World's first successful 3D imaging of living tissue with a rigid endoscope,
- Realized with an optical scanner using KTN crystal -
New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization
NTT Advanced Technology Corporation
Osaka Univeristy (National University)
The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, President: Kazuo Furukawa, hereafter referred to as "NEDO") has, together with NTT Advanced Technology Corporation. (Head office: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President & CEO: George Kimura, hereinafter referred to as NTT-AT) and Osaka University (Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, President: Shojiro Nishio, hereafter referred to as Osaka University), developed a rigid endoscope driven by a KTN optical scanner that is compact, high speed with a low power consumption.
Using this rigid endoscope, we have succeeded in 3D imaging of living tissue for the first time in the world. This technology enables minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment.
1. Overview
KTN (potassium tantalite niobate)*1 crystal is a material with a special electro-optic effect*2 whose refractive index changes with voltage, have the largest such effect among existing materials. By this effect, deflection (scanning) of light can be realized with a voltage of 1/100 of that for conventional materials, and by using this for a device (optical scanner) for deflecting laser light, it is possible to realize a drive that is of significantly higher speed, small size and low power consumption.
In collaboration with NTT-AT and Osaka University, NEDO, as part of its "Clean Device Promotion Project," in partnership with NTT-AT and Osaka University, has developed a rigid endoscope*3 fitted with a newly designed lens, utilizing NTT-AT's two dimensional optical scanner (composed of 2 KTN optical scanners). By using this rigid endoscope in combinations with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)*4, we have successfully succeeded in 3D imaging of living tissue using a rigid endoscope for the first time ever.
Domestically, endoscopic surgeries have already exceed 170,000 operations. This newly developed 3D imaging endoscope will be able to be deployed to the endoscopic surgery conventional up to now, as well as robotic surgery and it is expected to be used in a wide range of medical fields. In the future, NTT-AT aims to develop this device for use in a wide range of medical applications related to endoscopic surgery, including orthopedic surgery, and will proceed to provide these to medical device manufacturers as diagnostic and therapeutic devices.
2. Currently Achieved Results
The rigid endoscope enables the acquisition of 3 dimensional images by combing the KTN optical scanner that capture the surface of the affected area in a planar manner, and the OCT that can observe living tissue in the depth direction of affected part with high definition. A lens with a diameter of 7mm and a length of 53mm is attached to the tip of the rigid endoscope to deliver laser light into the body. Imaging the affected part can be done by inserting this lens into the body from a small opening on the body surface. This time, however, we could acquire 3 dimensional images from the surface of the human finger without actually inserting the lens into the body. We were able to sufficiently image complicated internal structures such as sweat glands and dermis, so that a practical level of resolution was obtained (Fig. 2).
The rigid endoscope developed now is the result of making full use of the characteristics of [1]-[3] below of the KTN optical scanner.
[1] Compact and Transmissive KTN Scanner
The rigid endoscope developed at this time (Fig. 5) consists of 2 KTN optical scanners (Fig. 4). In order to scan the surface of the affected area in a planar manner, a combination of the 2 KTN optical scanners is required. The typical conventional optical scanner is a reflective type that reflects laser light with a mirror such as a polygon mirror*5 or MEMS*6, whereas the KTN optical scanner is a transmission type as shown in Fig. 4, and there is no need for a complex configuration such as reflecting back the laser light. For this reason, a small number of optical parts are linearly arranged along the optical axis of the laser light to achieve low loss, even weak return light from the affected part was detected with OCT without loss and high quality imaging is possible. This simple optical system makes it possible to realize a compact, lightweight rigid endoscope of 16 mm x 183 mm in length and weighing 60g, that can withstand long-term use.
[2] Stable operation with no moving parts
The KTN optical scanner is a new type of optical scanner that controls the refractive index distribution inside the crystal depending on the voltage input, and therefore has no mechanical moving parts like a polygon mirror of MEMS. For this reason, it excels in long-term reliability, and runs stably even over long-term use. Furthermore, since the main body does not vibrate at all, precise operation during surgery is possible and stable imaging is achieved.
[3] Low power consumption through operation by electro-optic effect
Since the KTN optical scanner operates by the electro-optical effect and the KTN optical scanner's crystal itself is a dielectric, current does not flow inside the crystal. For this reason, it is possible to reduce power consumption by 1/1000 compared to the currently most popular polygon mirror scanner and the Galvano scanner using convention OCT.
3. Plans from here on
From here on, we will conduct animal experiments and clinical trials to verify the device's practicality as medical equipment. In addition, we aim to develop it into use for a wide range of medical fields related to endoscopic surgery, and as well, for use as diagnostic instruments we will proceed to develop therapeutic devices that make effective use of laser light.
[Glossary of Terms]
(potassium tantalate niobate)
|An optical crystal with a composition of KTa1-xNbxO3. It is transparent in a wide wavelength range and has a large electro-optical effect.
|*2 Electro-optic effect
|A phenomenon where the refractive index is changed by applying voltage. In the Pockels effect the refractive index is proportional to voltage and in the Kerr effect, it is proportional to the square of voltage. KTN shows Kerr effect.
|*3 Rigid Endoscope
|A type of equipment used for endoscopic surgery, also called a video scope. A CCD camera and light guide are built into the tip of a metallic tube of about 10mm in diameter, and the light guide illuminates the affected part, observing it with the CCD. During surgery, a small hole is made in the affected part and the metal cylinder is inserted in the body, and the operation is performed with observing the image of the affect part.
*4 Optical Coherence Tomography
|A technology used to observe structures in the depth direction with high resolution and high speed using light coherence. It is a tomography technology which can obtain images with non-contact/non-invasive means using laser light, without any concerns of radiation exposure. In recent years, it has been a strong focus in ophthalmology and cardiovascular internal medicine and has become widely used in the medical field.
|*5 Polygon Mirror
|A polyhedron shaped rotating mirror. It rotates at a speed of several tens of thousands times per minute, and it can scan the laser light quickly in one direction. They are widely used in laser printers, etc.
|An abbreviation of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems which integrates mechanical element parts, sensors and actuator electronic circuits on a board. MEMS that incorporate mirrors and enable 2 dimensional optical scanning are widely used for projectors and similar uses.

