

A burglar who was caught red-handed with his loot when police raided his home has been jailed for 27 months .
Philip Littlefair left no clues when he forced a kitchen window at a house and stole £1,000 worth of property.
But police narrowed down their suspects to three addresses and obtained warrants to search the houses including Littlefair's, said prosecutor Christopher Baker.
They recovered the stolen DVD and CD players from the home of Littlefair, 23.
Littlefair, who had burglary convictions back to 1997, was a long term heroin addict, said Anthony Braithwaite, defending, at Teesside Crown Court.
Littlefair, of West Lane, Bishop Auckland, pleaded guilty to the January 9 burglary in Lowther Road, Bishop Auckland, and he also admitted breaching a drug testing and treatment order.
Judge George Moorhouse revoked the order and imposed a three-month jail sentence consecutive to two years for the burglary.


text: The reported work on changes in lysine content in milk and dried milk is examined. The cause of these losses, the Maillard reaction, and the methods of lysine determination are discussed. All methods have recognised faults. Little information is available to the food processor regarding the kinetics of these losses, and the methods of their determination are not simple enough for routine quality control application. Although the lysine content of milk products determined after acid hydrolysis is known to be higher than nutritional studies indicate the causes of this are being established. Therefore acid hydrolysis in conjunction with a GLC method of amino acid analysis was adopted after some modification. (It was found that dialysis of the milk prior to hydrolysis resulted in cleaner chromatograms and that as the recovery of several amino acids, such a proline, leucine, and isoleucine, was not affected by heat treatment then these were used as internal 'internal standard'.) No simple rate expression could be found to fit the kinetics of the loss of acid released lysine. A first order model requiring the losses to be increased by a factor of 3.43 was devised and this could be used to satisfactorily predict values for acid available lysine in the heat treated milk. The possibility of the 3.43 factor being due to the regeneration of lysine by acid from Maillard intermediates, although requiring assumptions, was found to be not unreasonable. The energy of activation of the reaction leading to a loss in acid released lysine at 31.5 Kcal/mole is similar to literature values while the model value of 37.2 Kcal/mole is rather higher. The literature findings of little or no loss of lysine during pasteruization, evaporation, and sterilization of milk are supported. The technique of protein determination by dye binding was examined and applied to following changes in lysine in heat treated milk. The inconsistencies in reported work on dye binding is of little consequence as relative changes only are required. Changes in dye binding using amido black did not follow simple order kinetics, even when allowance was made for the constant binding by arginine and histidine. A first order model requiring the changes to be increased by a factor of 3.68 was developed. About 46% of this factor can be explained by assuming constant binding by arginine and histidine, the remainder of the factor possibly being due to Maillard intermediates binding dye, and/or a change in binding stoichiometry occurring. From the model it is possible to predict the observed changes in dye binding. Literature findings were supported. The energy of activation for the dye binding changes is 28.6 Kcal/mole, and for the model, 30.8 Kcal/mole. Ancillary investigations showed that the concurrent colour changes due to heat treatment have an energy of activation of about 30 Kcal/mole, and that there is a relationship between colour and dye binding capacity in heat treated milk. The relationship between the Pro-Milk and a typical absorbance spectrophotometer was determined, and an expression found which would enable a spectrophotometer to be used for protein determination.

