Geek Speak ManCave series- Interviews with Paul Mason included :D
Back in February, I was invited down to 'The Man Cave', on location at Ace Comics in Annerley, Brisbane, by the boys from 'Geek Speak', to record an interview for their 'ManCave' series, about my comic series etc. etc. Also interviewed were Brad Scott of the super popular 'Naked Zombie Radio', and the 'Space Pyrates' comic series creators Matthew Hoddy and Caitlin Major.
To summaries, Todd and I chat a little about the Soldier Legacy comic series's origins of sorts, Jack Kirby and other comic artist I dig, why I'm anti-bully, a little martial arts and childhood, the comics that got me into this whole mess of a career-ish choice, San Diego comic con trips, DC Comics Burbank, Soldier Legacy/Dr Nikola one-shot with Chris Sequeira and Black House Comics (the newly released 'Soldier Legacy's Strange tales') OZ Comic-Con, and upcoming guest appearances at Melbourne and Gold Coast Supanova...and some other stuff. I dunno, I can't remember. Have fun, you'll figure it all out ;P We covered a lot of ground, and I'm very thankful for the invite and opportunity to chat and have a laugh. Thanks again for the support, Geek Speak :D (and apologies for the one or two F-Bomb, kids. Stay in School ;D)
Below, are part 1 and two of the series: Brad Scott, and Matt and Caitlin for your convenience.
Here's something that sparked a few thoughts that maybe are self-indulgent, maybe has bothered me far more than it should of, but overall, I've managed to program into my head as a positive. Since this is a "blog" of sorts, here's a chunk of my brain, folks; bear with me, and apologies :)
I saw pretty early on, the interview video I did, had gotten a 'dislike'. Sure it was one, but man, hard NOT to take that personally considering it's just ME talking... but it's a re-affirmation that no matter how hard I try, or just focus on promoting the comic books and work, learn and do my best with my endeavours etc., someone's always going to have an issue, and "you just can't please everybody". *shrug. When I was in primary school, and came home upset one day from some particularly nasty "let's pick on the freckled, buck tooth, fat kid" session, my Mum and Dad said to me "Don't let mugs upset you". I still live by this, and aim to keep on keeping on. I encourage kids to do the same. Let's just touch on a couple of things in the next few weeks, (let alone the things I'm happy to have landed, and am working towards) to illustrate my point: Next week, I head interstate to test for my 3rd Degree Black belt, something I'm 6 years overdue for, but am looking forward to attempting. The week after, I'm a comic book guest at Melbourne Supanova convention, followed by the Gold Coast with some good friends of mine in the biz. The weekend after that, I'm squad training for the lead up to my events as part of the Australian Taekwon-do team for the 2013 World Championships....Kids, if you buckle to every jealous quip, every put down, negative comment, lukewarm attitude, or even the silence when you do chalk a win up on the board, you will not grow, learn or achieve much. Forget haters, and forget the "entitled" attitude that many people have when they assume they should have what you have, when you're working hard to get it. I'm not being cocky about this, or attempting to boast. Really, I'm merely pointing out my itinerary. If you have a problem with it, then you're probably who I'm walking past to live the life I want to live ;)
That's all I can pass on as a "life lesson" from this, for anyone who cares to read and listen. ;D Keep punching on, kids.
That's my two cents.
Cheers, Diggers. See you all soon.

Affects of Ph on Peroxidase Enzyme
Claire Bell
Biology 1130
Jazmen Myers
Section 36
Peroxidase is a turnip enzyme; it is used in the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide to lower activation energy, speeding up the reaction. The activity of peroxidase is highly dependent on its environment and most importantly the pH level. Peroxidase has been the focus of many recent studies and is believed to possibly reduce swelling among other things. We conducted an experiment testing the effect different levels of pH had on the reaction rate of peroxidase. In the experiment we created different solutions all containing hydrogen peroxide, peroxidase, and guaiacol. However each cuvette contained a different pH level, 2,5,7,or 10. Through the experiment we found the activity of peroxidase is highest at its optimal pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 and ceases to react at pH levels 2.5 and lower and between 8.5 and 9.5 and higher. Our data supported the idea that peroxidase is slightly acidic enzyme; however the more acidic pH levels are more effective as inhibitors opposed to the highly basic pH levels.
In this experiment we tested the effects of the environmental parameter pH on peroxidase activity. We performed this experiment to observe and analyze the effect pH has on peroxidase activity and find the optimal pH level for peroxidase, as well as the ceasing point in the reaction. Parameters are characteristics that can alter an experiment. The parameter we used in this experiment was pH. The pH scale ranges from levels 0 to 14, 0 being the most acidic, and 14 being the most basic. An enzyme is a biological catalyst made up of proteins. Enzymes speed up reactions by bringing reactants close together and lowering the activation energy. Enzymes are extremely specific to their substrates. A substrate is material where an organism lives or the surface upon which an organism grows or is attached. Gauicol was the substance we used as a reducing agent; it served as an indicator changing color from clear to brown after losing a hydrogen ion reduced it. In this experiment we found the optimal pH level and ceasing point by analyzing the substance's saturation point. A saturation point is the point where a substance cannot take in more of another substance in a solution. How does changing the pH influence the reaction rate of peroxidase? For our null hypothesis we predicted there would not be an effect when pH is added. Our alternative hypothesis predicted that there would be an effect if pH were added.
Materials and Methods
In this experiment there was a variety of needed materials. Protective equipment consisted of lab goggles, latex gloves, and a fume hood. We also needed micropipettes to measure and transfer our solutes, Para film to protect our solution, and twelve cuvettes to hold our assay solutions. The most important materials were the assay solutes including: peroxidase, guaiacol, hydrogen peroxide, and our pH levels 2,5,7 and 10. Peroxidase is the enzyme solution we used; it consisted of 5 grams of turnip blended in 500 milliliters of water and was filtered. Guaiacol acted as the indicator. Hydrogen peroxide was the substrate solution in the experiment. The Spectrophotometer determined the saturation level of the assay solutions. To prepare the assay solutions we began by labeling the 12 cuvettes. The first four are labeled A, B, C and D and acted as the blank cuvettes. The last eight were our experimentals numbered 1 through 8. When creating the blank cuvettes the pH buffers were added first. Each cuvette contained 2mL of different pH levels either 2,5,7, or 10. Following the pH levels, 1 mL of peroxidase was added. Lastly, since hydrogen peroxide is light sensitive the 0.1 ML of H202 was added to the blank cuvettes individually before placed in the spectrophotometer. There was no Guaiacol added in the blank cuvettes. Before testing the experimental cuvette, the...

