The UTEP Miners are trying to get things turned around and at least get back to a bowl game after not getting there four of the last five years. They have a pretty good class of returning players for the 2016 season, but they may have to contend with one of their star players being out for a few games.
In early February, star running back Aaron Jones was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. He was arrested after a traffic stop in El Paso by a sheriff's deputy just off campus.
The arrest was just recently made public and it didn't take long for the Miners to make a statement. Head coach Sean Kugler said that he and the rest of his staff would "evaluate the situation."
"We are waiting for the process to fully develop and once I have all the facts, I will evaluate the situation," Kugler told KVIA. "There are consequences to poor decisions and Aaron (Jones) will be held to the same standard as every other student-athlete in our program."
Jones has been one of the most consistent running backs in the country and many fans probably hadn't heard of him. He led the Miners in rushing in both 2013 and 2014 with 811 and 1,321 yards respectively.
He suffered a season-ending ankle injury just two games into the 2015 season as he was looking to have another great year. His absence was felt greatly by the Miners as he was still third on the team in rushing with 209 yards, not far behind Jeremiah Laufasa's 381 yards and LaQuintus Dowell's 276.
Jones will undoubtedly be punished for his arrest, but let's hope his time with the Miners has not come to an abrupt halt.

With big plans for the future we're all about making our money go that little bit further and although the economy is getting better this does mean our dreams of a bigger house are getting further away as the house prices increase so we need to save more and spend less to allow our dreams to happen. Here's 5 simple ways that we're making our money go further at the moment.
Buying Bulk
This is driving me mad at the same time as making me happy I've started to buy items that we regularly use in large quantities or in bulk when on special offer. Things that store for long lengths of time like cans, toilet paper, coffee, tea bags. Instead of looking at just the price I look at the price per kg, or l, or unit that is displayed on the price ticket and compare that it means that we get the better price on food items and necessities whilst they are at the best value.
Mending clothes
I have one child that within hours of putting on her clothes the knees have got holes in them. With tights, jeans, trousers instead of throwing away I'm mending them. Her jeans now have patches – I'm using a pair of my old jeans that are way to big for me and cutting patches to cover them, with trousers I have some felt and fabrics that I use that to patch up the clothes. Tights – as most of her tights are wool I've been darning and then covering with a pretty embellishment.
Cook from Scratch
I know when I started to cook the majority of our food from scratch there was a few weeks of slightly more expensive food bills as I stocked up on flour, spices, herbs etc… but after that it's working out cheaper. I do things like buy a big box of mince meat (see about the buying in bulk above) and then make 3 or 4 meals from it over the week or bulk cook a meat sauce and freeze into smaller portions so we have multiple easy to cook meals.
Grow our own
Over the summer the lettuce and tomatoes that we ate almost daily came from our own garden. In pots on our deck – now we have a large garden but most of it is jungle at the moment so we were only able to grow in post however, as we ate salads most day over the summer this was ideal and we still have loads of seeds to use next year as well.
Make Summer 2019 AWESOME!
Kids not old enough for summer camp?
Hold your own at home!
Make this summer with your kids awesome!
Homes need maintenance and they need redecorating especially if like us you are looking to sell in the future. You can get someone in to do it but that is expensive because skilled labour costs. Use the Internet – you tube has some fabulous DIY tutorials for just about anything you want to know how to do and ask your friends and family. The best source of how to I have is my father – in a few weeks time he's going to teach me how to replace floor boards in my youngest's bedroom. That way if I need to do it again I will know exactly how to do it and because he's teaching me and not doing it himself I'll be able to teach others.

Lucigala Jewellery (Hong Kong) Ltd is shining light on its Lumiere Collection of diamond jewellery. The collection boasts intricate designs that link diamonds of different sizes, using 3D printing technology to hold the stones together tightly and emit a dazzling sparkle. The jewellery comes in 14-karat and 18-karat gold, and costs from US$575 to US$2,350 per piece.
"Lumiere is an illuminating collection that melds gleaming diamonds and ethereal designs. The diamonds are captured in the jewellery with inward spirals to produce the most enchanting glitter," said the company.
Lumiere is but one of the many jewellery collections Lucigala is enticing buyers with. It aims to draw in retailers that are interested in enhancing their offerings with additional jewellery brands.
"We would like to raise awareness of our brand, reach more potential customers and expand our market," said the company. "The September Hong Kong Fair forms the world's largest jewellery market and consolidates the city's position as a global procurement centre. It provides us with the perfect platform to showcase our brand and tap different markets."

