Lining Furniture with Fabric
I found this toile fabric called "Spa Day" and used it as my inspiration for the design. I couldn't find an exact link to the fabric that I used, but this one is similar in design and color. If you click on the link then it will also display similar patterns.
I painted the exterior (click the link to see that blog post) of the piece before working on the interior. I wanted to make sure that I was happy with how the exterior coordinated with the fabric before going further. Once I was happy with the design, it was time to work on the interior. I gave the entire interior a base coat of Old Ochre.
Prior to cutting the fabric, I measured the interior panels and created my own patterns on pattern fabric. Creating a pattern beforehand allowed me to test out the sizes prior to cutting the more expensive fabric. The panels were different sizes, so I labeled each "right", "left", and "back" to keep things straight in my mind.
I taped the panel patterns to the inside of the armoire to make sure they fit perfectly. Next I laid out the patterns on my fabric to make sure I had enough fabric prior to cutting. It took a bit of re-positioning to make sure the layouts were correct. Luckily I was able to play around with the panel patterns enough to get three panels.
I ironed the fabric prior to cutting.
Since I wasn't lining the bottom, I covered the area with a piece of cardboard to protect it from any drips from the adhesive. I applied Mod Podge with a brush to one of the panels and then lined my fabric up at the top then unfolded it and smoothed it downwards towards the bottom.
The fabric adhered well and there wasn't much time for re-positioning it. I used painter's tape to help hold it in place until the glue was completely dry.
I started with the back panel and then repeated the process on the left and right panels.
Here's the wardrobe section with the fabric peeking through. I love the new boutique style finish. It's so much better than the old dirty finish!
The supply list follows this one last look at the before and after. What a difference paint and fabric can make! Thank you so much for following along with this project.

Game news:Inner Peace
From Fallcoast
Inner Peace ••
Prerequisite: Meditative Mind •
Effect: There are no shortcuts to inner peace, but you have found a way to keep an inner peace even while going about your regular life. You may attempt to tap your inner peace as an instant action once per scene. This merit allows you to gain one of the benefits of Meditation in a single instant action roll, as long as the required successes are met. This is distinct from any other meditation attempts.
- Roll: Composure + Wits + equipment (as per ordinary meditation).
- Action: Instant (successes needed dependant on benefit trying to achieve)
- Dramatic Failure: You have disrupted your inner peace. All attempts at meditation automatically fail for the next day.
- Failure: You are unable to swiftly tap into your inner peace. Any further attempts to access the benefits of meditation must be done through normal lengthy meditation.
- Success: You successfully tap into your inner peace and are now meditating. This may be used for only one of the benefits of meditation, should more than one option be open to your character.
- Exceptional Success: No additional benefit beyond what extra successes would grant you.
- Meditation Benefits Affected
- Meditation - Trying to gain the standard benefit to degeneration rolls.
- Astral Adept - Attempting to reach the Oneiros.
- Contracts of Punishing Summer: Scorched Earth - Location requirements unchanged.
- Reborn - Attempts to activate Akashic Record.

When I think about gardens, I think of my mom's yard.
Potato plants like ferns. Carrots plants like pine saplings. Tomato plants dripping with fruit. Onion plants that stand higher than the back fence. Enough cucumber plants to keep Bicks in business for at least six months. All in rows so straight an OCD Prussian would be impressed – and nary a weed to be found. My then-eight-year-old daughter galonking along in her Thanksgiving dress and rubber boots, picking and eating onion leaves or a filthy – and yet pristine – carrot.
The word 'garden' to me means 'vegetable garden'.
But for plenty of other people, the G-word is used to describe many environments other than the place we grow veggies. It can also refer to what I call 'flower beds', or even the whole yard.
My definition seems rather narrow when I think of it in that context, but it also feels right to me – regardless of the fact that my friends Oxford, Webster and even Wiktionary say otherwise!
I might not always quibble out loud about it when someone uses the G-word improperly (sez I), but I might still get hung up on it enough that it distracts me from fully engaging with the conversation – or even enjoying the garden (or yard) I'm sitting in!
And in a similar way, I wonder if the way I see God's creation – and define the term 'God's people' – is narrower than God's view of these things. I wonder if that's true for some of you as well.
Are we missing out on the joy that comes from experiencing community with God's people by fussing about who is and isn't in that category?
Just askin'.
† † †
One thing I really admire about gardeners is that they know their place in the universe.
Gardeners do their part – they plant, water, weed, fertilize, prune and harvest – but gardeners don't make the crops grow, God does.
'I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.' – 1 Corinthians 3:6-7
The gardener controls what she can, but all of her actions are done in response to what God (or Nature, if you're uncomfortable with that particular G-word) has already done and can be relied on to continue to do. It's a partnership, but one in which the gardener is unquestionably the junior partner, and both parties are satisfied with the arrangement.
As is illustrated in Paul's words of wisdom in the quote above, gardening is a great illustration of the Christian life overall, isn't it?
Our words and actions – the way we treat others and intentionally help them connect with the Living Water of Christ – are like the work of a faithful gardener who does her part in collaboration with her fellow gardeners, and with God. But when we have our heads on straight, we don't forget that it's not our jobs to cause the seeds to germinate and take root; for the plants we sow to take up moisture and nutrients – that's all God's job.
And thank God for that!
But on the same token, God has chosen to delegate the responsibility of tending the garden to us.
Without us, there is no garden!
Just a bunch of crabgrass and dandelions, with an occasional carrot or potato plant growing defiantly here or there.
The harvest in such a would-be garden is pitiful, not plentiful.
And I think that's just as true with spiritual gardening as it with regular gardening – and that means being God's gardener is a wondrous invitation, but it's also a tremendous responsibility.
Peace be with you.

We report the demonstration of a diode-pumped chirped pulse amplification Yb:YAG laser that produces pulses of up to 1.5 J energy compressible to sub-5 ps duration at a repetition rate of 500 Hz (750 W average power). Amplification to high energy takes place in cryogenically cooled Yb:YAG active mirrors designed for kilowatt average power laser operation. This compact laser system will enable new advances in high-average-power ultrashort-pulse lasers and high-repetition-rate tabletop soft -ray lasers. As a first application, the laser was used to pump a 400 Hz laser.

