It's week 9 in the season, and we have 9 designers left. Coincidence? I don't think so. Helen is up to three wins, the most out of the bunch. How will she fare this week? We shall see.
This week's challenge is to make a "relaxed, civilized" look for a modern, Southern woman – the Belk department store customer, specifically. Mentor Tim Gunn says she dresses "vibrantly, expressively, and she's always fashionably put together. She knows accessories, and she loves color and anything with feminine details." Dramatic Ken is from Birmingham, which is about as Southern as you can get, so he's not only been raised by Southern women, he's around them all the time. And as a Southern born and bred woman myself, I agree with him – the other designers don't have a good idea of what "Southern woman" are (with the exception of Dom, perhaps – her mom is from New Orleans.) It seems most of them believe modern Southern women wear plaid. Alexander even says something about "Steel Magnolias." That said, this Southern woman lives, for the most part in t-shirts and jeans, but nevermind. The Belk private brands VP John Thomas arrives and tells the designers that the winning look will be sold in Belk stores. He's also wearing a pink suit coat. Pink! Maybe the "Steel Magnolias" quip wasn't far off.
Tim's tour through the workroom ends well for most, but badly for a few – Justin's color combination of orange and black looks Halloweeny. Bradon and Alexander's dresses look like 1950s garden party dresses. Kate's dress has great color, and Ken's magenta maxi-dress is looking great. Jeremy is doing a tailored jacket with a dress which is good in theory, but Tim reminds him to make sure to be fresh and inventive. Helen's dress is very '60s with lace – lace – and Tim is concerned about Dom's ultra-minimal look. Alexandria's dress is completely wrong; it's a Bonnaroo hippie "crazy quilt" as Tim says. He even goes so far as to call it "hideous." He tells her to not over-design, and go back to just one fabric. A plaid. But whatever.
Bradon is in love with his plaid garden party dress, but Ken's critique is dead on: "Living in the south, no one will wear this dress. It looks like the dress that Harriet Tubman wore after she received her freedom." Guffaw.
The Runway Show: Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, Zac Posen and Tim are joined by guest judges Stacy Keibler from "Supermarket Superstar" and a lengthy stint as George Clooney's girlfriend, and John the Belk VP.
Ken: His maxi-dress is chic and fitted nicely. It looks like a formal summer dress.
Alexander: His plaid blue and pink plaid strapless dress is has a handkerchief hem, but it's too full and fussy looking.
Dom: Her duo-toned flowing dress is beautiful.
Justin: His one-color short coral dress is lovely. Good neckline, but the back hemline is too short.
Alexandria: Her dress is a boxy, thin mess. You can see right through it. The neckline is atrocious.
Bradon: His plaid shirt dress is even more plaid than Alexander's. Not a fan.
Kate: Her orange and purple print is adorable, and definitely on the mark.
Jeremy: His print is nice, and the jacket is also lovely, and while it does look Southern, it also looks old. Really old.
Helen: The yellow is nice, but daisy lace and the mermaid length is all wrong. Cut that off at the knees, and it's a Southern dress. People need to remember it's hot here. You'll swelter in all that fabric.
Judging: Heidi excuses Helen, Alexandria, and Justin as the middle, safe group (Helen's lace mermaid? No. And Alexandria's mess? Seriously?) Helen mentions that she believes the judges were looking for a marketable dress, and from their comments during the individual critiques, we agree.
Bradon's dress is praised, and both Dom and Ken shake their heads over that. I have to agree. Jeremy's outfit is pointed out as very old. Zac says it's a "casino" jacket and the dress is too simple and dowdy – he says later that the dress looks like a "college fashion show in a non-metropolitan city." Ow.
Ken's dress is panned. Zac calls it a purple nightgown. Nina says it's a safe design, and Ken says that the people where he lives aren't taking big risks. John says it looks like a bridesmaid's dress. Ken keeps his anger in check, even when Heidi pokes him.
Kate's colorful dress is liked by everyone by Heidi, and it is mentioned twice that it looks marketable. (Helen was so right.) Dom's dress is called too minimal, and Nina says she hates the color and is very disappointed. Alexander's plaid dress is called fun and sexy, with great movement.
Winner: Bradon wins. A plaid, layered shirtdress. Ugh, but ok, sure. Kate should have won.
And this is where Heidi shakes things up: she tells the bottom three – Dom, Ken, and Jeremy – that they have a second chance. She's giving them one hour to change their almost-losing designs into something better, and each of them are allowed to choose a fellow designer to help them. Wow. This has never happened. What if one of these new dresses are better than Bradon's plaid thing? Sigh.
Dom choose Helen, Ken selects Kate, and Jeremy takes Alexander. Dom pulls the black and white print she'd originally put aside. Jeremy does a whole new bias cut dress. Kate puts a waist into his dress, and cuts it off, which is a good idea.
Judging Part Two:
Jeremy: This is a much younger look, with two prints on a bias. It's much more wearable. No cruise wear here, but it's pretty plain.
Dom: Her print dress is definitely better than her first dress; much more modern. It's flowy, and draped nicely. Heidi loves it, as do the others. Zac said if it would have been the first runway dress, it would have been his winner (and in deliberations, the others agree.)
Ken: His maxi-dress is now a mini dress (very mini, wow, way mini), is one shouldered, and very fitted. They all say it is a 100% improvement, with a nice contemporary feel.
Who goes home? Jeremy is out. His second-round dress just wasn't strong enough. But he says he's happy to be seeing his kids and to be able to go drinking.
And as a parting gift, John from Belk tells Dom that her second-round print dress is the winner of the second round, and it too will be produced along with Bradon's. Bradon and Dom dress war! Dom will completely win that.
And with that, "y'all," we look forward to week 10. Rebel yell, yee-haw, sweet tea, "Duck Dynasty," and all that.
Note: Fiona the Color Commentator had schoolwork to do. But she'll be back.