Look at this picture of a FedEx truck. Have you ever noticed the little arrow between the "Ex"? For me, once I noticed that, I couldn't stop seeing it again. Every time I see the logo I notice the arrow now.
The same thing happens to me with photography and retouching. Once I notice or learn something new, I can't stop looking for the issue in every photo I see. When I learned how to use the Spot Healing Brush tool, I kept visualizing in my head how I could fix people's skin or objects I saw in public.
When I started doing beauty work and paying closer attention to makeup, I started actually paying attention to the details of it and not just that it was there. I noticed if it was applied correctly, if there were areas foundation wasn't blended properly, just normal things that I normally wouldn't have seen. Basically once I started noticing these things, I couldn't stop seeing them in my work, which has only made me more attentive as a photographer and retoucher. So what I wanted to do was break down some of the little things that you might not notice already, but after reading this you'll see everywhere and want to start fixing!
Uneven Skin
Uneven skin isn't the biggest deal, especially for regular portraits. It's almost completely unnoticeable at 3/4's length. But for beauty work, it's very necessary to fix. Skin isn't perfect... For anybody. When it comes to beauty photography where you see every little detail on someone's face, uneven skin becomes much more noticeable and more problematic.
How to fix: The technique is called Localized Dodge & Burn. You use the same dodge and burn technique that you use to shape and contour the face, but on a smaller scale to even out the bright and dark spots on the face. Here's a great video that explains different techniques you can use.
Stray Hairs Inside The Hair Line
I'm not talking about the stray hairs you see above the person's head. Those are pretty noticeable. I'm talking about the ones that are still in the hairline that curl around and don't follow the natural hair flow. When you're looking for a super clean portrait, taking these out take some time, but they really make all the difference.
How to fix: This is just a mixture of spot-healing brush and clone stamp. Once you practice and go through, you'll notice when to fix each and where each one works better. Here's another video for you!
Broken Nail Polish
I notice a lot of people leave in the cracked fingernails from old nail polish. This is something that usually goes unnoticed because it's such a small detail. Usually the nails are a very small piece of a photo and because of it people don't see it or they don't think it's a big deal. The only problem is if it's an issue/flaw, someone will see it.
How to fix: Clone stamp tool
Uneven/Unfinished Eyeliner
This is something makeup artists will notice a lot. When you're shooting beauty and see every single detail it can be an issue because you're looking at an over-sized version of what you would normally see from far away. Eyeliner is so small, but for those who put it on every day or very often, they'll notice proper and poor application. Sometimes one side is more thick, sometimes one eye's liner is longer than the other, but if you start looking at it with more attention to the details you might see the issue and be able to fix it properly.
How to fix: Clone stamp again is the best tool for the job for something like this
Eye Blood Vessels
These are the red lines you see in eyes when you get real close up shot in the eye.
How to fix: I use the Spot Healing Brush (under the "J" hotkey menu) set to Content Aware with a Lighten blending mode. Use a really small brush and just follow the trail of the vessel and you should be able to get it pretty well! There's probably better ways to do it and I can't wait for all your emails telling me I'm doing it wrong.
Being detailed oriented shows how much you care about the final product.
Taking time with the final product to make sure you fix everything just adds to your level of professionalism. I know not everyone likes editing, lots of people say they don't even have time for it. But the editing process is just as important as the final product. The process of editing adds to the final product. So when you edit, you want to make sure you're actually getting everything you can and not just what you think is there. You never know if the subject thinks those eye blood vessels makes them feel like they're high or the uneven eyeliner makes them look lazy. Maybe they can't get over the stray hairs and how bad it makes them look.
Editing even these small things adds just a little bit extra. Just because you may not notice it, doesn't mean someone else might. And those small details can really add up!

JP Morgan re-opens long/short fund for investors
The fund, run by Jon Ingram, Jon Baker and Anis Lahlou-Abid, has achieved a cumulative annualised return of 18.9% since its launch in October 2003.
The philosophy that Ingram says led to the success of the fund is based on targeting on average, fast growing cheap stocks with good news flow, outperforming the slow growing expensive stocks.
"It is a common sense approach," says Ingram.
He agrees with the ideas behind behavioural finance, the study of how humans interact in financial services.

How Health Sharing Works
Take Control of Your Family's Healthcare
Navigating today's complex healthcare environment can be confusing. In considering the options, you're often left wondering:
- How can I compare programs? Liberty HealthShare makes that easy.
- What expenses are shareable? Liberty HealthShare makes that clear.
- Can I keep my doctor? Liberty HealthShare doesn't restrict you to a network.
- How does your medical cost-sharing program work? Liberty HealthShare makes it simple.
A medical cost-sharing program—often called "health sharing"—helps you take back control over your medical care and costs.
How Is a HealthSharing Program Different from Health Insurance?
Unlike health insurance, health sharing puts you in charge of your medical care. You enter into community with like-minded people who share similar health and lifestyle goals and pay a monthly share amount toward the needs of other members.
Your costs are clearly defined and easy to budget for—and, you always know exactly where your money is going. With a medical cost-sharing program, not only can you save money, but you also gain peace of mind.
As a Christian medical cost-sharing program, Liberty HealthShare requires members to sign a statement of beliefs and follow a healthy lifestyle. We support our members and their families in their journey to better health in order to bear one another's burdens and promote the well-being of our community.
How Does Liberty HealthShare's Medical Cost-Sharing Program Work?
At Liberty HealthShare, we're committed to making medical cost-sharing a simple and transparent process. It's easy to join, track your progress, and budget for your healthcare costs.
- Choose your program and complete the application process.
- Make monthly share contributions through your fully secure, easy-to-use online account. See where your money goes so you can encourage the members you're helping that month.
- Go to your preferred doctors, specialists, and medical facilities—with Liberty HealthShare, you are not limited to a particular network.
- Pay for medical care up to your annual unshared amount ($1,000 for single members, $1,750 for a couple, or $2,250 for a family, except for screenings and wellness visits, which are usually eligible). Liberty HealthShare negotiates lower rates for you when you submit bills through the program.
- Submit bills over your unshared amount. With thousands of members nationwide, Liberty HealthShare members support each other's shareable needs—up to $1 million per incident depending on the program you choose.
When it comes to healthcare spending, you have a choice. Liberty HealthShare brings clarity and simplicity to all of our medical cost-sharing programs. You'll find support from our community as you pursue healthy habits and lifestyle choices, and learn how to be a more informed patient and consumer.
Wondering which Liberty HealthShare medical cost-sharing program is right for you? Call us for a free consultation »

Trusts & Estates Valuation Update – The Latest on Cases, Audits and the Environment
If it was not clear already, we are in a period where many estate planners are increasing their focus on matters other than the federal exemptions. Some practitioners are contemplating the balance between minimizing estate and gift tax with minimizing income tax, while simultaneously giving consideration to asset protection, business continuity, and the proper management and transition of investments. To some this is viewed as a paradigm shift, while others have not been so quick to change course or dismiss the techniques that have been tested, refined and used so successfully for many years. The phrase "it depends" comes to mind – that is, it depends on who the client is, the type of assets he/she owns, and the myriad considerations unique to that person's circumstances. The consideration of any estate plan are far too many to list, and the complexities of the tax code at both the federal, state and local level have not subsided and are by no means permanent.

