When playing XCOM 2, you're sure to stumble upon a Point of Interest or two within the Geoscape. Each of these Points of Interest include an evocative illustration, and this blog series aims to highlight some of our favorites while offering greater context on what each individual piece is meant to convey. This week, we're looking at images themed around The ADVENT and Alien menace in XCOM 2.
This piece is called "Alien Cache." Greg Foertsch, Art Director on XCOM 2, says the goal of this image, from an artistic perspective, was to show a site that looked abandoned, and yet still potentially useful. "The night sky and ground fog gives the image a very tranquil yet ominous feel. The UFO has no light on and is not active and has had a hard landing, but clearly it has been here for a while with the foliage overtaking the alien objects," Foertsch adds. "The alien barrels and supplies are still useful with their lights still on. The green lights provide a very unnatural color and light within a very earthy scene adding to the underlying uncomfortable feel of the image." It also has an other-worldly look, wouldn't you say?
This next piece, a bit more on the unsettling side, is called "Disease." As you can see, the Sectoid featured prominently is suffering from some form of contagion. "In this piece we wanted to show a diseased Sectoid, covered in large pustules and boils, its limbs unnaturally swollen as it sits against the wall in an abandoned house," Foertsch says. "It's almost hard to not feel bad for this creature as it suffers in isolation. Of all of the aliens, the Sectoids are the species that I feel connect with humanity the most. They are the most like us, so on some level my hope was to also make the player feel a bit sorry for this creature as it suffers by itself on a planet far from its home. Its eyes are turned away, so we are not sure if it is alive or dead."
"Solitary," our next piece, also features themes of isolation and suffering. "In this image we are showing an ADVENT hybrid, stripped of his armor, sitting in a jail cell, arms curled around his knees, a weak light filtering in through a small high window above. I wanted it to be unclear as to whether the ADVENT or XCOM have imprisoned him," Foertsch says. "The ADVENT soldiers never asked for this life and are a genetically engineered species created from Human and Sectoid DNA. It is important to understand that under their armor these aliens are still capable of suffering."
Our final piece this week is called "Abandoned" and centers around an ADVENT facility with an Ethereal Statue, surrounded by ruined and dilapidated walls. An ADVENT sign warning people away is now scratched and faded, with the ADVENT building abandoned in the distance. "Even abandoned the ADVENT and alien presence looms large," Foertsch says. "There is a huge contrast in the image within the clean statue and the ugliness of the ruins and barbed wire. The broken gate symbolizes that there is hope for breaking the strength of the ADVENT. In this image the statue has always represented how the destruction came at the hands of the Ethereals."
That's it for this week's art showcase. Be sure to follow XCOM on Twitter and Like XCOM on Facebook to keep up to date with the latest information on XCOM 2. If you're looking to enlist with the Resistance, follow XCOM 2 on Steam Community and join the 2K Forums!

Okay, what the hell is wrong with this guy? Conservatives, do you not see how crazy this is? That's a personal matter that should have absolutely nothing to do with the President, and he's out here tweeting about it?
If Nordstrom caved and stopped carrying her products due to liberal pressure because he's her daughter, that is not something a President should be tweeting about. He is supposed to keep his personal crap separate from the office of the president.
I know that you folks have to see this and understand what I am saying. This dude is out of his damn mind. He continually crosses the line with his behavior and it has to stop.

Last week was full of happenings and with all the pressure and Geneva treaty considered, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was brought to...
When asked about his state in both physical and mental attires, Abhinandan went saying that he went through "a lot of mental hara**ssment", further added that there was nothing like physical tor*ture. The IAF pilot was captured by Pakistani authorities on February 27 after his MiG 21 Bison went down during a dogfight with Pakistani jets. But before his plane was hit, he taken down an F-16 of Pakistan air force.
Further, a report from The PTI, Varthaman on Saturday briefly apprised Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Air Chief Marshal B S Dhanoa about the mental traum*a. The defence minister had met the Wing Commander at the Army's Research and Referral hospital here, a day after Pakistan released him in its bid to scale down heightened tensions between the two countries. In a tweet, the defence minister said she met Varthaman and his family to "commend him on his valour, express the nation's gratitude for his selfless service, and wish him a speedy recovery".
Abhinandan's wife Sqn Ldr Tanvi Marwah (retd), seven-year-old son, sister Aditi and a few senior military officials were present in the meeting, PTI quoted its sources as saying. A defense ministry spokesperson said Sitharaman conveyed to the pilot the sentiment of the nation and appreciated his "impeccable combat skills as well as calmness in adversity".
Official sources further noted that he is mentally strong and remains in high spirits despite the harassment he suffered in Pakistan. Varthaman is undergoing a series of medical tests as part of the "cooling down" process and it is expected to continue till Sunday. Once the health check-up is over, debriefing sessions will be arranged for him, officials said.
He arrived in the national capital around 11:45 PM on Friday and soon after he was taken to the Air Force Central Medical Establishment (AFCME), a compact and specialized medical evaluation center for aircrew of all the three services. When he crossed over to India Friday night, his right eye above his handlebar mustache appeared swollen.
After he was captured, Varthaman showed courage and grace in the most difficult circumstances for which he was praised by politicians, strategic affairs experts, ex-servicemen, celebrities and others. PM Narendra Modi welcomed the return of Varthaman, saying the nation is proud of his exemplary courage. "Welcome Home Wing Commander Abhinandan! The nation is proud of your exemplary courage. Our armed forces are an inspiration for 130 crore Indians," tweeted Modi Friday night.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore interprofessional experiences of incorporating fracture prevention activities in clinical practice inspired by an empowerment approach.
Design/methodology/approach – Data collection consisted primarily of focus groups interviews, systematized and analyzed by the grounded theory method. The study took place in a health-care district in a county in Sweden and involved health professionals from primary health care and orthopaedic departments.
Findings – The findings generated the core category forming a learning culture in managing to incorporate fracture prevention activities in clinical practice. In this learning culture, new forms of interaction with patients were practised and the collaboration developed between multidisciplinary teams added meaning and triggered personal and collective learning in particular about the need for breaking professional patterns, creating more empowering meetings, making the preventive links visible and constructing a greater sense of prevention within the community.
Practical implications – The findings show that learning processes through patient-centred interaction and face-to face collaboration based on the professionals' own requests and experiences can be an important motivator to promote fracture prevention activities.
Originality/value – This study provides some interprofessional elements in achieving a learning culture concerning health education and fracture prevention.