NBA launches virtual reality app with Google Daydream – USA Today – USA TODAY
Posted: February 19, 2017 at 11:18 am
This year's All-Star dunk contest, skills challenge and three-point contest feature some big-time names. USA TODAY Sports
The NBA launched the league's first official virtual reality app.(Photo: NBA)
Four months ago, the NBA became the first professional sports league to offer regularly scheduled virtual reality broadcasts, ushering in a new era of basketball entertainment.
On Friday, the NBA, along with Daydream by Google, launcheditsfirst official virtual reality app yet another example of the league's ability to stay ahead of the technological curve.
The app's first episodic VR series, "House of Legends," brings fans to a virtual sports lounge with former NBA players such as James Worthy, Chauncey Billups, Robert Horry, Baron Davis and Bruce Bowen, who discuss everything from pop culture to their greatest career moments.
Over the past few seasons, the NBA has explored a variety of virtual reality offerings that have the potential to bring fans closer to their favorite teams and players, said Jeff Marsilio, NBA vicepresident of global media distribution. House of Legends is the latest step in that journey and we are eager to see the response.
The app will also include on-demand video, NBA highlights and features, and player and team statistics.
We're proud that Daydream gives sports fans new, immersive ways to connect to the leagues, teams and players they care about most," said Aaron Luber, head of entertainment partnerships at Google VR/AR. "Launching the NBA VR app is another step toward bringing the best in sports VR experiences across the biggest leagues and events to our platform.

Meet the foreign billionaire pushing for Canadian censorship of Islamophobia – The Rebel
Posted: February 18, 2017 at 3:44 am
Iqra Khalid is a Pakistan-born Muslim MP for the Liberals, and former campus activist.
Khalid also introduced M-103, the motion condemning Islamophobia, and calling on the government to prepare a report to eliminate it, using the full power of the state, which means everything from the CBC, to the RCMP, to the Canada Revenue Agency, to our foreign policy.
But theres something else.
Last September, Trudeau announced that the government of Canada had officially teamed up with George Soros, not only to bring Muslim migrants to the west, but to propagandize, to mobilize citizens in support of them.
And just before Christmas, the government of Canada had a big conference to start implementing this agreement:
"They also committed to working together to make sure that the global narrative on refugees is a positive one.
So its not just about actually helping refugees.
Its about making sure people only say positive things about them.
I wonder if Trudeau has ever flown on Soross private planes, or vacationed at his private getaways. I wonder if Soros has funded any of Trudeaus NGOs, like Canada 2020.
But really, we dont have to wonder, because the government of Canada put out that press release about it.
No need for a conspiracy theory, my friends.
Its a conspiracy fact.
Tonight, Faith Goldy brings us the latest developments on the M-103 story, and Brad Trost and I discuss the possible privatization of the CBC.

About The Music Genome Project – Pandora Radio
Posted: May 18, 2016 at 2:42 am
About The Music Genome Project
We believe that each individual has a unique relationship with music no one else has tastes exactly like yours. So delivering a great radio experience to each and every listener requires an incredibly broad and deep understanding of music. That's why Pandora is based on the Music Genome Project, the most sophisticated taxonomy of musical information ever collected. It represents over ten years of analysis by our trained team of musicologists, and spans everything from this past Tuesday's new releases all the way back to the Renaissance and Classical music.
Each song in the Music Genome Project is analyzed using up to 450 distinct musical characteristics by a trained music analyst. These attributes capture not only the musical identity of a song, but also the many significant qualities that are relevant to understanding the musical preferences of listeners. The typical music analyst working on the Music Genome Project has a four-year degree in music theory, composition or performance, has passed through a selective screening process and has completed intensive training in the Music Genome's rigorous and precise methodology. To qualify for the work, analysts must have a firm grounding in music theory, including familiarity with a wide range of styles and sounds.
The Music Genome Project's database is built using a methodology that includes the use of precisely defined terminology, a consistent frame of reference, redundant analysis, and ongoing quality control to ensure that data integrity remains reliably high.
The Music Genome Project is updated on a continual basis with the latest releases, emerging artists, and an ever-deepening collection of catalogue titles.
By utilizing the wealth of musicological information stored in the Music Genome Project, Pandora recognizes and responds to each individual's tastes. The result is a much more personalized radio experience – stations that play music you'll love – and nothing else.

A trip to Mars is a lifetime dream and excellent reality TV
Posted: March 10, 2015 at 3:47 am
Maggie Lieu is gunning for a one-way ticket off this planet.
The 24-year-old is in competition for a spot on Mars One,a proposedmission to Marssponsored by a Dutch non-profit that also has its own reality TV show.
The competition attracted 202,586 wannabeastronauts who applied from around the world. That's now been narrowed to only100 candidates, andLieu recently got word she's on theshort list.
Over the next decade, Lieu will join 99 competitors in trying toproveshe has what it takes to populate the Red Planet. She says there will be three aspects to this decade-long training program.
First there's the group training:Well be put into groups with people that we will potentially be spending the rest of our lives with and seeing how well we get on with them, Lieu says.
Candidates will also undergo technical training, wherethey'll learn the practical skills needed to man a colony. That's everything from medical and dental training to learning how to grow food and repair the outpost where the astronauts would live.
But the thing Lieu feels will be the most challenging will be the personal training. Mars One plans to simulate the experience of living on Mars here on earth with isolation simulation postsin the desert and the Arctic.
When we leave these simulation posts,well have to put on the full Mars suit, the gear, and well have to live with time delays when communicating with people on 'Earth,' she explains.
But even with those harsh realities,Lieu has been itching to leave the planet since she was a little kid. "When youre young and you say you want to be an astronaut, nobody really takes you very seriously," she says.But she's kept her eyes on space and is pursuinga Ph.D. in astrophysics at the University of Birmingham.
Lieuinsists the Mars One missionisnt as fantastical as it sounds. I think this is inevitably going to happen, she says.All the technology to get to Mars is there.