Can FDIC solve "too big to fail" for non-banks?
I agree with this -- in fact, did last month -- but it has been clear for awhile that the Fed didn't want this role. In fact, the college of regulators is a Bernanke idea from a few weeks ago. You might argue Bernanke was just seeing the handwriting on the wall, but I doubt many in the Fed disagree with Vincent Reinhart's appraisal.
Under this authority, jokingly referred to as "Death Panels for Banks," the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. would oversee the dismantling of large financial firms much as it does now when it intervenes in commercial banks that are at risk of insolvency.
Decisions about which institutions are so large that they pose a system-wide risk and must be monitored would be made by a Council of Regulators, comprised of leaders from the Fed, the Treasury Department, the FDIC, and other bank-oversight agencies....Some independent analysts also have warned that handing the Fed new, expansive powers as the systemic risk regulator could distract it from its principal role of setting monetary policy to sustain growth and contain inflation.
"I didn't want the Fed to have that role because I think monetary policy is too important," said Vincent Reinhart, a former top Fed economist who's also wary of the emerging legislation. "If all you do is a college of regulators, that's just inviting a debating society."
Reinhart and Fed governor Dan Tarullo have both argued in the last week that the problem is too-big-to-fail and that the issue is how to deal with non-bank financial giants like Lehman and AIG, for which regulators had to improvise. (See the McKinley and Gegenheimer timeline FMI.) If these companies are going to be placed under some government protection in a too-big-to-fail environment, I have to disagree with Ed that they don't get some kind of regulation. You may own a skyscraper as your private property, but when you tear it down you're responsible for any damage done to nearby buildings. If a private non-bank fails and in the process takes down healthy financial institutions that were counterparties, you may have a reason for using the law to limit collateral damage. (That doesn't mean you always get it right, as John Carney points out in the AIG case.)
So what can be done, if we're not going to use the Fed or FDIC? Before you say "we have to do something", consider the benefits of large banks, says Charles Calomiris. Diversification, economies of scope and extended reach to developing markets are some of these benefits. Are we at risk of losing those gains as we try to solve too big to fail?
UPDATE: John Taylor summarizes the testimony around Frank's FDIC proposal.

Heart failure occurs when the heart loses its ability to keep pumping blood with normal efficiency to the body. This means that the heart is not able to provide blood to the other organs such as the brain, liver and kidney. Heart failure occurs due to the failure of either one or both sections (ventricles) that pump blood to all the other parts of the body. The signs and symptoms indicate which section of the heart has been damaged and is failing. These include shortness of breath (dyspnea), cardiac asthma, congealing of blood in the body especially in the liver (stasis) swelling and blueness (edema) and enlargement of the heart (hypertrophy).
Heart failures occur for many reasons which include: Coronary heart disease which causes the heart muscles to weaken Muscle weakness resulting from toxins such as alcohol and smoking Heart valve disease which weaken muscles such as blood leakage or blocked arteries. High blood pressure caused by pressures and obesity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of heart failure patients, the percentage of the population of the UK that has heart failure, the mortality rate among such patients and the number of patients that are hospitalized each year with heart failure and the "association between precipitating factors its and clinical outcomes".
The purpose of the study is to address healthcare issues about the % of patients admitted, % of patients treated in a cardiology ward, % of patients that died, % of patients discharged after treatment and the number of patients who were referred for cardiology follow-up and those who survived on medication. Other factors such as age, life styles, exercise or the lack of it, smoking and consumption of alcohol, diseases such as being overweight (obesity), hypertension and diabetes. The most effective way to improve the functions to normal is diet control, shed extra weight and the use of medications. Diet control means eating food with the minimum amount of salt and with as little salt as possible.
The proper amount of fluid intake is also essential for patients that have suffered from heart failure. Medicines are a major source for treating congestive heart failure and when correctly used at the appropriate time helps in improving the condition of patients suffering from heart failure or heart attack. Besides the necessary medications many people get pacemakers for the treatment of heart failure. This device is implanted in the heart and it delivers balanced electrical stimulations to three chambers of the heart and is effective in treating heart failure by enabling the heart to pump blood more efficiently throughout the body.

Lush Dream Cream
I love the smell, it's quite a subtle scent so won't distract away from your perfume unlike other products from Lush.
I apply it all over before I go to bed and at any point during the day if my skin is feeling itchy. It really does help and calms my skin down so I don't scratch it. I just wish they sold a smaller pot so I could carry it round in my bag, this can be easily solved though by putting some in a travel/sample pot. It doesn't make my eczema go away as quick as steroid creams do but it does really help. Plus there aren't any side affects when using it unlike steroid creams. I find it doesn't soak in quick enough to be used as a hand cream but this is fine when used as a body lotion.
Definitely one I'll be buying again and again as it's such a great moisturiser let alone a good eczema cream.

Have you tried it before?