Aigo/Patriot has recently unveiled the new tablet in the form of the Aigo 7007. This Android-powered tablet is powered by the RK2808 chipset with a 7-inch display, an integrated GPS navigation and supports 3G networking. It looks very interesting, but at the same time the case looks as though it's a prototype. I wrote a little about the upcoming tablet here, but not entirely sure if it relates to this or not (sometimes you never can tell).
Patriots may have their own online application store, providing applications to download, but so far pricing and the release date remains unknown.
Tons of pictures after the break.

In response to Lorne Gunter's March 15 column, I wanted to provide additional information about management within Alberta Health Services (AHS). AHS is the largest integrated health system in Canada. Other provinces like Saskatchewan and, most recently, Ontario are looking to a provincial model of health delivery similar to AHS because this kind of integration offers consistency and reliability that benefits patients and their families. Because our patients are at the centre of everything we do at AHS, we have worked hard to ensure that dollars are driven towards the front lines of care. I am proud to say we have nearly halved the number of senior leader roles at AHS, and according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, we have the leanest administration when compared to all other provinces. AHS spends 3.3 per cent of total expenses on administration. That is the lowest in Canada and 25 per cent below the national average. In an organization that employs over 110,000 clinical and support staff, we have 67 senior leaders including 11 vice presidents who serve the population of Alberta. Our manager to staff ratio again is below the national average for other healthcare organizations at 1:31. Of the 3,200 managers in AHS, 64 per cent of them are front-line managers supervising staff involved in delivering patient care.

President and CEO of Alberta Health Services
It is no secret that one of the most crucial cases against Rachel Notley in her campaign for re-election in the upcoming provincial election has been the loss of the Trans Mountain pipeline and the restrictions on oil production associated with the carbon tax. Although Notley and the NDP have made progressive and necessary changes in education curriculums, sex education and LGBTQ rights in the province, Albertans cannot seem to overlook the issues that have risen within the oil industry. Alberta is clearly a staple economy in which booms and bust are directly correlated with the price of oil. Whether or not Notley's plan ease oil production restrictions is simply a stunt to win over more voters in the next election, it is clear that unlike her UPC opponent Jason Kenny, Notley and the NDP understand that a strong economy is a diverse economy. Through the implementation of the Carbon Tax, Notley has been able to fund green energy projects around the province including transit expansions in urban areas and green energy projects in rural communities like Barrhead, creating jobs and diversifying the energy sector in Alberta. Much of this investment being in rural communities has provided relief to oil dependent communities. J

They keep falling on their swords! What great soldiers our prime minister has. Now if the king would abdicate things in the realm might improve. Maybe we could get a leader for all of the country, not just upper and lower Canada.