For sale: handbags and conservative ideology

But two floors below the Conservative Political Action Conference's cavernous ballroom, there's an entirely different show.
An eclectic — and sometimes bewildering — mix of more than 120 vendors are peddling everything from handbags and advanced degrees to atheism and books. It's a mix of unvarnished capitalism and old school political recruiting.
But perhaps most importantly, the bazaar is a place where conservatives can capture the next generation.
READ: CPAC 2015 coverage
"Look at the kids," said Ami Francisco, who was working the Young Republican National Federation booth. "There are so many young people. There are high school kids here. There are college kids here and this is the future of our party."
Francisco said the Young Republican's goal is to create a home for graduating college students through the age of 40, which she emphasized was important to the growth of the Republican Party,
"We want to get them engaged, keep them engaged right from high school to college and into the Young Republicans so they are not dropping off," she said.
CPAC is the logical recruiting ground to do that. At least 56% of the roughly 9,000 people who registered for the conference this year were of college age, according to organizers.
The cost of renting a piece of this valuable real estate to make your conservative pitch: $4,000.
Of all the conservative gatherings that occur each year, Annette Pettyjohn, director of admissions for Liberty University School of Law, described CPAC as "the best one for me to recruit students."

Boutique owners Divine Serum helping heal dry skin
Posted: April 15, 2014 at 4:45 pm
A few years ago, Tomball business owner Grayce Egami couldnt find a solution for her young daughters severe eczema so she came up with one herself.
Egami recently opened a new holistic boutique in Tomball, where she sells Divines Serum. She developed the formula herself.
My daughter had a very severe case of eczema, Egami said. We had used everything from steroids to topical treatments and nothing was working. We dealt with that for about two years.
Egami said she went online and did some research about a holistic approach to treating the eczema.
I just wanted to see how I could help, she said. The Divine Serum came out of a need we had. My business just started with word of mouth and has now grown to the boutique.
Egamis Divine Serum helps to treat dry skin and cracked feet by moisturizing up to four hours. She has also formulated a skin cleanser.
Once you have dry skin it causes itching, she said. The itching can cause an infection. The cleanser and serum help to get your skin healthy again.
Egami offers her clients the chance to experience her products at the store.
The skin care line is the biggest thing we have here, she said. It helps those who suffer. A lot of my customers are going through chemo or are diabetic and their skin is dried out. We are just getting the word out.
Egami opened the boutique, located at 105 Pine Street in Tomball, in November, but has been working with lotions and serums for five years. The boutique also sells healing hematite jewelry and is a distributor of Shaklee.

520-Million-Year-Old Fossils Had Heart and Brain
Posted: April 9, 2014 at 12:44 am
The fossil of an extinct marine predator that lay entombed in an ancient seafloor for 520 million years reveals the creature had a sophisticated heart and blood-vessel system similar to those of its distant modern relatives, arthropods such as lobsters and ants, researchers report today (April 7).
The cardiovascular system was discovered in the 3-inch-long (8 centimeters) fossilized marine animal species called Fuxianhuia protensa, which is an arthropod from the Chengjiang fossil site in China's Yunnan province. It is the oldest example of an arthropod heart and blood vessel system ever found.
"It's really quite extraordinary," said study co-author Nicholas Strausfeld, a neuroscientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
The cardiovascular network is the latest evidence that arthropods had developed a complex organ system 520 million years ago, in the Cambrian Period, the researchers said. Arthropodscome in a wide range of shapes and sizes today, but the animals have kept some aspects of their basic body plan since the Cambrian. For instance, the brain in living crustaceans is very similar to that of F. protensa, which is a distant relative but not a direct ancestor of modern species, Strausfeld said. "The brain has not changed much over 520 million years," he said.
In contrast, blood vessel networks have become both simpler and more complex in the ensuing millennia, in response to changing bodies. The modern relatives of F. protensa are arthropods with mandible jaws, and include everything from insects such as beetles and flies to crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs.
"What we're seeing in the arterial system is the ground pattern, the basic body pattern from which all these modern variations could have arisen," Strausfeld told Live Science.

Scientists Build Artificial Chromosome
Posted: March 27, 2014 at 8:45 pm
In what is being called a major step forward in genetic engineering, scientists have built a customized copy of an entire yeast chromosome. Experts say it may lead to a better understanding of how the thousands of genes contained in these packages of genetic material work together in everything from yeast to humans. And it may make it easier to make designer yeast, creating living factories that churn out everything from antibiotics to biofuels.
Johns Hopkins University professor Jef Boeke says it started with a coffee shop conversation with a colleague.
I mentioned casually to him that, of course we could make the yeast chromosome if we wanted to, but why on Earth would we want to do that? And he practically literally started jumping up and down with excitement when I told him that, he said.
So Boeke, the colleague, Srinivasan Chandrasegaran and a third partner, Joel Bader, spent the next year discussing how they could engineer the chromosome to make it worth the enormous investment of time and money it would take.
They decided to create an artificial version of chromosome III, one of the smallest of yeasts 16 chromosomes. It carries about 100 genes. Boeke says scientists have studied it for years, adding It is the sentimental favorite of yeast geneticists.
Block by block
Boeke and his colleagues recreated their favorite chromosome, gene by gene, with synthetic chemical building blocks. They included molecular seams, so they could cut the chromosome apart, take some genes out, add others, rearrange them and stitch it back together in ways that would help them understand how different combinations of genes work together.
Since yeast genes are a lot like ours, Boeke says the research could lead to a better understanding of human genetics.
And perhaps most interesting of all, we think it will be useful for actually improving the strain under certain conditions of growth or production of some useful product, he said.
Different strains of yeast are already used to produce antibiotics, antimalarial drugs, vaccines, biofuels and much more. The ability to custom-tailor chromosomes could give the biotech industry a boost.