By Sarah Ernst
Within hours of becoming a first-time mother to our newborn son Braden, I quickly discovered the power of the "mom network." A friend-of-a-friend called me the day Braden was born and had heard that Braden was born with bilateral club feet. She, too, was the mother of a club foot baby, and her first piece of advice was, "You need to find a doctor who is trained in the Ponseti Method, and the University of Iowa is where to go." I am still grateful to this day for the download of club foot information she gave me as we were feeling overwhelmed in making the right medical decisions for our son.
Six days later, we brought Braden to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics where he received his first club foot treatment. As timing had it, Braden was actually a live example for a Club Foot Conference going on at the University where Dr. Frederick Dietz and Dr. Ignacio Ponseti demonstrated Braden's initial casting of a club foot patient to doctors from around the world.
Braden was fortunate to only need three castings before his Achilles tenotomy and final casting when he was four weeks old. The final transition to the full-time brace seemed easy for Braden since he no longer had the heavy casts to lift, and making it a daily, and later, a nightly ritual was just part of putting his pajamas on. To this day, we joke that Braden had abs of steel when he wore that brace. He'd have his feet (in the brace) high up in the air when he woke up in the morning and loved to bang it on his crib mattress to tell us he was awake!
Braden never saw life differently than any other growing boy. He loved to run, play baseball, and shoot hoops with friends. When Braden was in middle school, he enjoyed much success running in cross country and long distance in track. He was even honored to win his age group in the 2014 Ponseti Races 5K where he wore his "Club Foot Kid" button with pride. Nowadays, you'll find Braden still practicing baseball in the backyard and playing with his high school team. Periodically, he has dealt with foot fatigue due to reduced flexibility, but short periods of therapy and orthotics keep him active and involved in sports.
Looking back, we recognize how fortunate we are to live so closely to the University of Iowa and to have been directed to the best, most natural, form of treatment for club feet. The Ponseti Method has definitely made Braden's life feel normal as he's continued to grow into an adult, and for motherly advice, we are so thankful!

Have you seen the awe inspiring photo of the Kazbegi Mountains towering over Gergeti Trinity Church aka the famous Kazbegi Church! .. if so I'm sure you will have already booked a one way ticket to Georgia, an alpine treasure of the Caucasus' which is so often overlooked by western eyes but who's allure was well known throughout the Soviet Union. To help you decide which of the many wonders of Georgia you will visit I will tell you why an Overnight Trip to Kazbegi National Park cannot be missed!
Photos of the Kazbegi Church are used to advertise Georgia, its wine, mineral water and holiday resorts all over ex Soviet countries…Except without all the cars (It was a religious holiday when I visited!)
Kazbegi National Park is located on the northern slopes of the mighty Caucasus range and at 5047 metres above sea level it is the third highest mountain in Georgia! The mountain road up here is one of the most breath-taking in the world but the passage, which now leads to Russia, was once also one of the most important in the world and has been fortified since at least 150 BC. Today the pass is still heavily guarded because of issues with nearby South Ossetia and since the 2008 Russian-Georgian War but unless you were looking you wouldn't even notice!
All you will see is pure, unadulterated nature – Take a big breath in, you'll feel better trust me!
The Kazbegi Mountains also have a special place in Georgian and Greek mythology as the Titan Prometheus was chained to a mountainside in the Caucasus for all eternity as punishment for teaching mankind how to make fire. Given the hot springs and acidic lakes which populate the mountainside, and the frequent earth tremors, I can see why this myth persists even today!
The mountain is even home to 3 glaciers for those that care to seek them out! Not as pretty and blue as I would have expected mind you!
Gergeti Trinity Church, however, is the main undeniable attraction here, and while I implore you to explore wider afield on an overnight trip to Kazbegi, it is undeniably gorgeous. One of the best places to visit in all of Georgia!
An architectural feat of the 13th century perched at 2200m above the town watching over the passageway while being watched by the solitary mountains. The location is more of the attraction than anything else but of course, pop your head in to admire the frescos and smell of burning incense!
Getting to Geghard Monestary is rather straight forward. You can catch either a taxi or bus from Didube Metro station (დიდუბე) in Tbilisi to the town of Stepantsminda however it's most well known just to say Kazbegi. Marshrutky (minibuses) will cost 10 GEL and taxi is negotiable. It should be 50 GEL per car including a few stops along the way at the attractions but be prepared to bargain hard and walk away. Both options take around 2.5 hours without stops.
If you enjoy reading about the Kazbegi National Park you might also enjoy these other similar articles!
[photosetgrid layout="2″]
If you have even more time to extend your overnight trip to Kazbegi National Park, the area also offers longer glacier hikes, paragliding or trekking over mountain passes to remote villages! Its really up to you, as much or as little as you want…I for one can't wait to go back and hire a horse, galloping across the hilltops! Or more likely sipping wine from the guesthouse…But with a view like this who can blame me!

Remove legal hurdles in path of Ram Temple in Ayodhya: RSS
Hyderabad, Oct 25: RSS today said it is Hindu society's "desire" that a Ram Temple be built in Ayodhya and called for removing all legal hurdles to fulfil this wish.
"Hindu Samaj desires that there should be a Ram Mandir there (in Ayodhya). Whatever the legal problems are, they need to be sorted out and a Ram temple be constructed...that is what we all desire.
The matter is pending before the Supreme Court," RSS General Secretary Suresh Bhayyaji Joshi said. Joshi was talking to reporters at the conclusion of a three-day national executive meeting of the pro-Hindutva organisation here.
He said the Ram Mandir issue has been there for the past over 30 years and it would be wrong to link it to the upcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. "Since 1984 this movement is going on across the country (for constructing Ram Mandir)...there is nothing new.
There is some delay due to court cases," said Joshi. The RSS leader said after the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgement, it is difficult to build any other structure except for a Ram Temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.
("Lucknow court ke decision ke baad, waha par Ram Mandir ke alava aur kuch bhi hona mushkil hain)." The Lucknow bench of HC had then ruled the 2.77 acre disputed land in Ayodhya be divided into three parts among Hindus and Muslims.
It also held the place where the makeshift temple of Lord Ram currently exists belongs to Hindus. On 'gau raksha' issue, Joshi said the RSS has been stressing on cow protection since long.
"It is not an emotional issue but associated with the country's economic growth," he said, adding "cow protectors" should also be given protection. The government should take necessary steps to save and develop indigenous cow breeds, Joshi said.