SANTA FE, N.M. — Billerica's Eddie Newton is the first one to admit he'd never heard of the Pecos League and knew next to nothing about Santa Fe. This spring, the two virtual unknowns in his life converged into a career opportunity that has made him into an all-star in his first year as a professional baseball player.
"Really, the only thing I knew about Santa Fe is that it was in the mountains," Newton said.
On Monday night, Newton was in the starting lineup for the Pecos League All-Star Game, playing shortstop for the North Division and representing the Santa Fe Fuego. The Pecos is an unaffiliated minor league and Santa Fe was the 2014 champion.
To think Newton is playing such a big role in anything like this may come as a surprise to those who saw him play during his freshman season at Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass., a small liberal arts school near his hometown of North Billerica.
"Billerica was a great place to grow up, to play sports," Newton said. "My dad was more of a basketball guy, but I kind of took to baseball and he'd just take me out and play ball and hit grounders to me all the time. He was good about it and it really helped."
Veering slightly off the course set by Billerica High greats Tom Glavine and Gary DiSarcina, Newton attended Arlington Catholic and from there went to Merrimack, where he hit just .143 in 34 games his freshman season.
But so far this season, he's one of the top hitters in the Pecos League, batting .452 in 32 games with 9 home runs, 45 RBI and 11 steals in 12 attempts. For about 25 games he was hovering around .500.
"What you get in a player like Eddie," said Fuego manager Bill Moore, "is a young man who puts in the work and learns about the game faster than about anyone. He does so many things right, and even though he's not the biggest talker on the team, he's one of those players who talks enough to the players around him to make him a leader."
The Fuegos have no team captains, but if they did Newton might be Moore's first choice.
"I wouldn't say he's the heart of the team, but he's — well, he might be the heart," Moore said. "He's not the most emotional guy out there, but he does work hard."
The youngest of five children of Ed and Liz Newton, Eddie was the only boy in a household where responsibilities were a staple of growing up.
"I've been doing chores since as long as I can remember. That's one of those things my parents were so good at," Newton said. "For them, it was all about teaching you to be responsible and learn how to take care of your own work. When I got to college, I was lucky enough to have a coach who was kind of like that, a guy who handed out blue-collar awards for the top player after every win. It taught me to keep my head down, not get too high or too low, and just do my job."
Undrafted out of college, Newton's playing days appeared to be destined for adult leagues in the Boston area — which he was completely fine with. One of his teammates on one of those teams happened to play in the Pecos League last season, however, and he told Newton that the league was planning to conduct a tryout near his home.
Newton gave it a shot. "I had a good tryout, I guess," Newton said. "Everything kind of fell into place from there."
A devoted fan of all things Boston, Newton is a creature of habit who has made his home away from home the cozy confines of Fort Marcy Ballpark, the Fuego's home diamond. Whereas most players scatter for a quick break after daily batting practice, he stays at the yard and does whatever he has to in order to get better.
Moore notices, saying that work ethic is something that defines all great players.
"It's why he's an All-Star," Moore said. "The kid worked hard to be here. He's earned it."

Add a failed laptop power cord (can't even turn the thing on), some very creepy guys who think they're all that and a bag of chips (do I have to deal with this right now?), a gaping hole where a really cute cat should be (I miss how he would cozy up my lap when I read a book), and some seriously misplaced hope into the mix and you have one very tired and emotionally volatile woman. If I could figure out how to do it, I'd infinitely prefer to run away. But I can't, so here I am.
And that's about all I've got.

Can I say first of all that I absolutely love the fact that you said frack. (Did I know that you watch BG?)ReplyDelete
On to serious stuff. I think you should take a day off, go to an art museum, and soak it all in.
*sigh* I'm so sorry to hear it Kirsten. Praying...ReplyDelete
As one member of the real and physical Body of Christ that walks this earth, I am doing my best to hold you up from falling from where I sit, 3000 miles away. It's too far, but the physical presence of Christ is here, even if the mystical presence of Christ is dim and unfelt.ReplyDelete
[silently offers shoulder to lean on]ReplyDelete
Ah.... You've been heard. And that is all I can offer, maybe even mostly what God offers. I hope it helps.ReplyDelete
I just stopped by once more to say that here, in these comments, is the physical Body of Christ made evident. Sarah stands with you, Heather offers solidarity, Jodi offers intercession, I offer my friendship, LL offers her shoulder, and Joelle offers her ears.ReplyDelete
I offer my ninja services for the creepy guys... yeah I got skills (think Napoleon Dynamite here) and can relieve you of one stress, just e-mail me the names.ReplyDelete
Now, seriously I am praying for you sister. May the God of creation give you better health soon.
Be blessed my friend, and rest.

l.l. - i gladly lean my head upon said shoulder. thank you for offering it (i hope i don't get your shirt too wet).

everybody now ... GROUP HUG!!
Just hiding down here to broach an off-topic thing. You'll see that I just posted something called "Random Acts of Poetry." I still remember that beautiful poem you wrote... I know you have it in you! I also know I'd be willing to recommend your work to be featured (I can do that). But first you'd have to join. Pop on over to see what I mean. I hope you'll consider. Also, I'm thinking that your photography might be featured too. How I'd love to see that!!ReplyDelete