Gero is co-founder and CEO of Signavio, a Berlin-based software vendor specialized in Business Process Management (BPM), Business Decision Management (BDM) and workflow automation. Gero holds a PhD in Business Process Management (BPM) from Hasso-Plattner-Institute in Potsdam, Germany. Previously, he has worked for Volkswagen, SAP and McKinsey.
Signavio has achieved amazing success in a short amount of time – can you tell us a little bit about it's history?
The seed of what is now Signavio was planted during my and the other three founders' time at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, near Berlin. Basically, it was the result of a university project we were working on together. It turned out businesses and governments were hungry for the simple, intuitive BPM solution we'd created. We picked up some large clients very early on which ensured all developments and further tools were highly attuned to the real needs of both public and private sector organizations. Over the last six years we've continued to refine the original tool (the Signavio Process Editor), as well as add further tools to compliment and advance business and government performance around the world. Our core value is creating software people love to use, and we're very proud of the success we have seen so far. We have our clients to thank for that.
Moving on to BPM in Eastern Europe, in terms of technology solutions for managing business processes, Eastern Europe is an emerging market. What do you see as the main benefits of BPM as a facilitator of compliance, performance, growth and innovation in Eastern Europe?
Well looking at Eastern Europe's economic performance and activity over 2015, and the projections for 2016 the future looks bright! Across the region governments are increasing budgets and encouraging improvement of public services – increasing demand and expectations of public services and administrations.
Experience with our clients in the region, as well as other emerging markets around the world has proven effective implementation of BPM has a huge impact on the operational performance of both public and private organizations. Increasing efficiency, transparency, and accountability – these are the cornerstones of vibrant societies and economies. Building businesses and public services communities can rely on and trust. Our clients have also seen significant cost savings, both in terms of personnel and operations.
Given Eastern Europe's emerging market status, what one feature of Signavio's solution do you see as offering the greatest value to organizations in the region?
Implementing BPM projects across an organization can seem like an enormous undertaking, and it is. Signavio makes this painless as the tool is simple for process users, who might have no knowledge of BPM, and still offers all the functionality process experts would expect and require. It's intuitiveness means that minimal training is required, so organizations can spend less time and money on training, and begin implementing right away.
This simplicity also applies at the organizational level. It doesn't matter what level of maturity an organization has in BPM, even if it has been using Excel and Visio or nothing at all for its processes. Signavio's tool adapts to any level of maturity, then supports organization's BPM and other Business Transformation efforts as they develop their process maturity.
How can Signavio help modernize public administrations specifically?
Public investment in education and health facilities is a major stimulus of human capital formation. Unfortunately, public investment is also an area where glaring examples of inefficiency and un-productivity can often be found. This creates an exciting opportunity within public administrations to adopt a process-centric approach to make administrative processes effective, efficient, and strongly aligned to the requirements of the community. Signavio's tool allows organizations to co-create processes across locations to ensure no detail or crucial piece of organizational knowledge is lost. Once benchmark processes are defined, Signavio offers many features to ensure agility and optimization, including the ability to monitor resource use and cost. The ease of accessibility and adaptability means the people carrying out the processes can be sure they are looking at the most up to date information at all times, while their supervisors can be confident work is being completed in a compliant, standard manner.
What's next for Signavio?
At the end of 2015 Summit Partners, a global growth equity investors made a minority investment of €31 million in Signavio, to help expand globally and continue our growth trajectory. We take this as strong indication that what we are doing – our differentiated approach – is changing the way that our customers are optimizing and executing key strategic business initiatives. The team and myself are excited to continue our record of product innovation and further strengthening our sales and service capabilities around the world.

