nice intro, and looking forward to your fic.
eh, why do Darths plot to betray each other?
Because we're evil and wish to kill each other
P.S. I wish you wouldn't have based it off of our RP, cuz you're gonna make it to where you win... but i'll end up winning the RP
Looks good Grivis. A shame about the Darth Yoda Fic. Anyway I'm looking foward to more. And CSI, the Sith always plan to betray each other.
theres a new pic on the Prologue pic. thanks to iyman.
Btw, interesting prologue.
Nice heading igyman. Where did you find the background?
i found it on Wookiepedia under galaxy i belive, CSI.
Chapter 1: The Meeting
Darth Grivis sat down in a chair next to Darth Ferio. Then, he raised his hand for silence. In a flash all of the sith council focused on him.
It seems that a new threat has risen, Grivis began. A sith lord from the Rim has entered our Region.
But Grivis, I thought our Great Region was impenetrable, Ferio protested.
Obviously not, Grivis sneered back. Talarius must have done a bad job putting up my Prototype.
What, Talarius yelled. In anger Talarius ignited his Red saber.
You dare to blame me? Talarius asked.
Yes, Grivis replied calmly.
Talarius snorted and charged at Grivis. Grivis jumped back and activated his Red saber. The two sabers clashed together, and Talariuss was stronger. Talarius pushed Grivis back; Grivis stumbled but quickly twisted and activated his Purple lightsaber. Then, he brought the saber up and cut the emitter on Talariuss saber off. Talarius stood stunned as his saber spit out sparks. Grivis then slammed the bottom of his saber into Talariuss head, knocking him unconscious.
Bastila rode the Ebon Hawk through the Unknown Regions. She had seen Revans ship fly to the planet Sekot. She knew the planet was the most known of all the Unknown Regions, and might have civilians on it. Bastila reached up to the Ebon Hawks main computer terminal and flipped the landing switch. Then, the Ebon Hawk slowly approached the planets surface.
Darth Valk walked into the cockpit of the Ebon Hawk. Bastila, surprised swiveled around in the pilot seat.
Valk, Bastila said upon seeing him.
Bastila, if were going to find Revan together you have to at least show me some respect.
Whatever, were approaching the planet Sekot, I saw Revan land there,
Good, The faster we find Revan, the better, Valk told her.
Like I didnt know that,
A preview for Chapter 2:
On the planet Sekot, Darth Revan looked up. Above him, the Ebon Hawk flew through the sky. Revan started to pull out his comlink to contact the ship as a hard piece of metal slammed against his head, making him fall unconscious .
Very good Grivis. I'm looking foward to more.
Thanks Pottsie, you will see more.:)
Chapter 2: The Capture
On the planet Sekot, Darth Revan looked up. Above him, the Ebon Hawk flew through the sky. Revan started to pull out his comlink to contact the ship as a hard piece of metal slammed against his head, making him fall unconscious.
Revan awoke and found himself on a stone bunk in a small room, surrounded by a stone wall with only a small hole for air. He got off the bed and stood up. He then walked over to the small hole and looked out. Revan could see a room full a machines and men. Revan grinned he knew how to ruin there day, for putting him in here.
Grivis carried the unconscious body of Talarius out of the temple and into his ship. Quickly he threw the body into Talariuss escape pod and shot it into space. Grivis watched the escape pod soar away, and then he entered the temple again and took the turbo let to the high council floor.
Revan sat back and waited for someone to come. A few minutes later someone did.
Hello, a female human said as she came in.
Hello, Revan returned, trying to think of Bastila and not this woman.
Im Laden, you?
Revan, he told her.
Nice to meet you, now you must be wondering who we are,
Yes, I am,
Good, we are a company on this planet that deals with newcomers,
In what way? Revan asked.
In ways, anyway why are you here?
For reasons,
Fine. Ill be back later to finish interrogating you.