We have our house for sale in an effort to move closer to my husband's new job. It is not an easy task to keep a house "show" ready with an active family of four, two of those family members being 7 and 3.
I was organizing my recipe books, a project I've wanted to do for years, but never had the time, when I came across a recipe for jalapeno jelly. My pepper plants are full of red and green jalapenos right now so I thought why not? I had the jalapenos and bell peppers in my garden and sugar and cider vinegar in the pantry. All I needed was some pectin, limes and cute jelly jars...easy enough! Look at that picture. It looks like a bomb went off in my kitchen. It was Saturday afternoon, and all I kept thinking was what if someone called and wanted to come see the house in an hour. Lucky (or maybe unlucky) for us, no one called. I shouldn't have worried anyway. Apparently, there are no home buyers right now.
This week's market report from our Realtor shows a 22 month inventory of available homes. Just in our zip code there are one hundred thirty-six homes available for sell, and only 6 homes in our listing price range sold last month. I know it only takes one buyer, but it's very frustrating nonetheless.
So, how did my jelly turn out. Beautiful, aside from the fact that this was all I got from that mess I made. Can't wait though to try it with some cream cheese and crackers over the holidays, or maybe even served as a relish with a roast. Next up, the green pepper jelly, and another huge mess to clean up.
We've been on a strict avoidance of all peanut products since my daughter was diagnosed with an allergy at 18 months. Abigail is now 9 and our family is blessed to be participating in a Clinical Trial at Duke Hospital (now UNC Hospital). Reading every label on every food item I purchase has also given me a strong sense of what it takes to eat healthy. So, here's our journey to eating healthy and becoming peanut allergy free!

Just wanted to say that the pan that I baked it in was too big so its not as high as it should have been but this is a really good recipe it has that good southerner vibe and that good red velvet sweetness too. I hope if anyone decides to bake it they really like it because I haven't met anyone who's hated it so please vote even if there's probably a million entries I'd really like a shot thanks
this cake is by far the best in the wold 2 me its so perfect in so many ways

Everything You Need To Know About Bail Bonds
If you got caught committing a crime or doing something contrary to law, the most challenging part is getting detained after an arrest because the court often requires you to pay a certain amount of money as bail in order for you to be released and most of the time, the bail can cost you a lot. If you have no cash on hand or an emergency fund that you can easily access whenever you are caught it this situation, things can be pretty tough for you. The best option for you if you are caught in this situation is having a bondsman secure your bail so that you can be released as soon as possible. These bondsmen also take care of the entire bailing process to make things easier for you aside from securing the money for your bail.
These bondsmen render bail bond services and they are mostly part of a surety bond agency or company that makes sure that every defendant detained or arrested gets his bail taken care of most especially if he is financially challenged. The judge usually fixes a certain amount of money for your bail amount and this is what the bondsman takes care of. Most bondsmen take care of a certain percentage of the bail and secure the rest with collateral from your real or personal properties like car, house and many others.
A bail bond caters to criminal and civil cases and for every defendant, there is a bail bond available to help them regardless of the nature of their offense. If you are the defendant of a criminal offense, you can get the criminal bail bond and the bondsman takes care of all the fines and penalties charged by the court for your criminal offense. For civil cases, you can also get a civil bail bond that takes care of the payment of your debts as well as other damages including moral, temperate, nominal, actual, exemplary and liquidated ones.
If after an arrest or detention you cannot guarantee your release due to lack of money for bail, you don't have to worry anymore because if you avail the services of a surety bond agency, you can make sure that all your bailing needs are covered and secured. But if you are looking for the perfect surety bond agency that can cater to all your bailing needs, you have to make sure that the company has a good reputation and is able to shoulder all the expenses needed for you bail.
One of the best surety bond agency in town which is guaranteed to take care of all your bailing needs and ensure you release from an arrest or detention is the Alamo City Bail Bonds. This agency is trusted by many when it comes to criminal and civil bail bonds and if you get their services, you can really guarantee that they will take care of all your bailing needs.