US Offers $2bn Security Aid To Pakistan: Hillary
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has termed the Pak-US strategic dialogue as constructive and positive. She was talking at a joint press conference between the foreign ministers of both the countries after the commencement of the third round of strategic dialogue between Pakistan and the United States. Ms. Clinton also termed Pakistan the closest ally in the war against terrorism. Speaking on the occasion Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that Pak-US relations need to be brought to public level.
Earlier Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced on Friday that the Obama administration would seek $2 billion in foreign military assistance for Pakistan, saying Washington had no closer ally in the struggle against insurgents than Pakistan.
Announcement of the military assistance, which would be delivered over five years from 2012 to 2016, came at the formal opening session of the third round of the U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue, a series of bilateral meetings that began on Wednesday. Clinton said President Barack Obama's administration would ask the U.S. Congress to approved the military assistance to complement the $7.5 billion in civilian projects it already has approved.
She said that Pakistan is facing a number challenges but America will help the country in these difficult times. She said that floods put negative impact on the economy of Pakistan and affected 2 million people.
In a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Hillary said that with the cooperation of international community and Pakistan government, steps are being taken to help the flood-hit people. She said that Pakistan is the key ally in the war against terrorism.
On the occasion, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said it was time to counter naysayers who argue that Islamabad's heart is not in the fight against the insurgents. "Prophets of doom are back in business, painting doomsday scenarios about our alliance," he said. "They are dead wrong."
Qureshi said that Pakistan wants long-term relations with the US. He said that President Obama wants peaceful resolution of Kashmir dispute. He said that Pakistan and US should work together to restore peace in Afghanistan.
The strategic dialogue is organized into 13 working groups, ranging from water and agriculture to communications and defense.

Inserting an image into a web page? You'll see, it's surprisingly easy... Well, almost. Several different image formats can be used in websites and they should not be chosen at random. Indeed, images are sometimes large to download, which slows down the page loading time (much more so than the text!).
So to make sure that your pages remain readable and quick to download, follow my advice actively!
Image formats
Do you know what an image format is?
When you have "access" to an image, you can save it in several different "formats". The image size (in KB or even MB) will vary according to the selected format and the image quality will change.
For example, the Paint drawing program (even though it is far from being the best one) lets you to choose between different formats when you save an image (next figure).
Some formats are more suitable than others according to the image (photo, drawing, motion picture, etc.). Our aim here is to review the formats used on the Web to give you an idea of them so you know how to choose the one best suited to your image. Don't worry, there aren't many different formats so it won't take very long.
All the images posted on the Internet have a common point: they are compressed. This means that the computer does calculations to make them bulky and thus faster to load.
Images in JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group) format are very common on the Web. This format is designed to reduce the storage size of photos (in other words, the size of the associated file), which can contain more than 16 million different colours. The figure below is a picture saved in JPEG format.
JPEG images are saved with the extension
Note that the JPEG format reduces the image quality slightly, in a way which is generally imperceptible. This is what makes it so effective in reducing the storage size of photos.
When it comes to a photo, you usually can't detect the loss in quality. If it is not a photo, however, the image may appear to be slightly "blurry". In this case, it's better to use PNG format.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is the newest format of all. This format is suitable for most graphics (I'm tempted to say "everything that's not a photo"). PNG has two big advantages: it can be made transparent and does not affect the image quality.
PNG was invented to compete with another format, GIF, at a time when you had to pay royalties for the use of GIF. Since then, PNG has changed significantly and has become the most powerful format for saving most images.
PNG is available in two versions, depending on the number of colors to be included in the image:
8-bit PNG: 256 colors;
24-bit PNG: 16 million colors (as many as a JPEG image).
The next figure is a 24-bit PNG image, representing our famous mascot Zozor.
In fact, if 24-bit PNG can display as many colors as a JPEG image, and can also be made more transparent without affecting the quality of the image... what's the point of JPEG?
The compression of photos is more powerful with JPEG. A photo saved in JPEG will always load much faster than if it was saved in PNG. I thus advise you to always keep the JPEG format for photos.
Although this format is quite old, it has been widely used (and is still widely used out of habit). PNG is now much better than GIF overall: images generally have a much smaller storage size and their transparency is of better quality. I would thus recommend you use PNG as much as possible.
GIF is limited to 256 colors (while PNG can go up to several million colors).
GIF does, however, have one advantage that PNG does not have: it can be animated (see next figure).
There is a suitable format for each image
To sum up, the format to be adopted according to the image you have is indicated below:
A photo: use a JPEG.
Any graphic with not many colors (fewer than 256): use an 8-bit PNG or possibly a GIF.
Any graphic with lots of colors: use a 24-bit PNG format.
A animated image: use an animated GIF.
Mistakes to be avoided
Banish other formats
Other formats not listed here, such as the BITMAP format (
*.bmp) should be banned as they are often not compressed, and so too big. They are not at all suitable for the Web. Although you can include them in your website, they will take an extremely long time to load!
Choose the name of your image well
If you want to avoid problems, get into the habit of saving your files with lower case names, and without spaces or accents, for example:
You can replace spaces by the underscore character ("_") as I have done here.
Inserting an image
Let's now go back to HTML code to find out how to place images in our web pages!
Inserting an image
What is the famous tag that we use to insert an image? It is…
!
It's an orphan type tag (such as