She turned and walked out of the room and disappeared. Revan reached down and felt his lightsaber. They had taken all his weapons except it. Perfect. He walked over to the hole in the wall and summand the force. He then used it to crush a nearby machine. Flames shot out of the machine and started to spread. Revan saw a group of people taking water to try and put out the fire, he used the force again to choke the group. They fell to the ground. Revan then grabbed his lightsaber and cut a hole in the cell door and he quickly jumped through it.
Preview for the next chapter: Bastila ran down the ramp of the Ebon Hawk and stood on the landing platform. She could see Revans ship on the platform left to hers. She was about to turn around to leave, when a hand grabbed her shoulder and she heard the snap-hiss of a lightsaber.
Ummm...... short interoggation... but good chapter....
she was going to come back to continue it. but she never got to. anyway thanks for the comment
Good Chapter, even though it was short. I'm looking foward to more.
Another good chapter. And looking forward to see more.
*Da** insomnia! (Also correct me if I'm wrong.)
Chapter 3: The Crash
Bastila ran down the ramp of the Ebon Hawk and stood on the landing platform. She could see Revans ship on the platform left to hers. She was about to turn around to leave, when a hand grabbed her shoulder and she heard the snap-hiss of a lightsaber. She flipped her lightsaber with the force and it zoomed into her hand. The saber activated and she flipped back landing behind the attacker. Bastila peered at his face It was Revan.
Revan, she cried in surprise.
Bastila, he breathed.
Bastila ran into his arms and embraced him in a hug, which soon developed into a kiss. Valk choose that moment to appear.
Who is this, Revan asked Bastila.
Darth Valk, he was a Jedi who served with you in the Mandalorian Wars, the other jedi general.
Revan rounded on Valk, You mean the one who fled near the end of the battle right before I was crowned Dark Lord of the Sith?
Valk looked at him with hatred in his eyes, I didnt flee.
Yeah, then why werent you there, and you were exiled in Council from the JEDI ORDER after the battle, Revan practically screamed.
Believe what you want, one day will pay for it. With that Valk walked away.
Coward, Revan sneered after him.
The escape pod finally slammed into a planet. Dirt hit the view screen, blocking out Talariuss view of where he was. Talarius grabbed his lightsaber and quickly started to cut a hole in the escape pod. The door fell off and he quickly jumped out. Talariuss body slammed against the ground as he landed and he quickly got up. He looked around and saw he was on the abandon moon of Sekot called M-3.
Revan walked into the Ebon Hawks apartments and sat on his bunk. He then started to work on his journal.
From the Private Journals of Revan Skywalker:
I run through the Star Forge with Bastila at my side. Her hair moves like the wind as we run. I look ahead and see three dark jedi ahead. We ignite out lightsabers and I spring into action. My lightsabers flash and kills one of the dark jedi. Bastila leaps up and silences the other two. Then she motions me that we should continue so I continue to run with Bastila at my side. Star Forge, 3,956
Preview for the next chapter: Grivis walked up and entered the high council room. He then quickly took his seat.
Shall we continue? he asked.
Yes, Ferio said. Of course, He then motioned for Zeorg to speak.
Master, He started. We have some very bad news.
also on the charecter im working on putting url images of all them so keep a eye on that. so far revan and Ferio are done
Good Chapter, as always Grivis.
thanks pottsie:)
also the charecter url images are complete except for 1 person. But i've found a good pic for one, but the sabers need to be red not blue. So i've asked on the pic request thread for that change. The is The Jedi Exile, Darth Valk is the one i found.
Edit: i just found the other one a pic.:)
BTW i just looked at the bio's again, and you made Bastila younger than Revan... Bastila is about 20 not 34....
No, shed be about 27 because TSL is 5 years after KOTOR and she was 20 in Kotor plus this is about 2 years after TSL so 27 it is.
well then change Revan's age to 29....
i changed it to 31:xp:
Good chapter, as always Grivis.
Sorry if this is advertising but I have posted this on the forums i have made at Here
Chapter 4: The Preparing
Grivis walked up and entered the high council room. He then quickly took his seat.
Shall we continue? he asked.
Yes, Ferio said. Of course, He then motioned for Zeorg to speak.
Master, He started. We have some very bad news,
Revan has broken out of our stronghold.