Monday was a day to remember for Steve Smith and David Warner. The morning started with the former captain and vice captain being named in Australia's 15-man World Cup squad. Both the players will be making their international comeback during the World Cup after serving the 12-month ban for the ball-tampering scandal. The two have not played international cricket since their ban following a ball-tampering incident in Cape Town in March 2018.
The two were eligible to play in Australia's last ODI against Pakistan but the selectors instead asked them to play in the Indian Premier League. And the day became even more memorable for Smith and Warner as Cricket Australia included them in their list of contracted players for 2019-20 season. They had missed out on the last central contracts.
Injury-prone pacer James Pattinson, who is in line to play the Ashes that follows immediately after the World Cup, has also found a place in the 20-player shortlist for the new season. The notable absentees from the list are Mitchell Marsh and Matt Renshaw. Marsh failed to deliver last season and his performance only dipped after he was elevated as Australia's joint Test vice-captain. In fact, he had also lost his spot in the national side across formats due to poor performance. But fortunately for him, the selectors named him in the Australia A squad for the England tour in July.
Players who have been dropped from the list are Ashton Agar, Kane Richardson, Billy Stanlake and Andrew Tye. On the other hand, the likes of Nathan Coulter-Nile, Marcus Harris and Adam Zampa have made it back to the contracted list of players.
"We believe the 2019/20 contract list provides us with a versatile group of players who can represent Australia across all three formats over the contract period," national selector Trevor Hohns said.
"Our key criteria focused on selecting a pool of players who are going to help us in our ambition to win the upcoming World Cup and Ashes Series in England, and who can also play the various formats over the course of the Australian summer," he added.
2019-20 Contract List: Patrick Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Alex Carey, Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Marcus Harris, Travis Head, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Glenn Maxwell, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine, James Pattinson, Jhye Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa

NaBloPoMo - Rubber Highway Markers
Continuing on with NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month ) in which we're supposed to write about things that interest us, I will now write about something that I used to be obsessed about that I'm sure no one else in the whole world has ever even thought about.
Back in the early 70s, the Texas Highway Department changed all the two-lane highway stripes from white to orange. I thought this was incredibly interesting as I was a 12 year old kid in a boring little town. Any changes of this sort helped to quell the boredom I was experiencing.
In order to paint the highway with the new stripes, the highway workers first applied these little rubber things to the center of the highway to mark where the painting truck was supposed to go. These little rubber things were a strip of black rubber, about two inches wide and eight inches long. They were then curled up sort of like a tortellini and nailed down to the asphalt in the center of the highway and spaced about ten yards apart.
Soon, all the highways in Texas had these little rubber tortellini things laid down the center of all the highways.
I became obsessed with them. I have no idea why. I was a strange kid.
On trips, I would just gaze out the window and try to get a closer look at them as they whizzed by at 70 mph.
I would plead with my mom or dad to stop and let me examine them close up. Of course, letting a 12 year old boy crouch in the middle of a highway really wasn't conducive to safety and they never would stop.
Finally, one day I was with my brother and cousins as we were walking down the main thoroughfare, probably going to the dime store on the town square or something. I spotted some newly-laid rubber things in the middle of the highway and just couldn't help myself. . . .
I darted out to the center of the highway and began tugging on one. I wanted it so badly! I finally had a chance to have my own rubber highway marker but it was firmly nailed down to the asphalt and wouldn't let go.
An 18-wheeler appeared down the road and there I was, tugging away on this stupid highway marker. It began blowing its horn, but I was hell-bent on getting my little treasure. My brother and cousins were yelling at me, but I still wouldn't give up on the task at hand.
Finally, it popped out and I scurried to safety with by beloved rubber highway marker!
I kept it for quite a while, closely examining its contours, measuring its dimensions. I'm sure I probably smelled it a couple of times.
Soon, all the highways were marked with orange stripes instead of white ones. The rubber highway markers had served their purpose and gradually disintegrated away. I don't recall them ever being used again after that.
I'd like to think that if you go to my little bitty hometown in Texas, you'll notice a couple of highway stripes that are just a little bit out of line – no doubt due to a rubber highway marker having been stolen by a weird little 12 year old boy.

At the point when numerous organizations consider the creation of a detached showcase then the primary item that is offered by the provider is a pennant stand. Pennant stands are the conventional method for making a convenient advertising show on account of the moderately minimal effort and simplicity of compactness. Tragically, it is the achievement and incredible ubiquity of the standard stand which now and then implies that they are neglected for increasingly inventive kinds of showcase stand which are equipped for catching the clients eye more so than a moderately regular roller pennant which houses an essential rectangular print.
While defining procedure in regards to your next advancement, it merits talking about choices with potential providers with the end goal of discovering non-standard arrangements that could well yield more 'value for money' than off the rack items. Youngsters In Need are one of the most noteworthy profile foundations in the UK, raising a large number of Pounds every year for beneficial purposes through across the country occasions and a TV request. In 2010, a progression of unsupported cut-out standees were fabricated and utilized in plain view at BBC Television Center before the occasion and at different areas amid the recording of the occasion.
The utilization of molded patterns when contrasted with standard flag stand show is very detectable and the standees were utilizations to incredible impact to bring issues to light and help raising money for the philanthropy. For those inspired by cut-out standees instead of roller pennants, the expenses are extensively comparative with a 6′ tall x 3′ wide standee being accessible for around a similar expense. As far as the material the standee whenever imprinted onto, there is an assortment of decision that can be custom-made to the earth in which the showcase stand is to be situated.
For instance, the Pudsey standees found in this precedent were made utilizing a flame evaluated, froth focused board which made then amazingly lightweight so as to follow stringent security prerequisites at the scene concerned. Different standees were created utilizing an increasingly unbending PVC Foamex board which is equipped for experiencing transport to and from occasions without being so vulnerable to harm brought about by incidental thumps and knocks. On the off chance that you are thinking about utilizing a standee for your occasion, presentation, expo or retail show then it merits choosing a picture which will give a smooth, moderating Standee printing singapore. It is advantageous abstaining from cutting-around extremely little articles, for example, fingers which can be severed when the standee is transported.