Ground Fault found On PAM Relay Leg
Today I had the pleasure of working on a Saturday. It was a service call to track down and locate a ground fault on a Fire Lite FCPS24 NAC power supply. This ground fault is the reason another company felt it was necessary to disconnect the NAC circuit from the main fire control panel to the NAC circuit power supply. Read about here.
We traced out the ground fault on the negative power wire (constant power used for global HVAC shut down) to the rooftop air conditioning units. Upon a close examination of the unit with the ground fault we found that the 120VAC power leg (black) wire on the PAM-1 relay had been pinched in between the 4 S box and cover.
In this case our fire alarm control panel or FCPS24 NAC power supply was powering up the PAM-1 relays. This mean we connected our constant power to the Red (positive) and White (common) wires on the PAM-1 relay. Therefore the black wire is not used. However, the 120VAC lead (black wire) can still transfer a ground fault through the coil.
Always make sure to cap off the black lead and ensure it is not grounded out when using the PAM-1 relay for HVAC shutdown, elevator recall, door holder, etc.

It is often claimed, by ministers with Armstrongism at the core of their doctrinal expositions, that anti-Armstrongism sites are governed by negative mindsets. Nothing could be further from the truth, and in this article you will learn why this is not so.
When you have left the straight-jacket that Armstrongism IS, you will experience real freedom. God is not condemning people for THINKING for themselves. In fact, the ability to think outside the box was a tradition of the learned. Ask any Jew what the Bible is all about, and he will tell you that the oral law is filled with discussions where various doctrinal positions are freely debated. Noone condemns one another for asking questions. Au contraire, it is actually ENCOURAGED that you DO ask questions.
Thinking you have all the answers IS part of a self-satisfied mindset. Daring to consider even the unthinkable helps us understand what we are reading much better than just digesting things simply because a ministry claims THEY are inspired.
Who is it that CLAIMS inspiration? Is it not the ministers, indeed, who claim that anyone who disagrees is either "confused" or "negative" when in fact focus should have been on actually ANSWERING the subject at hand?
I think you will all agree that thinking for ourselves is the BIGGEST and BEST sign of positive development - especially once you have recovered from a mindset that DIVIDES people as cults always do. The "us" versus "them" mentality is in no way what God intended. He CREATED us. Not for war and disagreements, but for inspiration and mutual helping of one another. This should be the focus of any believer - regardless of whether we always disagree on everything.

text: Yes, I love taking photos on rainy days! Capturing raindrops on windows and umbrellas are a big favorite of mine. There are days when I can find a million things to photograph and days when I spend my time processing them. It's all part of the process. Since I started shooting with mirrorless cameras it's easy for me to always have a camera with me and if the mood strikes, I shoot. No pressure. The worst thing is to leave the house without a camera only to wish that I had one with me! I recently had minor outpatient surgery. So I'm taking it easy for a few weeks and I rescheduled my April workshops. I have 3 workshops scheduled for May! Coney Island, Bushwick and East Harlem. Rainy Day Union Square, 31 March 2017.

It has always existed a monster, a Leviathan, who devours men and swallows them. It throws them in to the abyss and scars their face, their souls and the earth itself. This monster is War. The telling of a conflict is a daring enterprise, illustrating a distant reality, untagling complex dynamics and obscure moritavions. The digital world offers new ways to bridge the uncommunicability distance between war and public awareness.
The Syrian War digital reporting project aims to gain the benefits of technological innovation in order to expound the actual conflict in Syria. Syrian War Project is a web portal, a specially designed web site to bring together information from different sources - data reporting, info charts, interactive map and timeline - in a uniform and compelling way. It is an effort to tell one of the cruelest and most complex fight in our days by mean of storytelling, journalism and digital innovation.
The interactive telling of the conflict is focused on three main dimensions. The three dimensions are represented by a cross scheme structuring the website. Scrolling down the viewer will explore the temporal dimension, the sides of which will deepen more specific thematics.
- Chronological
- Factions and coalitions
- Consequences
Media and expressive modalities
The storytelling project Syrian War takes advantages of text, photos, infographics, embedded videos and maps
Syrian War has started in 2011 and it properly became a civil war in 2012 . In almost five years the consequences are catastrophic: 470,000 casualties (February 2016 SCPR estimate), over 7,600,000 internally displaced (July 2015 UNHCR estimate) and over 4,000,000 refugees (July 2015 UNHCR estimate). The conflict has widened to involve neighboring states and superpowers including USA, UK, Canada, France, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Baharain, Morocco, Australia, Netherlands, Germany, Jordan and UAE on one side, Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Iraq, China, Venezuela, Bielorussia on the other. Into their midst there is a constellation of islamic groups, often in conflict with each other - ISIS, Al-Nusra, Islamic Front, Muhajirin wa-Ansar Alliance, Army of Jihad - and Rojava, also known as Syrian Kurdistan.
Despite the size and importance of the war, it has often been slightly covered by media and poorly understood by public opinion in the western countries. The Committe to Project Journalism reveals in its annual report that Syria still remains the most dangerous country for journalists with 13 reporters killed in 2015. A decrease compared to 31 in 2012, 29 in 2013, 17 in 2014, nevertheless Syria is one of the countries less covered by the media as a consequence. Local journalists have fled as many of their compatriots, meanwhile less and less operators reach the country to cover the war. Information is often second hand and it is not always possible to discern truth and propaganda. The Syrian War Project aims to offer a (partial) solution and present an overview of the conflict.
Benchmarking is a fundamental part for the development of Syrian War Project. Awwwards.com is the awards that recognize the talent and effort of the best web designers, developers and agencies in the world, it provides the best tool for benchmarking in interactive web field. Awwwards.com aims to create a meeting point where web professionals from across the world can come to find inspiration; a space for debate; a place to share knowledge and experience; give and receive constructive and respectful critiques. "Always hungry".
Its mission is to discover, recognize, and promote the talent and effort of web designers, developers, and agencies who create unique digital experiences that are useful, innovative, intuitive, and beautiful.
In the last years there have been developed multiple projects with the intent of telling the Syrian conflict, most inspired by a new digital approach. The oppurtinities offered by the IT and Internet plays a big role in bringing enlightment to this often understimated war. Here some of the most inspiring.