He used the force and completely destroyed it.
I see I am glad to say however a weakness has come into him.
What? Ferio asked.
A girl,
Bastila walked over to Revan and saw the datapad.
How far does it go back? she asked.
Revan hesitated then said, Since I was found by the jedi.
The Jedi and sith archives are gone why do you need it?
Revan sighed, No they are not gone they are in this room,
Bastila just stared. Revan got up and hit a small button on the wall. The wall spun around and revealed hundreds of datapads.
B-Butt how? Bastila stammered.
I went to the jedi temple on Coruscant and searched the old library. I found a chest that was filled with these; it seems they tried to evacuate them.
Revan reached over and grabbed one. This one he said was made by Darth Traya.
He activated it. The voice a Traya filled the air, "Know that there was once a Darth Traya. And that she cast aside that role, was exiled, and found a new purpose. But there must always be a Darth Traya, one that holds the knowledge of betrayal. Who has been betrayed in their heart, and will betray in turn. That was me.
Next Entry:
"I use it as I would use a poison, and in the hopes of understanding it, I will learn the way to kill it. But perhaps these are the excuses of an old woman who has grown to rely on a thing she despises."
Next Entry:
"I am his rescuer, as he are mine."
Next Entry:
"They will die a death that will last millennia, until all that remains is their code, their history, and, in the end, the shell of their armor upon the shell of a man, too easily slain by Jedi."
Final Entry:
"There are dark places in the Galaxy where few tread. Ancient centers of learning, of knowledge. But I did not walk alone. To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best. But my will was not law. There were disagreements, ambition and hunger for power. There are techniques within the Force against which there is no defense. I was cast down, stripped of my power, exiled. I suffered indignities, and fell into darkness."
This one was mixed up a blaster shot was to close and it corrupted it.
This is amazing, you have restored part of the sith archives. Bastila said.
And soon all of it, Revan told her, not knowing if it was true or not.
Good Chapter as always Grivis.
So why are you collecting all of this stuff for the Sith Archives, Bastila asked Revan.
Im going to build a new Sith Temple, but first I have to defeat the other sith, He told her.
I see, With that Bastila left Revan to help Valk drive the ship.
Ah Bastila, Valk said. Call Revan I feel a sith lord on the planet blow us, and I recognize the feeling,
Bastila called Revan in.
Revan have you heard of a sith lord named Nihilus?
Vandar reached over to the hyperdrive and switched it on. The ship blasted in to hyperspace and later left over the home planet of the Hysalrians and his. The ship approached for a landing.
Vandar leapt out of the ship and looked around. He didnt see anyone, but he knew his finding was close. Vandar for the first time realized the soft mud under his feet felt good. He knew that his species had a taste for mud, but still. It felt good. Vandar shook his head; he had to find his friend.
Ah, Vandar, good to see you, a voice said.
And you, Master Gormo, Vandar said to his lost friend.
Why are you here? Gormo asked leaving the friendly voice behind.
Part 2 COMING IN 2007
1.If you don't know who Gormo is please don't ask. If you do don't please tell. It will be a main part for part to btw its not the gormo that comes up on wookiepedia, its a last name.
2.Sorry for the fic to be cut short. I promise that the saga will be long.
3.Hope you liked the fic.
Very short epilogue. But nice. I like this story however...

The University of Illinois Saturday Art School Program
-Established 1964-
The School of Art and Design's Saturday Art School and Summer Art Enrichment programs work on many levels to meet the goals of the Art Education Division. We are a community outreach program, enrolling a unique mixture of children and young adults from throughout East Central Illinois. As a teacher preparation center, we support the work of college level teachers in training from undergraduate preservice teachers to PhD candidates. We are also a research lab for curriculum development, artistic development, and innovations in instructional methods and design.
Conceived in 1964 as a site where art educators in training could gain vital experience, the Saturday Art School and Summer Art Enrichment programs provide an environment where research on early artistic learning and innovative curriculum design flourishes. The progras are valuable to both the university and the local community in that both teachers and students benefit from our unique combination of experience, research, and innovation. We hope to reach students from a variety of cultures in order to provide a richly diverse environment in which to experience art in contemporary life.
