The news is out that Episode III will be shot with the new generation of digital high-definition (HD) camera, the HDC-F950. Stories of this type are usually filled with confounding acronyms, numbers and highly technical information. Just what does it all mean, and why is it important? ILM's HD Supervisor Fred Meyers helps clarify some of the technology.
Episode II was the first major motion picture to be shot entirely on digital cameras. Sony developed the first generation HDC-F900 camera. By not using film, the production team saved the time and money usually invested in film stock and photochemical processing, and was able to attain an image of incredible clarity already in the digital medium ready for postproduction use.
For effects-intensive movies like Star Wars, imagery shot on film would have to be scanned and converted into digital information for the artists at Industrial Light & Magic to incorporate their amazing effects. By starting in the digital medium, the use of HD cameras saved a time-consuming step, and kept the picture digital throughout the production pipeline, from the editorial department, through to effects, through to the final mastering, and -- in select theaters -- through to film-less digital projection.
Director of Photography David Tattersall (left) and High Definition Supervisor Fred Meyers discuss luminance readings during a recent camera test.
The First Generation
"Episode II used the first generation of cameras specifically tailored around a new HD format called 24-p. That was the enabling technology to produce a digital camera and a digital recording system that could be used for a motion picture project," says Meyers. Though the HDC-F900s are seen as the first step, HD cameras had existed before that for broadcast applications such as television. The 24-p, which in this case denotes a 24-progressive frame rate, was the breakthrough.
A frame rate is the number of individual still images that are played back in a second, which when viewed sequentially, produces the illusion of movement. You may have experienced this phenomenon when working with simple flipbooks. When the human eye sees similar still images in rapid succession, it combines those images into motion.
Broadcast video plays back at a different frame rate than traditional film. Traditional film projected in theaters flickers at a rate of 24 distinct still images per second. Video plays back at 30 frames per second, and it's not distinct images but often "interlaced fields," where two images are on the screen at the same time, drawn electronically in alternating lines. This disparity between the playback nature of broadcast and film has long been a hurdle when moving images back and forth between the electronic and physical worlds.
The main accomplishment with the HDC-F900s used for Episode II was that they shot at 24 progressive frames per second. The 24 frames fit in perfectly with the traditions of film projection and editing, and the progressive frames meant that each frame was a rock-solid image, and not an interlaced halfway point of merged fields.
As with all digital innovations, as soon as the first generation is produced, a second generation of improvements is waiting around the corner. The improvements focused on three related pieces of technology: the lenses (which gather the light), the camera (which turns that light into image data), and the recorder (which stores the image data). Lucasfilm provided Sony and Fujinon with detailed feedback from the trailblazing efforts of Episode II to build a better image acquisition system.
"They listened," says Meyers. "Sony and Fujinon have devoted some resources into delivering something that is going to raise the bar for digital acquisition. We were in close contact with Sony about our Episode II experiences, and our hopes to keep the momentum going to see incremental and substantial new features in the camera and the recorder. We shared what we learned, and Sony came up with a new camera format that could be based on the 900-series camera, and had much cleaner image output than the first generation."
Third Generation Lenses
Facilitating the gathering of sharper, cleaner images are the latest generation of lenses from Fujinon. "They listened to us on our experiences on Episode II, and they've made significant improvements on the quality of the lens and the usability of the lens in a motion picture style environment," says Meyers. The new E Series lenses are now considered third generation, and while better suited to cutting edge digital cameras, still retain the familiar user-interfaces that traditional cinematographers are familiar with.
Last year, Fujinon's Cine Super C series of zoom lenses were used for the majority of visual effects photography, including motion control, miniature, greenscreen and pick up shots. Now, the Cine Super E series will be used for all photography, including on-set, location, and postproduction.
Image Quality: What's the 4:4:4 for?
One of the improvements with new HDC-F950 was a re-examination of the way the camera gathered image information. All cameras are built for the same basic function: the gathering of light onto an imaging surface. Whereas film cameras use lenses to funnel light onto the photochemical surface of unexposed film, digital cameras sample that light, and assign numerical data to describe its qualities.
The first HD systems were primarily developed for use in broadcast (the transmission of visual data through electronic signals) and not theatrical exhibition (the transmission of visual data through the projection of light). Broadcast applications favor different qualities of light than theatrical projection does. The first generation HD cameras followed the broadcast standard of capturing light at a YCBCR 4:2:2 output, while the new HDC-F950 provides RGB 4:4:4 output. So, what does that mean?
The letters (YCBCR, RGB) represent the type of data recorded, while the three numbers (4:4:2, 4:4:4) are representative of how detailed that data is sampled. Whereas RGB stores red, green, and blue light data, YCBCR stores the differences between colors.
"The Y stands for the luma, or brightness data, which your eye is most sensitive too," describes Meyers. "The CB and the CR stand for differences between the luma and the color, and those differences the eye is somewhat less sensitive to." The numbers indicate that that the luma is stored at twice the information complexity as the differences (4:2:2). The new format records the colors red, green and blue each at a full 4:4:4.
"The broadcast formats use a different way of storing and transferring color and luma information -- the brightness and the hues -- out of the camera that are based on sampling rates. The original first generation used a system that saved bandwidth -- it reduced the amount of data that comes off the camera to be recorded onto tape. That fit very well with the broadcast format, but was not the most direct path to go into motion picture postproduction," explains Meyers. "So Sony changed that format from YCBR 4:2:2, which was 8-bit, to a RGB 4:4:4, which is 10-bit. That's more numbers to represent each color and each brightness value of the pixels, and a true RGB format which is what is used in feature post-production, film recording, and digital cinema."
Having a richer, purer image to start results in increased flexibility further down the production pipeline. "Not only is this good for the amount of subtle differences in brightness and color that can be output from the camera and recorded onto tape, but it also means there's more information to manipulate in computers," says Meyers. "If you're going to enlarge an image, or if you're going to take a bluescreen element, extract it and replace the blue with other elements, you have more data to process and you get improvements in the quality."
Kiss Compression Goodbye
While the use of digital cameras has eliminated the generational image degradation experienced in film production, there are still processes that lessen the quality of a digital image.
In the traditional photochemical process, the production pipeline that added visual effects to filmed imagery greatly degraded the quality of the original image. A complex device called an optical printer would combine many separate pieces of film -- the starships, the laser blasts, the space background -- into a single composite image. Each layer that was added muddied the quality of image -- much like repeatedly photocopying a photocopy results in a degraded duplicate of the pristine original.
Digital imagery does not undergo such degradation, since the numbers that define the image remain intact throughout the pipeline. However, to better run that cumbersome image data through the pipeline, sometimes the images are compressed or subsampled early on in the process.
Digital information can be averaged in such a way to reduce size. A large area of similar color, for instance, may be averaged to a single color, thus requiring less data to describe the differences. A background that sits mostly still, or an area of image information that remains mostly the same for a stretch of time is averaged, eliminating minute differences from frame to frame. Too much compression results in artifacts -- telltale imperfections that a trained eye can spot, especially under magnification. There's always a trade-off between image quality and image size.
"There are many different types of HD," says Meyers. "It's almost like you're talking about an engine: there are high horsepower and low horsepower engines." This new version has considerably more "horsepower," as it can handle uncompressed data, preserving image purity.
Though Episode II was output at a resolution of 1920 pixels across and 1080 scanning lines deep, the initial image data was often less than that, and was enhanced up to that size by image processing within the camera and the recorder. "In this version of HD, the actual amount of image data that is captured with the new camera and the new recording format is now the full 1920 pixels across," says Meyers.
"The first generation of camera used certain techniques to conserve the amount of storage and reduce the amount of data that had to come off the camera and into the recorder. The technical terms for those techniques are spatial and chroma subsampling," explains Meyers. "The output from the camera was employing chroma subsampling, and the recording system was employing spatial subsampling. Those two techniques are eliminated in the new camera and the new recorder. Also, the new recorder uses substantially less image compression."