Academics at The Academy
The academic program at The Academy strives for integration of curriculum, an overlap of all developmental areas and allows ample time for children to play. As children play, they master motor development, learn and use language, develop social skills, think creatively and grow in cognitive knowledge. This (un)curriculum is all about supporting child-led play and trusting children as capable and engaged learners. Our goal is growth and mastery in the following domains/subjects: Spiritual, socio-emotional, English language arts, Mathematics, science, history-social science, physical and fine arts.
The Academy offers the A Beka curriculum to our students. This curriculum was developed by Pensacola Christian Academy, one of America's largest and most respected Christian day schools. The A Beka approach to Christian education keeps learning lively, interesting, and memorable. The materials reflect sensible theory that is firmly anchored to practical application. The purpose of this curriculum is to lead young children to Christ and train them in the Bible, Christian character, language and traditional subject matter. It will give our students a solid academic foundation while emphasizing Christian character and patriotism.
In addition to their curriculum, students engage in the following activities as part of their morning routine once a week:
// Chapel
Every Monday morning all students (2 years through Kindergarten) come together in the Church Sanctuary for a morning of Chapel services. During this time, the children will learn the teachings of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The teachings are introduced in story form so it is more understandable to our young friends.
We sing songs and praise the Lord with all of the children and teachers. The teachers continue their worship in the classrooms by providing a set time in their daily lesson plans for "Bible Time".
// Music
Our music teacher is full of energy and gets the children up and moving. They explore sound through singing, moving, listening, and playing instruments. The children perform twice a year for our Christmas program and Mother's Day Tea.
// Library
All Pre-K and Kindergarten classes go to the library for story time and students are able to check out books.
// Computer Education/Technology
Students visit the computer lab, where they learn to effectively use a computer, mouse and headphones. They explore educational games that build upon what they are learning in class.
// Spanish
Children learn basic Spanish such as colors, family, community helpers, body, seasons and holidays. They also read stories and sing songs in Spanish.
// Christian Education
Our school incorporates recognition of our students' unique attributes, physical wellbeing, and need for healthy social relationships. Weekly classes in Christian education are taught by the Christian Education teacher in Pre-K and Kindergarten. Students are exposed to the Bible as the history of the Judeo-Christian heritage, the teachings of Jesus as the basis of the Christian faith, the awareness of the needs of others, our relationship with God, and the concept of God's unconditional love for each of us. Further, students learn about the core values of respect, responsibility, honesty, integrity, justice, and compassion, as described in scripture. These values are discussed and related to current happenings in the students' lives. Development of tolerance, personal integrity, self-esteem, good sportsmanship, and a respect for the rights and interests of others is considered essential to the growth process.

Did you know that a typical wedding event costs around $28,000 today. Moreover, if you are arranging a party, you will be expected to pay out a minimum of $1,000. while organizing a party may imply enjoyable and all you need to do is invest some cash, there is a bigger issue at hand. The problem is choosing what to use.
For numerous women out there, going to a party can mean more headache instead of fun. A typical problem is the best ways to select the right dress Females have to select gowns that are distinct and not used by anyone else in the party. After all, it would not actually be a great thing to see someone else wearing the very same dress at the celebration, would it?
Choosing the right party dress
There are a lot of party dresses that you can choose from. Nevertheless, celebration requirements are different. For instance, a work party will be different from a wedding celebration. The good news is, you will have different choices. Here is a look at few of the gowns that you can select for the unique occasion.
Tips to choose the best party dress.
Keep in mind, every celebration has different needs. For example, if it's a mixer you are going to, the cocktail dress is the dress that you require. You can even wear this dress at semi-formal occasions. The dress is long and frequently touches the ankles easily. Exactly what's more, if these dresses touch your ankles quickly, it is described as having a ballerina length. Here is a look at the things you need to think about before purchasing the best gown.
1. Exactly what's the best size to wear?
Your party dress requirements do not just vary however the kind of celebration you are going to but your very own size as well. If you are slim, you might require a slim and fashionable dress or dress that you can put on and show your figure If you are a bit plump, you may need to get a plus sized gown to achieve that curvy figure.
2. Go inning accordance with your figure.
If you have a busty figure, you need a party dress that has extra flounce on the bottom as busty ladies have a shorter waist body. Likewise, if you have a small figure, you need a dress that can actually seem to lengthen your shape. So, you may need to choose a short gown that will simply make your legs look a great deal longer.
3. Be various
If you are going to ladies' night out, buy a gown that is fun and flirting. You can pick brilliant and vibrant colors for the event. Likewise, business celebrations need you to use professional dresses that aren't too short or attractive.
4. Look unique
Maybe you can have a gown that the leaves a bare neck. Maybe a sleeveless gown would match you more. Enhance your dress with a party shoe and a bag. You can bring a designer bag with you too, if you have one. A tote bag would do wonders to complement your appearance.
5. Don't overdo it
Remember, you can look cool and sensuous even without baring everything. You can have a complete gown dress and even an evening dress to suit your requirements. Remember to be subtle and classy. Keep in mind, individuals can look sexy however couple of can look stylish.
The requirements of each celebration vary and you may have to select a party dress that matches the party requires totally. After all, being loved and complimented at a party is something every female eagerly anticipates.