The Saturday Art School program meets for nine Saturdays each fall and spring semesters. The Summer Art Enrichment program is similarly structured, but meets on weekdays during the summer, for approximately two weeks for each class. Students are assigned to classes based on their grade level, from PreK through eighth grade.
In conjunction with the Krannert Art Museum, the Saturday Art School Program hosts an Open House/Kids@Krannert, which brings over 1000 visitors to Krannert Art Museum and the Link Gallery each semester to inspect student work completed during the Saturday Art School Program. Music, theatre, storytelling, demonstrations, and hands-on activities provided by KAM complement the students' exhibit as well as current exhibits in the museum.
Advanced masters and doctoral students serving as mentors for younger teachers in training have produced numerous publications that have grown out of research at the Saturday Art School Program. Through a recently awarded PITA grant, we are creating an interactive website, training our education majors involved in the Saturday Art School Program to work with digital video filming and editing, and promoting reflective practice using the teachers' videos.
Challenges in Development
The Saturday Art School Program is a complex enterprise, involving students at all levels, from our preschool through young adult pupils to our college level teachers in training and on up to graduate level mentors. We seek to keep curricula relevant to the lived experiences of our students at all levels and have recently expanded our programs to engage with electronic media, visual culture studies, and experimental approaches to art education.

The aim of this study was to evaluate fatigue 2.5 years after adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) in patients with localized breast cancer and to assess its relation to pre- and immediate post-treatment fatigue values. The association of fatigue with psychological distress and functional impairment was analyzed as well as pretreatment predictors for chronic fatigue.
Of a set of 41 patients whose fatigue was evaluated during adjuvant radiation therapy, 38 patients alive and free of cancer at 2.5 years (t2) after RT were assessed in this study. Patients received the Fatigue Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ), a visual analog scale on fatigue intensity (VAS-F) as well as on cancer-related distress (VAS-D), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and three questions of the Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) per mail. All 38 patients returned their questionnaires. The values were compared to pretreatment (t0) and immediate post-treatment levels (2 months after RT, t1).
There was no significant difference between chronic fatigue levels at 2.5 years after RT and pretreatment values. When compared to immediate post-treatment levels the FAQ global score and the HADS anxiety score displayed a significant increase. Cancer-related distress correlated closely with fatigue scores. Patients with functional impairment had slightly higher fatigue values. Age or hormonal therapy were not associated with chronic fatigue levels. Pretreatment fatigue and pretreatment HADS anxiety and depression scores were good predictors of fatigue at 2.5 years after RT explaining 60% (FAQ) and 49% (VAS-F) of its variance.
Fatigue 2.5 years after RT did not increase above baseline levels before RT in conservatively operated breast cancer patients. Chronic fatigue correlated closely with psychological distress. Patients with pretreatment elevated fatigue, anxiety or depression levels are at risk for chronic fatigue.

I'm looking for an efficient key-value distributed persistent database.
I've look into Redis, but it only support hashes with up to $2^{32}$ keys, which is not enough for my application
I've look into Memcached, but it is not designed for long-term persistence, it is designed for keys-value pairs to expire after a while
I've look into BerkeleyDB, but does not support a client-server paradigm, it is basically a in-app storage engine
I've look into HyperTable, but is not really row-oriented, you cannot edit existing rows unless you want to hack the timestamps, and after a key + timestamp is deleted, it cannot be reinserted. Also, the only supported value type are strings, if you want to store floats or complex objects you need to serialize into a string and then deserialize
I've look into MongoDB, which is very flexible, but it has suffered from very important performance and scalability issues that haven't been addressed in the last two years. They are summarized in this blog post.
I'm going to look next into Cassandra and Riak, and as you see i'm quickly running out of real options
What other databases are there that can fit the description i've outlined above?

Getting to Outcomes Guide for Teen Pregnancy Prevention
This Getting To Outcomes (GTO) guide is designed to help community organizations plan, evaluate, and improve the quality of their teen pregnancy prevention (TPP) programs.