The 17 inmates released were first-time drug offenders who were associated in nonviolent charges, and yet were going to languish for life in prison. While the spotlight has been on Kim K, the real work behind the release was put in by two dedicated female attorneys who refused to give up.
It wasn't long back that multiple media companies reported that Kim Kardashian West worked towards releasing 17 prisoners who were jailed without parole for life for first-time nonviolent drug-related offenses, but the two women who did the actual work behind those cases have clarified that the media has painted the wrong picture. "Kim has always been very clear in her role. It's the media that spins it around - not Kim. We do not care how the media is portraying it - that's what the media does. Who cares. We need Kim's support and the support of anyone else who wants to join this fight. We love that she is using her platform to raise awareness. We not trying to be famous, we trying to get our people free. Period," said attorney and criminal justice reform advocate Brittany K. Barnett.
In a lengthy message on her Facebook account, she clarifies, "The first and last time I will speak on it. Seriously, because the negativity from today is misdemeanor s**t and we still have lives to save. MiAngel Cody and I have BEEN doing this work for FREE. Ask any of our dozens of clients who are now free living their best lives. Both of us left six figure salary jobs and wiped out our own savings accounts to fund our work."
She goes on to say, "In 90 days TWO black women lawyers freed SEVENTEEN people from LIFE W/O PAROLE sentences - the second most severe penalty permitted by law in America. Only two of us."
Barnett and MiAngel Cody have been working to release them for free. Both left six-figure salary jobs, used their own savings to fund this work. "We attempted to get grants from these large foundations shelling out MILLIONS of dollars to other organizations but would not look our way because they so-called don't fund 'direct services.' Our hands were full picking locks to human cages, we didn't have time to participate in glorified begging from the nonprofit industrial complex only to be turned down," she said.
However, Kim has also played a big role in the Buried Alive Project, which was co-founded by Barnett, who is also Kim's personal lawyer. "Kim has been funding this project and (has been) a very important supporter of our 90 Days of Freedom campaign as part of the First Step Act, which President Donald Trump signed into law last year," Cody said. "We've been going around the country in courtrooms and asking judges to release these inmates," she told KCCI.
The reality TV star helps not only the lawyers but also the prisoners get home after they are released. "(Kim) has provided financial support to cover legal fees so that we can travel the country. Our relationships with our clients don't end when they are freed. (Kim) is truly dedicated to the issue. I work personally with her. We are really grateful...When people get out of prison, they might be incarcerated hundreds of miles from their families and they might need help getting home. Really important, critical things that people might not realize -- and those are things Kim is helping with, as well," Cody added.
Just got word that Matthew Charles will be coming home within 24 hours. Thank you @realDonaldTrump for signing the 1st step act. This is what true bipartisanship can accomplish. https://t.co/9EnwDSksfw— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) January 3, 2019
Cody and Barnett have nothing but respect for Kim. "People get out of prison when powerful women link arms. Brittany and I linked arms years ago, and Kim has come and linked arms, too," Cody said. "It's about using what resources you have to shine a light on the underbelly of American injustice," she added.
Barnett provided more context about the project to free the incarcerated people when she said that "prosecutors opposed nearly every single case we had." However, they litigated in federal courts and won 'downward departures' for people who were going to languish in prison till they died. The clients they had were not eligible for relief under the First Step Act but they got them free because of their skills. "Our work in 90 days is historic. We picked some up from prison. We gave re-entry stipends. We continue to support them upon release," Barnett said.
The 17 inmates were the only ones eligible for a narrow provision allowing their cases to go back into the court under the First Step Act. The two lawyers are also launching another project called the Third Strike Project, to look at the hundreds on life sentence under the three-strike laws.
Previously, Kim had met President Donald Trump to talk about prison reforms. She had discussed the case of Alice Johnson, 63, with the President, who granted her clemency after the meeting. She is a great-grandmother who had been sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for a nonviolent drug-related crime and was not eligible for parole, reported Harper's Bazaar.
Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing. pic.twitter.com/uOy4UJ41JF— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2018