How Prepared is Your Country to Withstand and Respond to Change?
KPMG's 2013 Change Readiness Index (CRI), produced in partnership with Oxford Economics, ranks 90 countries, measuring them across 26 components to compare capabilities in the areas of enterprise (business environment), government, and people and civil society (social and human capital). The study is unprecedented in its scope and unique in its consideration of change readiness. KPMG's analysis of 90 countries finds that wealth alone doesn't predict a country's readiness for inevitable shocks and long-term change.
The study brings fresh insight to the capacity of countries to respond to change, caused by shocks such as natural disasters or longer-term trends like technology, demographics, global competition, and investment.
Top 20 CRI Rankings
- Singapore
- Sweden
- Qatar
- New Zealand
- Germany
- Israel
- Japan
- Saudi Arabia
- Australia
- United Kingdrom
- Chile
- United States
- Taiwan
- South Korea
- France
- Thailand
- Lithuania
- Philippines
- Panama
- Kazakhstan
The countries ranked highest in the CRI reflect a diversity of locations and size, while sharing many of the same qualities essential to change readiness: dynamic business environment, stable and effective governments, skilled populations, and strong civil societies.
"A nation's ability to respond to change is increasingly important to its success in building a sustainable economy and equitable society," said Timothy A.A. Stiles, KPMG's Global Chair of International Development Assistance Services and a partner with KPMG in the U.S. "The CRI can be a vital tool for governments, the development community, and business to make more informed decisions, whether on potential reforms or policy changes, managing risks, or making investments."
2013 Rankings Reveal Disparities
Among the key findings, the CRI revealed that a country's wealth is not always a determining indicator of its ability to respond to and manage change, with a number of lower income countries ranked as having greater change readiness capability than some more "developed" countries. For example, Chile, categorized as an upper-middle income country, ranked as high or higher in the index than many high income countries, including the United States and France.
Several lower-middle income countries, including Panama and the Philippines, outperformed some higher-income countries in the rankings, placing above Italy, Poland, Brazil and China.
"Wealth and high per capita income are closely correlated with change readiness, but income is not an insurmountable barrier to enhanced economic and social resilience," said KPMG's Stiles. "This is an encouraging message for lower income countries, where strong institutions and governance can provide stability in time of stress and potentially open the door to new opportunity."
The Index also supports a finding that change readiness can be maintained, and perhaps even strengthened in the face of short-term shocks, such as natural disaster. Japan notably ranked seventh in the CRI, showing particular strength in its enterprise capability.
Scope of the 2013 Change Readiness Index
The 2013 Change Readiness Index expands the scope of KPMG's 2012 Index to include developed countries, includes input from more than 500 interviews with experts worldwide from a range of backgrounds and more than 70 secondary data variables, including from sources like the World Economic Forum, World Bank, Economist Intelligence Unit, World Health Organization, and UNESCO.
"The range of content, volume of personal interviews, and depth and breadth of data sourced for this survey has been endorsed by an expert panel and has greatly enhanced the value of the CRI," said Adrian Cooper, CEO of Oxford Economics. "The CRI provides an excellent foundation for continuing analysis and greater dialogue around the topic of change readiness."

One of the themes of this blog is that white collar crime can be as costly, (or even more costly, in some cases), as violent, street crime. As an example, consider the sad case of Amando Fontaine, a crime victim in Miami, Florida. According to various news reports, Mr. Fontaine's car was stolen from outside his home earlier this week. Motor vehicle theft is bad enough. But this crime reportedly cost Mr. Fontaine more than just his car.
According to reports, Mr. Fontaine, an Army veteran, also lost his prosthetic legs and wheelchair mount, which were located inside the stolen car. Now, Mr. Fontaine will reportedly have problems in keeping his doctor appointments and simple getting around otherwise, too.
Here's hoping that Mr. Fontaine's car will soon be recovered. As you see, white collar crime can be very costly to its victims.


text: Software & Apps Design Adobe Photoshop Tools Learn the basics of the most popular photo editor by Eric Miller Writer Eric Miller is a former Lifewire writer, freelance graphic designer, and owner of a web development and graphic design studio established in 1998. our editorial process Twitter Eric Miller Updated on April 29, 2020 Design Graphic Design Photoshop Animation & Video 3D Design Tweet Share Email The tools available on the Photoshop toolbar and menus are the basis for working in the software. You use them to create and modify elements of an image, whether it's a photograph or an original composition. Here's a quick rundown on how to use some of the most basic and commonly used tools in Photoshop. These instructions apply to Photoshop CS5 and later. Menu items and keyboard commands may differ between versions. The Move Tool The Move tool is the one you'll likely use the most when you're editing images in Photoshop. Use it to adjust the locations of entire layers or smaller areas you've selected using one of the other tools. Press V on the keyboard to select it. With the Move tool selected, you can use the arrow keys to nudge an object in smaller, more precise intervals. This method helps you make fine adjustments that would be more difficult with the mouse. The Marquee Tool The Photoshop Marquee tool is essential for several tasks. At the most basic level, you use marquees to select areas of an image, which you can then copy, move, cut, or crop. You can also use this tool to specify areas that you want to fill in or add strokes (lines) to. Press M on your keyboard to select it, and press Shift-M to cycle between marquee shapes. The Marquee tool has four types you can use: rectangular, elliptical, a single row, or a single column. The Lasso Tool Like the Marquee tool, you use the Lasso to select an area. But instead of highlighting fixed shapes or lines, it lets you be a little more free with your selection. The regular Lasso is a freehand tool that selects the entire area you define with your mouse. The Polygonal Lasso lets you define a space based on a series of lines. And the Magnetic Lasso automatically generates a line that "sticks" to an object you're highlighting. Press L on your keyboard to use the Lasso tool, and use Shift-L to cycle through the three types of lassos. The Magic Wand If you're trying to quickly change a color scheme or remove the background from an image, the Magic Wand will make things easier. When you click an image with it, it automatically selects that spot and every adjacent one of the same color. It's handy for quickly highlighting a large, possibly irregular area without having to try to trace it perfectly with the Lasso. The Magic Wand's keyboard shortcut is W. The Crop Tool The Photoshop Crop tool serves two main purposes. The first is to cut out an area of an image by selecting the area that you wish to keep. You can also use the Slice tool in the same menu (press C to select it and Shift-C to cycle through them) to split your image into several compartments, like slicing a rectangular cake. The Slice Select tool lets you rearrange the slices (i.e., the lines you created and not their contents). The Eyedropper The Eyedropper is convenient when you want to perfectly match a color either in your project or from somewhere else. When you click with the Eyedropper, it samples the color of the spot you're selecting and automatically loads it into the background spot in the Color Switcher at the bottom of the Tools menu. Press I to select it. The Photoshop Save for Web Tool As a graphic designer, you may often be asked to deliver web-ready images, such as photos for a website or banner ads. The Photoshop "Save for Web" tool is a simple and easy way to prepare your JPEG files for the web, helping with the trade-off between file size and image quality.

List Building – 3 Latest Strategies For Massive List Building
A list of prospects allows you to make money almost on demand. Most marketers are lost when they have to generate a list of prospect to sell their latest product. However, experienced marketers know that if you invest in building a list, you have a ready audience for your new products.
The greatest online marketers realize that they are not in the business of selling products but in the business of building lists and developing life long relationships with them. When you offer people what is important to them, they will be glad to relate to you and also buy your products. I will share with you how the best brains in the market develop their list and keep on increasing it.
1. If you are offering a niche product with a well defined set of people interested in it, then you have a willing audience. And you do not even have to tell them how important you are for them. They will always expect you to tell them what is useful and what solves their problems. When they join your list, they are going to expect your emails and what's more they will be waiting for your next communication. All you need to do is to generate quality content and keep sending it to your list on a regular basis. You can change the pattern of sending just to keep the surprise element. For instance, you can send emails every 2 days then every 3 days and then alternate between 2 and 3 days. Using an auto-responder can make this a lot easier.
2. Encourage your members to share your emails to others they think might benefit. In fact without your telling this explicitly, they will anyway forward your exciting offers and valuable information to others in their circle. Then those people will join your list. This is the classic viral marketing method. There are ways to write your message in such a manner that will propagate it to hundreds of thousands of people within a matter of days. Another way to build list is to share your expertise in social networking sites like Twitter and My-Space.
3. Invent new means of attracting prospects. The most popular way is to offer a freebie in exchange for the email id. You can keep providing a new freebie whenever you feel you have exhausted the potential of the earlier one. You can choose to give a series of emails free or a free e-book or a free video training. The possibilities are limitless.
Remember that more the people you have in your list, more will be your revenues.