Jul 21, 2016
Children and teens who engage in sexual behavior are at greater risk for emotional problems, pregnancy, dating violence, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). RAND studies have examined such topics as prevention and intervention strategies, virginity pledges, the influence of the media on adolescent sexual behavior, and the link between romantic teen relationships and later adult marriages.

Living in the North Corona neighborhood of Queens
North Corona Apartments
Situated in between East Elmhurst and Corona lies the Queens neighborhood of North Corona. Here, the NY apartments come at a reasonable price, and many are quite stylish--coming in a range of colors and shapes.
But most North Corona apartments are in multifamily buildings, while only a handful are located in single-family homes. But despite the large amount of apartment buildings, everything in this community stands under five stories.
Living in North Corona
Like its neighbor to the south, North Corona is fairly close to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, where 1,255 acres of land provide residents with an incredible amount of recreational space and facilities. This greenspace is easily the largest public park in Queens, but takes the title as the second largest in New York City (behind the Bronx's Pelham Bay Park).
North Corona may seem like a long trek from Manhattan, but residents are no stranger to the area's strong sense of culture. The local flavors come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, and there's absolutely no lack of authentic and delicious eateries. The neighborhood's main drags are Junction Boulevard, Northern Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, and 108th Street, although you can find many small stores and bodegas scattered about the sidestreets.
Although this neighborhood is in stark contrast to typical "suburban Queens", the automobile has quite a strong presence here, in comparison to other parts of the city. Most buildings in North Corona sport driveways and garages, for residents who either commute to work, or use the car for errands. But this neighborhood is far from isolated. Many times, having a Queens address means little access to the subway, which is fortunately not the case for this neighborhood. Instead, residents of North Corona apartments are always just a couple blocks from the number 7 train. In fact, commuters are lucky to have three separate stations at their disposal--all along Roosevelt Avenue.
North Corona has a unique character and identity all its own. The residents show a strong sense of community, and are clearly proud of their heritage and the backgrounds of their neighbors.

As your Judge-Executive, one issue that I have wrestled with is at what point do you publicly respond to mistruths, false accusations, rumors, etc. If you responded to every one of them you would spend all of your time writing letters to the paper and none of your time making sure the business of the county was getting done. Due to the practicality of writing responses it has been my policy to let most of it go, but occasionally you have something that gets blown so out of proportion that you have no choice but to sit down and try to address it the best you can.
In their best baseball game this season, the Eminence Warriors batted .303 as a team, had 10 hits, struck out twice and committed just two errors. But it wasn't enough as the Warriors took a 15-13 loss to Berea on Saturday afternoon in an offensive-dominated showdown.
Berea scored 11 runs in the third inning alone and held off Eminence in the final inning to win by two runs. It was an improvement for the Warriors, who dropped to 0-5 with the loss.
Many parents believe that their children are safe from all types of danger, but there are many that escape even the most careful parent. Children that access the Internet are able to come across inappropriate and in many cases extremely dangerous material through accidentally finding a pornographic website, in chat rooms, bulletin boards, news groups and/or e-mail and instant messages.

The new guy in charge of continuing the recent success of the Henry County High School football program got the chance to showcase his team for the first time last Wednesday night.
Ray Graham and his Wildcats concluded the allowable 10 days of spring training with a Red-White football game. It offered a glimpse into what 2010 holds for the Cats, and gave Graham the opportunity to watch his future players in game-like situations.
General Manager/Editor
A Pleasureville teen arrested in February in connection to a string of crimes has been indicted by the Henry County Grand Jury.
General Manager
A 16-year-old Henry County High School male student was arrested last week after two homemade bombs were found in his family's Eminence area garage.
According to Henry County Sheriff Danny Cravens, Detective Danny Stivers was contacted by a family member who found "what appeared to be two homemade explosive devices."
Heading into last week, the Eminence Lady Warriors knew it was going to be a tough stretch of softball games. And they were right.