Life at the Sandy Bottom
Sedimentary habitats are exactly what they sound like, areas of sandy, or muddy marine habitats that result from settlements of sand and sediment particulates in locations of lower water movement. When we think of sandy habitats, we imagine shallow lagoonal areas along the coastline, which include areas along the bases of coral reefs in deep harbour bays such as Maracas Bay, Charlotteville and Scarborough. These types of habitats also extend to great depths beyond the continental shelf. Although these habitats may not be the postcards of marine biodiversity, the varying environments in which they are found make them quite diverse in terms of the communities that can live there. As sedimentary habitats are so extensive and rarely accessible, many of these places are underexplored especially in deeper locations; and to this today, the exploration of these habitats still results in the discovery of new species.

What do we find?
Sedimentary habitats support marine creatures capable of living within the substrate by burrowing holes or are small enough to move between the sand particles away from predation, and include small critters, such as crabs, sea stars, clams, conch, polychaete worms and fish. Larger predators, such as stingrays, skates, sand sharks, fish and octopuses, on the other hand, forage the surfaces of these sediment beds for prey. When I used to swim laps along Grange Bay, I remember coming across clouds of sand being disturbed. As I approached the cloud, usually a stingray might be seen digging into the sand for burrowed prey. As the stingrays stir up the sediment, food is released and often a school of fish would be seen in the wake of the stingray scavenging leftovers. Even less is known about the microfauna that live in the tiny spaces between sand particles in their own microbial world, or the impacts these microbes have on the surrounding ecosystem.
|Flounders are ambush predators that camouflage with the sandy substrate. Photo by Anjani Ganase
How can they live there?
The communities of organisms that live in these habitats can be very diverse. In shallow habitats, frequent disturbances such as storm debris make it difficult for permanent establishment of sessile communities because of constant shifting particulates. As a result, the residents tend to be armoured with hard outer shells or tough exoskeletons, adapted to be able to withstand being buried, and abraded by sand particles in these dynamic environments, which also act as their shields against predation. In areas of minimal water movement, poor circulation means that organisms may also have to adapt to low oxygen conditions by having smaller body size, or by living closer to the surface of sand. The feeding modes of these marine organisms also change as the environmental conditions of these sediment basins vary. In locations with constant water movement, you'll find suspension feeders such as brittle stars and Cnidaria, while deposit feeders – crabs, urchins and molluscs – occur in calmer areas foraging the detritus that covers surfaces. In deeper locations beyond the reaches of light, the communities rely on other sources of food, such as from chemical energy at hydrothermal thermal vents or food that sinks from the surface, such as carcasses from whales and other megafauna.
What is the importance?
Much of our commercially important seafood – lobster, conch, crab, scallops and shrimp – come from sediment bottom habitats. In the Bahamas, the Queen conch and the spiny lobster are national dishes, while shrimp is popular throughout the region and globally. Apart from the consumption of this marine life, there is an attraction for recreational exploration of these habitats and the unique organisms that live there. In Southeast Asia, muck diving – diving along sediment bottoms, mostly composed of black volcanic sand – allows visitors to explore and encounter unusual marine life including the famous wonderpus octopus, a brightly banded octopus, as well as nudibranchs and disguised seahorses and frogfish and other assortment of critters. In the Caribbean, we often find flying gurnards, stingrays, and nurse sharks cruising the sandy bottoms.
However these habitats are important for other purposes. Microorganisms that live in the sediment contribute to sediment stability as they establish their homes, by making burrows or by binding sand particles together, often done by sponge species. This results in the trapping and consolidation of carbon and other materials. Organisms that remove suspended particulates from of the water column as they feed also aid in clarifying the water column. This material may include pollutants, which are then stored in the sediment, as well as in the tissues of organisms through consumption. Past studies have looked at the composition of pollutants in the tissues of organisms, such as filter feeding mussels, to determine the extent of human disturbances. Overall, the sedimentary microfauna play a significant role in the cycling of carbon, and other elements, such as nitrogen and sulphur.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) —Heavy rains in the northeast have apple farmers predicting an ample crop, but record highs in the Pacific northwest could hurt the harvest in Washington, the nation's top apple-growing state.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture won't release its forecast for the 2009 apple harvest until next week, but growers in most parts of the U.S. say they expect a good year, despite some bad weather. The U.S. is the world's second-largest producer of apples, behind China.
The New York Apple Association expects this fall's harvest to be at least as big as last year's 29.8 million bushels. The 2007 crop was one of the state's best ever, with a harvest of 31.1 million bushels. Growers in New York, the No. 2 apple producing state, are expected to start picking early varieties, such as Ginger Gold and Paula Red, in the next couple of weeks. The Macintosh harvest starts the first week in September, kicking the season into full swing.