In a recent exchange on LinkedIn's popular DatacenterDynamics Global Discussion forum, a well-publicized and storm-related power outage (which caused major downtime at a primary Amazon Cloud data center in the U.S. Northeast) prompted an intriguing question: "Is it time for more off-grid options for data centers?"
Worldwide comments ranged from the pragmatic ("having off-grid capabilities is an interesting academic argument, but the majority of operators simply do not (and cannot) have this option available"), quizzical ("are we talking on-site [power] generation or green energy source?") to prognostic ("perhaps the future is not monolithic energy-hungry data centers at all, perhaps the future is smaller modules, powered by renewable energy from local communities…").
While it's not surprising to see differing opinions towards a relatively new development in the marketplace, the varied response to modular data centers does invite deeper examination:
Understanding – by definition, a modular data center is a portable method of deploying data center capacity, anywhere that capacity is needed.
Variation – not all modular data centers are created equal. While some mimic the containerized style of a semi-truck tractor trailer (see image below), newer styles are beginning to push the envelope on small-sized mobility, while others still are re-writing the book on where these units reside (some as stand-alone, "off the grid" type deployments, others more at home under the roof of a traditional, warehouse style installation)Application – while some of the first modular data centers were developed by the likes of HP, IBM and Cisco for flexible alternatives to mega-scale infrastructures, mid- to small-level companies are generating new demand in modular offerings (some even built around colocation platforms) that offer traditional support at fractions of the traditional cost. Furthermore, the notion of 'traditional' support is itself being revolutionized by the ability to deploy modular units in remote and mission critical physical spaces (think sporting events, war zones).
Milestones – while traditional data center build times factor in multiple deadlines and construction phases, modular offerings are typically ready to deploy on day one. In this fashion, a stand-alone unit simply requires the proper power and network hook-ups necessary for "plug and play" type convenience.
Join us tomorrow for part two of our three-part modular series. We'll be exploring the challenges of maintaining uptime in increasingly complex infrastructures and how data center mobility seeks to alleviate the dilemma. Jeff Cihocki, Global eContent Specialist

Peter Parker & Tony Stark Reunite in Heartwarming Avengers: Endgame Set Video
Posted 2019/05/13 9 0
Robert Downey Jr. might have the best Avengers: Endgame behind-the-scenes footage out of the whole cast. The Iron Man actor has been sharing a lot of awesome pictures and videos, but he just shared an epic video of Tony Stark's reunion with Peter Parker and another set of pictures featuring Stark's great sacrifice. Chris Evans and the rest of the Endgame cast have been filling social media with all kinds of gems lately, almost competing to show who has the best stuff. Now, it looks like Evans might have to step up his game…
When things take a dark turn during the second battle with Thanos, the Decimated heroes all appear on the battlefield, which made for a triumphant scene. However, Marvel Cinematic Universe fans were waiting to see Tony Stark and Peter Parker reunite and they were not disappointed in the slightest. Robert Downey Jr. has shared a behind-the-scenes video of that moment without all of the CGI and digital trickery. It's RDJ and Tom Holland in funky costumes delivering a heartwarming scene.
The second thing Robert Downey Jr. shared on social media was a set of pictures depicting Tony Stark's snap at the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. Back towards the end of Infinity War, Doctor Strange was the only person who knew Stark was going to have to sacrifice himself to save the universe, which is why he wouldn't let Thanos kill him. Downey Jr. shared a series of images showing off the now iconic scene, again without any digital effects, it's just the actor in front of a green screen holding up his hand with an imaginary homemade Infinity Gauntlet on it.

Chris Evans recently shared a pretty great picture of himself in the makeup chair getting into his old man Steve Rogers character. This was another element of Avengers: Endgame which caused some waterworks amongst hardcore MCU fans. However, Evans' picture, where he's wearing a bald cap, shows off just how much fun he was having as he prepared for the passing of the shield scene. Unlike some of his castmates, Evans didn't have to endure the makeup chair process for a good portion of his day, unlike Karen Gillan or Zoe Saldana, who had to sit for hours every day to prepare for their scenes.
Robert Downey Jr. has elevated the Avengers: Endgame sharing of behind-the-scenes footage, so it will be interesting to see if anybody has something better. It seems the actor was allowed a lot more freedom to shoot some of this personal footage. Maybe he has some dirt on the Russo Brothers. Or maybe, it's just over the fact that he has been there since the beginning and helped to build the MCU and Marvel Studios to what they are today. Also, he never pulled a Tom Holland or Mark Ruffalo and spoiled anything. You can check out the Avengers: Endgame behind-the-scenes video and images below, thanks to Robert Downey Jr.'s Instagram account.