Deep in the forest, dodging high underbrush and thick, viny tree trunks, I sped along at a steady hum. My headlights glinted off more than one pair of huge, blue eyes, both on the ground and near rough bark. I wondered what animals they ate besides the invasive human species, since I hadn't seen any other native lifeforms.
Something plopped onto my bike and touched the back of my leather riding jacket. I made a panicked squawk as all the nerves in my body screamed "Red Alert." Before I could reach my hand back to swat the thing away, it scurried up my back and clung to my head with thick, dull claws digging into my cheeks.
I screamed. It screamed. The forest chittered in a rising, deafening chorus as we flew out of the trees, skidded over rocks, and careened onto the beach. I hit the brakes and rolled off the jetbike, hands plucking at the narl to get its claws out of my skin.
Wrested free, the narl scrambled around in the moonlit sand. It called out in tiny bleats, stopping to rub sand off its face with its strange hands.
I didn't waste time. I ran to my bike, pressed the button on it to open the cargo hatch on Lemon, and rode inside. I breathed a sigh of relief as I listened to the door creak closed behind me, hand held to my pounding heart, eyes closed. I wouldn't have my bones sucked out today!
A tiny yelp echoed off the metal walls.
My eyes flew open, and I turned in time to see the little narl, no bigger than a house cat, rush at me on long, furry limbs. It moved so quickly, I couldn't do more than fall sideways off my bike and knock the wind out of myself when I hit the metal floor.
The narl leapt over the bike, using its claws for leverage, and landed on my chest. I struggled for air, taking in big gulping breaths, eyes wide behind my goggles. There were a couple guns on the ship, but I had no idea how to use them, even if I could have reached them. I lifted my hands to shove it away, but the chittering, gnashing chorus rose again right outside the ship.
Another little bleat came out of the narl's mouth, its bulging blue eyes frantic. It flung itself flat onto my chest, clinging. Trembling.
It was terrified of the other narls, not hungry for a magical snack.
Cautiously, I put my arms around it, and for a few minutes, we lay there, breathing, listening to the other narls chant and scrape their claws on poor Lemon. I had no idea what I was going to do with the little narl; it had to be a young one.
"No eating me, okay?" I blinked down at the narl, and it blinked back up at me, its fur still covered in a dusting of sand. We were both filthy, and I was hungry. It didn't sound like I'd be getting a lot of sleep either. I sat up, narl still clutched to my chest, and lifted up my goggles.
The narl squirmed and gnashed its teeth in its wide mouth, eyes riveted to mine.
I put the goggles back down over my eyes, and the narl settled into my lap. It reached up with its thick, multi-jointed fingers and tapped at my cheeks with blunt claws.
I got up, narl latched to my jacket, and peered into the side mirror of my bike. Like I'd guessed, the goggles magnified my blue eyes somewhat. The little critter thought I was a bigger narl than the ones chasing after it.
There had to be some kind of documentation of Marutuk's wildlife. The planet had been known to explorers for plenty of decades before it had turned into a criminal oasis. I sat down in front of my vidscreen and called home.
"Hey, son! Everything all right?" My dad looked me over with obvious concern. I was sure I looked like I'd lost a fight. But it was nice to see him sitting in his study, shelves of analog books behind him.
"Sort of!" I couldn't lie to him; he'd instantly know.
"You haven't made it to Eternum yet, huh? I've been worried about you ever since you set out in that secondhand piece of junk."
"Oh c'mon, Dad, Lemon's sturdy. You know I don't do shoddy work. But it's not good to draw attention to fancy looking jetships. I haven't forgot Mom's warnings about 'unsavory rogues;' don't worry." I grinned and ignored my growling stomach.
"Well, she'll be glad to hear that. I'll tell her when she's home from work." He eyed the fur ball on my lap as it shifted and turned its head toward the new voice. "What've you got there? A pet?"
"Uh, I'm not sure exactly. The locals call them narls. This one was being chased by bigger ones, and it seems to think I'm parent material."
Dad laughed and shook his head. "I hope for its sake you're not planning to keep it."

