As much hype at CES was all about 3D technology, I found that another important feature was completely overlooked, QuadPixel Technology. Sharp has obviously done their homework on adding Yellow to the color range when they introduced this. Quoting from their website "This four-primary-color video technology employs a four color filter, for the first time in the industry, that adds the color Y (yellow) to the three colors of R (red), G (green), and B (blue)". In a nut shell, they will be able to produce a staggering 1 Trillion colors on their new Edge Lit LED line of TV's utilizing the new Yellow sub-pixel along with reproducing colors that have been difficult to portray using the conventional RGB format. This will also allow for a more vivid picture with more detail. The LE920UN series will be a QuadPixel Edge Lit 1080P LED with 240Hz and the LE820UN will also have QuadPixel Technology but running at 120Hz. Look for a complete update from us as soon as these hit our showrooms along with a few remaining questions we still have regarding their color choice.

Diamond 800 series Speakers @ CES-2010
Bowers & Wilkins 800 series has offered legendary audio performance for decades. Now the Diamond 800 series builds on that legacy with vastly improved performance across the board and for the first time the inclusion of a diamond tweeter in every speaker in the seven model range.
Bowers & Wilkins is proud to announce the launch of the 800 Series Diamond. The first new incarnation of the legendary 800 Series in six years brings Bowers & Wilkins closer to the ultimate ambition of its founder, John Bowers; to create a transducer that truly neither adds to nor subtracts from the original signal.
Specially designed for the home, the 800 series offers levels of quality such that the most demanding recording and mastering studios in the world choose to use them. All 800 series get boosted by implementation of the famous diamond tweeter technology throughout the whole range, including the new 805 Diamond, a speaker that brings diamond tweeters into the range of more discerning listeners than ever before.
The new diamond 800 series increases efficiency and improves the dynamic range of the top-end performance. And with the implementation of a new dual magnet motor system, bass performance has also improved. Coupled with improvements in the crossover, B&W, once again takes the 800 series to a new level of performance.

Nutrition Corner: Optimizing the Immune System With Traditional Chinese Medicine
The immune system defends the body against infection. Although it works effectively most of the time, sometimes our immune system fails and we become sick.
To optimize or boost the immune system means allowing the immune system cells to readily do their job. If the body is healthy and functioning well, this will be much easier. If the body is taxed by stress, illness or poor nutrition, it will be harder. In Chinese Medicine, the focus is not always on strengthening the immune system specifically, but rather on strengthening the whole body to allow the immune system to function optimally. Ideally there will be a balance and proper circulation of Chi (energy), blood and body fluid (including lymph) without any blockages. Even though the immune system is complex, the foundation of a strong immune system starts with a healthy digestive system. Eating a healthful, balanced diet plays a vital role, of course. To strength-en Immunity one needs to eat foods rich in vitamins A, C, D and E; omega fatty acids; and minerals. Good foods for immunity include green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach, collards, broccoli, cabbage, parsley), avocado, sea vegetables, mushrooms (shiitake, reishi, chaga, oyster, etc.), raw honey, goji berries, fermented foods (kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, tempeh, pickles, plain yogurt), fish, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, garlic, ginger and green tea.
It's also essential to be mindful of lifestyle factors that can play a role in immune system health, such as getting enough sleep, minimiz-ing stress, exercising, not smoking, practicing good hygiene, and staying protected from excess cold, wind, heat and rain.
If it's a challenge to minimize stress in daily life, practicing a 10-minute meditation with deep abdominal breathing is a great way to calm the mind and the nervous system. Make sure that your abdomen is inflated while breathing in through the nose for five seconds and then deflated while breathing out through the mouth for seven seconds. When the nervous system is overstimulated, it creates metabolic stress within the body, weakening the immune system. Meditation can help reverse this problem.
Acupuncture helps, too, by regulating the nerves, blood, lymph, muscles and tissues of the body to correct imbalances. At Tao of Wellness, our practitioners are always focused on optimizing our patients' immune systems in addition to the various conditions they may be treating. For support with your immune system, schedule an appointment with any of our practitioners at Tao of Wellness.