I think I got a sample of this a few months back and although it's a great moisturiser I dislike the greasy feeling so I chose Smitten instead.ReplyDelete
I know that Smitten has gone to retro now, but it costs half the price of Dream Cream (probs cos it's half the size), but it also lasts aaages. I use it every night on my hands and since buying it in October I've only just hit the bottom.
If you don't want to spend that much next time, give Smitten a go :) xx
@Joanna, if you add on postage to smitten it comes out as roughly the same price :) It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy but that must be because my skin is dry from the eczema :) xxxReplyDelete
Wow the texture looks lovely! I'm always looking for good creams to help get rid of my eczema, but like you said, nothing seems to work like steroid creams z=ReplyDelete
@Gaby, this is one of the best creams I've tried though for eczema so its worth a go :) xxxReplyDelete
I've read so much about this. As soon as I run out of body lotion (which is pretty soon) I'm going to give this one a go. Thanks for the review :)ReplyDelete
@Snooze, hope you like it, let me know what you think :) xxxReplyDelete
Ah, you've just given me a great idea for what to get my Mum for Mother's Day! She loves body butters and things so this will be right up her street! Thanks :)ReplyDelete
@LC, hope she likes it :) xxReplyDelete

I highly recommend The Body Shop's Shea Body Butter. I use it everyday. My skin starts to crack and bleed in the winter, and it really helps. It stops the itching immediately.ReplyDelete
@Anonymous, I find the body butters are too heavy for my skin and actually make my eczema worse. I do use them on my feet though :) xxxReplyDelete

Jack Goff was left over the moon after breaking his winless duck in the BTCC in the final race of the day at Snetterton today.
Taking a comfortable and assured lights-to-flag victory in the final race of the day, the 24-year-old became the ninth different winner of 2015 and in-doing so, extended Triple Eight Racing's run of winning a race in every season since 1998.
After claiming P9 and P6 in races one and two at the 2.99 Norfolk circuit, Goff was pulled out of the bowl for the reverse grid encounter to start from pole position.
Launching from the front row, the former Clio Cup champion built a healthy two-second lead which was maintained until the final few laps, but it was still enough for to hand a first ever win in the BTCC, a popular one as team partners, friends and family swamped parc ferme.
Speaking to BTCC Crazy after the podium celebrations, Goff said: "It feels amazing and it's great to get the monkey off my back now. There has been a bit of pressure on me this season but it felt amazing getting out of the car and seeing the team, sponsors and family facing me in parc ferme.
"I nailed the start, of all the times to make a good one as well and it was off pole position, and I just pushed hard on the soft tyre to build a gap before then settling into the groove and looking after the softs.
"We had enough in the end to hold off Jason in the final laps but I should have just kept on it. The team have worked so hard this weekend and it is brilliant to get this first win for everyone and now we can move forward and keep visiting that podium."
Virtue of his maiden triumph in the series, Goff now moves up to P8 in the championship standings.

EXETER — Rockingham Nutrition Meals on Wheels clients got a sweet treat at the Exeter Senior Center Wednesday, when 10 Stratham Girl Scouts brought in hundreds of tasty cookies.
EXETER — Rockingham Nutrition Meals on Wheels clients got a sweet treat at the Exeter Senior Center Wednesday, when 10 Stratham Girl Scouts brought in hundreds of tasty cookies.
The girls, who range in age from 5 to 15, donated more than 300 boxes of Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas and other Girl Scout cookies to Rockingham Nutrition Meals on Wheels. The Stratham Scouts have donated cookies to the program for the past four years as part of their Gift of Caring program.
The girls dropped boxes of cookies off after school in years past, when everyone had already gone from the senior center. But this year's school vacation offered the opportunity to stop by during the day.
"I like knowing that I can help and seeing that they enjoy the results," said Kelsey MacDonald of Exeter, a 15-year-old member of Stratham Troop 11115.
This year, the 113 girls in the 10 Stratham troops — members of the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains — sold a total of 727 cases, or 8,724 boxes, of cookies.
Cookies can still be purchased by contacting the Stratham troops through www.girlscoutsgwm.org.
On Wednesday, the Scouts were led by 2-year-old Kyra Hays of Stratham in joining the seniors in a light exercise class. Exercise is offered at the senior center three times a week.
Hays followed the actions of the seniors, sitting on a chair touching her toes, lifting her arms and turning her head from side to side.
"Now you get the swimmer's badge," Rockingham Nutrition Meals on Wheels client Nancy Hunt joked with the girls.
The Scouts said they had fun at the center interacting with clients.
"I loved it," said 9-year-old Sophie Heghes of Stratham, member of Girl Scout Troop 492. "I liked meeting new people."
The seniors said the visit was enjoyable for them as well.
"It was nice for (the Scouts) to come in and see what us elderly people do," said client Elaine Chubbuck. "A lot of kids think seniors can't do anything, that we're too sick or too tired."
Hunt said it was fun having the girls come in for the afternoon, particularly looking at their patches, which Hunt said reminded her of her own children who were Scouts.
"They are very different now," she said. "I've since made my children's badges into a quilt."
MacDonald, a senior Girl Scout Troop member, showed off her patches for eco-action, community service and technology, among others. The Scout said she is in the process of earning the Gold Award, the highest achievement for Girl Scouts.
To earn the award, girls must complete 30 hours of leadership service and 65 hours toward a community project. To earn leadership hours, MacDonald is helping to organize the Sweetheart Dance, an annual dance for fathers and daughters.
To help earn her the Silver Award last year, MacDonald created pillows that she donated to cancer patients at Exeter Hospital and local hospice agencies.
The girls are welcome back to the senior center anytime, preferably earlier than next year's donation for some seniors, the residents said.
"They can come back Friday and finish the week with exercises," Hunt said with a laugh.