Recommended author: Stephen Sweeney
Born in Brighton, UK in 1977 to Terry and Emma Sweeney, Stephen Sweeney lives in London, where he works in electronics. He is also an ambitious independent science fiction author, which is the main thing we at ClubOfINFO always want to talk about. Among his published titles are such exciting works as The Battle for the Solar System, perhaps his most notable novel series.
The background of an author is key to your entitlement as a reader to rely on them as a source of quality fiction. That's one area where Sweeney is surely not weak. He studied Environmental Biology at Oxford Brookes University, giving him a unique vantage point from which to create his compelling worlds of science fiction.
While Sweeney does admire the leading giants of British fiction such as J. K. Rowling, Stephen King is one of Sweeney's most important influences. He jokes that he "doesn't read too much King any more since he's too scared of finding an old decaying dead woman lying in his bathtub, grinning at him."
You can find Sweeney's works listed at Amazon. Also follow his Twitter feed or visit his personal website.
ClubOfINFO is always looking to raise the profiles of independent science fiction writers, because we view the exploration of science and technology through fiction as a key avatar of human imagination and progress. If you have anyone in mind, or you'd like to get favorable coverage of your own works here, contact us to get a page at ClubOfINFO!

'Fat over lean' refers to the principle of applying 'fat' oil paint, which has a higher oil to pigment ratio, over 'lean' oil paint, which has a lower oil to pigment ratio, in order to ensure a stable paint film. The idea is to prevent upper layers of oil paint from drying faster than lower layers, which can lead to an oil painting cracking.
Oil paint straight out of the tube is considered 'fat'. Adding more oil, such as linseed oil, will make it even 'fatter', further increasing the drying time. Even when it feels dry to the touch, it may still be drying under the surface.

How to Install Vinyl Siding around a Garage Door
If you want to install vinyl siding around a garage door, you may need to match it with the outer wall color or design. This is a better way of giving your garage wall a new look without having to spend a lot of money on new materials and installation cost. To install vinyl siding around your garage door, here are some easy steps for you.
Step 1 – Get the Area Ready
Wear the necessary personal protective equipment,such as hand gloves and safety goggles. Get the materials and tools ready. Clear the surroundings from unnecessary items or furniture. Release the garage door and let it settle to the ground. Unplug the automatic opener to keep the door from opening accidentally. Strip the walls from any remains of debris or from the previous wall siding.
Step 2 – Wall Preparation
Cover the wall with the building sheathing. Sheathing should smoothen across and cover the wall around the garage door completely to prevent moisture from building up. Install the 1 inch x 3 inches wood spacer on top of the garage door jamb and the exterior sheathing. Fasten the decorative trim over the spacer, allowing a ¾ inch slot where the sidings will be secured in place. Get the precise location of the starter course to start at the lowest part of the bottom portion of the wall. Consider that the vinyl panel should rest on top of the door jamb during installation, so the starter strip must also serve as a guide. Use the water level and mark the exact position at the other side. Use chalk line to get a straight level across the measured points. Use a ¼ inch starter strip that follows the straight line to allow an overhang. Allow a ¼ inch gap between starter strips to allow for expansion. Leave corner posts outside. Allow a 1 inch gap from the soffit and the bottom as well. Do the same for the inside corners, this time using the J-channels.
Step 3 – Installation
Take note that the nailing of the siding must not be too tight. Start at the bottom end where you can allow the laps to show. Take note that a vinyl panel should rest on top of the garage door. Make sure that the vinyl panels are inserted into the ¾ inch slot, but the panel end should not fit the whole stretch to allow for movement. Continue the installation of the vinyl panels upwards until you reach near the soffit, where installing a utility trim up an F-channel to receive the final run of the siding ends the whole stretch. Remember to allow the siding an overlap of 1 ¼ inches. Use snap lock tool for the last panel to lock into place.