Playing against two teams ranked top-25 in the state and another team that has the best record in the entire 8th Region, Eminence lost all four games to drop its record to 2-6 on the season. The girls survived the week, head coach Bill Covington said, and they came through with their heads up.
For 28 years dairy farmer Billy Smith hasn't missed his daily appointments. At 730 milkings every year — except in leap year when it's 732 — that adds up to more than 20,000 milkings. On Jan. 12, Smith completed his 20,000th straight milking.
The routine is the same every day:
Twice a day at 5:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Smith wrangles the cows into the waiting area outside the milking barn.
He sterilizes each piece of equipment and slips a "sock" over the hose that delivers milk into the milk tank.
During a meeting that started off tense, three members of the Campbellsburg City Council said they were unhappy about not being notified of a recent change in the city's personnel.
Council member Rex Morgan said he was upset that Mayor Jan Fletcher hired a new city attorney without notifying the council members that the decision had been made while acknowledging Fletcher is not required to do so. Fletcher replaced former City Attorney Joe Yates with Graham Whatley of La Grange.

Learning Target/Task AnalysisStudents will continue to tell the meaning of words and phrases in a text and focus specifically on mythological characters. Students must tell the differences between poems, drama, and prose using structural elements to create an oral or written response to a text. Students will find the similarities and differences in the narration between a story written in first person and a story written in third person point of view.
Use questions and prompts such as:
What do you do when you come to words or phrases you do not know? (use context) Can you tell me what is different about these kinds of texts? What is the same? Think about what you read. Who is telling the story? Think about what you read. Do you agree with the way the characters are thinking in this story? Do you agree with the way the narrator is thinking in this story? How is your thinking the same or different?
I can...4.4a I can determine the meaning or words and phrases as used figuratively in mythology.
4.5a I can explain major differences between poems and drama when writing and speaking about the text.
4.6a I can compare and contrast the point of view from which stories are narrated.
Essential Vocabularymyth, mythological, prose, structural elements, verse
Sample AssessmentsSIOP to learn vocabulary words-Students define, illustrate. find a synonym, antonym and break into syllables.
Students write a biography and an autobiography to examine first and third person points of view. Share with class and discuss the elements of first and third person.
Reader's Theater-Read a play or story and act out.
Poetry Cafe-Write a poem and act out. Discuss rhyme, meter, verse, and stanza.
Content must be adapted to students' needs through use of graphic organizers, outlines, labeling of pictures, study guides, adapted text, and highlighted text.
Enrichment:Read stories from mythology. Use a Junior Great Books format to discuss the story where the teacher poses questions to students for open discussion to determine elements of literature and ethical elements of it.
Use music to find rhythm and rhyme.

Skill Level Intermediate
As we've seen, Photoshop has several filters capable of removing high-frequency detail from a photograph, and as usual, there are third-party filters out there that fill perceived holes in Photoshop's capabilities with add-on plug-in filters. One such filter in this case is Topaz Labs Simplify 3 filter. This filter has several bells and whistles that enable a wider range of results. In this video, we'll take a look at Simplify. And per our other videos, let's go to chapter6 and open up our toned_photo.
I'll go to Full Screen mode. We want to look at this at 100%. I've put it in our primary subject area here. And now we'll go to our Filter menu and go down to Topaz Labs Simplify 3. I would like to point out that if you're interested in this filter, you can download a 30-day free trial. It doesn't leave any watermarks or anything, so you have 30 days to really exercise this file and see if you like it. And it's only I believe somewhere under $40 if you do choose to buy it.
So if you think this is a filter you like, I can recommend it as a very good companion to Photoshop. Now once again, as we've done before, we're going to go to 100% so we can see exactly how this filter is working. And I'm just going to start off by showing you a few presets that they have. This is where this really shines. There are a pretty wide set of controls in here that we're not going to get into nearly the sophistication of what this can totally do. But just by showing you a few of these presets, you can start to see that you can get many, many different kinds of results out of this particular filter.