Tutorial: Balance internal traffic load with a Basic load balancer in the Azure portal
Load balancing provides a higher level of availability and scale by spreading incoming requests across virtual machines (VMs). You can use the Azure portal to create a Basic load balancer and balance internal traffic among VMs. This tutorial shows you how to create and configure an internal load balancer, back-end servers, and network resources at the Basic pricing tier.
If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.
If you prefer, you can do these steps using the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell instead of the portal.
To do the steps using this tutorial, sign in to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.
Create a VNet, back-end servers, and a test VM
First, create a virtual network (VNet). In the VNet, create two VMs to use for the back-end pool of your Basic load balancer, and a third VM to use for testing the load balancer.
Create a virtual network
On the upper-left side of the portal, select Create a resource > Networking > Virtual network.
In the Create virtual network pane, type or select these values:
- Name: Type MyVNet.
- ResourceGroup: Select Create new, then enter MyResourceGroupLB, and select OK.
- Subnet > Name: Type MyBackendSubnet.
Select Create.
Create virtual machines
On the upper-left side of the portal, select Create a resource > Compute > Windows Server 2016 Datacenter.
In Create a virtual machine, type or select the following values in the Basics tab:
- Subscription > Resource Group: Drop down and select MyResourceGroupLB.
- Instance Details > Virtual machine name: Type MyVM1.
- Instance Details > Availability Options:
- Drop down and select Availability set.
- Select Create new, type MyAvailabilitySet, and select OK.
Select the Networking tab, or select Next: Disks, then Next: Networking.
Make sure the following are selected:
- Virtual network: MyVNet
- Subnet: MyBackendSubnet
Under Network Security Group:
- Select Advanced.
- Drop down Configure network security group and select None.
Select the Management tab, or select Next > Management. Under Monitoring, set Boot diagnostics to Off.
Select Review + create.
Review the settings, and then select Create.
Follow the steps to create a second VM named MyVM2, with all the other settings the same as MyVM1.
Follow the steps again to create a third VM named MyTestVM.
Create a Basic load balancer
Create a Basic internal load balancer by using the portal. The name and IP address you create are automatically configured as the load balancer's front end.
On the upper-left side of the portal, select Create a resource > Networking > Load Balancer.
In the Basics tab of the Create load balancer page, enter or select the following information, accept the defaults for the remaining settings, and then select Review + create:
Setting Value Subscription Select your subscription. Resource group Select Create new and type MyResourceGroupLB in the text box. Name myLoadBalancer Region Select East US 2. Type Select Internal. SKU Select Basic. Virtual network Select MyVNet. IP address assignment Select Static. Private IP address Type an address that is in the address space of your virtual network and subnet, for example 10.3.0.7.
In the Review + create tab, click Create.
Create Basic load balancer resources
In this section, you configure load balancer settings for a back-end address pool and a health probe, and specify load balancer rules.
Create a back-end address pool
To distribute traffic to the VMs, the load balancer uses a back-end address pool. The back-end address pool contains the IP addresses of the virtual network interfaces (NICs) that are connected to the load balancer.
To create a back-end address pool that includes VM1 and VM2:
Select All resources on the left menu, and then select MyLoadBalancer from the resource list.
Under Settings, select Backend pools, and then select Add.
On the Add a backend pool page, type or select the following values:
- Name: Type MyBackendPool.
- Associated to: Drop down and select Virtual Machine.
Select Virtual Machine.
- Add MyVM1 and MyVM2 to the back-end pool.
- After you add each machine, drop down and select its Network IP configuration.
Do not add MyTestVM to the pool.
Select OK.
On the Backend pools page, expand MyBackendPool and make sure both VM1 and VM2 are listed.
Create a health probe
To allow the load balancer to monitor VM status, you use a health probe. The health probe dynamically adds or removes VMs from the load balancer rotation based on their response to health checks.
To create a health probe to monitor the health of the VMs:
Select All resources on the left menu, and then select MyLoadBalancer from the resource list.
Under Settings, select Health probes, and then select Add.
On the Add a health probe page, type or select the following values:
- Name: Type MyHealthProbe.
- Protocol: Drop down and select HTTP.
- Port: Type 80.
- Path: Accept / for the default URI. You can replace this value with any other URI.
- Interval: Type 15. Interval is the number of seconds between probe attempts.
- Unhealthy threshold: Type 2. This value is the number of consecutive probe failures that occur before a VM is considered unhealthy.
Select OK.
Create a load balancer rule
A load balancer rule defines how traffic is distributed to the VMs. The rule defines the front-end IP configuration for incoming traffic, the back-end IP pool to receive the traffic, and the required source and destination ports.
The load balancer rule named MyLoadBalancerRule listens to port 80 in the front-end LoadBalancerFrontEnd. The rule sends network traffic to the back-end address pool MyBackendPool, also on port 80.
To create the load balancer rule:
Select All resources on the left menu, and then select MyLoadBalancer from the resource list.
Under Settings, select Load balancing rules, and then select Add.
On the Add load balancing rule page, type or select the following values, if not already present:
- Name: Type MyLoadBalancerRule.
- Frontend IP address: Type LoadBalancerFrontEnd if not present.
- Protocol: Select TCP.
- Port: Type 80.
- Backend port: Type 80.
- Backend pool: Select MyBackendPool.
- Health probe: Select MyHealthProbe.
Select OK.
Test the load balancer
Install Internet Information Services (IIS) on the back-end servers, then use MyTestVM to test the load balancer using its private IP address. Each back-end VM serves a different version of the default IIS web page, so you can see the load balancer distribute requests between the two VMs.
In the portal, on the Overview page for MyLoadBalancer, find its IP address under Private IP Address. Hover over the address and select the Copy icon to copy it. In this example, it is 10.3.0.7.
Connect to the VMs with RDP
First, connect to all three VMs with Remote Desktop (RDP).
By default, the VMs already have the RDP (Remote Desktop) port open to allow remote desktop access.
To remote desktop (RDP) into the VMs:
In the portal, select All resources on the left menu. From the resource list, select each VM in the MyResourceGroupLB resource group.
On the Overview page, select Connect, and then select Download RDP file.
Open the RDP file you downloaded, and select Connect.
On the Windows Security screen, select More choices and then Use a different account.
Enter username and password and then select OK.
Respond Yes to any certificate prompt.
The VM desktop opens in a new window.
Install IIS and replace the default IIS page on the back-end VMs
On each back-end server, use PowerShell to install IIS and replace the default IIS web page with a customized page.
You can also use the Add Roles and Features Wizard in Server Manager to install IIS.
To install IIS and update the default web page with PowerShell:
On MyVM1 and on MyVM2, launch Windows PowerShell from the Start menu.
Run the following commands to install IIS and replace the default IIS web page:
# Install IIS Install-WindowsFeature -name Web-Server -IncludeManagementTools # Remove default htm file remove-item C:\inetpub\wwwroot\iisstart.htm #Add custom htm file Add-Content -Path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\iisstart.htm" -Value $("Hello World from " + $env:computername)
Close the RDP connections with MyVM1 and MyVM2 by selecting Disconnect. Do not shut down the VMs.
Test the load balancer
On MyTestVM, open Internet Explorer, and respond OK to any configuration prompts.
Paste or type the load balancer's private IP address (10.3.0.7) into the address bar of the browser.
The customized IIS web server default page appears in the browser. The message reads either Hello World from MyVM1, or Hello World from MyVM2.
Refresh the browser to see the load balancer distribute traffic across VMs. You may also need to clear your browser cache between attempts.
Sometimes the MyVM1 page appears, and other times the MyVM2 page appears, as the load balancer distributes the requests to each back-end VM.
Clean up resources
To delete the load balancer and all related resources when you no longer need them, open the MyResourceGroupLB resource group and select Delete resource group.
Next steps
In this tutorial, you created a Basic-tier internal load balancer. You created and configured network resources, back-end servers, a health probe, and rules for the load balancer. You installed IIS on the back-end VMs and used a test VM to test the load balancer in the browser.
Next, learn how to load balance VMs across availability zones.