Nowadays, individuals invest many of their time in the workplace and it is for this factor that the monitoring of the business has to make sure that the outside atmosphere of the business is maintained tidy at all times. Industrial cleansing firms are normally worked to provide for the tidiness of the job area.
You have to be sure when picking a Edmonton cleaning service because it may depends on your requirements; whether it's home cleaning, office cleaning , move out cleaning etc. It is essential to function with a business that is inexpensive since the firm is in the service of making a loan and not investing needlessly.
There is no requirement to work with the solutions of a cleaning business if they are not great at their task. To evaluate the top quality of their solutions, the purchase division could see their internet site and observe the solutions that they provide.
Think before offer
People have a tendency to either commend the business for spending in an excellent public photo and will consequently trust their solutions and items. When it comes to the business setting, it is not just a lawful demand that the properties are maintained tidy yet it is likewise a safety and security step.
Nowadays, peoples invest many of their time in the workplace and it is for this factor that the administration of the business has to make sure that the outside setting of the firm is maintained tidy at all times. Generally, a lot of business have their own cleaning solutions and employ industrial cleaning solutions every month for basic cleaning.
It is crucial to functioning with a firm that is inexpensive due to the fact that the firm is in the company of making the loan and not investing needlessly. Furthermore, locate out the firms that have functioned with the cleaning firm and locate out whether they were pleased with their job. As soon as you select an industrial cleaning business, it is crucial to see their physical place in order to verify their solutions.

Just a few more shots from the weekend road trip. Even though the Great Plains are flat, there's a stark beauty there in the dried up creek beds and dead trees. I think it's far more lovely in black and white though. The color palette of Minnesota (and the Pacific Northwest) is more my speed.
I haven't had time to find any internet shares of the day, but you might find my old-school newspaper experience in Wichita to be interesting.
The hometown paper (which gave me my first "real" job in journalism when I was 16 years old, is down to only two sections (News and Sports) and I believe totaled less than 30 pages on Monday. After reading it, I went on a hunt for the New York Times. I tried a Barnes & Nobel, two Starbucks and a Panera. None of them carried it, and the clerks looked at me like I was nuts for asking.
Minnesota, this is just one more reason I love you. Cherish what you've got there, people.
(Also, I was looking for the actual paper as it's acceptable to be seen reading a paper in my family's home, but staring at your phone is considered rude. Which I don't necessarily disagree with.)

Three Reasons Why Blueprint Printing Is Unlike Any Other Kind Of Printing
Blueprints are the maps of projects to come. They are highly technical drawings of homes, buildings, and other structures ordered by a private or public party. Yet, where do these paper drawings come from? Before there were computers, architects would draw out every single sheet of the blueprints by hand. In the modern age, there are blueprint printing services that print and churn out each design page faster than an architect could ever draw them.

Finding ways to more efficiently manage your company's documents can be a great way to reduce your operating costs. Here are three ways that partnering with a document solution company can help you reduce document-related spending in the future.
The Most Common Embroidery Mistakes
It is possible to fix many embroidery mistakes. However, the amount of time that needs to be spent correcting embroidery mistakes is long and it can be very aggravating. It is a much better idea to avoid them in the first place. Choosing The Wrong Fabric Make sure to use the correct type of fabric for your embroidery project. Think about the stitching and threads that you will be using. Then, choose a fabric that is compatible with that type of stitching.

A cat kennel is a great way to keep your cat or cats safe while outside. Indoor cat kennels can be used to contain sick or injured cats. You might also need a cat kennel if you will be remodeling, throwing a party or shampooing your rugs.
Small, Simple Kennel
A simple kennel can be made from two hard plastic pet carriers. Cut a hole through the floor of one of the carriers. Make the hole just big enough for your cat to get through. Stack that carrier on top of the other carrier and trace the location of the hole. Cut the hole in the roof of the other carrier so it matches the first hole. Either glue or bolt the two carriers together so one is on top of the other. Put the litter pan in the bottom carrier and a bed in the top one.
Furniture Kennel
For a larger and more attractive kennel, re-purpose an old curio cabinet or other large cabinet with doors. If the doors of the cabinet are solid, you will need to cut out a large window and screen it with chicken wire. To allow your cat to move freely through the entire cabinet, cut holes in alternating ends of the wooden shelves. Place the litter box on the bottom and toys and bedding throughout the rest of the cabinet.
New Construction
Whether you are building an outdoor kennel or an indoor one, the materials are the same. Really all you need is 12 pieces of lumber, 2-inch-by-2-inch or 2-inch-by-4-inch boards will work, plus 14-gauge chicken wire, small binder clips, wood staples and nails. For tools, a hammer, wire cutters and pliers will do the trick. You can have the hardware store cut your boards to size for you. Nail the boards together to make a frame, staple the chicken wire to the outside. Cut a square out of the chicken wire for a door. Cut a new piece of chicken wire to match the door size, so there aren't any sharp edges, and attach it on one side with some wire. Use binder clips to keep the door closed.
Re-Purposed Cages
There are many small animal cages that can be re-purposed into a cat kennel. Ferret and chinchilla cages are the easiest to re-purpose because they usually already have shelves and ramps. Large bird and parrot cages can also be easily re-purposed by adding shelves for cats to lounge on. Old dog crates and rabbit hutches can also be used in the same fashion. Just be sure that any added shelving is secured properly to prevent your cat from falling.