When I arrived at the Aurora movie theater on July 20, 2012, I can honestly say that God hadn't crossed my mind that entire day.
Ever since then, I've never let Him stray far from my thoughts. After what happened that night, how could I?
My name is Jordan Murphy. I was a starting fullback on the University of Colorado football team. I was also a survivor of the Dark Knight movie shooting.
This is my story.
Looking back, it's so strange how many things had to happen for me to be in that movie theater that night. If I hadn't just been cut from the Colorado State football team, my friends wouldn't have felt compelled to cheer me up. If I hadn't decided to transfer to the University of Colorado, I wouldn't have even been around them, because I could have been playing football in a different state. If my job at the hospital would have stretched any longer that night, we would have missed the movie altogether. As it were, we actually showed up late.
My friends were annoyed that I was making them miss the beginning of the movie, but they were used to it by this point. They called it Murphy Time, because whenever I mentioned a certain time, they knew to add on a few extra minutes. In this particular instance, however, our tardiness may have saved our lives.
This was the midnight premiere of the Dark Knight Rises, so the movie theater was packed. By the time we got there, the only seats still open were right by the screen, just three rows from the front.
About 15 minutes later, I saw a light coming in from the left exit door as someone entered the theater from the outside. When the person rushed in, I could see they were wearing full tactical gear, with a gas mask and everything. I initially thought it might be a promotional stunt, because they were dressed just like the character Bane, but I quickly rationalized that this couldn't be the case. Nobody would promote a movie by interrupting it during the film.
Within 15 seconds of that realization, tear gas canisters went off in the theater, and my life was about to change forever.

We saw a bit of consolidation at recent levels across the financial markets yesterday as the market took advantage of holidays in the US and Canada to have a breather before it gets stuck into a heavy event risk week. Equity markets had a mixed day and the dollar traded in a relatively tight range with the Dxy struggling to break out of a tight 95.00/20 range. Sterling remained under pressure as Brexit concerns continued to weigh and the Aussie managed a small bounce despite a poor Retail Sales print.
Concern remains high in the emerging markets space as we move into a more active trading day with a focus still strongly on Argentina and Turkey, but investors are conscious that weakness could spill to other currencies, many of which still sit at vulnerable levels. Sentiment look set to continue to dominate direction, however we do start to see some serious fundamental risk events as we move through the week and these could supersede sentiment flow if we see some serious variation from expectation.
In the Asian session today we have the first central bank rate announcement of the month from the RBA. It would be easier to find a golden ticket to Willy Wonkers Chocolate factory than an economist who thinks that we'll see a change of rate from them today, so once again the focus will be on the rate statement. Investors will be looking for any change of tone from the bank but again most market participants are expecting a cut and paste from the last statement. The risk is probably skewed to the downside for the currency if we do see any changes, especially if the bank acknowledges the recent out of cycle hike from Westpac which has pushed expectation of a 'real' hike even further down the road.
Into the European session and the focus will shift to the sterling once with the Inflation Report Hearings due out in London before we move into the first full New York session of the week and the release of the latest US ISM Manufacturing PMI data. Once again most of these fundamental releases are probably viewed more as a road bump in the way of sentiment as news flow is tending to have more influence on short term moves in the market at the moment. However, investors ignore data at their peril over the medium to long term and major players will be watching the fundamentals closely over the coming couple of weeks.

From what I?ve seen, I was par for the course. Most youngsters don?t do much to develop themselves outside of school. Then again, most dad and mom don?t push their children to grow both. Perhaps as parents we?re too caught up in the idea that we want our youngsters to ?have a childhood? or we don?t need to push too laborious because they may not prefer it or they may fail. I?ve found in my life that a lot of the things I?ve enjoyed most took quite a lot of effort to realize and the pressure of failure is what precipitated me to grow and to succeed.

Good Grief, Charlie Brown, Continued…
Last Tuesday I posted about our constant sicknesses…Unfortunately, we haven't improved much.
I took Grace in to the doctor on Friday because she was on day 4 of a fever (102.5) and was up most of the night coughing. There was nothing that needed antibiotics. We decided to go to the coast. On Saturday she spiked a high fever and Owen started his coughing. Luckily, Grandpa Ruby was there to prevent any visits to a coastal ER.
We went home Sunday after they had a chance to play on the beach for awhile.
Monday morning Grace woke up and started vomiting and still had a high fever. We drove down to Eugene to see her pediatrician. She has an ear infection. She's on antibiotics now. When I got back to my parents, Owen was much worse, wheezing and coughing and also a fever. I turned around and took him in to the pediatrician. He didn't need antibiotics but he is in his "red" zone and had two rescue treatments during the night last night because he was coughing so hard he was gagging himself.
And me? Well I feel just fantastic with plugged ears, a sore throat and a runny nose.
If we don't kick this soon, I'm afraid Danny's going to trade us in for a new, healthy family…