Open Academics Analytics Initiative talk. The goal of this study was the creation of an early alert system to predict at risk students in the initial weeks of a course, and then to deploy intervention strategies to enhance student chances of success. Used SAT scores, demographics, Sakai log data and Sakai grade book as indicators.
Ran various pilots over 70+ courses over 2 semesters. They also wanted to find what intervention strategies were most effective. The model appears to be portable and scalable. once identified, needed to make an intervention with students thought to be at risk. The test included a control group who received no intervention, one group received an academic alert and the other group received similar messages and access to online resources. No real difference between the 2 groups who received contact of some sort. In the intervention groups, there was also a higher withdrawal rate which suggested that students made aware that they were at risk could use that information to make an informed decision.
Key lessons:
- Early feedback is important
- despite poor grades, some students do not recognise that they are at risk
- Typically, students in large groups do not receive as much attention as students in small groups, therefore this system was helpful in identifying students needing help

Selling Information OR Giving it Away for Free?
Building a Turbo-Charged Consulting Business
Want to get paid to give advice? This is the program for you. Learn the inside secrets to getting paid to consult, regardless of the field you're in.
Consult With Fred Gleeck
Want to get some advice DIRECTLY from me? Find out how I can help you (one-on-one) with YOUR business. The rates are surprisingly affordable!
Build Your Info Products Business
This 2 day program shows you everything you need to know about starting and building a successful info products business. Nothing is left to chance.
If I were asked to come up with my SINGLE best idea in the information marketing business, there would be only ONE possible answer. Over the course of 18 months I built a MASSIVE subscriber list by giving away a number of my books in ebook form at FredGleeck.com/ebooks. In about a year and a half, I got over 75,000 people t opt-in to my list.
So, the question remains: Should you sell information or give it away for nothing? The answer is BOTH!
In order to get people to buy, you have to get them to believe that YOU are a knowledgeable expert in your field. How do you do this? A number of different ways. Testimonials are great. Client lists are fine. But the ONE thing that can SEAL THE DEAL is if you give them some of your "stuff" for free. AND . . . it's good!
So much of what I see people giving away is AWFUL! They somehow think that since they aren't charging for it they really don't have to care how good it is. Bad idea. Some of the major "gurus" are at fault here as well. I'm seen CRAP from them on many an occasion.
First, ask yourself what you're trying to SELL. Will it be a coaching program? A high priced event? What is it that you want people BUY? I know, you want them to buy everything. BUT, what do you REALLY want them to buy? After they buy THAT?
In my own case, it's fairly straightforward. I want people to pay to attend a bootcamp and then have some of those folks JV with me.
So, I give away a BUNCH of stuff. Ebooks, audios, videos. A whole bunch of stuff.
What should YOU do? First decide what you REALLY want people to buy. THEN, develop some REALLY HIGH QUALITY stuff to give them for free. Make sure that it's downloadable.
I'm also going to be looking to ADD to my list of free items at FredGleeck.com/ebooks. I'm even thinking of asking others to contribute some valuable digital content that fits with my niche.
Give information away for free? Yes. Sell information? Yes. BOTH!

He teases "groundbreaking new" IP as well as "releases from our proven franchises" are being worked on. What IP sequels could be among the first to go next-gen?
Hopefully Rockstar Games has been holding back the likes of Agent for PlayStation 4, as well as that long rumoured production on Bully 2.
"We also have an extraordinary pipeline of titles in development for next-generation platforms," said Zelnick, "including groundbreaking new intellectual property and releases from our proven franchises. As a result, our current outlook is to be profitable on a non-GAAP basis in fiscal 2015 and for the foreseeable future."
All this talk comes from Take-Two's latest investor call which saw the publisher enjoy $1.2bn in revenue for FY2013. Unfortunately we won't get a peek at anything for quite a while, and certainly not at E3 in June.

Dir: Greta Gerwig
Starring Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalfe, Timothee Chalamet, Lucas Hedges, Tracy Letts, Lois Smith
From the moment Saoirse Ronan throws herself out of a speeding car in pure frustration at talking to her mother, you just know that Greta Gerwig's feature directing debut is going to be something special. (Don't worry – that bit's in the trailer.) A never better Ronan is Christine, although she has given herself the name "Lady Bird," part of her attempt to escape what she sees as the stultifying life she is forced to live in Sacremento. As high school rushes toward its climax, with all the real-world uncertainty that brings, she is desperate to move away from all she knows into the altogether much more intellectually satisfying environs of the east coast Ivy League, schools that everyone is only too quick to assure here she will never get into. Top of that particular cheer leading squad is her mother, brilliantly played by Laurie Metcalfe, with a deadpan world-weariness and pragmatism that is straight up hilarious, moving in a hair's breath into prickly, beaten, sad and deeply moving. The interplay between these two actresses is the backbone of Gerwig's extremely adroit comedy, one that is as warm and moving as it is laugh out loud funny. This is an end of high school comedy, much in the same manner as Cameron Crowe's Say Anything was, and captures the uncertainty of such times and the intrusion of life itself in beautiful detail.
Semi-autobiographical to a point, we already knew how good a writer Gerwig was from her various collaborations with Noah Baumbach. Here she establishes herself as a directorial force to be reckoned with, drawing top level performances from all her cast, and creating moments that flow as a complete and satisfying whole, rather than merely strung together incidental vignettes. Her film has a passion to it that is perfectly reflected in Ronan and her wonderful central performance.
Go on - give it the Best Picture Oscar. You know it's the right thing to do.

Pete Doherty is set to play a tribute gig dedicated to Johnny 'Rhythm' Sedassy, the London gig promoter who died last month.
Sedassy put on numerous gigs at Whitechapel's Rhythm Factory by artists including The Libertines, Babyshambles, Pete Doherty, The Noisettes, Razorlight, Selfish Cunt and The View.
His nights provided a crucial (and largely unrecognised) foundation for the scene that formed in London following The Libertines' release of their debut album 'Up The Bracket'.
The promoter passed away on March 16 after battling bowel cancer.
Pete Doherty, The Paddingtons, Red Roots, Melody Nelson are all confirmed to play the Rhythm Factory on May 15, with more acts to be announced.
The gig is in memory of Sadassy and also to raise awareness for the Sir Michael Sobell Charity in Oxtord, where the promoter spent his final days.
All acts playing at the show are donating their fees form the gig to the Sir Michael Sobell Charity, and all door takings will also be donated to the hospice.
Tickets are £25 in advance, or £30 on the door. See Rhythmfactory.co.uk for more information.
A Justgiving.com page has also been set up, should fans wish to donate online.

In Oologah, the Lady Bruin basketball team walloped Wagoner to advance to the championship final in the Oologah tourney.
Back in Bartlesville, the Bruin hoopsters and wrestlers each registered big home wins — the basketball team against Enid and the grapplers against Sapulpa.
Could be a great weekend, as well.