Some people actually use the filter as an end result unto itself. I like to think that I can take it further than what the filter alone can do, so for me it's just a very nice filter effect. Now what I like to do is just reset everything, so we're now down to basic controls. Really all you need to deal with is the Simplify Size slider, and I'll just turn that up a bit. It's pretty sensitive, so you don't want to crank it up too much; if you do, you're going to get very simplified imagery.
But you can see how this really goes a long way towards simplifying and yet maintaining all of that edge detail that's in the image. The other slider that is very useful is the Details Strength. You can see where we've lost the lights in the trees, and I can bring those back and yet it still maintain the general character of the Simplify Size setting. So this filter really does quite a bit. I find it to be a very interesting filter to experiment with, as well as use as the primary way I like to get my images prepped prior to painting.
Let's go ahead and say OK, and because this is a sophisticated filter, there is a lot of processing going on underneath the hood, so you'll find that depending on the size of your filter, these are going to take a little longer to process, but it's well worth it for the results that you get. So here's our finished image. And once again, the character is different than we've seen in the other filters, but it gives you a really good idea of what you can get in terms of the "ultimate," so to speak, in image simplification.
Now I'm going to go ahead and close this, and if we go back to chapter6, I've put in here a file called Simplify Compare. Let's open this up. And I'm going to go to Full Screen mode at 100% and let's get rid of the interface, so we can see this. And basically this gives you a nice comparison, so you can just see side by side what each of the filters that we've looked at do. So here's our original, and we can't look at this all on screen at once, So I'm just going to scroll. Reduce Noise, as we said earlier, is a nice beginner filter.
The one thing that I will criticize it for is it tends to soften everything up, so the crisp edges get lost to a degree, and there's an overall kind of softness to the image, but not bad for a built-in filter. Next we go to a Surface Blur, and it's very good at maintaining crisp edges on high-contrast areas, but it also tends to almost give what I call kind of an underwater effect to the reduction of noise in the image. Next, we looked at Smart Blur, and Smart Blur starts to have a good combination of both reducing high-frequency detail, as well as maintaining edges.
So moving up in the quality ladder, you can see this definitely does a better job, at least in this image. Once again, I will emphasize, every image is different, and you may find one of these techniques works better on a different image than it does on this image, so you can't give it an overarching quantitative pronouncement that this is the best filter. And then finally, we have Topaz Simplify 3. And in looking at this, I probably under-simplified just a hair, but it does show how a live detail can stay in the image and yet can be very effective at removing the highest frequency detail in this particular case.
And as we saw, it has the most wide-ranging control over all of the filters that we've seen, but you pay for it, because it is a third-party filter. So Topaz Simplify is really adept at a wide range of simplified looks, so much so that it is capable of producing finished artwork on its own. For our purposes don't be seduced by these looks and go overboard. All of the simplification methods we've looked at, when well applied, will produce an attractive painterly effect.
You don't want to simplify detail so much, however, that there is little to focus on.

For once, I think I found a harmonious font pairing, from Google Fonts, that only took me 4 hours. It normally takes me days to find something I am happy with.
When pairing fonts from different families, I apply this trick to get a better understanding of the x-height, letterforms (especially bowls, counters, shoulders, ascenders and descenders).
I also like to compare numerals especially if the "3", "4", "5", "7" and "9" are going to sit below the baseline.
These two are not 100% perfect, but have enough similarities to suggest a nice harmony.

This research examines the response of employers to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), with a specific focus on the employment of those with mental disabilities. A telephone survey was completed in a metropolitan area in the southern United States with a random sample of 117 businesses. In terms of specific practices that indicated compliance with the ADA, 15% had specific policies for hiring those with mental disabilities, and 37.6% had indeed hired such individuals. Companies that had complied with the ADA were more likely to be large and to have specific policies for the hiring of minorities and those with physical disabilities. Employers also did not believe that employment of those with mental disabilities was their responsibility, and supported increased efforts by the rehabilitation community to improve employment opportunities for individuals with mental disabilities. Mental health service providers need to work more closely with employers in their regions and educate them about the capabilities of individuals with mental disabilities, and inform employers that the types of accommodations necessary are neither costly nor difficult to implement.