In case you're one of the eight people who haven't seen Disney's latest cash cow, Frozen, be warned that this post contains spoilers.
Yeah, yeah, I know, it's another post about Frozen, but hear me out. I want to talk about an angle that I don't think has gotten enough attention in the film: its portrayal of extroversion and introversion.
There have been some thought-provoking articles written on this topic, praising the film's accurate depiction of introverts through Elsa and extroverts through Anna. Anna loves people, sings an entire song about open doors being wonderful, and clearly draws her energy from crowds. Elsa doesn't seem to need that people-energy in the same way, and her happiest moment arises when she can just be alone and be herself. (And now you have "Let It Go" stuck in your head. You're welcome.)
While I agree that it's nice to see an introverted character who's not portrayed as psychotic, depressed, or antisocial, there was one moment in the film that stuck in my craw.
It comes at the very end. Elsa has returned to Arendelle and fixed the "everybody's going to freeze to death" problem, and she's found acceptance from her people. Aww, isn't that sweet? Then Anna says something about how nice it is to have the castle gates open so everybody can come in and hang out with them.
And then Elsa says, "We are never closing them again."
Wait, what? No. That's the worst idea in the world. A never-ending house party sounds like my idea of hell – guests going through every room, moving all your stuff, wanting to talk to you because you're the freaking queen of the country and everybody's going to have some input on how you should do your job…what was Elsa thinking when she said that?
She wasn't thinking like an introvert, that's for sure. I doubt Disney intended this, but the ending of Frozen implies that Elsa has learned the enlightened ways of extroversion, and she's going to be a happy, social, normal person like her sister from now on.
I was rooting for her to stay in that awesome, private ice palace in the mountains. She seemed so happy there. Yes, it's wonderful that the rest of the people accept her and her powers now, but can't she at least keep the icy fortress as a vacation home? What's she supposed to do when her excitement about finding herself wears off and she feels like closing the castle gates again for a little while?
I think that decision would play out something like this: Elsa decides to close the gates. Anna protests, because she likes the never-ending party and the visitors wandering around and the countless conversations and making small talk with everybody and just how many times can you comment on the weather and…
Sorry, I had to go hyperventilate into a bag for a second. I'm okay now.
Anyway, I imagine Anna disagrees and wants to keep the gates open. Elsa, being in charge, overrules her and takes a week off to stay inside by herself. Anna accuses Elsa of retreating back into her unhealthy habits from before. Elsa feels hurt, but then she starts to question her own feelings. Is her sister right? Is it normal to want to shut out the world? Is this the first step on a slippery slope back to hermit town? Maybe she should just suck it up and put on a happy face and try to be sociable, like a normal person.
If you're an introvert, you've probably gone through this at some point. I was fortunate enough to be raised by parents who respected introversion and let me have my space, but many people aren't so lucky. They're constantly told that they should spend more time with friends and get to know more people and go explore interesting places in their area. They feel guilty whenever they turn down a party invitation or don't go to a once-in-a-lifetime event. Unless they learn to accept their introversion and everything that comes with it, they might spend their entire lives under a cloud of pressure to be socially "normal."
It doesn't surprise me that Frozen implies extroversion is healthier than introversion. That's a common view in the real world. Does it ruin the movie? Of course not. Frozen is an excellent film, and I loved watching it. I'm going to buy it for my future kids so they can enjoy the story and sing all of the songs until my ears bleed.
But I do think it deserves mention that, while it shows a solid understanding of introverts, it still succumbed to the pressure to provide a "happy" ending, where everybody learns to be outgoing. That's not the reality of the introverted world, and for those of you who felt as bothered by it as I did, it's okay.
It's okay if you thought keeping the castle gates open was a terrible idea. It's okay if you'd rather go live in the isolated ice palace. It's okay if you would rather read than go to a party. It's okay, and you are okay, and don't you let social pressure tell you otherwise.
As far as that line that stirred up all these emotions – it's not that big a deal. I guess I'll just have to…let it go.

NBA -- Pelicans tighten grip on playoffs berth
By Homer D. Sayson
08 Apr 2018
CHICAGO -- With their playoffs lives on the line on Saturday night, the New Orleans Pelicans put on a show and out-slugged the defending champions Golden State Warriors in a spellbinding 126-120 victory at the Oracle Arena.
In a match-up highlighting two of the game's best performers, Anthony Davis of the Pelicans finished with 34 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks while Kevin Durant led the Warriors with 41 points in a losing effort.
The huge win, their third in a row, improved New Orleans' slate to 46-34, putting them in position to annex a playoffs berth with two to go in the 82-game schedule. The Warriors, meanwhile, dropped to 57-23 but remain a lock as the No.2 seed in the talent-rich Western Conference.
Despite his MVP-like performance, Davis, more notoriously known as 'The Brow' needed a lot of help.
Nikola Mirotic fired six triples to finish with 28 points. Jrue Holiday added 25 points and six dimes while veteran Rajon Rondo chipped in 12 points and 17 rebounds. E'Taun Moore drilled 15 points, including an 18-footer that gave the Pelicans a 123-119 cushion in the final 23.5 seconds of play.