Julie Lynch: Feasibility Study for Nelson Place; in the third stage for that; Preferred Schematic Report completed.
now going through introductions
Overview of concerns from public, then schedule (if project approved), then progress made over summer, then Q&A
Reminder that School Building Committee update October 27; Meeting and vote December 8
Part of presentation to MSBA will be budget as well as project, "That's the number we have to stay with" once the project is approved
two level plan for 600 students, 100 staff + 20 staff visitors
"since we have last met, we have met in a lot of detail with the school and the school administrators...think we really have a plan that meets the program and a lot of what we have talked about in the past"
single entrance with central lobby with cafeteria and gym and librarynext to it; both accessible after hours, with rest of building able to be locked off
lower floor 5th and 6th grade looking over western side
upper floor 1st and 2nd grade with upper level
"school did feel it meets their program...feel that's important to know"
review site plan, next to neighborhood, answer questions you had the last time
went to ConCom a month and a half; wetland area was deliniated and bounded as flagged
test pits and test borings in August
geologic similar to maps from the 50's; ledge depths are much deeper than we had thought THUS LESS BLASTING
test pits and test borings in August
geologic similar to maps from the 50's; ledge depths are much deeper than we had thought THUS LESS BLASTING
bus drop-off reoriented closer to street
main access now aligned with Nelson Drive (?); two exits
secondary access in back; minimizing width with wider cleared space
minizing land taking at Hapgood; land taking and land giving based on "sheer geometry of site" at upper entrance
Looking at cladding that allows exterior of building to go up very quickly, take down gymnasium; move kids into new building; demolish old building and landscaping
parking during construction: "city is entertaining 'construction manager at risk'...parking off site...once parking lot down, front area for play, parking behind the building, teachers and staff also parking off-site"
scheduling things to minimize noise; "obviously, you're all in the backyard, and that is noted"
Q: make-up air unit? (fresh air exchange) location of boiler. Try to minimize heat leaving the building
energy recovery units? yes, with all the major units. Some of work-up showing numbers similar to buildings considered net zero
Q: access road? Paving material? Haven't decided yet. Probably going ot be asphalt, haven't decided yet. Lighting? Plowing? Concerns about safety, possibly lighting; plowing will have to happen. Met with security consultant. Request for zero to no lighting on the access road, 100% permeable surface. "very difficult to operate in this climate" suggestion for grasscrete (which is, to editorialize for a moment, totally possible). Looking like there will be bollards to block off the road most of the time (that can be run over by a fire truck)
Q: will this building be a parking lot? Yes, part of it. People didn't want to see a sea of parking.
Suggestion that access road has low lighting (like a movie theater); would light pathway and be less intrusive
Q: could parking be moved around to front? Responding to neighborhood concerns in not having a sea of cars. Response that neighbors would rather see that than more trees come down.
This enables larger play space, "not just for schools but for the community"
Ledge? Can't speak to exactly where, will be some blasting on the site, geotechnic engineer very experienced. Pre-blast survey includes current building, including screwjacks and etc
Q: when blasting is done, students here? Try to do off-hours...."wouldn't speculate one way or another...will depend on where blasting is being done"
Q: structural safety of building during blasting? Still being monitored, assured that building in current condition is safer than it was built originally; other monitors brought in as well
Q: Radon? Worcester has high radon...underslab ventilation in place with vents on the roof. City View, Worcester Tech, North...have that...already in budget
Q: land on Hapgood? City asked to mitigate taking. Also space between driveway and backyards? moved up, "I'm going to guess, 40 feet" also "we don't have to take all that property and keep it...trying to mitigate as much as we can"
a bit of a back-and-forth here about specifics on visiblity, plantings...
Request that the back parking lot be reconsidered "That's trees and animals that are never going to come back" Looked again at parking regulations; less than half of what would normally be provided for a school building; more in keeping with green building "don't want to pave any more than we have to, either"
Q: an incentive to meet schedule? "Time is money" Also Owners Project Manager keeping track and on schedule
Q: cut and fill analysis? Yes, really rough "50,000 yards cut and fill...roughly equal" Q: how many truck trips? Hoping to keep much of material on site. Hope to reuse a lot of it
Q: are you required to have that access road? My understanding is not. Request that you leave that out. Is result of security consultant "in wake of Sandy Hook" for another access besides front access and beyond Assumption access (oh, for Pete's sake)
grade incline on back access road? Steep, is short version
Argument that the back road is unnecessary, also opens up to more use of woods, possibly by Assumption
Q: drainage? water flowing through wetlands from one to another. "No the two wetlands are absolutely not connected in any way or form...isolated land subject to flooding" No increase in post-flows than previous conditions. Underground detention system installed. Will look to file with ConCom next spring with detailed numbers.
Concern about current flooding already; blacktop increase leading to increase in waterflow (this at upper end of property running down onto and across Nelson Place Road now; bet it was a stream before we had houses here)
back and forth here about who sees the parking and who doesn't
Response that some schools bigger schools have less parking (to which the response is, 'and it's a big problem')
walking path along top of wall along Nelson Place (with fence along top if needed)
Q: could Hapgood get sidewalks? Not part of scope of work, but yes, good idea. DPW points out abutters would pay for sidewalk.
Q: Construction access? Probably along current gym.
Q: Roof? Partly flat (with solar panels) and sloped in parts for "charm" "significant portion of flat roof"
Long warranties on roofs installed on city buildings
And that's it

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE MINISTRY FOR TOURISM: 'Innovation and Creativity in the way we present our cultural assets are key for international tourism enhancement'
During the International Congress on World Civilizations and Creative Tourism in Sofia, Bulgaria jointly organised by the Bulgarian Ministry for Tourism and World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), the Minister for Tourism Edward Zammit Lewis participated at the High Level Meeting, moderated by CNN Anchor and Correspondent Max Foster.
The theme of the International Congress addressed how tourism and culture can bring to life the world civilizations in a more creative way. Both tourism and culture are key in safeguarding and promoting tangible and intangible heritage as well as generating socio-economic benefits for all stakeholders. During his intervention, the Minister for Tourism opened his address stating that the Digital Age has had a huge impact on how cultural and creative tourism are presented to travellers seeking the ultimate experience. During the past few years, almost everywhere in Europe has witnessed big efforts by public institutions and private bodies for converting the "physical cultural heritage" into "digital". The innovative and successful destination is the one which manages to capitalise on the advantages of digitisation and incorporate them in its tourist offer.
In a global society which increasingly needs to understand its rich past to confidently face the future, the impact of ancient civilisations on what constitutes contemporary societies is something that needs to be promoted and communicated. From the tourism perspective, such understanding can assist in fostering greater human understanding, reducing the prospects of conflict whilst giving due importance to the tangible and intangible heritage which are the foundations of our tourism experiences, said the Minister for Tourism.
On the eve of the International Congress, the Minister for Tourism Edward Zammit Lewis together with the the Bulgarian Minister for Tourism Nikolina Angelkova, UNWTO Secretary-General Dr Taleb Rifai, the Jordanian Princess Dana Firas addressed a press conference, which touched upon the subject matter of the conference and other contemporary issues in European tourism.
During his visit in Sofia, the Minister for Tourism Edward Zammit Lewis met the Prime Minister of Bulgaria Boyko Borisov during a private meeting with the group of dignitaries and Tourism Ministers from various countries from around the globe.
Furthermore, the Minister for Tourism had a bilateral meeting with the UNWTO Secretary-General Dr Taleb Rifai. Two events to be held in Malta in May 2017 in collaboration with the UNWTO were discussed. During one of the occasions UNWTO's Global Code of Ethics will be presented for adoption by the Maltese travel trade. The Maltese Tourism stakeholders and the UNWTO will be signing this Code which is a fundamental frame of reference for responsible and sustainable tourism.
The other event that will be complementary to the High Level Conference during the Presidency of the Council of the EU, is a Master Class to attract the Chinese tourism market to Mediterranean destinations. This initiative is timed to anticipate the EU's decision to declare 2018 as the year for European Union – China Tourism. The Malta masterclass will bring together a range of practitioners from industry including operators, airlines, those in accommodation and other experts. The Minister for Tourism expresses his belief that Malta can play a leading role in growing Chinese Tourism to the Mediterranean region as a means of reversing Europe's persistent loss in local tourism market shares which needs to be halted and reversed.
The Secretary General Dr Taleb Rifai extended his invitation to Minister for Tourism Edward Zammit Lewis to join UNWTO during the term of Malta's EU Presidency at an event during the FITUR in Madrid in January 2017 for the launching of the International Year for Sustainable Tourism for Development.
The Minister for Tourism mentioned that Malta's objective is to reach the two million tourist arrival milestone by the end of 2017, which is the fruit of hard work of innovative ideas in improving the tourism industry while implementing new policies.
In his concluding remarks, Minister for Tourism Edward Zammit Lewis explained that Malta's tourism competitiveness can only be sustained if growth is accompanied by the development of our human resources. To this end, the Ministry for Tourism has been engaging all employment-related stakeholders to secure their commitment towards measures designed to enhance the working conditions and the professional quality of those working in tourism.
The Minister for Tourism Edward Zammit Lewis was accompanied by Malta's Liason Officer to UNWTO Leslie Vella.