The Corvette Grand Sport is back. Elaborating on its heritage, the Grand Sport has the same DNA and racing spirit as the 1963 original. Lightweight and with a high-powered LT1 6.2 L V8 engine, this pedigree of the Corvette performance family is a sports car done right.
The Grand Sport has the Corvette precision with a sportier edge, for greater performance and endurance. With 466 hp (343 kW), 630 Nm of torque and a top speed of 290 km/h, the Grand Sport is reaching a new threshold. The high-powered 6.2 L LT1 V8 engine accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds. Track-bred technology gives responsive handling, impressive grip and pedal-feel. Basically the same interaction and feedback as from a racing car.
Fuel consumption combined (l/100km): 12,4-12,3; CO2 emissions combined (g/km) 284-282; Fuel Efficiency Category: G
Direct fuel injection rallies performance. Unlike typical fuel systems, fuel is injected into the cylinder, resulting in more efficient fuel delivery and better combustion. It increases torque, power and fuel efficiency, whilst reducing exhaust emissions.
The dual-equal phaser adjusts camshaft timing at the same rate for both intake and exhaust valves. This improves low-rpm torque and high-rpm horsepower, while bolstering fuel economy.
Designed for peak power and fuel efficiency, the sophisticated engine controller deactivates four cylinders in lighter-load conditions and leverages all eight cylinders during more vigorous driving.
For greater brake control, the Grand Sport comes with large standard Brembo® 371mm/365mm two-piece steel rotors.
The 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission offers the smooth control of an automatic but with quick, precise changes and manual mode for track driving. And the 7-speed manual transmission with Active Rev MatchTM enhances the driving experience by simulating heel-toe shifting perfection.
For even better grip during extreme cornering, the Grand Sport is equipped with lightweight 19" front and 20" rear wheels, wrapped in super-wide Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport ZP 285/30-19 front and 335/25-20 rear summer-only tires1.
The latest member of the performance family is a perfect example of technical racing legacy. From the road prowess of the Stingray to the track-dominant Z06, the new Grand Sport takes active driving to a new level.
To relive racetrack exploits, the Chevrolet Performance Data Recorder2 logs driving sessions with real-time data onto an SD memory card. The windshield-mounted 720p high-definition camera, on-board processor, internal accelerometers and GPS system provide an advanced driving analysis tool. Used also by the Corvette pro racing team, the Cosworth Toolbox software offers numerous opportunities to fine-tune driving technique.
With the turn of a dial, everything changes. Five distinct driver modes (Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track) electronically calibrate up to 12 performance variables to adapt the Grand Sport for any road.
The Grand Sport combines original Corvette DNA with clever engineering and lean design to create a modern sports car. The wider body features sophisticated aerodynamics and cooling elements.
Primed to perform lap after lap, the Grand Sport is designed with technical excellence and for exceptional performance. The race-bred sports car combines a sleek and lightweight architecture with a track-honed aerodynamics package. And for the ultimate in lean design, the Z06-style rear spoiler, carbon-fiber rocker panels and carbon-fiber ground effects package reduce weight further and contribute to the overall aerodynamics.
The original Corvette Grand Sport was born to dominate the track, its natural territory. Developed in 1963 from lightweight materials and packed with the power of a 6.2L 377 CI small block V8 engine, it had a long-lasting impact on Chevrolet racing. The five prototypes created still exist today.
To mark the end of the fourth-generation Corvette production, the Grand Sport returned in 1996 with a limited run of 1,000 cars. Complete with a high-performance LT4 V8 engine and ZR1 chassis, this Grand Sport also featured the retro color scheme in Admiral Blue with a white stripe and red hash marks.
A potent blend of racing power and precision, the 2010 Grand Sport entered with a wider Z06 chassis and a 436-hp (325 kW), 6.2 L LS3 V8 engine. It could do 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and achieve 1.0 g on the skid pad. And a Heritage Package displayed the signature hash marks above the front fenders.
The Grand Sport was originally designed as an open-top vehicle. The electronic convertible top can be easily maneuvered with the push of a button, even when driving at up to 50 km/h.
With an expression of superior control and quiet composure, the Grand Sport is a blend of pure power and smooth performance.
The advanced driver-oriented cockpit is built for cornering. Grand touring and competition sport seats come with a lean magnesium frame, for optimal support, and premium Nappa leather surfaces. Features such as an intuitive Head-Up Display and flat-bottom steering wheel in sueded microfiber or premium leather enhance the driving experience. All set for the greatest thrill behind the wheel.
The 7th generation Corvette is the most technologically advanced Corvette to date with the latest Chevrolet MyLink 8" touchscreen, Head-up Display, Performance Data Recorder and your very own OnStar® Personal Assistant3 available at the touch of a button. This is connectivity at its best.
Stay connected and entertained with a retractable 8" Chevrolet MyLink color touchscreen, which comes with features such as steering wheel controls, hand gesture recognition and voice recognition capabilities.
Apple CarPlay™ links with your iPhone® for making calls, sending and receiving messages, and listening to music4. Supported apps include Phone, Messages, Maps and compatible third-party apps such as Spotify.
The 8" display connects with Android smartphones and can access apps, Google Play Music™ and Calendar4. Integration supports navigating with Google Maps™, making phone calls, or sending and receiving messages.
The Grand Sport has the freedom to roam. With 4G LTE Wi-Fi® and OnStar® technology, the powerful signal provides ability to seamlessly connect up to seven smart devices to the internet3.
The Grand Sport features advanced safety technologies for increased prevention, protection and response in the event of hazards. For immediate driving feedback, the Head-Up Display projects critical information onto the windshield.
The Grand Sport helps avoid potential hazards with Active Handling, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, a rear-vision camera, front CurbView cameras and Traction Control. Standard Xenon High-Intensity Discharge headlamps improve visibility and run-flat tires provide limited functioning in the event of reduced tire pressure.
In the event of a collision, the Grand Sport is designed to help keep both its driver and passengers safe with seat-mounted head and thorax air bags and a light yet stiff aluminum frame structure.
With OnStar® Automatic Crash Response, built-in sensors can automatically alert an OnStar® Advisor, who can connect to the car and request emergency help to the exact GPS location5. OnStar® Services are available free of charge for the first twelve months3.