Chanar Payesh-Naram Paneer ki Kheer-Dumplings of fresh Cow's milk cheese in a reduced milk sauce with a hint of Cardamom, Orange zest, Bay leaf n Rosewater with Pistachio n Rose-sugar for the Bengali New Year
I love the fact that Bengali new year comes when its spring, just after spring, in fact most of the regional new year across India comes just around spring, when everything comes to life, the trees are filled with fresh baby green leaves, the fields are a sea of green wave-they are filled with new crop of the season n there is hope in the air and the sun is getting to summer…that's how amazing this time is n so the new year is one with nature.
Sweets are an integral part of Bengali cuisine, it is as important as politics and football; yes the common thing between the three is all of them get you high. Bengalis are famous for their amazing sweets but sometimes it hides the other culinary gems, savory cooking is even more diverse n enriching than the making of sweets, that food history is so deep rooted that studying it is like studying the ocean floor. During the time of 'Nabo-Barsho', 'nabo' is new n 'Barsho' is year, the circle of sweets come into play, this is time for businesses to start a new year full of promises n traditionally all their calculation were done in a big fat red book, vibrant red book known as 'Hal-Khata' where the business details are stored, so a new year brings a new red book. Now off course computers n tabs have replaced them but not completely, walking around some streets in Kolkata you will still find piles of red books waiting for their customer.
Nabo-borsho comes in designed sweet boxes here in the land of Bengal if I say so, boxes are filled with different kinds of sweets, each different and one of them will be savory, mostly a crispy pastry deep fried in oil until golden called 'Nimki' and given to the loved ones, to the ones who has been fought with-to begin a new chapter, to the faithful customer n to the potential customer for more business. So when you wanna impress anyone give him a box of these sweets, bursting with terrific calories which surely gives you a high as sugar is so good doing that.
As a kid getting those boxes felt fantastic, along with the box there would be a yearly calendar, illustrated with the gorgeous picture of Hindu gods, such a box will contain 7/10 sweets like Pantua/Gulab Jamun, Laddu, Chamcham, Langcha, Kalakand, Danadar, Gopalbhog, Kheerkadam, Sandesh- yes they are all sweets, see I told you it is box of sweet calories.
Now I'm coming to today's recipe, it is rich, subtle n tastes great when served chilled, it is called 'Chanar Payesh'- payesh is a generic term in the Bengali palette which suggests something cooked in milk and reduced until the milk thickens a bit n sweet in taste, the sweetness may come from sugar or jaggery or fruit juice, mostly rice is cooked in milk, apart from rice, dumplings made out of rice flour filled with coconut jaggery mixture are cooked in milk.
Chana means soft fresh cheese obtained from cow's milk by curdling it with some acid like lime juice or water saved from previous batch of cheese making or sometimes simply vinegar, the acid is diluted with water often since adding strong acid results in making the soft cheese hard quickly.
In my recipe the milk is thickened to one third almost in a big wide vessel, I flavored it with Indian bay leaf/tej patta, green cardamom and when it is done I give them another dimension by adding the sliced peel of orange which gives them the aroma of fresh oranges and I also add a hint of rosewater- the two most prominent flavors become cardamom n orange while in the background you get a little hint of rosewater n tej patta.
For making the chana all you have to do is to bring full-fat milk to boil, then add lime juice mixed with same amount of water to it bit by bit, when the milk curdles well and you see all the milk solids have separated from the whey, you pour the mixture over a muslin cloth to separate the milk solids, then the fresh milk solids are washed in fresh cold water so the acidic lime part washes away, then hang that cloth for the water to drip down for half an hour and you have got fresh cheese- once that is obtained, the fresh cheese is massaged to give it a smooth consistency which takes about 3-4 minutes, then a little sugar is added into the fresh cheese and you can give them shape or just add them to the thickened milk sauce you prepared earlier n simmered for 3-5 minutes n that's all. You need to rest the whole thing for the flavors to develop n exchange after that.
After the whole thing has chilled in the fridge for some hours- it tastes divine, the soft chana dumplings soak that flavored milk and you get a spoonful of them with the milk sauce, the chana dumplings gives away with the slightest touch, literally melting in your mouth and the payesh coats all of that with the flavors of cardamom, orange, rosewater.