|Latin name
|Chaetodon multicinctus - Garrett, 1863
|Common name
|Pebbled butterflyfish
|Chaetodontidae - Chaetodon
|Central/West Pacific
|Max length
|12.0 cm (4.7")
As aquarium fish
Eats tubeworms
This species likes to eat tubeworms.
Can nibble at clams
This species sometimes nibbles at clams including Tridacna species.
Only eats coral polyps
This species eats mainly coral polyps and will not survive on a replacement food.
Therefore, unless one is willing to provide it with living corals, it will not survive in an aquarium!
Requires plenty of space for swimming.
This species revels in swimming and requires an aquarium with ample space.
Hiding places
This species needs good hiding places, for example, between live rocks.
Can coexist as a pair
They can live as a pair provided they are introduced simultaneously.
Genus description (Chaetodon)
Some species of the Chaetodon genus are grouped together in what is known as a "complex", since they are so very similar.
Regardless of resemblance, it is important to be able to distinguish them, as in some cases they vary greatly in their needs. Sometimes there are just small differences in colour or pattern, but in other instances it is vital to know where the fish originally come from.
Family description (Chaetodontidae)
The Butterflyfish are known for their attractive patterns and colours. They are closely related to Angelfishs, but can always be distinguished, as they lack the spines on each side of the head of the Angelfish.
A smaller group of these fish will seek out primairily soft corals, like Zoanthus. A larger part of the species will target different types of LPS corals. Butterflyfish are also known to seek out anemones, tubeworms and bristleworms.
Therefore it is important to choose the correct species in relation to the corals wanted, if one desires to keep Butterflyfish in a coral-aquarium.
Bristleworms, tubeworms and other small invertebrates are also a part of the diet for many Butterflyfish.
It can be problematic, with many of these species, to get them eating in the beginning, but many of the species cannot resist live zooplankton or live mussels with crushed shells. Another option is to mimic their natural behaviour by stuffing their food into coral skeletons or stones.
They ignore most other fish and are generally peaceful, therefore multiple Butterflyfish will have no problem living together. One should however be cautious about keeping similar species together unless they are a couple.
As these fish can be difficult to acclimatize and get feeding, it is important to buy healthy fish, to avoid having to deal with more problems. Make sure to check that they do not have parasites or any visible infections.
There are some species that should not be kept in an a aquarium, as they are food specialists and will almost always refuse to eat replacement foods. It can be possible to breed some species, which will eat frozen foods. Otherwise the only way to keep food specialists is by feeding them their natural diet, which consists of live SPS or LPS corals for example.

|I been buying cubes here for very long time, and never had a problem. I use to buy in somewhere else, but they constantly messing up my order. I think you guys(they) have the best customer service, in cubing website. I wanted to change one of my product of my order, and I thought it would be impossible to change it, but they had no problems with changing the order. Also the package came so fast, great shipping ! I think this is a great place to buy cubes, but I just i wished they were more cubes, but besides that its a great place to buy :)

|iCubeMart a Short Review
~Here is a short review on my experiences with the cubing store icubemart. I will be dealing with three topics of crucial importance. One being Shipping; Two being Product performance and product quality; and three being customer service and email response time. First of all, I have to compliment the packaging process and the overall attention to packaging detail. On a scale from 1-10 and 10 being the highest rating; I give the packaging process an absolute ten. The items were totally shielded from any and all shipping complications. I'd like to say that my shipment was double packed; meaning it was double protected from suffering any unwanted damage. Second is dealing with product performance. I would like to deal with just one puzzle on this short review that I purchased and that is the QJ Jing's Pyraminx. Again it came perfectly packed and the turning and click mechanism is amazing. The quality is superb and the plastic is heavy duty and elegantly durable. The sticker quality is very good and the sticker placement is curved and aligned. I am actually ordering the white version when it becomes available, to compliment the black QJ Jings Pyraminx. Third on this short review, is the icubemart customer service team. I can tell you this.. they are very knowledgeable with all your cubing inquiries; very prompt in answering emails and are very courteous to myself, a satisfied icubemart customer. In fact; while I was doing this quick review, icubemart just emailed me and said they would be ordering me the white QJ Jings Pyraminx. How cool is that? Have a Happy New Year and Happy Cubing!

In closing this short review; I would highly recommend icubemart, whether you are a twisty puzzle hobbyist, or a professional cubing champion. As for me, I can personally say, that they are a great cubing store.

|Short review of the YJ Guanlong's
|Here is a short review on the white and black YJ Guanlong puzzles. First off they are well worth the money. It surprised me to see how incredible these cubes are and for such an inexpensive price. They corner cut with no problem, no popping and no jamming. The sticker quality is pleasing to the eyes and they seem to be applied onto the faces pretty straight. The color shade schemes on the black cube are totally sweet and together with the white cube, they make a nice and complimentary pair. All in all; they are great cubes for finger tricking and going back to the old school cubing days, they are great for full hand turning. The pair in this review are high quality cubes at an affordable price; YJ Guanlong's are a nice cube for your cubing enjoyment and your cubing collection. Thanks ICubeMart!

|best cubing store in the history of the visible universe
|As a student, you can imagine that I probably don't always have that much money on hand-- and I hate to say it, but I can't stand waiting a long time for my cubes to come. This problem was solved by iCubemart. This store has one of the best selections of cubes that I've seen, and all for a reasonable price- not to mention that their processing and shipping is done in the blink of an eye. Well not that fast, but it's still insanely quick. This store is very friendly and professional, and the website looks awesome and I actually spend a lot of time just looking around their website. It's like one of those scavenger hunts, but with rubik's cubes and high quality photos. Anyways- I feel like this company is genuine, unlike some of the other ones out there. You can tell that there is a person running this and that they pour a lot into it, and I have to say that I really appreciate the effort. Ove rall, if you haven't bought something from iCubemart, you haven't lived.