Are you trying to create a digital marketing strategy that fits your business?
I always say that whatever you do, you must be strategic about it. Otherwise, you're gonna be wasting a lot of time. And I can say, that I've been there myself too.
At the same time, your digital marketing strategy doesn't have to be complicated. There are 6 simple steps that I'm about to share with you, that'll give you more clarity and direction.
Take Your Business to the Next Level
If you're dead serious about creating success in your network marketing business, there might be one tool that you're missing. I didn't realize it myself when I first started. A lot of network marketers are actually missing the personal development and lead generation aspects. They're doing a lot of hard work, but forget about creating leverage – having people come to YOU asking about your business.
In 2014 I found an attraction marketing training platform that (not to exaggerate) not only changed my business, but my life. Not to mention it's been around since 2008 and never been stronger. So if you're looking to grow, generate more leads and surround yourself with literally the best community in the entire industry, I highly recommend for you to check out this platform. You and your business deserve this!
This method, that consists of 6 simple steps, can work for ANY niche – no matter what business you're building. It could be network marketing, or your own coaching, or real estate. The formula always remains the same.
I personally believe that whatever you do, you have to aim at something. When there's no goal, you're going nowhere. It's kinda like running in the woods without knowing where you're headed, you'll end up nowhere. The same thing applies to your business. You MUST have a goal.
Moreover, you should write it down and make sure you SEE it every single day. You can create a vision board and put it on the wall in your office. I have mine hanging where I can see it all the time, so it definitely fuels my vision and makes keep keep going when I don't feel like it. As Napoleon Hill said – if the goal is not written down, you don't really have a goal.
Considering the fact, that every business is different, you need to know your audience. As they say – if you're targeting everyone, you're targeting no one. If you are just getting started, and not quite sure who your audience is, research other business owners within your niche. Figure out who they're targeting and trying to attract.
One other thing you can do is understand your product (obviously, huh?). And do your research to identify WHO are the people that are already buying what you have to offer. That is going to be your idea customer. However, in the beginning when you don't know your customer avatar just yet, you have to research who the potential is going to be. And later on you can narrow down.
In the video below I talk about 4 more crucial steps when it comes to creating your digital marketing strategy. Although the first two are important, there's a LOT more that goes in place to make it all successful.

It hurts...
Sorry that its been a bit quiet here these past couple of days; I was busy moving to a new house, so you should probably count yourselves lucky this place was dead for just nine days Kit from the Polemical reports hasn't finished moving his stuff yet and he started it months ago.
And I haven't really done much of consequence besides lift boxes, nor as anything in the news really irked me to the point of ranting. I did have time to watch a movie though and as I'm sure you can tell by that image of the films poster and that poor attempt at a joke in the title which film it was.
Unfortunately overall I was quite underwhelmed by this movie and so was very surprised to learn that it practically mopped the floor with the competition critically I mean damn 98% and six BAFTA's? etc.
Anyway I should probably clear something up straight away before I get into the actual film, I'm not going to be looking at this film from a Socialist perspective or any political perspective, nor am I going to comment on Imperialism or the actual Iraq Invasion all that much and its for a very good reason; that being that this film has absolutely nothing to say politically or even topically if it weren't for the desert motive and the Baghdad captions this could have been any conflict zone imaginable. Though it does at least touch on the psychological aspects of conflict and the tension that lie beneath the surface of any unit or team faced with extreme pressure so credit is due there I guess.
Anyway the film starts of with a literal bang as an Mobile phone detonated IED takes out are veteran bomb disposal team leader to both establish tension and set the scene for new boy and main character sergeant James to take over. And thats about it for the main plot, I actually like this part as I found quite refreshing, I was getting pretty sick of the fish out of water takes down the General Blood of the Evilanian a week out of basic training. However it does mean the film meanders a bit for the two hour run time. Thats really the main problem I have with this film and why I don't outright hate or like this film, because to me it didn't seem like the film actually knew were it was going or what type of war movie it was going to be, early on it looked like a very good demonstration of the 90% boredom 10% frightening excitement that is fairly close to the experiences of actual soldiers, a good example of this being the scene were they meet Liam Neeson and co out in the desert with the flat tire.
But then towards the end it seemed to veer of into the dumb macho-man direct to DVD action film territory as we not only have a child being murdered but also wired up to explode. In a film that has something to say about well anything a scene like this might have served as a strong condemning scene on the depths of human brutality or some other intellectual message.
But here its more like the launching pad for James descent into stupidity. James literally runs off the base to hunt down the child killer (the child in question happened to be a sort of friend to James)in a hoodie breaks in to random mans house only to be chased out by his wife and them nearly get shot when he returns to base. It then gets alot worse after being called out to the site of a potential suicide bombing involving a oil tanker decides on nothing more then a hunch that the attack was remote detonated (he has absolutley no evidence of this) decides to take the two men under his command off on a "haji hunt" despite the fact that on the scene are three platoons plus support units how do I know this? one of the men (Sanborn, hes sceptical about James abilities, follows the rules and Black) actually points this out to Sergeant James and is promptly overruled, hell they don't even bother to radio in that there leaving the scene so if trouble does occur which seems likely given the fact that their the main characters help will be several minutes away which could prove fatal.
I'm going to have a brief aside here to talk about the actual Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. You know what the main reason why Western deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan are so low compared to their enemies? well it isn't that we have better training or equipment (they certainly help but there not the main reason) its because western armies have almost perfected the ability to respond to and support units in the field once they come under fire. This is why very brief hit and run tactics even wghen insurgent forces seem strong enough to overwhelm the initial force and IED's are so popular, they pretty negate the Wests main strength.
As previoulsy stated the film was fairly good on the realism aspect (as far as a film can be anyway , there'll never be a truly realistic war movie as that would be incredibly boring to watch) so to see it go from that to that scene from Star wars a new hope were Han Solo and Chewie chase those storm troopers around the death star in under ten minutes was a bit of a shock. I mean yes they did show Sergeant James rack up a few infractions before hand (removing his headset, deploying smoke for no reason) and while real military those would have been punished severely for the sake of establishing character traits (that of the balls of steel maverick) I was willing to let it go after all what real American hero plays by the rules? but even by action movie standards this is insane and stupid. They get to an area where there is three potential exits down three seperate very tight alleyways and theres only three of them of dear so of course they decide to still not inform command of what there doing and instead split up and each take a dark narrow ally on there own.
Of course realism kicks back in for a few minutes as one of the guys (that other guy Eldridge, whose going through some emotional issues and gives the film the most of the little substance it has)gets jumped and in the rescue actually gets crippled by Sergeant James in a friendly fire incident. And since this whole mad mission was done by Sergeant James over the objections of Sanborn and was not only a dereliction of his units operational orders but also the mission they were originally assigned potentially endangering those three platoons, but also got one of his men hospitalised from a friendly fire incident no less, couple this with his going AWOL to harass the local population and its no surprise that no punitive actions are taken by the Company CO or any Officer or disciplinary body. Still at least we get Eldridge calling James out on his bullshit as he gets airlifted out of there, I was actually afraid he would forgive the Sergeant for his criminal stupidity.
Its time for another little aside I think, this time about action and war movies in general, its a common theme to have the heroes violate there orders or go rogue in order to defeat the villains and say the day. usually we'll get one of those fake out scenes at the end were the hero gets chewed out by their superiors only for them to then give them a medal and drop all charges. Many films do this I've lost count of the times this happened in Star Trek In reality this couldn't be further from the truth, violating orders is and will often be punished regardless of the results of your actions, this is because heroic or not ALL armies are built on the chain of command or they cannot function, this why groups like Castro's July 26th movement was successful despite there material short comings, and any example of this not being the case regardless of the results is a direct threat to the chain of command and thus the whole structure of the armed forces. Now a successful violation of orders that ends up saving the day in real life may... may cause them to tone down there punishment but sometimes not even then as many a British sqauddie found out in World War One.
What really makes this really stupid is that Sergeant James wasn't successful it was a complete cock up and yet there was no real consequence to his actions. Anyway the film wraps up shortly after they meet a suicide bomber, okay a remorseful suicide bomber who wants the bomb to be disarmed so James marches out to save him not to redeem himself in the eyes of the men apparently they didn't mind either, its just to remind us hes a good guy. He fails miserably and then goes home the next day.The End.
So there we go another mediocre film that somehow raked in the trophies. I know I seem quite critical about this film but I don't really hate it in fact I thought the first half was very good it was full of subtlety, as realistic as Hollywood will probably ever get and a somewhat interesting psychological subplot with Eldridge. Its really the second half and its ludicrous set pieces and stupidity that drags it down for me.