). This means that you don't need to enter two tags as in the case of most other tags that we have seen so far. Indeed, we don't need to define a portion of text; we just want to place an image at a specific point.
The tag must be accompanied by two mandatory attributes:
src: which indicates the location at which you want to insert the image. You can either include an absolute path (e.g.
http://www.website.com/flower.png) or a relative path (which is what is usually done). So if your image is in an
imagessubfolder, you have to enter:
alt: which means "alternative text." An alternative text to the image, in other words, a short text describing what is the image contains, must always be indicated. This text will be displayed in place of the image if the latter cannot be downloaded (this does happen), or in the browsers of disabled (blind) people who unfortunately cannot "see" the image. It also helps search engine robots to search for images. For the flower, for example the following would be included:
alt="A flower"..
Images must necessarily be located within a paragraph (

). Here's an example of an inserted image:
Here's is a photo I took during my last holiday in the mountains:

In short, it is very easy to insert an image as long as you can indicate where it is located, as we learned to do with links.
The biggest "difficulty" (if you can call it a difficulty) is to select the right image format. In this case, it's a photo so obviously the JPEG format is used.
Adding a tooltip
The attribute used to display a tooltip is the same as the one for links: namely,
title. This attribute is optional (unlike
Here's an example:
Here's is a photo I took during my last holiday in the mountains:

Hover the mouse pointer over the photo to see the tooltip appear.
Clickable thumbnail
If your image is very large, it is advisable to display its thumbnail on your website. Then add a link to the thumbnail to allow your visitors to view the image in its original size.
There are millions of programs for creating thumbnails of images. I personally use Easy Thumbnails. I'll thus have two versions of my photo, as shown the next figure): the thumbnail and the original image.
I put them both in a folder called, for example,
img. I display the version
mountain_small.jpgon my page and I make a link to
mountain.jpgso that the enlarged image is displayed when you click on the thumbnail.
Here's the HTML code that I use for this:
Do you want to see the image in its original size? Click on it!

In reading this book, you have already come across several examples of figures. These are items that enhance the text to supplement the information on the page.
Figures can be of several different types:
source code;
In short, anything that illustrates the text is a figure. Although we're using images in this case, figures are not, contrary to what one might think, necessarily images: a source code also illustrates the text.
Creating a figure
Let's, for example, take the case again of the screenshot we saw in the first chapter, as shown in the next figure.
In HTML5, the tag used is

. Here's how you might use it:

A figure is most often accompanied by a caption. To add a caption, use the

tag inside the

tag, like this:

The Notepad software

Properly understanding the purpose of figures
A bit earlier on in this chapter, I told you that the images had to be located in paragraphs (placed inside a tag

). This is not quite true.
If you make a figure of your image, the image can be located outside a paragraph.

Do you know the Notepad software? You can make websites with it!

The Notepad software

I don't really see the difference. When should I put my image in a paragraph and when should I put it in a figure?
Good question! It all depends on what your image provides to the text:
If it provides no information (it's just an illustration for decorative purposes): put the image in a paragraph.
If it provides information: put the image in a figure.

tag has a role that is primarily semantic. This means that it tells the computer that the image has a meaning and that it is important for the understanding of the text. This can allow a program to retrieve all the figures in the text and reference them in a table of figures, for example.
Finally, note that a figure may well have several images. Here's a case where this is justified:

Logos of various browsers

Summing up
There are several image formats suitable for Web use:
JPEG: for photos;
PNG: for all other illustrations;
GIF: similar to PNG, with more limited number of colors, but can be animated.
An image is inserted with the
tag. It must include at least two attributes:
src(image name) and
alt(short description of the image).
If an image illustrates the text (and is not just decorative), it is best to place it inside a

tag. The

tag is used to enter the image caption.

Gerard Baker at the Times is right: "Barack Obama suddenly looks vulnerable. And the more the focus is on him, the less likely he is to become president."
Baker writes:
"There's trouble in paradise. Cancel the coronation. Send back the commemorative medals. Put those "Yes We Can" T-shirts up on eBay. Keep the Change.
"Barack Obama's historic procession to the American presidency has been rudely interrupted. The global healing he promised is in jeopardy. If you're prone to emotional breakdown, you might want to take a seat before I say this. He might not win.
"How can it be, you ask? Didn't we see him just last month speaking to 200,000 adoring Germans in Berlin? Didn't he get the red carpet treatment in France - France of all places? Doesn't every British politician want to be seen clutching the hem of his garment?
"All true. But as cruel geography and the selfish designs of the American Founding Fathers would have it, Europeans don't get to choose the US president. Somewhere along the way to the Obama presidency, somebody forgot to ask the American people."
Baker points out:
So we arrive this weekend at the true starting line of the US presidential race and the rituals that begin the real election campaign: the selection of the vice-presidential running-mates, and the back-to-back party nominating conventions. A year and a half after the warm-ups began, the two remaining candidates are more or less tied. Senator Obama's summer lead in the opinion polls has evaporated. John McCain, that grumpy, grisly, gnarled old Republican, that Gollum to Senator Obama's Bilbo Baggins, might, just might, actually win this thing.
"What happened?"
Baker concludes:
"The key to understanding the presidential campaign as it enters its phase of maximum intensity is this. The more the campaign is about the concerns of the American voter, especially the state of the economy but also the general anxiety about the direction of the country, the more likely they are to throw the Republicans out.
"But the uncomfortable truth for the many devoted fans of Senator Obama is that the more the race is about him, the less likely he is to win it."