The European Commission today has approved 3 new migration-related programmes in Northern Africa totalling more than €90 million.
High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini commented: "Today's new programmes will step up our work to managing migration flows in a humane and sustainable way, by saving and protecting lives of refugees and migrants and providing them with assistance and by fighting against traffickers and smugglers. It is our integrated approach that combines our action at sea, our work together with partner countries along the migratory routes, including inside Libya, and in the Sahel. This work has already brought results and will bring more if member states will be consistent with the commitments they have been taking since the establishment of the Trust Fund at the Valletta summit, in 2015."

EKCCMS contains so many wonderful features, it's time-consuming to show them all. So if you're in a hurry, here's a quick summary of some of the "prettiest" features:
Articles module: This module is not only useful for admin users wanting to write blogs, but can also be used for user-contributed content. It includes article comment abilities that can be configured to either allow or restrict anonymous comments. (It also has security features to prevent spambots from auto-posting comments.)
Audio/Video module: Automatically embed media into your site (MP3's, MP4's, FLV's, etc.)
Contact Us Form: Allows users to send you email, and keeps your email address hidden.
Dynamic Content module: Allows you to embed content from other websites, including the option to automatically refresh the data every few seconds (without the user having to refresh the page). In techie-terms, this module is "AJAX For Dummies."
File Explorer module: Allows you to display an "Explorer" style section on your website. Useful for those who want to offer downloadable files to their users, but don't want to constantly update the website everytime the files change.
Google Map: Easily embed a Google map from any street address.
Image Gallery: A fully-featured image gallery that auto-generates thumbnails. Includes many features such as a larger preview for the currently selected image, lightbox popup, full-image link, auto-animated slideshow, and more!
Menu module: Our menu module literally has it all, and all menus are automatically generated. Menu styles include static links, horizontal or vertical Javascript menus, auto-generated menu buttons with mouse-over highlighting, and "breadcrumbs." Any menu can include the complete site map, or just the "child" sections of the current section. Like we said, it's got it all!
RSS Feed: Syndicate content from any RSS feed right onto your website.
Search module: Our Search module provides an "in-house" search through all of your site's content, including content created by other modules (such as Articles).
SQL Reporting: We admit that this module is a bit "hi-tech" to configure (you must understand SQL). But it is a powerful tool for auto-generating spreadsheets and displaying graphs for any data you can obtain from a SQL statement. It is our bragging-right to say that this module has been used to generate reports and graphs for certain Fortune 500 executives for over five years.
Tabview control: A tabview control is useful to display a lot of information in very little screen real estate. Our tabview automatically "crunches" any section on your site into a self-contained block with clickable title tabs.
Twitter Feed module: Automatically embed your Twitter feed on your website ... all you need is your Twitter ID!
YouTube Video module: Automatically embed a YouTube video on your website ... all you need is the video ID!
See below for examples of some of these modules in action.
Adding video content to your website has never been easier! Simply upload your favorite SWF or FLV video files to your videos directory, and then add a "Show Video" content module. The video below was added to this page using just 5 mouse clicks!
Concerned about your media playing on mobile devices? EKCCMS automatically detects mobile devices and uses HTML5 media tags for non-Flash devices such as iPads.
The EKCCMS Google Maps Module automatically generates an embedded Google map by simply setting the map address. You can setup a detailed street address, just the city/state, or even country name.
For more detailed control, you can precisely center your map by setting the LL, SPN, and Z values from a pre-generated Google map. If this sounds like Greek to you, don't worry! You only need to set the address to be up-and-running with an embedded map.
You can also easily define custom width and height values for the map, so there's nowhere your embedded map won't fit.
This map was configured to be 400x300 with an address of "Denver, CO".
The "Verse of the Day" and "Current Weather" content on this page comes from RSS feeds. This content is also flagged as "Auto refresh content," which causes Ajax calls to refresh the content in the "background." There are many benefits to this technique, primarly that your website doesn't have to wait on the RSS content to appear when loading. This makes your website ultra-fast, and also allows rapidly changing content (like stock tickers) to update without refreshing the page. And you don't even have to know how to spell "Ajax" to reap the benefits! Simply click a checkbox, and you're on your way. Finally!
Articles can be entered by any registered user group that you configure, and use a simplified configuration of the WYSIWYG editor.
The Article Module can be used for anything from blog entries, news, recipes, technical help, FAQs, events...or whatever else your imagination can invent!
Optionally, articles can be expired either on a one-by-one basis, or by a global configuration option, so that once out-of-date material can "magically" disappear according to your preference!
For sites with large volumes of articles, built in pagination links make the user experience pleasant, and keep the page load time to a minimum!
Notice the (RSS) link above? Every Article Module can is configured for automatic syndication by default. Of course, this option can be disabled, as well, by simply unchecking one little box!
You can use a tabview control to fit a lot of information into a small spot! In this example, the content for this tabview control is linked to the Home section. This means that every content block on the home page automatically creates a tab in this tabview.
Tabviews can be linked to "hidden" sections, as well.
Here is the same news from the demo page, only using a slightly different configuration with "More/Less" links. The size of the article preview is configurable so you can display as much or little of the article as desired. (This module is configured to show 50 characters of preview.) Also, notice that the More/Less links use dynamic HTML to prevent having to reload the page. Lovely!
Notice the ...More...