Ernst Calls Out Federal Agency's Wasteful Spending, Lack of Transparency — And Plans to Do Something About It
GOP Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has been calling out the federal government's wasteful and nontransparent spending ever since voters put her into office, and now she's drafting legislation in hopes of stopping it.
"Iowans sent Senator Ernst to Congress with a specific mission: to cut wasteful spending and to make Washington squeal," her office told IJR. "Since she was first sworn into office, the Senator has prioritized identifying and putting an end to radical wasteful spending through her monthly 'Squeal Award.'"
Last month, the senator highlighted the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which squandered $1.3 million in taxpayer money on ten studies that involved pampering cats back in 2011. According to her office, it's difficult to determine if these studies have continued over time because many "are hidden behind firewalls requiring a fee to access."
Not only did taxpayers foot the bill for cats to listen to classical music all day in an effort to determine if it has an effect on their behavior, but Ernst also believes NIH is failing to comply with a federal law "requiring disclosure of the cost to taxpayers for a federally funded project."
"Based upon our office's own reviews, we believe there is widespread disregard of this law by both the grantees and the agencies," her office said before revealing that she's planning to do something about it:
"Senator Ernst is currently drafting legislation to require all projects funded by the federal government — not just NIH studies — to publicly disclose the price to taxpayers. When transparency is not enough to deter waste, we will consider other options, including bills and amendments, to target wasteful and unnecessary spending."
This isn't the first time NIH and other federal agencies have come under scrutiny for wasteful spending on animal experiments without transparently disclosing the nature and costs to the public — and the experiments don't always involve pampering the animals.
As taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste Project has worked to uncover, the federal government has a long history of performing cruel and expensive tests on animals on the taxpayer's dime. It's also not the first time experiments conducted by such agencies have been called into legal question.
The group's president and founder Anthony Bellotti reacted to Ernst's squeal award in a statement to IJR:
"Curiosity didn't kill these cats, but it did squander over a million dollars of Americans' hard-earned money at a time when the government's spending problems are worse than ever. Kudos to Senator Ernst for leading the charge to let the cat out of the bag about $15 billion in secretive and wasteful taxpayer-funded animal experiments that are opposed by most Americans."
In addition to Ersnt's pending bill, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is also "reviewing the lack of compliance with the federal transparency law, requiring all NIH studies and grants to disclose the cost to taxpayers, and is expected to issue a report of findings within the next month or two," her office noted.

It seemed like in the month of December you couldn't turn on a TV without seeing a commercial for Scorsese's Hugo – this may have something to do with my obvious addiction to the tube or that I watch a lot of TV geared towards children and/or mothers 😉 Whatever the deal is, my interest was peaked and I thought I would give the book version a try. I am definitely one of those people that given the choice will always opt to read the book first and then see the movie because let's face it, the book is almost always better! (If you can name a movie that is better than the book I'd love to see it in the comments…)
Hugo Cabret is a young orphan who lives in the walls of a Paris train station. Set in the 1930s, Hugo goes about his day winding the clocks in the station while surreptitiously stealing mechanical parts (and occassionally a bit of food). He is stealing parts to fix a strange automaton that his father was working on and that he believes will convey a message to him from his dead father. One day he gets caught stealing a mechanical toy by the shop owner and this begins a series of events and coincidences that connect him in profound ways to the mysterious shop owner and his ward, a young girl.
This book was really charming and wonderful in a lot of ways. The subtitle of the book is "a novel in words and pictures." and this is meant very literally. All of the illustrations are these really beautiful pencil drawings and instead of just showing what the text indicates, it actually is in place of the words. He also uses stills from French movies that figures into the book very prominently. The book even opens and closes with illustrations as if it were a movie. The mystery of the automaton and how it was connected to the shop owner is interesting. I felt in some places however that Selznick was concentrating more on the history of cinema and other facts rather than the mystery itself. All in all, it was enjoyable and I would recommend it to both parents and children. The book is meant for Gr. 3-9 and I think that is appropriate. I give it six shoes – cute shoes but not much else.
Three Appeals : Amazing drawings, historical setting and circumstances, interesting mystery
Red Flags : None – this is a kid's book.
Awards : Won the Caldecott Medal… be impressed 🙂
If you like the The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, then try :
1) The Clockwork Three by Matthew Kirby
Giuseppe is an orphaned street musician from Italy, who was sold by his uncle to work as a slave for an evil padrone in the U.S. But when a mysterious green violin enters his life he begins to imagine a life of freedom. Hannah is a soft-hearted, strong-willed girl from the tenements, who supports her family as a hotel maid when tragedy strikes and her father can no longer work. She learns about a hidden treasure, which she knows will save her family — if she can find it. And Frederick, the talented and intense clockmaker's apprentice, seeks to learn the truth about his mother while trying to forget the nightmares of the orphanage where she left him. He is determined to build an automaton and enter the clockmakers' guild — if only he can create a working head.
Together, the three discover they have phenomenal power when they team up as friends, and that they can overcome even the darkest of fears.
2) Gilda Joyce, Psychic Investigatorby Jennifer Allison
Ever since her father died, quirky Gilda Joyce has been working hard to sharpen her psychic skills. She's determined to communicate with spirits from the Other Side and become a crack investigator of spooky, twisted mysteries. After wrangling an invitation to visit relatives in San Francisco, Gilda discovers that her dreary, tight-lipped uncle and his strange, delicate daughter need her help to uncover the terrible family secret that has a tortured ghost stalking their home.
3) Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett
When a book of unexplainable occurances brings Petra Andalee & Calder Pillay together, strange things start to happen: seemingly unrelated events connect, an eccentric old woman seeks their company, & an invaluable Vermeer painting disappears. Before they know it, the two find themselves at the center of an international art scandal. As Petra & Calder are drawn clue by clue into a mysterious labyrinth they must draw on their powers of intuition, their skills at problem solving, and their knowledge of Vermeer. Can they decipher a crime that has left even the FBI baffled? (And yes I sort of like this one because one of the protagonists is named Petra….)
All descriptions taken from Fantastic Fiction.
So take a break from the depravity of adult literature and check out The Invention of Hugo Cabret. How did YOU like it?