'Yes we can'? Make that: 'Oops, we may not'

Obama needs to be less like Muhammad Ali and more like Joe Frazier. Step in, punch hard. The Republicans have given us an illegal war. Mass murder. Catastrophe. He has all the material he needs. So what's he doing?ReplyDelete
He also needs to read a little book called "Animal Farm" and ponder the words "Some are more equal than others."

What is "poor in spirit?" For me it has a great deal to do with the treasure of time. Used wisely, for the benefit of loved ones and friends it becomes a means of healing, hope, laughter-a blessing for us as well as for others. But we can find ourselves so preoccupied with work, responsibilities and dealing with "things" that we have little energy left for quality time with family and friends–and for quiet.
Sr. Dorothy would say: "STOP! Give yourself space to smell the flowers and marvel at nature." She would invite us away from preoccupation with ourselves to give time to those in need. She would say: "Remember that you have a special Friend who wants to spend time with YOU!"
Dorothy always carried her Bible with her. It was well-worn, taken on long walks to remote villages in the woods, with her as she slept overnight in an office where the official purposely delayed seeing her. "Over time it is no longer hard to give a Gospel response," she said. "We can prioritize time for ourselves. We can modify our busyness and lighten the burden of too many things." We can make time to be with the One who is always present to us. Thus poverty of spirit becomes transformed in time into the richness of pure gold.
"Once Sr. Dorothy reached an area where people were living, she would have to walk for hours to find them deep in the forest….Fr. Lucas asked if there was a family willing to have Sr. Dorothy live with them for a while. At first, the request was met with silence. The poor settlers lived in shacks with dirt floors, no running water and no electricity. They barely had enough to eat themselves and wondered why this American nun would ever want to share their poverty with them. Eventually, Dona Antonia Barbosa and her husband, Dio, offered to allow Dorothy to move in with them and their 10 children….Dorothy arrived at their door carrying a box that contained all she needed, strung up her hammock, and made herself at home. She lived there for the next two years …." (Excerpt from: "Martyr of the Amazon" by Sr. Roseanne Murphy, SND)
PRAYER: Generous and compassionate God, Help me to learn how to simplify and focus my life in order to be more available to others. Increase my consciousness of your Presence in my life. Amen.
ACTION: Sr. Dorothy loved nature. Take time this week to marvel at the beauty of nature.
This reflection was written by Sr. Margaret Hoffman, SNDdeN, Justice & Peace Coordinator. Sr. Joan Krimm, SNDdeN, selected the Dorothy Stang quotation.

Welcome to the D-SHOP.
We've got plans to launch an all-singing, all-dancing D-Shop just as soon as we can.
In the meantime get in the swing of things by ordering our famous Dynamix notepads.
Limited edition mind you, so get in quick!
- The Happy Dynamos.
Back in 2005, we got sick of hauling around disappointingly average and generic notepads, that were clearly made by companies who hadn't heard of the term 'soul'. So we did something about it. We freed our talented team from the shackles of a client and tasked them with designing the very first Dynamix notepads. Our production team wet their pants when 'recycled board' and 'screen printing' were mentioned in the same sentence… and soon we held them in our grubby little hands, with smell of fresh ink still in the air.
Every couple of years we create a fresh set of bespoke designs for a limited run. We still give them to our staff, our favourite clients, a few close friends and often get phone calls from random people asking where they can get more (apparently the line- weighting is just perfect!). So, with each new set of notepads, we've decided to make a small number available to the public for a limited time. We hope you enjoy.
There are some nights when a man should stay in with a cup of cocoa and a good book. Strange things happen out there.
Is that a look of coy innocence or cornish guilt on your face Dorothy? You are such a good method actor.
When was the last time you had a 3-legged race? Happy days and jolly good times indeed.
Founded in the imagination, Dynamix circa 1836 would've looked like this. I wonder what's for Friday Lunch – Turtle Soup?
SEE NO EVIL (reprint)
Back by popular, communist demand, the pokey-out tongue lady with the covered eyes on a cherry bakewell tart.
The Dionysus Serenade – chaos, intoxication, excess, human being(s) as the work and glorification of art, destruction.
If you gunna let your art director go on a 3 week trip to London it's gunna influence his work. But that's what you want right?
The colloquial vernacular in the studio hit an all-time high in 2008. This is both a document of and a memorial to such times.
Now your memoirs are safe and easily discoverable by publishers. Die whenever you want, you'll be famous for sure.
Little did the lady know, James Joyce was nearly shot in this tower. He then wrote a famous novel – the pressure's on lass.
If you can't speak you better paint a good picture. If you can't see, it better be a good story.
An early prototype of a QR code falls by the wayside. It didn't change the digital world, but it did make the coveted cover.