When serving I often add pistachio powder along with rose-sugar with some raisins/kismis, the rose-sugar is made by crushing the dried rose petals with sugar n it evokes an aroma, so imagine a spoonful of chanar payesh with a raisin and with pistachio powder n rose sugar in it-gosh it's so wonderful, you have got to give this a go, so here is the recipe.
For The Recipe: You will need
For the Chana dumplings:
Full-fat milk- 500 ml
Lime juice-juice of 1 medium lime mixed with same amount of water, strained
Muslin cloth- 1 piece measuring about 2 ft by 2 ft
Sugar- 1 tbsp, powdered
For the Payesh/ thick milk sauce:
Full-fat milk- 1 lit
Sugar- 4-5 tbsp
Green cardamom-2, crushed
Tej patta/Indian bay leaf-3
Orange peel- 1 medium orange, sliced thin without any white part
Rosewater- 1 tsp
Pistachio powder- 3 tbsp, pistachios slightly roasted, then powdered
Rose-sugar- 1 tbsp
Salt – a pinch
1. Begin with making the chana first, place the milk in a saucepan and make it come to a boil, stir in between so nothing catches at the bottom of the saucepan, in the meantime squeeze the lime juice n mix with water and strain, when the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to minimum and begin adding the lime juice tbsp by tbsp and mix well, once you see the milk has started to curdle slightly add little more lime juice and stir well every time you add the acid to distribute it well. After adding a certain amount you will get a hint how much you need to add or not, once the milk curdles really well you will see big soft milk solids separating from the rest watery part and the watery part looks less cloudy than before, at that point don't add any more acid, stir it slightly and the milk will curdle more prominently in the next few seconds, then pour the whole thing on a container covered with the muslin cloth n lift the cloth up to drain all the water. Don't throw away this water, it is very nutritious, so use it in cooking or just drink it up. Then you need to place the muslin cloth with the fresh cheese under tap water to rinse with your hands to distribute the water all across the cheese, do it for a minute so that the lime juice washes away, we don't want a prominent lime flavor in this, after that hang the muslin cloth from somewhere so that the water drips away from it, squeeze the pouch to extract most water by your hands, then hang it for 30 minutes, after 30 minutes, squeeze lightly to remove more water and it is ready.
Place the fresh cheese on a wooden board or chopping board and massage it with your fingers and your palm, after1-2 minutes you will notice it has started to go smooth, don't do it in a blender, add a little powdered sugar to it and knead slightly, you can skip the sugar if you want, once it is just smooth, take little portions and give them shape either in the form of a ball or conical tiny cylinders or just scramble it, keep aside.
2. For the Payesh place the milk in a wide kadai/wok along with the bay leaf n cardamom pods, a wider surface area makes the thing to go quick, so bring the milk to boil then reduce heat n simmer in medium low flame, stir n scratch the bottom n sides of the pan with a metal spatula every 2 minutes almost, whatever is gathering on the sides n bottom mix it with the milk, we need to reduce the milk to almost 1/3 rd and the milk will thicken n it will develop a new flavor which will take about 25-30 minutes, always scratch what's gathering in the sides n mix it with the rest of the milk, when a film forms on the surface, gently move it to the side n mix back when the milk has thickened, when you can't scratch what is on the side hydrate that part with some milk, so when the milk has reduced to 1/3 rd, add the sugar to the extent of sweetness you like and a pinch of salt, remember once chilled it will taste slightly less sweet.
3. Add the chana dumplings into the thick sauce at this stage and simmer it for 3-4 minutes on low heat, then off the flame, add the orange peel and the rosewater. Pour the whole thing in a bowl and once it comes to room temp. Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
4. For the pistachio powder place a frying pan on low heat and place the pistachio nuts in them, give them 3 minutes on low heat, shake n toss them in between, then put the flame off and transfer the pistachios into a mortar n pestle, let it cool slightly, in the meantime take the dry rose petals n place them in the hot pan you just roasted the pistachio, but on no flame, as the pan cools down it will crisp up the petals gently, that's what we want, no flame here.
Crush the pistachios until you get a coarse powder, then remove and place the rose petals into that, add a little sugar over them and pound lightly to obtain rose-sugar.
Now it is time to take the chanar payesh out of the fridge, so before you add anything to it take spoonful n place it in your mouth, experience the flavors, take another spoon, feel what are the prominent flavors, what are the background flavors, as you keep it in the fridge for one day the flavor will develop even more. When you serve them sprinkle some pistachio powder n rose sugar over them, with some hydrated raisins and see how people fall in love with it and you have already fallen in love with it, isn't it? Bon appétit.