According to the evidence at trial, in September 2014, the City of Hartford entered into a professional services agreement with Mitchell Anderson and his company, Premier Sports Management Group ("PSMG"), to secure a professional soccer team and to develop a new, 9,000 seat facility at the Dillon Stadium location. Under the terms of the agreement, PSMG was entitled to receive $775,000 for serving as the project manager for the $12 million plan. In February 2015, Anderson joined with DUCKETT who agreed to be the majority owner of the professional soccer team. DUCKETT and Anderson represented to various city officials that PSMG and DUCKETT's Black Diamond Consulting Group had merged for purposes of completing the Dillon Stadium project and securing the professional soccer team. DUCKETT represented that he was a former professional football player in the NFL and that Black Diamond was involved in a casino project and sports-related projects in Las Vegas and Atlanta.
Beginning in approximately March 2015, Anderson submitted invoices to the city for reimbursement to PSMG subcontractors working on the project. However, rather than pay the total amounts owed to PSMG's subcontractors, DUCKETT and Anderson directed more than $1 million that PSMG received from the city to themselves, PSMG, Black Diamond, and other entities not related to the Dillon Stadium project. DUCKETT and Anderson also secured invoices from subcontractors who had not performed work for the project, which DUCKETT and Anderson caused to be submitted to the city as if the work had been performed. DUCKETT and Anderson then illegally used the proceeds of the fraud in a series of bank transactions to pay individuals and companies for expenses unrelated to the Dillon Stadium.
The investigation revealed that DUCKETT used funds that the city provided to PSMG to purchase a Range Rover that cost approximately $120,000, to pay unrelated attorneys' fees and a $20,000 "finder's fee" to an individual, and for other personal expenses including luxury clothing and jewelry items.
The jury found DUCKETT guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, three counts of wire fraud, and eight counts of conducting illegal monetary transactions. The jury found DUCKETT not guilty of one count of conducting illegal monetary transactions.
Each of the conspiracy and wire fraud counts carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years, and each count of conducting illegal monetary transactions carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years.
A sentencing date is not scheduled.
DUCKETT was arrested on June 23, 2016. He is currently released on bond, on home detention with electronic monitoring.
On February 6, 2017, Anderson pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, and one count of conducting illegal monetary transactions. He awaits sentencing. Anderson has agreed to make restitution in the total amount of $1,134,595.37 to the City of Hartford and two subcontractors of the Dillon Stadium project.
This matter has been investigated by the Connecticut Public Corruption Task Force, notably the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division. The Task Force also includes members from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development- Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Inspector General, U.S. Postal Inspection Service. The Hartford Police Department has also assisted the investigation.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sarah Karwan and Douglas Morabito.
Citizens are encouraged to report corruption to the Connecticut Public Corruption Task Force by calling 203-238-0505.

Free Energy Available Daily! Read This To Learn How
Are you considering switching to solar energy? Switching to this form of energy is much more beneficial over the traditional forms of energy. This article can give you solar energy information.
The efficiency of solar panels depends on their density. Higher density panels tend to cost more, but they are able to produce more power. Be sure to compare densities before picking your panels.
You don't have to worry that you'll be tearing up your whole roof if you decide to use solar power. You can make good use of solar energy with simple systems like standalone outdoor lighting. These charge from the sun all day and shine at night.
Panels that are easily rotated have the best efficiency. The ideal angle of your panels will change throughout the day and from one season to the next.
Have you started to think about using solar energy to fuel your home? Think about several key factors before you make your purchase. A major reason to go with solar power is if your home is remote and the traditional power grid does not reach it. It's a fantastic option if you can pay more upfront to save the planet.
When cost and square footage are of no concern, a sun-tracking system of panels is an excellent option. This type of system tracks the sun's movement across the entire day, and even the entire year. Although initial installation costs will be more expensive than a fixed panel system, the extra energy generated in the long run may be worth it.
When you plan your home's solar energy conversion, choose the more convenient areas to begin with. If you are anxious about transitioning, begin small with individual appliances and standalone lighting systems. Transitioning gradually can help you remain with this long-term commitment.
Solar panels are most often installed in areas that give them the most sunlight exposure, however things can change over time. It is important to check regularly for trees that may be overshadowing solar panels due to growth.
Pay attention to weather conditions before you invest in a solar energy system. You will get the most from them if you get five hours of sunlight a day where you live. If you have a lot of cloud cover, though, you may need to reevaluate your options.
You need to think seriously about the benefits of a good solar water heater. They're typically only 30% more efficient than any other form of water heater. Don't think the water will be cold if you shower when it is dark. In fact, this hot water will last as long as a day.
Change solar panel angles during the seasons, or four times per year. As one season moves into another season, the amount and direction of sunlight will also change. When you change these angles, you can capture more energy and save more on your investment.
By now, you should be convinced that investigating solar energy is worthwhile. It will help us break our fossil fuel addiction, reduce pollution and save us money, too. These reasons should convince you to install solar energy today.
Some Guidance On Level-headed Home Solar Power Sault Ste Marie Programs
Leading off their presentation was Dan Trotochaud. He spilled the beans on how the pair has been gauging the Sault's hospitality in the retail-hotel-restaurant sector and with attractions – by acting as secret shoppers. "I asked the question, 'what is there to do in Sault Ste. Marie,'" said the elder Trotochaud. "I used that opportunity at every place that I went and with everyone I talked to. I really ended up with a variety of things." Eric Trotochaud took the reigns of the presentation from his father to break down the details of their assessment. The pair infiltrated businesses in casual wear, sent email surveys, and spoke with tourists and residents. Working with the CVB, Superior Hospitality Partners sent out over 30,000 email surveys and received roughly 700 answers. They used multiple surveys to obtain data on people's opinion regarding how hospitable and travel-worthy the Sault is. Overall, from communicating with visitors the group found an overwhelming favorable opinion about the Sault's offerings. The viewpoint changed dramatically though when residents of the Sault were asked what there is to do in the city.