Well, I suppose all publicity is good publicity.ReplyDelete
I really do hope to be blogging soon. Until recently my only internet access was at the local library - and it felt indulgent to do anything other than what I was supposed to be doing, applying for jobs. I then got a crappy job to make ends meet and suddenly found myself decrying the inconvenient hours of the library.
As of yesterday, I have internet access at home (yay!). I'm also starting a new (not crappy) job Monday. Unfortunately, working my notice at my crappy job and starting my new not crappy job means that I won't have time to blog in the immediate future, but I hope to have something worth posting next month.
Hope you are well and enjoying your new home.

I quite like gadgets. So it should come as little surprise that I have been drawn by the bright future promised by smart bulbs. By their nature, in order to retain access to their smart functionality they need to be 'on' even if they are not shining. This presents a problem when faced with several decades of habit of flicking the power switch when you walk in to and out of a room.
Being 'smart' you can voice control them using Alexa, but that has some faintly annoying lag and that is even if she understands you the first time. Plus, shouting "you damn well know what I meant, Alexa!" to turn off the bedside light can be disruptive to one's sleeping partner.
So this is about the start of my quest to find another way.[Read More]

In the past three years about 30 visitors to Beihai Tunnel (北海坑道) in Matsu's Nangan Island (南竿) have lost cellphones while photographing the famed "blue tears," a county official said.
The blue tears are a naturally occurring phenomenon caused by a form of algae called Noctiluca scintillans, which glows a bright-blue color from April through August every year. The blue tears are a major tourist attraction, drawing 180,000 visitors to Lienchiang County last year.
The Beihai Tunnel, which provides an ideal place to view the algae, is one of three such tunnels in Matsu built from 1969 to 1971 by the Ministry of National Defense to provide protection for military vessels. The tunnel was remodeled and opened to the public in 2000 under orders from then-Lienchiang County commissioner Liu Li-chun (劉立群), who hoped the tunnel would boost tourism. It remains the only one of the three tunnels accessible to the public.
Lighting inside the tunnel is kept off when visitors enter at night so that the only light comes from the glowing algae, which become visible when the water is disturbed by paddles or oars.
Tourism officials said the effect is like "floating through space surrounded by the light of the stars."
Lienchiang County Transportation and Tourism Department Deputy Director Liu Hsing-chien (劉性謙) said the water in the tunnel is 6m deep at its most shallow point.
"If someone drops a cellphone in that water it is quite hard to retrieve it," he said.
One boat operator recalled a father who dropped an iPhone 7 in the water recently while photographing the blue tears.
"The smartphone had several pictures of his son. Those memories are all lost," the operator said.
The most important first step if a handset is recovered from water is to turn the power off and remove the battery if possible, the Liberty Times (the Taipei Times' sister newspaper) digital lifestly editor Chuang Ying-chun (莊英群) said, adding that the smartphone should then be placed in front of a fan to dry for at least one day.
Tourists who drop their handsets in the water while aboard a boat cannot seek compensation from operators except in the event that the boat is being operated incorrectly, lawyer Lin Fu-kuei (林富貴) said.

Spring comes late in Alaska. It starts in the valleys in late March to early April and doesn't complete it's climb up the mountains until mid-July. Only in the last two days have the trees started to bud, which means for about a month we've been living in the brown zone, the time period between snow melt and bloom. If you look across a vast, open space, you pretty much only see browns and greys, which depending on your attitude, can be depressing or a sign of hope. A friend of mine made the observation that the lack of color makes the few things with color that much more striking. I think he's right. The brown zone gives you days when you can get up with the sun and drive up into the mountains to cross country ski, only to come home in the afternoon and ride your bike. If I've learned anything about weather and seasons in Alaska, it's that it's best to not plan your life around it. Don't wait for things to be warm enough, dry enough, sunny enough, or anything enough. It's best to just embrace the brown.

In January 14, 2018 the movie Dunkirk will be playing at the Tower theatre and if you don't know much about it well here is some backstory with it. In May 1940, Germany advance into France, which trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the bench using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated. The location will be in Oklahoma City, OK, 73103 and at the Tower Theatre 425 Northwest 23rd Street and the times are 4:00PM – 6:00PM, in case if you missed it here is the next times 7:00PM – 9:00PM and the tickets are $10 and you must be 13 & over in order to see the movie.