The SQL reporting module parses SQL statements--even complex statements with subselects--and auto-generates a sortable HTML table, a spreadsheet link, and a JPG graph.
The reporting interface is configurable to include/remove any or all of the controls. And there is also a "group by day, month, or year" dropdown box available that is not displayed here.
There are many configuration options for the graph in this module including Bar or Line types, graph and axis titles, and width and height.
Romans 13:9-10
Verse of the day "The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."

So I've been frequenting Rosie O'Donnells blog for a few months (went there out of pure curiosity but she's got some really interesting links there regarding 911 if your up for the reading). Anyway, I came across these PEACE Tee's and went ahead & bought one & noticed HEY, she's asking people to submit photos of people wearing their PEACE Tee's - right up my alley! :o) So with that idea in mind & the fact Ivy's not been too interested in me taking "posed" photos as usual, I agreed to let her do some with Liley bunny. Perfect paired with a suttle "hand tinting" action...

New Bunnies & Rosie Tee
Seeing as this week was supposed to be crazy busy we decided to skp the Windsor Fair this year. That is, until we saw our friend bring home the cutest 2 bunny rabbits from their visit! Finally, I got hubby to agree to a rabbit - one rabbit. Yep, one for the girls and one for me! ;o) I think he sort of expected it because when I said to him on the telephone "you're going to be mad at me" he immediately replied "you got two, didn't you?". Ahhhh, he knows me all too well.... So the girls have been having so much fun with these bunnies the past couple days, taking them outside on the harness, playing with them in the living room, etc. I'm honestly wondering what on earth took us so long to get these sweet little things!

DIXIE – As expected, Week 4 in the Dixie League was a weekend that could have some long lasting repercussions. Lets look at the Eastern League: The Hinesville Warrior and the Orlando Crush had been fighting it out for the top spot since the beginning of the season. But, that was until this week when they faced off in Game one of the doubleheader weekend, and the Hinesville Warrior put an old fashioned wood shed whipping on the boys from the Mouse House, 12-5. It started off bad for the Crush as their high flying QB Matt Ryan had a minus 1 point for the day, and though they were able to muster a 4 point day from Todd Gurley, they ended the weekend being swept. In Game 2, they were beaten 14-5 by the top scoring team of the weekend, the Kokomo Kings, which dropped them 2 games behind the Warrior for the top spot in the Eastern League. On the opposite side, the Warrior received a combined 7 points from their Aaron Rogers and Jordy Nelson combo, and 4 points from their defense which is, at this point in the season, one of the best in the entire Dixie League. The Lakeland Raiders, who had been knocking on the door of the top spot, were faced with the task of playing Eastern Division foes Coach McGuire and his Westfield Bombers, along with the Hinesville Warrior, but were swept by scores of 7-5 and 12-5 which allowed Westfield to tie them in the standings this week. The defending Dixie League Champion Sanford Celeryfeds were hoping to rebound this weekend with games against the Western League's Kokomo Kings then Coach Crash and his New Orleans Black Hats. The Celeryfeds were able to fend off the Black Hats 12-7 in Game 2 after being behind most of the day to the Kings in Game 1, only to have their comeback fall short at 14-12.
The Western League had the 2 returning teams from last season Coach Crash and the New Orleans Black Hats, and AF Rookie of the Year Coach Wade Bodiford and his Andalusia Arrows faced off for the first time this season in Game 1 with the Alabama Archers winning it 12-7 due to some late scoring by Tyrrann Mathieu who had 2 points and Steven Hauschka who had 3. In Game 2 the Black Hats traveled to Sanford to take on the defending Dixie League Champion Sanford Celeryfeds in hopes of getting back to the win column but was once again denied the win by the same score of 12-7. The Black Hats who were a dominate force in the Dixie League last season has fallen on hard time this season winning only one contest and leads the league in Errors ( Interceptions and fumbles lost) with 7 and has a league low 8 Home Runs ( TD's scored); the hapless Black Hats even signed star kicker Ryan Succup this week to try to turn their fortunes around, but didn't get him to the team bus, so he never suited up. Coach Noe Terrazes and the San Angelo Wolverines who had a tight grip on the top spot in the Western League through the first 3 weeks, took one on the chin this week with a doubleheader loss to the Andulsia Arrows and the Austin Bulls coached by Dan "The Polish Rifle" Mayhoff. The Bulls, meanwhile, were able to sweep their weekend series against the San Angelo Wolverines and the Westfield Bombers.
As play came to a close on the weekend, the Western Division had a log jam at the top with the Andalusia Arrows tied with the Austin Bulls, and just a half game back is the Kokomo Kings after they put up 14 runs this week and is tied with 2 other teams, the Hinesville Warrior and the San Angelo Wolverines for the league lead in Home Runs ( TD's scored) with 18 each. Then, just a half game back of the Kokomo Kings in the standings are the San Angelo Wolverines.
Week 5 could see some movement at the top of both divisions,with the Eastern League leader, Hinesville taking on the brother duo that run Orlando and Lakeland. Westfield and Coach Maguire are tasked with playing the Lakeland and the Sanford Celeryfeds, who, with a doubleheader sweep could be right back in the thick of things again this season. In the Western League, the tied division leaders, Andalusia and Austin will face off in a Game 2 after Andalusia plays the Kokomo Kings and Austin battles Eastern League foe the Orlando Crush in their Game 1's. New Orleans will again try to get off their losing streak as they take on the Coach Noe Terrazas and his San Angelo Wolverines and then their neighboring Mississsippi rival, Kokomo Kings in a day night doubleheader action. At the end of Week 5 we could see some significant changes in both divisions.