Did you ever do those hand clapping games on the playground when you were little? Like, "Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, etc...." Or the other ones where you slapped hands backwards and forwards while chanting and counting to astronomically high numbers....? (those were the ones the really smart girls did....) These types of games are so valuable on a number of levels:
- They are fun games that make practicing counting (in whatever sequence it involves) a more challenging and motivating activity.
- They are spoken/sung in rhyme and rhythm, enhancing and strengthening the child's innate rhythm.
- They involve hand movements which increase muscle-control and agility.
- They are a meaningful and enjoyable activity between friends, bringing smiles and satisfaction.
First we got thinking musically by singing and clapping one of our favorite songs, "A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea"
Here are the words and for the melody, go Here!
A Sailor Went to Sea
A Sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see,
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.
Hand motions:
You can be as creative as you'd like,
We always clap each other's hands on each "sea, sea, sea" (or "see, see, see").
We also sit up tall on "sailor"
We put our hand to our forehead to 'peer out' on "to see what he could..."
Put our hands up to the side in an "Oh well" manner on "but all that he could..."
Put our hands to the floor on "was the bottom of the..."
We get incrementally faster and faster - it's fun. :-)
Then we moved to a clapping and counting chant.
First have child choose a number.
Then, in rhythm, chant and clap:
"Let's see how high we can count,
watch my count to _____"
Then, with either you or another child, clap hands together in rhythm (as much as possible anyway, depending on your child's age/ability), counting up to that number.
J chose numbers that didn't take us quite as long, like 8 and 12.
K wanted more exciting ones in his little 4 yr. old mind, like "32" and "21 and 11 and 16"
"So, you want 48?"
You can also have them alternate clapping each others' hands with the front and back of their hands. Keeps it a little more exciting... :-)
This is uber simple and you can adapt it to practice any type of number recitation, but it was great practice and we had fun with it; hope you can too!

Optimization of cryosurgical procedures on deep tissues such as liver requires an increased understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of ice formation and water transport in tissues during freezing. In order to further investigate and quantify the amount of water transport that occurs during freezing in tissue, this study reports quantitative and dynamic experimental data and theoretical modeling of rat liver freezing under controlled conditions. The rat liver was frozen by one of four methods of cooling: Method 1—ultrarapid "slam cooling" (≥ 1000° C/min) for control samples; Method 2—equilibrium freezing achieved by equilibrating tissue at different subzero temperatures (−4, −6, −8, −10°C); Method 3°-two-step freezing, which involves cooling at 5°C/min. to −4, −6, −8, −10 or −20°C followed immediately by slam cooling; or Method 4—constant and controlled freezing at rates from 5–400°C/min. on a directional cooling stage. After freezing, the tissue was freeze substituted, embedded in resin, sectioned, stained, and imaged under a light microscope fitted with a digitizing system. Image analysis techniques were then used to determine the relative cellular to extracellular volumes of the tissue. The osmotically inactive cell volume was determined to be 0.35 by constructing a Boyle van't Hoff plot using cellular volumes from Method 2. The dynamic volume of the rat liver cells during cooling was obtained using cellular volumes from Method 3 (two-step freezing at 5°C/min). A nonlinear regression fit of a Krogh cylinder model to the volumetric shrinkage data in Method 3 yielded the biophysical parameters of water transport in rat liver tissue of: Lpg = 3.1 X 10−13 m3 /Ns (1.86 μ/min-atm) and ELP = 290 kJ/mole (69.3 kcal/mole), with chi-squared variance of 0.00124. These parameters were then incorporated into the Krogh cylinder model and used to simulate water transport in rat liver tissue during constant cooling at rates between 5–100°C/min. Reasonable agreement between these simulations and the constant cooling rate freezing experiments in Method 4 were obtained. The model predicts that the water transport ceases at a relatively high subzero temperature (−10°C), such that the amount of intracellular ice forming in the tissue cells rises from almost none (=extensive dehydration and vascular expansion) at ≤5°C/min to over 88 percent of the original cellular water at ≥50°C/min. The theoretical simulations based on these experimental methods may be of use in visualizing and predicting freezing response, and thus can assist in the planning and implementing of cryosurgical protocols.

Well, happy Friday, design rompers! Another week has flown by and here we are again. I have written about my love of design books (obsession is more like it) in an earlier post and from time to time like to share some of my favorites with you. Yesterday, I came home with a new book and I was so fascinated by it that I actually woke up at about 2:30am and started reading it again! I guess you could say that I took a nap in between chapters between 11pm and 2:30am. Needless to say, I will be a wreck today. But I will also be inspired!
The book is called Parish-Hadley Tree of Life -An Intimate History of the Legendary Design Firm. Not only are the photos of the extraordinary work done by this firm over the years gorgeous, but the stories written in the first person by the designers who worked there are fascinating. An astonishing number of top designers began their careers under the tutelage of the late Mrs Sister Parrish and Albert Hadley: Bunny Williams, William Hodgins, David Easton, Hariette Himes Gomez, Thom Filicia, Michael Whaley, David Kleinberg, Joanne de Guardiola, just to name a few. There has never been another firm that was such fertile ground for interior design and there probably never again will be. The book is a glimpse into what made it so special. Even if you aren't into design, its a great case study on how to build a really successful team.
In addition to learning about how all of these amazing designers got their start and what it was like to work for Mrs Parish and Albert Hadley, so many of the rooms that were done by this firm are still fabulous today. They are timeless and tasteful. Here is a taste of what you will find between the covers of this book:
I can't wait to finish reading it tonight. It's that good.
Have a great weekend!