The official "due date" for my crane game project was yesterday, and I'm happy to say that it is to the point where I can say I accomplished everything I set out to do at the beginning of the semester. It's been a long journey this semester to get here and I'm honestly stunned I was able to achieve my goals and learn so much. Since the only update I have made since week 10 has been a very quick (and excited) post, here's a fill in of all of the details!
The entire semester I have been riding on the hope that the claw grab was going to successfully be able to pick up my physics body prizes. I learned a bit about Animation Blueprints in UE4 and added in an animation state for the claw grab. The claw animation is a blend of the animation and the physics, I then tweaked the physics bodies on my prizes and the claw as well as the physics materials (to change the mass and physical properties). I was very pleasantly surprised that the claw's collision interacted with the collision of the prizes to successfully be able to pick them up.
There is a bit more I'd like to do here to get it functioning the way I want it to completely, but given the time constraints of this project and the goal of getting the game to a level of proof of concept, I am happy that it is working enough to pick up a prize, have the possibility of it being able to slip, and drop a prize into the drop chute.
At the moment, the claw is only able to grab around the physics bodies. In the future, I'd like for the claw animation to be blended with the physics collision so that the physics collision is able to stop the animation of the claw when the pincers collide with the prize. This would provide for more variability in the way the prizes are picked up, hopefully allowing for the ability to pick prizes up by the smaller physics bodies, like limbs.
he prize spawning and randomly populating the machine with prizes was a somewhat challenging dilemma. I couldn't spawn the prizes all at once from one location. Doing so made the physics assets collide with each other, explode, and get stuck in the walls of the crane game machine. Here are my solutions:
The spawning of the prizes is done within the Level Blueprint. It's a for loop that runs until it reaches the number of max prizes set to fill the machine. The spawn determines which prize class it is spawning by a random number chosen each time it runs through the for loop. The number of prizes is set by Number of Prizes user input exposed for the CGPrize Blueprint. Each time a random location is chosen from a custom function I set up that chooses between two different custom spawn zones defined by the min and max coordinates of cubes. I set up two cubes to define the spawn zones to avoid spawning prizes over top of the drop chute. On spawn, one of the spawn zones is chosen by a random number (1 or 2), like flipping a coin. All prizes are spawned at a constant Z height, but the X and Y are chosen randomly as floats between the range of the min and max coordinates of the X and Y of the cube.
This is very basic at the moment, but screenshots of my Blueprints graph are soon to come. For this semester, I just wanted a basic indicator of the recognition of a prize being dropped into the chute. It is essentially an invisible cube positioned within the area of the drop chute that triggers overlap events when it is overlapped by the plush prizes. When overlapped, it sets off a chain of resulting functions, such a sound trigger and a call to the update score function. The update score adds to the score total variable, casts the score to a string and feeds it into an update to the Draw Text, a HUD function.
As a next step, I'd like to add in a timer, and instead base the points system around a fulfilling of specific achievements in that allotted time.
I've also made some graphical elements like a score panel that I'd like to begin to implement by drawing a texture to the screen. I've done some work to make sure that the drawn elements hold their place on the screen and scale properly with a rescaling of the screen dimensions.
I created a few more prizes to fill up the machine, and more are underway! It's quite a fun process to make these. For all of them, I have started with ZBrush's ZSpheres to block out the form of the prize, and it's basic armature, sculpted them to a high level of detail, retopologized and UVed them using 3D Coat, then hand-painted the texture maps for PBR materials using Substance Painter and Photoshop.
You can view the prizes so far here.
I added wonderfully cheesy background music to the game, recorded from a real life crane game machine, and then edited and cut to loop annoyingly as you struggle to pick up prizes. Additionally, there is a sound trigger that randomly chooses a sound effect to play every time you get a point. Sound adds a lot of refinement and character to the game, so I'll definitely be adding more. As of now, the sound effects come from RIT's School of Film & Animation sound library.
I really have enjoyed working on this project, and I have so many more ideas for it that I'm able to pursue now that I have the base down. I'm really excited to keep developing this game this summer, and would love to eventually release it publicly to play. I'll be posting a video playthrough soon on The Stuffgrabber project page. Stay tuned!

It's always nice to know were not alone. 🙂
Carry on from one crazy fibro warrior to another! I mean who wouldn't be??? The leg thing. That is my biggest and most recent hurdle right now. I just can't seem to make it OVER this damn hurdle… doc will get an earful next visit! Any tips? ~Kim
Long ago, well, 2002, was when I knew I wasn't crazy. I'd been in pain since I was 11. My ankle used to swell and freeze in position, and my back and arms used to hurt. Until I was 21, it was 'growing pains' – even my scoliosis – a visible thing – was not allowed to cause me pain according to my specialists. I was just 'sensitive'. Then an odd thing happened – I had a car accident. It was a tiny bump, but I got whiplash/torticollis. I had spent most of my life going to A&E with pain that had no reason. But this time I went with my shoulder bent up to my ear, unable to move, in such pain that the triage nurse actually mentioned how white, sweaty yet cold I was. I saw a junior doctor who may have been of his head on pills. He looked at me, touched my neck and said 'Fuck, you've got Torticollis. It was only a little bump? Why didn't you get an ambulance? How did you get here? It happened how long ago? Shit. All I can give you are these (a big bottle of codeine and a big bottle of diazepam). I suggest you have them with a little wine, and sit up tonight, keep taking them until it relaxes'. That reaction told me that I wasn't crazy. And I wasn't 'sensitive', in fact I had a very high pain threshold. And from then on, I've fought for people to believe me. My Dad still doesn't really – even when he saw a specialist who shouted at him about it. But that is my Dad's problem. So, I was lucky to have a stoned medical student believe me at 2am in a dump of a hospital, and if someone who really fucking needs sleep, and really wants to go home, believes me, you can believe you, whatever people say. Even if the doubters are in your head. Tell those voices to fuck off. xx
Thank you so much. I think I really needed to read that. 🙂