The Woodlands Township is increasing its efforts to meet the community's burgeoning transportation needs. With major companies, like Exxon/Mobil, moving into the area, and businesses are continuing to develop and expand. "What does that mean for traffic coming into The Woodlands?" McKinney asks. "You have to do some forward planning and projecting and working with community partners."
Mike Bass has past experience in transportation and he believes it will help him make a contribution to the committee. "I was excited about the opportunity, because I believe improved mobility and transportation is very critical to our ability to manage our future growth, maintain a high quality life style for our residents and motivate businesses to provide jobs and generate economic opportunities for our community," he said.

Directed by Danny Ben-Moshe (2018, 76 minutes, Australia/India | English and Hindi with English subtitles)
Award-winning Australian director Danny Ben-Moshe revisits a chapter in the early history of Indian cinema, the world's largest film industry, in this fascinating documentary, eleven years in the making. When the screen presence of Hindu and Muslim women was considered taboo in the new medium, Bene Israelis and Baghdadi Jews stepped in to fill their roles, emerging as Bollywood's first megastars. Interviews with the actors' family members and friends, rare archival footage from silent films such as the 1927 Wild Cat of Bombay, retro-style music, and animation combine to revive the songs and dances typical of a Bollywood production, paying tribute to Indian cinema's golden age icons.

Frank PeyraudAmerican, 1858–1948
A hard-working fine-art painter, muralist and panoramist, Frank Peyraud earned a lasting reputation for rural landscapes, especially snowscenes in broadly defined forms and glowing colors. Excepting a trip from 1921 to 1923 to Italy and Switzerland, he was based in Chicago, where a Registrar of the Chicago Art Institute in a materials for a traveling exhibition, described him as the "dean of Chicago landscape artists." (Richter)
Peyraud was one of the first American painters to focus on Midwestern landscape, and did many river and farm scenes including his signature snowscapes. Many of his paintings reflected Impressionism, an abstract style executed with rapid technique and broken brush strokes brought over from France towards the end of the 19th Century. Impressionism received much attention in Chicago in some of the artwork exhibited at the 1893 Exposition.
Of Peyraud and Impressionism, it was written that "he was the most successful of the progressive Chicago painters who experimented with impressionist approaches in the years following Exposition." He was credited with more discipline of execution than many of his peer impressionists and with a "valid impressionism", (Greenhouse) that conveyed poetic interpretations to what many persons regarded as very ordinary rural Illinois landscape. His snowscene haystack painting, Winter Light on the Farm, in the Marshall Collection of Peoria and exhibited at the Terra Museum, shows "crystalline atmosphere and fleeting light of a waning winter afternoon". (Greenwood) and seems to reference the serial haystack paintings by Claude Monet.
Many of Peyraud's works had luminous back-lighting, and careful arrangement of contrasting shapes and a tone inviting the viewer into a "slightly enchanted world into which quotidian human elements rarely intrude." (Richter) Peyraud was born in Bulle, Switzerland, and enrolled as an architecture student at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1881, at age 22 and an established architect in France, he emigrated to Chicago where he spent the remainder of his career. He found employment there as a cyclorama painter, which meant creating huge panoramic paintings in the round, "forerunner of the wide-screen motion picture." (Richter). In 1891, he became involved in retouching Paul Phillipoteaux's panorama, The Battle of Gettysburg, when it came to Chicago for exhibition He continued to work on panoramic and cycloramas spectacles including The Creation for the 1903 Louisiana Exposition. Spring Painted Desert in the Santa Fe Railroad Collection shows at least one trip West.
Peyraud also did mural painting, several of them in Peoria, Illinois including a series of allegorical murals with Hardesty Maratta in the Peoria at the newly-built Public Library. In Peoria, he also taught classes and gave lectures. In 1906, he married Elizabeth Krysher, a portrait painter and illustrator.