Water Softeners
Our water softeners are brilliantly designed to work. Period.
A Kinetico Water Softener will provide your family with abundant clean, soft water on demand. From multitank systems powered by the energy of moving water to a more traditional approach, Kinetico covers all your options. Your local Kinetico water professional will work with you to choose the water softener that's right for you.
How a water softener works
Once the resin bed fills up with hardness ions, it must be cleaned. Salt is typically used in the regeneration (cleaning) process and restores the resin to a "clean" state so the ion exchange process can begin again.
Signature Series Water Softeners (Double Tank) Model K735
Kinetico Signature Series water softeners are classically Kinetico: dependable, efficient, non-electric and rugged. Powered completely by water, this softener solves everyday water problems reliably and efficiently without the hassle of timers or computers. Twin tanks take turns regenerating so your home is never without soft water. Systems clean themselves with soft water too, so your softener will perform better and last longer.

Kinetico Essential Series water softeners are a great fit for many households. Even with their small footprint, they have a lot to offer. These non-electric, demand based systems regenerate only when needed so you'll save money and salt without having to tinker with timers or electrical components. And regeneration only takes a few minutes: a fraction of the time it takes other softeners to come back in service. Your whole household will enjoy the soft, fresh water a Kinetico Essential water softener provides.

As the leaves begin to change colour and the days become shorter you may already be experiencing some trepidation about winter. Snow in particular whilst beloved of children and skiers can cause serious disruption and inconvenience, especially for employers and employees.
Employees have an obligation to attend at their workplaces unless they are sick or on authorised leave. This means employers can treat absences as unauthorised if the employee fails to attend because of the weather unless their contract of employment specifically provides otherwise. Employers are not obliged to pay employees for unauthorised absences. However, this rule becomes somewhat blurred if the employee cannot safely attend work. Employers must consider the safety of their employees, and employees should not feel under pressure to travel if it is unsafe to do so. Official weather warnings should be observed where relevant.
Employers cannot force employees to use their holiday entitlement for the unauthorised absence although this may be negotiated between the employee and the employer. Employers should consider discussing the absence with the employee and consider allowing the employee to make up the time or permitting the employee to work from home if this is possible.
Employers should consider the needs of employees with children especially if the schools are closed. Legislation protects parents who require tomake arrangements for unexpected disruption to childcare, so employers must accommodate this. Employees should be aware that this time off will most likely be unpaid, unless the employer agrees otherwise.
If the employer decides that it is not safe to open the office at all because of the weather the employees must be still be paid unless there is a specific clause in the contracts of employment which permits the employer to not pay the employees in these circumstances.
So before the weather turns frightful consider the following to see you through until spring:
- Consider devising a bad weather policy for your business to make your employees aware of their rights and responsibilities.
- Consider whether flexible working hours or working from home might be a possibility for your employees should a spell of prolonged bad weather arise.
- Be prepared for bad weather by expecting journey times to be longer and considering other methods of transport.
- Consider discussing flexible working hours or working from home with your employer prior to the bad weather beginning so that arrangements can be put in place in advance.
For further Employment Law advice please contact a member of the Court Department on 01224 581581.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of "To Kill A Mockingbird" the Monroeville/Monroe County Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring "The Birdhouse Project", symbolizing the theme "Come Home To Monroeville/Monroe County in 2010". The goal of the project is to create a "birdhouse trail" of places to visit, and to showcase the talent of residents of Monroe County who have designed, constructed and hand-painted the birdhouses which are placed throughout the county. The birdhouses are constructed of wood using materials purchased in Monroe County. All birdhouses have been hand painted by various artists, and are sponsored by businesses, schools and civic organizations. The project is ongoing. The Chamber of Commerce met its initial goal to place twenty-five birdhouses throughout the community in time for the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the publication of "To Kill A Mockingbird" that was July 8-11. The Birdhouses have been photographed by many news organizations, and were featured prominently in articles in The Birmingham News, The Toronto Star, Business Alabama, Southern Living, and in national newscasts on CBS, ABC, and the BBC. They have also been photographed by Carol M. Highsmith for her George F. Landegger 21st Century Alabama Collection for The Library of Congress.