AMD Aims to Reinvigorate x86 Server Business
The chip maker, on the strength of its upcoming "Zen" core design, expects to start winning back lost market share from Intel in 2016 and 2017.When Advanced Micro Devices launched its first Opteron server processor in 2003, it sent a jolt through the server market. At the time, larger rival Intel was pushing its Itanium platform for the growing numbers of 64-bit workloads coming into the marketplace, moving away from the x86 architecture that formed the foundation of its Xeon processors. AMD officials argued that there was no reason to abandon the x86 architecture, and with Opteron introduced the first 64-bit x86 processor. It could run both 64- and 32-bit applications, and was embraced by both server OEMs and end users, persuading Intel to bring 64-bit capabilities to its Xeon processors and make Itanium a niche high-end technology. Within a few years, AMD's share of the x86 server chip space grew to more than 26 percent. AMD's market share now stands at about 1.5 percent—Intel's is more than 98 percent—due to technological and market missteps, focus on such aspects as power efficiency and core counts, and most recently an effort to develop low-power ARM-based server chips.
"AMD really hasn't been focused on instructions-per-clock as it relates to their core," Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy, told eWEEK. "They haven't been investing in their core IP."

MONTGOMERY — Exavyer Jackson knew Friday night would be the last time he took the football field, so he announced before the game he was going out with a boom.
The former Piedmont defensive lineman posted the promise on Facebook and kept his word in the North's 20-12 loss to the South to close out All-Star Sports Week.
Jackson made seven tackles, including four for a loss, recorded a sack, forced a fumble and caused a safety.
"I decided I wanted to come out and set the tone. That's all I ever strive to do on defense," he said. "If you come out and set the tone then your team has a chance to win. That was my goal."
Jackson set the tone in more ways than one.
His safety was what put the North on the scoreboard after the South took an early advantage.
The North turned the ball over on its first two possessions and the South scored on the next play both times, including on a double-reverse flea flicker on its first offensive play.
"I got caught looking in the backfield and also I didn't expect them to come out like that," said Chris Briskey, who was an all-state defensive back at Clay Central last fall. "He got behind me when I was looking for and expecting a run."
After back-to-back scores, the South tried running the ball on its third possession, but Jackson wasn't going to allow it.
The 2013 Class 3A Lineman of the Year finalist tackled the running back for a loss on the first play of the drive and tackled the quarterback in the end zone for a safety on the next.
"Before we came out here, I looked at everyone and promised them that I was going to get at least one sack, two forced fumbles and I'm going to score," Jackson said. "That's what I did. I'm a man of my word."
The North defense held strong after the first two possessions, and Jackson was a large reason why.
Midway through the second quarter, the South had the ball deep in the North's territory. After the drive failed near the end zone, the South elected to go for it on fourth down from the 1-yard line.
Jackson forced a fumble that was recovered by the South, but the play still caused a turnover on downs.
"I don't know what they were trying to run, but as soon as the ball snapped, instead of me making contact with anybody, I just dove through and grabbed the quarterback's arm," he said. "He didn't get the snap off cleanly and he fumbled it."
While Jackson controlled things in the trenches, Briskey wasn't caught slipping again. He finished the game with five tackles.
"I came in just trying to make the big plays and play my last high school football game the best way I could," he said.
Briskey will continue his football career at Miles, where he reports Aug. 10. Jackson will attend Jacksonville State on an academic scholarship.
"I've had fun in high school football, it's great, but it's time for me to better my life in something else," Jackson said. "A lot of people want me to keep playing football, and it's been in my mind, but I think it's best that I get my books right and get done what I need to do."
Former Wellborn wingback Chantz Goodman finished the game with 27 rushing yards. Former Panthers teammate Jaleel Burton made a tackle. Former Clay Central standout DeAndre Wills made a tackle, as well.
Former Woodland quarterback John Wes Adcock and former Piedmont star Denard Spears spent time at wide receiver, although neither caught a pass. Spears was a target several times, including being overthrown once in the end zone and having a pass intercepted en route to him in the end zone another time.

Dazed survivors of the worst tornadoes to hit the American Bible Belt in more than two decades surveyed the wreckage of their flattened homes yesterday, as state and federal clean-up crews herded them into temporary shelters and started to tackle downed power lines, severed gas pipes, fallen trees and debris as far as the eye could see.
At least 55 people were killed in an estimated 80 separate tornadoes that hit the states of Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama on Tuesday night and early hours of Wednesday. George Bush, still haunted by memories of his administration's calamitously slow response to Hurricane Katrina two-and-a-half years ago, dispatched his Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, to Tennessee, the worst affected of the five states, and made plans to pay a visit of his own today. "Prayers can help, and so can the government," he said.
In a part of the country where the volatility of the weather, and swarms of giant insects, gives a special resonance to Old Testament tales of pestilence and plague, many locals alluded to the wrath of God as they told near-biblical tales of calamity.A baby was discovered alive and unscathed in a field in Castalian Springs, Tennessee, across from a wrecked post office, evoking memories of the Moses story. In Atkins, Arkansas, Terri Thomas described her Samson-like feat of holding up one wall of her house, which would have crushed her and her family if shehad given way.
The Tennessee Governor, Phil Bredesen, surveyedthe damage and said: "It looks like the Lord took a Brillo pad and scrubbed the ground."
Thirty-one people were reported killed in Tennessee, which bore the brunt of storms with wind speeds up to 130mph. Thirteen were killed in Arkansas, seven in Kentucky and five in Alabama.Reuse content