"We're making some progress on getting students who've withdrawn to come back into the college, but we are still a long ways from recovering all of them," vice-president academic Colin Kirkwood told the board of governors during a meeting on Thursday. Approximately 250,000 students attend Ontario colleges. About 27,500 students provincially withdrew from their college studies. Most schools lost 10 to 12 per cent of their enrolment. "We were in the same range as most of the colleges in the province," said Kirkwood. The 255 students who opted out of their studies are about twice the number who would withdraw in an academic year not affected by labour action. Jeff Barnes, a professor with the college's police foundations program, told the board most of the students from his program who left were "failing rather dramatically." "We would have lost (them) anyhow," he said. Kirkwood could not confirm how many of the 255 students were struggling academically. "It's all happened within the last few days, so we haven't really analyzed in great detail what the grades of all the students who left were," he told reporters following the meeting's open portion. First-year students "predominantly" make up the students who withdrew from school, said Kirkwood. They were enrolled in "a whole variety of programs. "There was no one area that had more than others," said Kirkwood. "There was some that were higher than others, but not significantly." During exit interviews, some said they were "uncomfortable" trying to complete the fall semester after five weeks out of class. "Some of them were facing challenges already with the courses they were in and they just decided that after that length away from school they didn't want to continue," said Kirkwood. More than a dozen programs have January intakes including business, forest technician-conservation and personal support worker.http://www.saultstar.com/2017/12/22/strike-prompts-255-to-stop-studies
Get Great Tips About Solar Energy That Are Simple To Use
Solar power has assisted millions around the globe. Folks who have integrated solar energy into their lives have realized serious financial savings. After reading this article, you will understand the many benefits of solar energy.
The power you are able to generate with a solar energy system will depend on how many panels you install and their efficiency level. You will need to do a little math to calculate the number of panels you will need. It can be better to buy the highest performance panels.
Photo-voltaic panels have two main types. Poly-crystalline panels are cheaper, and mono-crystalline panels are more efficient. If you want to power your whole home with solar energy, you are best off purchasing the most technologically advanced system you can afford.
In order to maximize the potential from your solar panels, try and find a system that doesn't directly rely on the schedule of the sun. Newer systems can store energy from the sun while it is up, and then let you use that energy later. This is great if you use lots of power in the evening.
Going with a solar panel system does not mean that you will be ripping off your roof. If you want to start small with solar power, you can begin with using solar power for your exterior lights and garden lights. They gather energy during the day to light up at night. Just be aware that they may not work during long winter nights or predawn times.
Storage is just as important as the energy that a solar power system produces. A battery can store this excess energy, or you could also sell the excess to a company that maintains a primary power grid.
Solar energy is an excellent way to reduce energy costs in the long term. Solar panels are quite expensive and it could take years before your panels are paid off and you actually start saving money on energy. Invest in solar conversion only when you are are prepared to stay at your current home.
Look for rebates and grants to help with the cost of installing solar panels. The installation costs of solar power are overwhelming. Also, check to see if you can get grants for renewable energy usage. This will help cut your expenses significantly. Often, the initial cost of your solar panel system will net you a tax break.
You can get tax credits from your government for using solar energy. You may receive tax breaks up to 30 percent of the initial cost of the system. Contact a local representative or look on the Internet for more information to see what programs are near you.
Photovoltaic panels and solar water heating are two ways you can use solar power to save on your heating costs. Photovoltaic panels work best in areas that get about five hours of unobstructed sunlight. By using solar water heating, you can heat a swimming pool for cheaper.
Every little bit helps to save the planet Earth. Your choice of solar energy puts money in your pocket and benefits the planet. If you stick with the same energy sources, you can expect your monthly energy expenses to double almost every decade. Use the information in this piece and make a green lifestyle change.