can anyone help me to understand the difference between Google optimization and website optimization??
Try a google search... Its an amazing bit of kit that gives you answers to simple queries like yours.
root Great thing...! but Google cannot contribute and discuss, You can only get information there, You can not communicate with people like the way you replied to me and I am reflecting back to you, Yup.....! It happens...Thank you.
Could be an "apples and oranges" type of thing, depending on what is meant by "website optimization". For instance, it could mean optimization of load time and response times for actions within the page, in which case it has nothing to do with the SEO sort of things I would assume is meant by "Google optimization". (Well, perhaps if Google down-rates pages with slow response times? 😉 )
We can easily create a website With the help of this post, And we can also optimize the website which is very important to me. I using the Apple TV and In this, I know more information about the website which is very helpful for us.
Google Optimize is an online split-testing tool from Google that plugs into your website and enables you to experiment with different ways of delivering your content. It facilitates three types of testing – A/B testing, multivariate testing, and redirect tests.
Website optimization, is the process of making changes to your website so that it will appear higher in search engine results pages (SERPS). It is all about improving your user experience so that people will be more likely to convert on your website.
VITSUSA Thanks for replying, Can you suggest me tools for Google optimization??
Impressive, well said in a simple way. Hope it will clear the concept of Google optimization and website optimization.
There is huge difference between both type of optimization. When we are doing optimization of website accordingly to Google guidelines.
Google Optimization Tools (OR-Tools) is a fast and portable software suite for solving combinatorial optimization problems.
Website optimization is an art that tests and improves websites to better engage and convert their visitors, by combining website testing, analytics, usability, and online marketing best practices (Source: Rich Page, from 'Website Optimization: An Hour a Day').

During childbirth, 90% of women suffer from a perineal tear during labour. The perineum is the area separating the vagina and the anus, and normally the midwife or obstetrician will explain the different types of tears you could receive, or you could see them in your medical records down as 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th degree tears (the higher the number, the more severe the tear).
As the 3rd and 4th degree tears are more severe, they should be repaired soon afterwards, preferably within the first 24 hours and no longer than 2 weeks. If the procedure known as 'Primary Repair' isn't done within this time frame, then it will not heal and the doctor may offer you Secondary Repair, of which the success rate is much lower than Primary and can result in incontrollable flatulence and long-term incontinence of faeces.
Therefore, if there's been a tear whilst in childbirth, it needs to be recorded as soon as possible by the medical staff to ensure that Primary Repair is a success.
Do You Have a Claim against the Hospital?
After giving birth, the midwife or doctor will examine you to check if you have any tears. If you do and they're 3rd or 4th degree, they should examine you in theater. If torn, the tears will be repaired under anaesthetic to ensure that the stitching of the damaged muscle and skin is done correctly. However, you may have a claim if:
1. The tear was recognised but the Primary Repair surgery was done poorly. If the repair is done poorly, it can lead to a fistula or urinal/faecal incontinence. to ensure that the tear is maintained correctly, you should be given information on how to look after it correctly, but if you report any issues about a potential infection or symptom and nothing was done, then you can claim for medical negligence because this problem could have been avoided with proper care.
2. A 3rd degree tear is diagnosed as a lower graded tear such as 1st or 2nd degree. As a result of been misdiagnosed, the tear will not be repaired correctly and therefore it will cause a serious amount of discomfort for the woman. This normally means the woman has to seek further medical aid, which then normally results in the missed tear been discovered. This issue may not arise straight away, it could be days, months and even years because the concerns could be dismissed by numerous clinicians, or the woman thinks that these discomforts are normal for childbirth. Some of the symptoms include:
- Increasing levels of pain
- Difficulty going to the toilet
- Difficulty having sex
- Vaginal discharge/bleeding
- Incontinence
- Leaking faeces or uncontrollable wind
3. The examination that should take place wasn't done thoroughly enough following the birth, so the tear could be missed by the midwife or doctor, which makes you miss the opportunity for Primary Repair and the Secondary Repair has left you with long-term issues. Some mothers have reported that these issues have left them with a real fear of future pregnancy or birth and psychological damage as well. It's important to ensure that you seek advice if you're concerned about the treatment you received as it can affect your day-to-day life.

Benefits Of Installing A StrikeMaster II
StrikeMaster II
Your home should be your sanctuary and the place in the world that you feel the safest. Some people, however, don't have this luxury, especially if they have had an intruder kick in their front door in the past. Even if you haven't had this stressful and scary experience, you can still take steps to prevent it from happening. The StrikeMaster II is one of the most popular doors on the market to help prevent kick-ins and here are just some of the benefits you will notice, in addition to the obvious of stopping potential intruders.
Fits Existing Frame
One of the first things you will notice about the StrikeMaster II is that you don't have to replace your existing door frame in order to install it. That is because the door was designed in a way that allows it to fit almost every frame. As long as your door frame is within the standard size range, no adjustments will be needed, saving you a great deal of time and money.
Matches Your Frame And Home
The door itself comes in white and this color was chosen as it matches most door frames and homes, or at least complements them. If for some reason, that neutral color doesn't work with your décor or you simply feel it stands out too much, it is also incredibly easy to paint the door. You would do so just like with any other front door.
Quick Installation
Even the process of installing the StrikeMaster II is incredibly straightforward. There are instructions that most people can follow as long as they have some basic tools and a general knowledge of doors. However, to make sure you have the door properly installed, consider hiring an expert. They will be able to install the door incredibly quickly so you won't have to pay too much for this service. Additionally, having a professional install the door ensures that it is done correctly, providing you the promised security.
Although it is true that it might be cheaper to install a standard front door in your home, the StrikeMaster II isn't actually much more expensive. In fact, it is more affordable than many customized heavy duty doors. When you compare any additional expense to the amount of money you could lose from an intruder kicking in your door (both from the damage to the door and robbery), it is more than worth the low price.