I know I'm a bit behind the chia seed boom, but…
Chia seeds…, they are definitely my recent favourite ingredient. The health benefits of this what-so-called super food have been talked about in many places so I'm going to leave that to the pros. Instead, I'm going to tell you the effect that these tiny seeds have on the texture of breads.
Chia seed sourdough bread
Starter 125g
Strong flour 100g
Spelt flour 75g
Wholemeal flour75g
Water 170g
Chia seeds 15g + Water 60g
Salt 4g
Chia seeds absorb liquid crazy. You mix the seeds with water and leave them for a little while. The seeds transforms to something a bit like tapioca. The texture is similar to egg white… (Have a little taste if you're feeling curious. I find them tasteless…)
I fold in the water soaked chia seeds to the pre mixed dough, and keep doing the stretch and fold until the seeds are mixed in evenly. Although it's a high hydration dough, it wasn't not as tricky to handle as I thought… Maybe it's the chia seed effect?
The crumb was nice and moist. It had a very good springy texture. Tastewise, I don't think chia seeds did anything…, I couldn't taste them at all. However, the spelt flour and wholemeal flour gave the bread warm earthy flavour. This chia seed sourdough bread is its best when toasted and served with butter.
This chia seed sourdough bread is one of my regulars now. I can't get enough of it!
If you now any chia seed recipes, please share with me on the comment;)

If you choose a gloss finish, it will show imperfections and the least but of dust, but with satin finish much less maintenance, you'll have the look of bare wood with great protection. The guy who did my house used Helmenmans Spar Urthene. What a durable finish, WOW.
I would wait for the experts to explain the best stain choices and exact procedures. I know you will be better off with oil-based poly than with water, however you will need plenty of ventilation...