Millennials Can No Longer Be Silent About Our Broken System

Voodoo Dues by Stephanie Simmons

Rating: Snack
Eleanor Figg was a quasi bartender/gate keeper for Lian and his empty bar. He got the occasional customer but gave the impression that he would just as soon not get any. Lian gave the impression of being just released from an Ivory tower of a very expensive Ivy League university. From his three piece suits, to his somewhat preoccupied demeanor, Lian was in essence what he appeared to be, a devotee to academia. It's what he studied that make him such a stand out. Lian chronicled myths and legends hidden from humanity,but existing beside them in anonymity. After a brutal attack by a werewolf, then an extended stay in rehab, Lian is content to remain isolated from the world for awhile, thus the empty bar. Experts knowledgeable in the occult and supernatural can't remain in hiding for long however. This is the case when trouble seeks them out in the form of a powerful Voodoo priestess and her magical family. Someone is raising the dead in Dallas and it's up to Lian and Figg to save the day.
Wickedly fun and darkly compelling, Voodoo Dues caught my fancy in the first few sentences. Written entirely in first person, the point of view shifts from Lian to Figg, giving the reader great insights into the action and motivation of these polar opposites. I like the alternating POV's, and really wish other authors who use first person styles would follow this example. It can be very frustrating not knowing what a main character is thinking. The writing is gritty and graphic and stays very true to it's Urban Fantasy roots. There is a thin thread of romance, but it is by no means the focus of the story. While not my normal cup of tea, it was a refreshing albeit intense break from my regular fare. Figg was just quirky enough to garner my approval and Lian is just a great big bag of mystery. The other colorful characters sprinkled throughout the story added a lighter touch to the darkness of the zombie/voodoo arc. I am glad I ventured into this world and expect to make several trips back to keep tabs on these two.
Interview with Figg
Thanks so much for agreeing to answer a few questions today. It is truly a joy to have you share part of your very interesting story with us here on the blog.
First off what would you like to have people know about you?
There's more to me than guns and designer shoes, I have, on occasion worn a pair of Converse and I can be creative if need be when it comes to weaponry.
What should they know about Lian from your perspective?
The stick in the mud thing isn't an act. He really is like that. It drives me batty.
You seemed to accept the entire supernatural aspect rather easily. Is that just open mindedness or do you have something in your past that would lend itself to the quick acceptance?
I like to think I'm pretty open minded, but even if I weren't, Lian's scars are pretty gnarly. Plus, who makes shit like that up? Definitely not someone like Lian.
Soooo, Carl was pretty adamant about warning you away from Lian. How's that been working out?
I love Carl, but my bedroom is not a place where his opinions matter. Lian and I are both adults and can handle whatever goes on there. Between us though, who freaking knew the nerdy guys rocked so hard in the sack?
What happened to John Marsh?
John is spending a little quality time in intensive care. Lian is keeping an eye on him, but not sure if he'll pull through.
Awwww… I hope so! I found him endlessly fascinating.
Has the bar been reopened? And what's going on with the detective agency suggestion?
I'm supervising the construction. It's almost done. Lian's going for a sport's bar feel this time around. No luck on the detective agency idea, but at least I won't have to work in a rare book store. (snore!)
I looooved your stance on the whole animal sacrifice thing. (shudder!) Have you considered maybe introducing alternate methods of following religious ritual……like maybe a virtual sacrifice or a robot sacrifice?
Rene and I don't see eye to eye on much, but that's the touchiest subject we've got. We would definitely need a mediator to tackle that one.
What's next for Figg and Lian?
We'll be back soon in Vampire Blues.
****Rapid Fires****
1. Jimmy Choo or Louboutin? Louboutin
2. Favorite food? I love a good cheese enchilada!
3. Favorite vacation spot? Girls with an aversion to 9 – 5 work don't usually see many destination vacations. Hanging out with Teddy and Esther is good enough for me.
4. Three things you would take to a deserted island? Teddy, Lian and a bottle of SPF 80
5. In the event that you are the only female left after the apocalypse, who would you choose to help you repopulate the Earth? Gerard Butler (yum!)
6. Regarding Lian….. boxers or briefs? Boxer briefs
Mmmmmm, Gerard Butler in Hello, Kitty boxer briefs……
Thanks for leaving us with these great visuals, and please stop by on your next adventure.

– GFW posted this video from the Slammiversary Fan Interaction event that took place earlier this month in Orlando before the pay-per-view.
– Next week's GFW Impact episode will feature Rosemary vs. GFW Knockouts Champion Sienna in a Last Knockouts Standing match.
– As noted, former World Champion Magnus (Nick Aldis) is no longer with GFW as he turned down their contract offer, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Magnus reportedly worked the most recent TV tapings under a handshake deal as the company wanted to "protect the lineage" of the GFW Global Title, which Magnus previously dropped to Alberto El Patron. The new contracts from GFW give the company 10% of money from indie bookings and it's being reported that talents do not receive a cut of merchandise sold with their likeness if it's sold directly by GFW under the new deals.
Magnus is now taking indie bookings via email@example.com and confirmed his departure with the following tweet after a fan commented on how he should do more GFW Impact commentary:
Thanks Adam but I'm not there amy more. My brief return was just a flying visit. I enjoyed commentary though. Big respect for announcers. https://t.co/BLjJRDjA9a

Brian + Katie // Highlight Reel from Gator Bride Videography on Vimeo.
Katie and Brian were married in The White Room's new event venue, Villa Blanca. The space is absolutely incredible. Katie and Brian have a great story – which culminates at the Eiffel Tower in France with one beautiful proposal.
Everything about their wedding was perfect. From the florals, to the colors, the location, the bridal crew – just perfection. And Katie's Dad not only walked her down the aisle but also officiated the ceremony, keeping a close eye on his new son-in-law. :) Congratulations you two! We were honored to capture your day and tell your story. Much Love.

I haven't seen this whiskey in the US for a long time, which I have heard was due to the contract supplier for the Jefferson's Rye ending their deal abruptly. So when I saw this available on the shelves on a business trip to London I jumped on it. 700ml instead of 750ml, but everything is the same compared to the US edition. Cost GBP 50 (approximately $65).
Looks great in the bottle, the classic Jefferson's shape, a nice medium amber color.
Candy corn jumps on the nose, cotton candy, rock candy, just a complete sweet tooth. Reminds me very much of a lot of some of the Whistle Pigs or Canadian rye's I've had in the past.
The taste is very smooth, with a nice mouthfeel, with some really nice spicy notes on the follow through. Lots of that rock candy sweetness, with a solid spicy follow through. Enjoyable finish.
Gotta say, this is a nice little rye. Not overly complex, but very enjoyable. If this was bottled at cask strength it would most likely rate higher with more complexity. I wish this was more readily available in the US. 92/100.