In the first part of this two-part article series, I wrote about how wealthy, successful women seem to face a dilemma when it comes to choosing a partner and finding happiness in a relationship.
Based on the stereotypes that the alpha male is threatened by the alpha female, and that a relationship between the two would only lead to conflict, the solution on offer for the alpha female seemed to be to choose a beta male.
However taking a closer look revealed that the real issue often lies more in values and self esteem, than stereotypes.
So what's the real solution?
1. Let go of the stereotypes and what you have learned before!
While opposites do attract it is also well known that after a while opposites also repel. In my work, I have come across alpha women, referred to me with depression, some married to alpha males and gave up their careers when the children came, some with beta partners and feel overwhelmed with being the one in charge, bored and want more from their partners.
I have worked with alpha men who end up in the stereotypical situation of having affairs with their secretaries – beta females. And I have also worked with alpha males who have had affairs with alpha females. So it really isn't that straightforward after all.
2. Get to know who you really are
The kind of people we attract says a lot about who we are, about the relationship we have with ourselves and it speaks volumes about our beliefs about relationships.
3. Be clear about what you really want
This sounds easier than it is. Sometimes what we think we want is not what we really want. The only way to know, is to get really clear about your core values and purpose.
4. Be clear about your expectations
Right from the start of the relationship, be clear about your expectations and the kind of 'contract' you agree to. It is so easy to 'give in' during the early days of a relationship. Once you do this, you can hardly blame your partner, later on down the line, when you later want to change that 'unspoken contract' can you?
The future of the alpha female
Are you really, as an 'alpha female', comfortable in your own skin? Or are you hiding behind the 'alpha' mask just like men traditionally have done? Will 'alpha' women take the same route as 'alpha' men have historically done? Will 'alpha' women go for the 'beta' type, only to get bored and end up having an affair with their secretaries?
Are 'alpha' women really doing anything different or are they just about to repeat history – the other way around, and just producing another set of stereotypes that will need unlearning later on down the line by the next generation?
Men are changing. There are more and more genuine 'alpha' men who value and appreciate what a genuine 'alpha female' has to offer. Though women have embraced their changing role quicker than men have, men are changing too.
More 'alpha men' are becoming 'emotionally intelligent'. Emotional Intelligence is, in fact, the buzzword in executive coaching – of which the highest percentage of executives being coached are (alpha) men. I have had the privilege of working with many emotionally intelligent 'alpha males in my coaching practice and on a personal level, I am meeting more and more men who value and prefer the 'alpha' female – some of the men I meet are 'beta' males while others are 'alpha' males.
Is it completely fair to say that the alpha male is the problem? Could it be more about the 'alpha female' and her beliefs and the stereotypes that she is buying into?
Could it be that 'alpha females' aren't really genuinely all that comfortable in their new 'alpha' skin? Could it be even having gone through a role transition, women are still no clearer about who they really are or what they really want before they go in to a relationship? In particular the baby boomers seem to be playing both the traditional female role as well as the new 'alpha female' role. Could it be that 'alpha females' don't stick to what they want and expect right from the start of a new relationship – maybe they give in just a bit to fit into the stereotype, driven by a belief that 'alpha females' and 'alpha males' just don't work?
My final question to the 'alpha woman': If you believed that the alpha male was a genuine, not a 'masked' version covering up low self esteem or insecurities, who was also emotionally intelligent and who shared similar core values that you share – would you still go for the beta male?

If you want to maintain healthy friends with benefits relationships, it's essential to start at the beginning the right way. It is very possible to have friends with benefits, and those types of relationships can actually be very healthy.
Here's how to find friends with benefits.
Look among your friends for people that meet all the criteria below. If they are missing one element, they will not make a good friends with benefits relationship.
- You are attracted to him/her
- He/she is attracted to you
- You know you will never get married (not each other's type)
- The other person does not take breakups too hard
To start and find healthy friends with benefits relationships, the friendship first has to be strong. If there is an attraction, you absolutely must have a talk with the person about what you both want going forward.
Friends with benefits requires constant updating. Rules should be set up front about no dates. And if one partner starts dating another person exclusively, sex must be cut off immediately.
Keep a schedule.
Do not change your schedule at all for your friend with benefits. You should not miss out on anything to have casual sex with this person, or start missing dates for them, either. It's too close to a relationship and can become confusing.
Limit your trysts.
Sex naturally bonds people. Friends with benefits can turn into a feisty situation if rules aren't set and abided by. Set a sex limit that you can both live with, and stick to it.
Booty calls only for friends with benefits. No dates. Be friends in the morning and casual sex partners at night. Don't mix the two.