← Back to the Diamond Dictionary
The Four Cs: Cut, Carat, Colour & Clarity
As a general principle, diamonds may feature a wide range of differing characteristics. A cursory inspection of two diamonds of the same size might indicate that they were both of equal value. However, this is not quite true; even slight discrepancies may result in significant differences in the effect, and particularly in the value, of a diamond.
Diamonds are classified in terms of quality and value by applying a set of criteria known as the Four Cs, which stand for Carat, Clarity, Colour and Cut.
CARAT (carat weight of a diamond)
A carat is the unit used to measure the weight of a diamond. One carat weighs 0.2 of a gram and is equal to 100 points. A 50-point diamond thus has a weight of 0.5 carats or 0.1 gram. Please note that the carat is a unit of weight, not of size. Thus, although a two-carat diamond weighs twice as much as a one-carat diamond it is not twice as large.
We have assembled a chart showing some popular diamond cuts in a range of carats, to give you an impression of the approximate size of the diamonds.
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the chart. To display the
actual sizes of the stones, please ensure the document is displayed
in 100% view mode and do not use Zoom or Fit to Page options.
The number of carats of a diamond is not a direct indication of its size. Two further factors are required to determine this:
- Dimensions of the diamond in millimetres
- Quality of the cut, i.e. execution and proportions of the cut
As a diamond set in a piece of jewellery is generally viewed directly from above, the dimensions of the crown (top part) are particularly critical in creating a visually enlarged effect. The size of the stone can also be visually enhanced by an optimum cut. The better the cut, the higher the brilliance and fire of the diamond. A diamond may appear larger when it is cut to reflect light the most effectively. The proportions of the cut are also important. A poorer-quality cut which 'hides' more weight in the lower (and thus less visible) part of the diamond, known as the pavilion, can cause the diamond to appear smaller than a well-cut stone with the same number of carats. Please also note that a diamond set in a ring may appear larger or smaller depending on the size of the wearer's finger. The slimmer the finger, the larger the diamond appears to be.
The higher the carat of a diamond, the higher in weight, larger and thus more expensive the stone. If you have a limited budget available for your diamond purchase, we recommend that you set priorities in advance. What is the most important feature for you? The size of the diamond, its cut, colour or clarity? If size is the main priority, you may be able to select a larger stone by taking advantage of minor imperfections in clarity, colour and cut.
Clarity describes the visual appearance of a diamond. Diamonds that are completely 'flawless', or absolutely clear under ten-power magnification, are rare. The majority contain foreign bodies or flaws in the crystal known as 'inclusions' which impair the clarity. These inclusions may be mineral crystals (of the same kind, such as diamond crystals within a diamond, or other minerals such as zirconia in a sapphire), natural fractures or growth features. Inclusions block or impair the direct passage of light through the stone. The smaller and fewer the inclusions in a diamond, the higher its value and clarity. Flawless diamonds are cut diamonds which show no visible inclusions under ten-power magnification. Diamond clarity is classified according to the following universally applicable scale (from IF to P3):
Although diamonds can be found in all colours, yellow tints are the most common and are graded under the same system as colourless diamonds. As a general principle, the more colourless a diamond is, the higher its value. White light passes easily through a completely colourless diamond and is refracted in rainbow colours.
Diamonds in rare 'fancy colours' (green, red, blue, purple, brown, yellow and black) have a separate grading system and may be more valuable or more expensive than pure white diamonds, depending on their hue (colour) and saturation (intensity). Fancy coloured diamonds are the result either of impurities in the diamond, or of irregular pressure to which the gem was subjected during its formation. Statistically speaking, only one in 100,000 diamonds is a fancy diamond.
Different laboratories use different grading terms. Here is an overview of the most common:
The most colourless blue-white diamonds are described as 'river', 'exceptional white' or 'finest white', and are classified into the categories D and E. They are followed by 'fine white' / 'rare white' (Top Wesselton) in categories F and G. Wesselton (white) is the term given to category H diamonds.
To the eye of a practised specialist, diamonds of categories D to H appear colourless when viewed through the table (the flat top of the gem). Diamonds with a yellow tint are at the bottom of the colour scale (Z) and are correspondingly lower in value.
Cutting is the name given to the process of cutting and polishing which gives diamonds their specific type and shape, enhancing their brilliance and bringing out the visual effects inherent to the stone. A well-cut or faceted diamond of any shape returns and refracts the light more effectively (scintillation). Cutting increases the brilliance of the stone and gives it the 'fire' that makes it so desirable.
If the cut is excessively deep and pointed, light will 'leak' through the pavilion (the lower part of the gem). A cut that is too flat will refract light from the top (or crown) back into the interior of the stone, where it likewise 'leaks' through the pavilion. When the proportions are correct, light is reflected from facet to facet and then returned upwards through the crown.
Whatever their type, all diamonds have only a small number of optimum cutting planes, and only a few optimum cutting directions for each cutting plane. All diamonds, regardless of their shape, have an octahedral crystalline structure.
In addition, every uncut diamond, regardless of its shape or appearance, has four three-point, six two-point and three four-point cutting planes, giving a total of 4 x 3 + 6 x 2 + 3 x 4 = 36 'soft' cutting directions for every diamond. All other cutting directions – a total of approximately 100,000 (360 x 360) – are hard. At deviations of only a few degrees from the cutting direction, the hardness of the diamond increases to the extent that it is almost impossible to cut.
A good cut is judged on the following criteria:
- Number of facets
- Thickness of girdle and culet
- Distribution of facets on the crown and pavilion of the diamond
- Percentage value of diamond's overall height (overall height divided by diameter)
- Symmetry and size of arrangement of facets
- Angle of facets to girdle plane
- Proportions of table to girdle plane
- Ratio of crown to pavilion and table height to crown height
The brilliant cut is ideal as it brings out the highest possible brilliance and colour refraction and enables the cut and polished diamond to sparkle with the maximum fire.
Cut Grades
The brilliance of a diamond is determined by the 'finish', i.e. the quality of the cut and its proportions. The commonest grades of finish are:
- Excellent (≙ ideal)
Excellent brillance, free from marks; best proportions and symmetry; all light that enters the diamond is fully reflected; a very rare and exquisite cut
- Very Good
Very good brillance; no or barely visible external marks; very good proportions and symmetry
- Good
Good brillance, some external marks, Proportions show slight deviations from true, facets have good symmetry
- Fair
Slightly impaired brillance; some large external marks; proportions and symmetry show deviations from true
Cut Shapes
The round brilliant-cut diamond (usually with 58 facets) is by far the most sought-after and also the most intensively researched diamond shape available today. Numerous theories about light behaviour and mathematical calculations have been proposed, all with the same objective: to optimise the brillance, and therefore the fire, of a round diamond.
A round diamond will typically provide more flexibility of choice in cut, colour and clarity while retaining the fire and brilliance of the stone. For maximum brilliance select a round diamond with a cut grade of Ideal or Very Good and outstanding symmetry and polish.
Besides the round brilliant cut, the princess cut is one of the most popular diamond cuts. Its brilliance and unique cut make it a favourite for engagement rings. The princess cut is also popular with men, particularly as ear jewellery. Although the princess cut is traditionally square in shape, a rectangular shape has also become popular in recent times. The special feature of the cut is its sharply angled and exposed corners, which must be taken into account when choosing the colour grade. In oder to avoid a potentially slight yellowish tint at the corners, the colour grade selected should be at least a Wesselton grade (Grade H). The length-width ratio is also important. The dimensions of square or rectangular princess-cut diamonds can vary greatly. A square princess diamond should have a length-to-width ratio of between 1 and 1.05, while a rectangular princess may have a length-to-width ratio greater than 1.10.
When viewed from the top, the emerald cut is very similar to the princess cut. However, the cut of the pavilion (lower part of the diamond) is very different. The large open table and rectangular facets of this cut highlight the clarity of a diamond; accordingly you should choose a clarity grade of at least VSI (VS1 or VS2). In addition, like the princess cut, the proportions of emerald-cut diamonds can vary widely. For the classic emerald-cut shape, the length-to-width ratio should be between 1.30 and 1.40.
The Asscher-cut diamond is visually almost identical to the emerald cut, except that it is always square in shape. Here too, a higher clarity grade should be chosen as this shape also highlights the clarity of the diamond. Furthermore, please note that slight yellowish tints at the corners may be apparent in colour grades of J and downwards.
The brilliance of oval-cut diamonds is approximately similar to that of round diamonds. This cut accentuates long, slender fingers. As with the princess and emerald cuts, the length-to-width ratio should be carefully considered when choosing this cut and should be between 1.33 and 1.66.
The marquise cut resembles the oval cut, but ends in two points. In addition, this cut makes the diamond appear much larger. A marquise-cut diamond looks particularly beautiful in a setting flanked by two round stones. Care must be taken in selecting the colour because of the points; a colour grade between D and Hshould be selected to avoid possible yellowish tints at the points. A good length-to-width ratio for a traditional marquise-cut diamond is between 1.75 and 2.25.
A pear-shaped or teardrop diamond has a single point and a rounded end. This cut is popular with fans of round diamonds seeking a more unusual shape. The elongated shape of the pear-cut diamond creates a subtle slimming effect of the fingers. Because of the point, care must be taken when choosing the colour grade. To avoid a slight yellowish tint at the point, a colour grade between D and H should be selected. A good length-to-width ratio for a traditional marquise-cut diamond is between 1.45 and 1.75.
The key features of the radiant cut are its trimmed corners, making it a popular and versatile choice. A radiant cut can be square or slightly rectangular in shape. As the rectangular proportions may vary, length-to-width ratios need to be taken into account. A radiant-cut diamond with a square shape should have a length-to-width ratio between 1 and 1.05, while a more rectangular shape will need a length-to-width ratio greater than 1.10.
The heart as the ultimate symbol of love is beautifully accentuated in the heart-cut diamond. The diamond's brilliance is similar to that of a round-cut diamond. Please note that a slight yellowish tint may be visible at the corners in colour grades of less than H. As the heart cut can be broad, balanced or elongated, the length-to-width ratio must be considered to ensure the heart cut has the expected shape when viewed it from above. A good length-to-width ratio is between 0.90 to 1.10.
The cushion shape has long been popular, with rounded corners and larger facets that increase the diamond's brilliance. Accordingly these larger facets also highlight the diamond's clarity, so that a high clarity grade of at least VSI (very small inclusions) should be selected. The length-to-width ratio is also critical; this should be between 1 and 1.05 for a square cushion-cut diamond and greater than 1.15 for a rectangular-shaped cushion cut.