Microsoft today lifted the veil on its upcoming Windows 10 operating system, offering a thorough preview of what consumers can expect when the software is released later this year across desktops, smartphones, and tablets. After a small glimpse back in September revealed numerous changes — a modernized Start Menu, better multitasking with Task View, and UI improvements among them — Microsoft used today's press conference to focus on what Windows 10 will mean for its millions of everyday users. Not everything shown today will be made available to Windows 10 testers immediately. Joe Belfiore specified that some will roll out over a course of "three, four, or five months."
To start off, Microsoft has already leveraged early tester feedback to improve Windows 10. If you're familiar with and prefer the Windows 8.1 experience, you'll be able to take the Start Screen full screen instead of the Windows 7-style start menu we saw in September. Microsoft has also added an Action Center that provides instant access to common tasks like enabling or shutting off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other settings. Notifications are synced across devices, so if you dismiss something on a Windows 10 smartphone or tablet, it won't stubbornly pop up again when you return to your PC. Speaking of settings, Microsoft has refreshed the appearance of settings menus everywhere with a much cleaner, easy-to-understand design.
After getting started on smartphones, Microsoft's personal assistant is coming to the desktop. Cortana will bring her powerful search and reminder capabilities to Windows 10. We got a rough, unofficial demonstration of what this would look like back in September, but today the company showed off a much more polished vision. Microsoft says "you'll see Cortana as never before" in Windows 10, as it will now serve as the primary search tool for a massive audience of Windows users. But it gets way more personal than that; Joe Belfiore essentially carried on a full conversation with Cortana on stage. Cortana gave a Super Bowl prediction — which seemed just a bit biased in favor of Seattle's own Seahawks. Unlike the sometimes robotic responses you'll hear from Siri and Google Now, Cortana speaks with a natural, conversational flow.
Microsoft says Cortana has gotten much smarter thanks to all the learning she's taken from Windows Phone users. Belfiore asked how much college tuition at a specific university would cost, and Cortana answered without pause. The personal assistant also joked with Belfiore as he went along, and has apparently learned more about the new platform she'll be working on. "We wanted to educate Cortana about PC sorts of things," Belfiore said. Ask Cortana to show you slides from a PowerPoint presentation, and she'll bring them up immediately. But users remain in full control over what Cortana knows and has access to thanks to her Notebook. "It really is the world's most personal digital assistant, and now she's going to be available to millions and millions of more people," Belfiore said.
Design and interface improvements
Microsoft is paying attention to the details in Windows 10. During today's demonstrations, refreshed and more modern icons could be seen at every turn. The chrome around apps has been flattened, and everything feels more cohesive and consistent compared to the early Windows 10 software that beta testers have been using over the last few months.
Belfiore then launched into the first demonstration of Windows 10 on phones, showing off a new Messages app with Skype integration, a fully-adjustable keyboard, and other improvements.
New universal apps for PC
Microsoft has been working on all-new, universal apps for Windows 10. First is Outlook, and the company has built in Word's engine, which provides comprehensive styling and extra formatting capabilities no matter what device you're checking email from. On PC, it looks similar, but more polished than what's there today. Desktop users can also personalize Outlook with a background image of their choice.
But other software was shown off as well: Microsoft has a new, Metro-style (and very sleek) Calendar app that's consistent across PCs, tablets, and phones. And Photos will now weed out duplicates and "clutter" that can result when you're syncing photos from every device you own. Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage has gotten much smarter about displaying a "simple view of all your photos," Belfiore said. Like Google+, the new Photos app will automatically enhance and touch up photos, removing blemishes like red eye and making sure you end up with the right exposure. Windows 10 users can expect new apps for People, Maps, and Music, as well.
Project Spartan
Microsoft has indeed been working hard on a new web browser, though we didn't get an official name today. It's still being referred to as Project Spartan, and Belfiore's demonstration lined up perfectly with The Verge's earlier report. He showcased the browser's broad support for touch and annotation. Highlighting something on a page is as simple as circling your finger around it — no Surface pen or stylus required. Using a mouse also works fine; you can click on any section of a website to type out a comment for sharing with co-workers or friends.
A new Reading Mode puts articles in a layout that's easier on your eyes, and Microsoft is also introducing a Reading List that syncs content across phones, tablets, and PCs for later; Apple has had similar functionality in iOS and OS X for some time now. But what Apple doesn't have in its browser is Cortana. Microsoft's personal assistant is everywhere in Project Spartan. She'll tell you the weather in the URL bar. Visit a restaurant's website, and Cortana will provide a map, menu information, and contact details should you decide to head there for dinner.
Gaming is getting a massive push in Windows 10. A new Xbox app enables Game DVRfor sharing clips of most PC games with your friends — and they're sent across Xbox Live, so Xbox One owners can watch as well. You'll see a universal friends list with Xbox gamers on console and Windows, full messaging support, and an activity feed that shows you what everyone's doing.
But the plans get even more ambitious than that. Cross-play between Windows 10 and Xbox One gamers will become a reality. And if PC games aren't your thing, you'll be able to seamlessly stream Xbox One games to Windows 10 PCs and tablets on your Wi-Fi network "later this year." Microsoft showed off Forza Horizon 2 running on a Surface Pro 3.