Yole Développement has released a new report featuring an analysis of PV monitoring including the main market drivers, technology and market trends, supply chain and vertical/horizontal integration trends and the positioning of leading companies.
The PV market is growing, and by 2020, it will reach nearly 450 GWp of cumulative installed capacity. PV monitoring helps satisfy the needs of PV project developers and system owners by guaranteeing maximum ROI from PV installations.
The report analyses market trends and suggests how PV monitoring has become essential to global energy management systems and the successful integration of large intermittent PV electricity volumes into the electrical grid. For large size installations in mature PV markets, a PV monitoring solution is a mandatory element which should be factored in at the early stages of project development in order to reduce costs.
PV monitoring's supply chain is a work in progress and there are still many opportunities for small players – especially for companies working in software and data analysis, and firms involved on the local end (distribution, installation, maintenance, etc.).
"The growing need for global energy management solutions provides an opportunity for large multinational companies, which are already looking for small, easy-to-acquire firms that can help them accelerate the development of complete energy solutions such as autonomous PV-battery systems, smart homes and smart cities," said Milan Rosina, market & technology analyst, photovoltaics, at Yole Développement. "Inverter and battery makers, providers of smart-data analysis methods and well-established local monitoring companies are the focus of ongoing merger and acquisition and partnerships efforts."

The quilting has gone ok on the silk antependium - not perfect, but I wasn't shooting for perfect. The scheme has been revised a bit and I've decided not to add multiple lines of cross hatching in the centre, but rather a single diagonal line. In reality, there's only 2" of space there so this allows a bit of dimension to the surface.

How scrumptious is that! Do't forget, too, that it will be seen from a distance in church, no one will be peering at it from three inches away - and it will be a beautiful backdrop to a happy occasion.ReplyDelete

This Week's Episode:
"S-H-I-T, Shit, Shit, Shit!"
It's that time of year again, folks! As is the tradition here at The Internet Is In America, we're going to do our damnedest to give you LIVE play-by-play coverage of every single Oakland Raiders game of the season, including today's home stand against New York. Join us LIVE on Sunday, Sept. 17 for our patented possession-by-possession coverage of week 2's Raiders vs. Jets game, with the festivities beginning at 4 p.m. eastern time. There'll be updates every commercial break, so be sure to bookmark this shit prior to kickoff. And, as always, do us and yourselves a kindness and let all your fellow Raiders fans know what we're up to by posting links to our coverage on your social media pages. Hey, we're all in this together, remember (#SilverAndBlackLivesMatter) ...

Bruno Raberg: Presence
The band members often swap hearty notions while performing brief yet purposeful solos as they jointly pursue effective means for reaffirming the primary themes amid subtle dialogue on pieces such as "Sculpture II and Sculpture I". - Raberg steers the circuitous course alongside Mathisen's simple, understated lines as the trio engages in some vivacious call and response on "Twin Spirits", while the musicians also stagger the flow yet increase the momentum in quick-witted and at times beguiling fashion.
Presence might signify Bruno Raberg's finest solo effort to date, thanks in part, to the bassist's subliminally complex frameworks, symmetrical arrangements and strong leadership. Recommended!

Despite RSS feeds seeming to be harder and harder to find these days, they still are really, all kinds of awesome. And here's a good example of how they are awesome.
Let's say there's a hashtag you follow on Twitter. Maybe its a discussion hashtag, maybe it has to do with your business, or maybe you're at a conference or are following an event. You are probably doing this in one of three ways:
- Using the twitter.com/search feature
- Creating a separate column in one of your Twitter clients (like Hootsuite) that constantly searches that hashtag
- Using a monitoring service, like Twitterfall or Monitter.
That's great. But only you can see it. What if you want to take your search public, allow your readers to also follow that hashtag?
You can create an RSS feed for that hashtag, and then stream that RSS feed through the sidebar of your blog or website.
Here's how.
And here's that line of code you need:

Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4 and grease and line a 31x20cm shallow tin.
In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sifted flour, baking powder and cocoa and fold in.
Turn into the prepared tin, push into the corners and level out the top. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes (test with a skewer, it should come out clean if cake is cooked). Cool and place on a wire rack.
Sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl and add a little water (a few teaspoons) to make a spreadable icing. Spread over the top of the cooled cake and top with smashed pieces of creme egg.

Israel has been emerging as a hidden warrior but this fact has remained a mystery until foreign company Intel made a heavy deal.
Intel has bought the Israeli firm Mobileye which makes driverless technology, for $15.3 billion which suggest that's Israeli has been hiding its inventive nature all along. Israel has never made such king of big deals in its entire life-time.
The technology developed by Mobileye offers driving assistance to car drivers such as alerting from the incoming cars and vehicles to avoid accidents.
Mobileye is already got he the 70% of the market of this technology in their control. Inventions like drip irrigation, computer flash drive or Iron missile interceptor made by Israel in case of you weren't aware of the fact.
Isreal has remained a hidden autonomous warrior so far and is becoming one of innovation sources of technology.