One company, however, is looking to make it possible for anyone to make money -- maybe even turn a profit -- from videos they post on sites like MySpace and YouTube. Electronista recently conducted an interview with Overlay.TV at its offices that reveals a solution which makes it possible to earn money from ads not just from a video blog but potentially your cellphone and your network media hub as well.
Google opens AdSense to web videos
Google today expanded its AdSense web service to include AdSense for video, one of the first large-scale ad revenue systems for web-based footage. The feature allows videos from YouTube to either embed ads in the videos themselves or to use the company's overlay system to put text ads on top that change based on the video and its surroundings: ads will change based either on text on the video's host site or on cues in the video itself, Google says. In-video ads are paid out based on impressions while text ads are based on the number of actual clicks.
Overlay.tv allows on-video ads from iTunes, more
Hoping to create a new way for even amateur video providers to make money, Overlay.TV says it has developed a new platform that can integrate ads into the content itself in an unintrusive way. The self-title service takes Flash-based videos from many common video sites (including MySpace and YouTube) and lets users create clickable areas in a video that tie into related ads; ads can be as subtle as links hovering over products that are already part of the video or as conspicuous as normal ads, Overlay.TV says. The resulting videos can then be embedded anywhere that accepts normal HTML code such as blogs or social networking sites.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj
Apple Store app offers Procreate Pocket
The Apple Store app for iPhone, which periodically rewards users with free app gifts, is now offering the iPhone "Pocket" version of drawing app Procreate for those who have the free Apple Store app until July 28. Users who have redeemed the offer by navigating to the "Stores" tab of the app and swiping past the "iPhone Upgrade Program" banner to the "Procreate" banner have noted that only the limited Pocket (iPhone) version of the app is available free, even if the Apple Store app is installed and the offer redeemed on an iPad. The Pocket version currently sells for $3 on the iOS App Store. [32.4MB]
Porsche adds CarPlay to 2017 Panamera
Porsche has added a fifth model of vehicle to its CarPlay-supported lineup, announcing that the 2017 Panamera -- which will arrive in the US in January -- will include Apple's infotainment technology, and be seen on a giant 12.3-inch touchscreen as part of an all-new Porsche Communication Management system. The luxury sedan starts at $99,900 for the 4S model, and scales up to the Panamera Turbo, which sells for $146,900. Other vehicles that currently support CarPlay include the 2016 911 and the 2017 models of Macan, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman. The company did not mention support for Google's corresponding Android Auto in its announcement. http://bit.ly/295ZQ94
Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa
SanDisk reveals two 256GB microSDXC cards

The Extreme microSDXC UHS-I card can read at a fast 100MB/s and write at up to 90MB/s, and will be shipping sometime in the fourth quarter for $200. http://bit.ly/294Q1If
Apple's third-quarter results due July 26
Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day. The stream of the call will go live at 2pm PT (5pm ET) via Apple's investor site, with the results themselves expected to be released roughly 30 minutes before the call commences. Apple's guidance for the quarter put revenue at between $41 billion and $43 billion. http://apple.co/1oi1Pbm
Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE

" I am always on the search for great in-ear headphones, however I always seem to find the same problem, because they are in ear, they tend to have very small drivers, meaning there is never much bass, and in most cases the highs are also messed up in an effort to get more bass!