What is this about?: Alex Clayton, an art dealer, finds a portrait of a real woman from Melbourne in the 1930s who was murdered. Soon, she becomes obsessed with Molly, and finding out who murdered her, and then she finds people after her and the portrait.
What else is this about?: Not much else to be honest.
An unsolved murder comes to light after almost seventy years…
In 1999, art dealer Alex Clayton stumbles across a lost portrait of Molly Dean, an artist's muse brutally slain in Melbourne in 1930. Alex buys the painting and sets out to uncover more details, but finds there are strange inconsistencies: Molly's mother seemed unconcerned by her daughter's violent death, the main suspect was never brought to trial despite compelling evidence, and vital records are missing. Alex enlists the help of her close friend, art conservator John Porter, and together they sift through the clues and deceptions that swirl around the last days of Molly Dean
Stars: 3
The Portrait of Molly Dean was a bit of a mixed bag.
It begins with Alex and our introduction to the art world, where we follow Alex to auctions and her train of thought as she contemplates how to appear before other bidders in order to ensure she can the painting she wants – throw in a couple of bids on something else, so as not to appear too eager, and to hold back until the last minute on the things she really wants. She knows the room, knows the other bidders and how they bid and what they bid for usually. It's a complex game with rules that actually kind of reminded me of a house auction.
From there, and buying Molly's portrait, we follow Alex has she begins to investigate Molly's murder, and the book splits into two timelines – Alex's investigation, and Molly herself in the 1930s.
Molly is a woman out of time – restricted by the society in which she lives, and the expectations of her. She longs to be a writer, to travel in circles that understand art and her desire to write, and leave behind the security of her teaching job. Her mother of course, believes none of what she does and is to be quite blunt, awful. But Molly continues to follow her dream, and pursue writing by making her first freelance article about a prominent Melbourne man.
Meanwhile, Alex's part of the story begins to stumble, almost as if the author was treading water to be able to get Molly to where she needed to be in her part of the story. A badly executed retelling of Molly's murder scene is very much an info dump, by a daughter retelling this to Alex as if she was the one examining the scene, and not telling Alex about what her father found. That continues until Alex finds the information about Molly's first and last profile, and realises the truth of who murdered her.
This is an ambitious story, with enough about the art world that made me curious enough to stick with until the end.