They come in many varieties, are fantastic pollinators and producers of deliciously sweet honey, but they can also come with a nasty sting in their tail. Here we discuss how to deal with a bee sting
We're all familiar with that buzz during the summer months and just occasionally we may take a sting. Wasp and bees can often be mistaken for one another and are both capable of giving a nasty sting, but generally will leave us alone if we don't bother them. They are hugely important as pollinators and should be left alone. So as a general rule, if you do come across a bee, don't flail your arms around and chase them away, simply stand still and allow them to move on.
Whilst honey bees can attack when provoked, wasps are naturally more aggressive predators and whilst honey bees can sting only once then die, a single wasp is capable of stinging multiple times. Honey bees are hairy, while wasps usually have smooth and shiny skin and are brightly coloured, with black and yellow patterns.
A bee sting can be very unpleasant and sore for a few hours, but unless you are allergic to bees then it is unlikely to cause you any major problems.
What to do if you suffer a sting
If you can, try to remove the sting from the skin carefully as you could potentially spreads the venom, if for example the skin is pinched, instead try to scrape it off.
Apply something cold, such as ice if you have it to hand or a cold compress.
Take pain relief if very painful, such as paracetamol, but always check the dosage.
Try an antihistamine if it's very itchy, or visit your local pharmacist for advice.
Its always advisable to seek medical advice if you have severe swelling to the bite or significant pain.
Ring 999 if you have any swelling of the face, tongue, lips, neck or difficulty breathing or difficulty swallowing.
If you know you have an allergy…
You may know you have an allergy, but don't assume those around you do! Always carry your pre-loaded Epi-pen and a written plan on how to use it.
If you know you are prone to severe reactions notify your friends, employer and family and demonstrate how to administer the Epi-pen.
You may also be advised to wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace, ensure you do wear it.
If your reactions are severe, it may be worth looking into specialist venom immunotherapy treatments, contact your local GP for more advice on this.

Iomgra! I find it difficult to keep working on a language for more than fifty or sixty words. (But then there's my near-marriage to Sturnan....) I was wondering if anyone has found a way to get past that stage that's perhaps a little more fun that just sticking it out, and how many of you have managed to stick it out. Amraga, Wright.

These are the book available through the Free Spirit ponies Project – purchases can be made either directly through us (Please email email@example.com) or through the links given below:
The Free Spirit Pony Diaries – …..or perhaps this should be titled 'The journal of a slightly 'odd' horsewoman, her infinitely patient 'other half', 13 independent ponies (including the 'just a bit too big to be ponies' ones), 3 hilarious pigs and 5 very energetic Jack Russells'. When I first moved to East Sussex, UK over a decade ago, with 7 ponies in tow to 'start a riding school', little did I know that the ponies had other ideas….. 12 years later and we are on a very different path – a far better and more rewarding one but one which has challenges all of it's own! Inside the covers of this book you'll find our journey between November 2011 and December 2014, exactly as it happened and as it was recorded on our Facebook Page – The Free Spirit Ponies – the ups and downs; the tears and the laughter, but most of all, you'll find the story of how our horses reminded me of what it really means to love horses. Paperback £12.95 & E-Book £5.99 – available through the links below
The Free Spirit Pony Diaries 2015 – Following on from The Free Spirit Pony Diaries (2011 – 2014) – the next installment in the journey of The Free Spirit Ponies, a naturally living herd of horses and ponies and their piggy friends, continues……. Here are our adventures throughout 2015, exactly as they happened and as we shared on our Facebook page. 2015 – A year of growth, of awakenings and of dreams starting to come true…….
"Quality Time Activities" for you and your horse – This book is for all horse owners but especially those whose horses and ponies may not be able to be ridden, either temporarily or permanently, for whatever reason or who chose not to ride, to enable both horse and owner to enjoy a fulfilling relationship. Most of the time we just turn up at the yard, do the jobs we need to do, catch our horses, groom them, tack them up and ride – why not become a bigger part of their lives, create a better bond and understanding and take some of the pressure of yourself! All of the activities are designed to enable you to develop a much better relationship with your horse and are all based on the principle that our horses and ponies are and always should be seen as our friends. Paperback £7.95 & E-Book £3.99 – available through the links below
Taking Care of Your Pony – This is a book for children and young people about how to look after a pony in the way a pony really needs. Told through the 'voice' of Toffee the Shetland Pony, it explains how to have fun and understand their pony and why they do they things they do, how to feed them properly and how to work and play with them in a kinder, more natural way. Toffee also covers subjects like 'getting older' and 'saying goodbye' as well as how to handle times when they 'don't agree'. If your horses and ponies could recommend a book for young people to read it would probably be this one! Paperback £8.95 – available through the links below
My Horse, My Teacher, My Friend – There is a well known saying that "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear" (Buddhist Proverb) – well, my teachers have appeared in the form of horses and continue to do so. Anyone who has spent any length of time around horses cannot have failed to have observed some of the profound lessons they are able to teach us. The question however, is whether we have actually learnt from them! Inside the covers of this book, you'll find some of those lessons that I am now sharing with you so that their legacy can grow and 'ripple' outwards. There have been so many lessons but these are some of the most important. They are presented through pictures, thoughts and observations, including those given to me by our horses and ponies and also through some of the journal and blog entries I have made to illustrate the lesson. They are not in any particular order and can be read as a kind of 'journey' as we have experienced them or as individual gifts of motivation and learning; whichever suits you. Paperback £8.95 – available through the links below

This book is so necessary, but it was SO SAD. I recommend that everyone reads it, but also that they have some kittens or puppies to play with while they do.
You got me to pick this up! One chapter in. A huge yes to everything so far. Good story: I had it with me at the dentist's office yesterday, and the dentist (new to me) exclaimed how he likes everything Gawande writes, and how he thinks all medical professionals should read him. Confidence level in new dentist now very high.