By Don Thompson
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — On a second attempt, California lawmakers advanced a bill Thursday that would require electronics manufacturers to install a shut-off function in all smartphones as a way to deter what one senator called a crime wave of thefts.
The legislation by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, requires companies to produce smartphones with technology that makes them inoperable if the owner loses possession.
It fell two votes short of passing the 40-member Senate two weeks ago, but Leno said amendments since then removed opposition from Apple and Microsoft. It now applies to smartphones manufactured and sold after July 2015 and no longer includes tablets.
The wireless industry still opposes the measure as unnecessary.
"We have a crime wave sweeping our state," Leno said in urging support for his bill. He said two of three robberies in San Francisco now include the theft of a smartphone, and one of four robberies in Oakland.
"These crimes are up at double-digit rates," he said. "We're trying to keep our constituents safe on the streets."
Leno's bill, SB962, passed the Senate on a 26-8 vote, and now goes to the Assembly. Leno said more amendments will be considered there, including several offered by Apple this week.
The Senate voted two days after San Francisco Supervisor London Breed proposed legislation that would require smartphones and other mobile devices sold in the city to be equipped with a "kill switch" to render them inoperable if they're lost or stolen.
State Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles, noted recent reports that some smartphone owners are endangering themselves by using phones' tracking software to confront thieves to retrieve their phones.
Several lawmakers of both political parties expressed concern that fines of $500 to $2,500 for selling phones that don't include kill switches could unfairly penalize retailers. Sen. Lou Correa, D-Anaheim, voted for the bill, but he and several Republicans argued that those who didn't manufacture the phones or install the software should not be held liable if the phones don't include the required kill switch.
"These are good citizens in the business world," Correa said.
Leno said state law requires that fines could be issued only for "unlawful, unfair, fraudulent conduct," but agreed to consider adding specific language to the bill that fines could be imposed only if there is malicious intent.
Jamie Hastings, vice president for external and state affairs at CTIA-The Wireless Association, said in a statement that the industry has already taken significant steps to protect consumers, including voluntarily including such software on phones nationwide starting next year. The industry objects to having confusing state-by-state laws.
Leno said the voluntary action isn't enough because owners would have to find and activate the software. His bill requires that a kill switch be included as the default setting.

Average Time It Takes To Complete Dissertation
Example Dissertation Bsc
As a former surgeon, associate tutor, and experienced dissertation-writing-course instructor at New York College, I can promise you there's only one failsafe strategy, one key, one guaranteed key that you might want so that you can conclude your dissertation: Create.That's it. Really. You will find no wonderful techniques towards the production of writing, else or academic, although I dislike to become the bearer of poor information. If you would like to complete your dissertation in a fair level of time—and believe me, you do—you must learn to prioritize the work of writing itself each day and publish. Writing must turn into a low-negotiated element of your everyday regime.Here's the basic, method that is scalable that I would suggest: Sit the couch down in a chair, ultimately in a disruption and quiet - free bedroom. Eliminate your online and convert your phone on silent. For that day's writing activity, come right into your publishing space having already accomplished the investigation you'll need. You'll not be exploring or hunting something up throughout your writing occasion (study and editing are distinct responsibilities, feel it or not, and should be achieved in separate blocks).Don't do "poms"—timed times of 25 moments with five- minute breaks in between—for writing. They work very well for other distinct tasks, like investigation together. Rather, try and write to get period that is a longer, continuous. We create with 10 directly, for 50 minutes - 4 hours are broken, for by second . That may not be possible should you perform or have small children, but anticipate publishing five nights weekly , no matter what, for a minimum of two hours each day. It's doable, I offer.Here's for creating every single day: Writing, the explanation is imagining. It requires it's and time supposed to be demanding. The greatest error I've seen many graduate students make is to mythologize what I call "the instant of genius." Since publishing is considering, fantastic views don't just appear around the site after extended hours of demanding musing on the subject. Within my expertise, the very best suggestions typically happen through the work of composing itself—usually just at that time when you've come to an end of water and therefore are gazing along a relatively intractable issue, frantically attempting to stop. These would be the discovery occasions. Motivation for the writing method is far more significant than pro while you're writing a dissertation, one of the most difficult intelligent responsibilities an individual may do. In the event the smartest individual on earth can't figure out how to produce, then she won't be a successful academic. Interval.Previously year, I've coached more than 60 Ph.D. Prospects from computer that is diversified science to French literature to political research. And despite the variations in self-control and type of publishing, the procedure and my assistance stay the same. Everybody struggles with related emotional and complex troubles: delay, diversion, panic, structuring an argument, obtaining their voice, establishing theory and proof. It's very difficult work, this publishing -your- issue. The trick is always to not make it perhaps harder by avoiding the work itself.Dissertation Binding Staples

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews came up with an interesting way to describe what it was like playing with the club cast that covered his entire right hand in last Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
"It's kind of a like cat," Matthews said Thursday. "Cut its whiskers off, it just loses its balance."
Before anyone calls PETA to report him, Matthews said he's never done that to a cat.
"But I've heard that's what happens," he said. "That's how I felt. So you have to overcome that."
Or you have to get a smaller cast, which is what Matthews hopes to do on Sunday against the New York Giants. He has been practicing this week with a much smaller protective covering and expects to be able to use that against the Giants.
The new cast, which he said is made of a fiberglass-like material, allows Matthews to have the use of his fingers.
Against the Eagles, he couldn't grab anything with his right hand, and it showed in his performance. In his return after missing four games because of a broken right thumb, the four-time Pro Bowl linebacker was credited with just two tackles. He did not have a sack, quarterback hit or quarterback hurry.
ProFootballFocus.com, which breaks down every play of every NFL game, rated it as Matthews' worst performance of the season -- with an overall grade of minus-3.4 (including minus-2.8 against the run for his only losing performance on run defense of the season) -- and his worst overall game since Week 14 of the 2010 season against the Detroit Lions (with a career-worst of minus-4.8).
The coaches' grades weren't pretty, either, Matthews said, and he said he wasn't given special consideration because he was playing one-handed.
"That's how it is, and I understood," he said. "I don't want to be held to any exception, like, 'well, that's OK because you have one hand.' It's part of the deal. I had realistic expectations for myself going into that game, and it's obviously frustrating. But I felt like we did some things well, and at the same time we have to do some things better this next week, so hopefully that's the case."
Several times against the Eagles, Matthews could be seen trying to grab an opponent with his right hand only to realize that he had no grip.
Matthews conceded that he likely will have to wear some sort of protective device on his hands the rest of the season but said it should get smaller and less restrictive each week.
"I'm hoping with my fingers back, I'll be like a feline who got his whiskers back," Matthews said, "and then I'll be able to be more spry out there."