News & Insights
No Coverage for Breach of Contract Claims Under D&O Policy Under Texas and Florida Law
The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, interpreting both Florida and Texas law, has held that a D&O liability policy does not provide coverage for breach of contract claims against the insured company. Waste Corp. of Am., Inc. v. Genesis Ins. Co., No. 03-61480 (S.D. Fla. Aug. 5, 2005). The court found that the terms of the insuring agreement did not encompass coverage for such claims, a result it determined was supported by public policy. Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP represented the insurer in this case.
The underlying lawsuit involved the insured company's acquisition of two businesses. In 1999, the company purchased the stock of two businesses from three individuals for an up-front cash payment as well as the potential for certain future royalty payments based on the businesses' performance over a three-year period. In 2001, the three sellers sued the company, alleging that it had breached the terms of the purchase agreement by failing to allow the three sellers to manage the day-to-day operations of the business. The sellers' lawsuit alleged breach of contract, fraud and negligent misrepresentation. Two of the sellers subsequently settled their lawsuit against the insured company, but the third seller proceeded to trial. At trial, all of the plaintiff's claims were dismissed except for a breach of contract claim, which resulted in a jury verdict of $3 million for the plaintiff. Before the verdict was entered, however, the insured settled with the plaintiff for $2 million.
The insurer advanced defense costs to the company throughout the trial in the underlying litigation. The insurer declined to provide coverage for the pre-trial settlements, however, and likewise declined coverage for the breach of contract verdict. The company subsequently brought suit to obtain coverage for all three settlements. During the course of the coverage litigation, however, the company dropped its claims for coverage for the first two settlements and maintained only its claim for the post-verdict settlement.
The court granted summary judgment in favor of the insurer. The court held that, under either Texas or Florida law, the policy's insuring agreement did not encompass breach of contract damages. First, the court held that such damages did not constitute "loss," defined in the policy as "any amounts which the [insureds] are legally obligated to pay." The court relied on Fifth and Eleventh Circuit precedents distinguishing between "legal" obligations imposed by tort law and contract obligations voluntarily undertaken by the insured. Second, the court held that the breach of contract damages did not result from a "wrongful act," as required by the policy but rather from the insured's act of entering into the contractual obligations. The court explained that the jury verdict against the insured resulted from the insured's failure to allow the sellers to continue to manage the acquired businesses after the sale as required by the contract. The court noted that the purchase agreement itself was the source of the insured's obligation to pay not the insured's refusal to honor its contractual bargain.
The court also concluded that public policy considerations buttressed its textual analysis. The court noted that the D&O policy at issue was a liability policy and that liability policies are not intended to provide coverage for acts within the insured's control. The court found a "strong public policy" against allowing insurance for breach of contract claims: if such insurance were permitted, the insured "could enter into a contract safe in the assumption that if he later decides to engage in an act which might be considered a breach, the insurance company will step forward to cover the consequences of his act if he was wrong. . . . There would be nothing to stop an insured from trying his hand and betting all his chips on a breach if he could be assured that the consequences of such an act had no impact on him."
Finally, the court noted that the company essentially had admitted that the policy provided no coverage for breach of contract damages by dropping its claim for coverage for the initial two settlements. The company ultimately conceded that there was no coverage for the initial two settlements because those settlements simply represented the amount of royalty payments the two sellers were due under the purchase agreement. The company argued that the third settlement should nevertheless be covered because the amount of the settlement was in "excess" of the company's contractual obligations (as determined by the company). The court rejected this distinction, holding that the jury had determined that the company had breached its contractual obligations to the third seller and that the jury verdict simply represented the jury's calculation of the third seller's expectation of damages.

Commonwealth Games probe, an apt step: Randhir Singh
New Delhi, Aug 4 (ANI): Amid allegations of corruption involved in Commonwealth Games preparations, Randhir Singh, the Secretary General of the Indian Olympic Association, has said the probe instituted to ascertain facts is a step in the right direction.
Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, Singh said:" It is in the fitness of things that a probe has been ordered. It's a right step, and there is nothing to hide. If there is nothing to hide, let it be proved that there is nothing to hide."
On the issue of several fora demanding the sacking of ministers involved in the alleged corrupt practices vis- -vis the staging of Commonwealth Games, he said this would be discussed at a meeting convened by him on August 5.
"I think the committee is looking into it, and whatever is appropriate, they will definitely take action and we are totally for transparency. We are very much there for good governance," he added.
He further mentioned that the meeting is being held in the interest of sports and above all the honour of India, the host country.
India is expecting about two million tourists in New Delhi for the Games, as well as about 10,000 athletes from 71 teams representing 54 Commonwealth member states.
The Commonwealth Games 2010 will be held from October 3 to 14 in New Delhi. (ANI)

And Now We Have A Dev Blog...
As an indie developer/graduate student, it is sometimes hard to keep up with all the various social media requirements of "making it" as an indie. You have to have Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, a blog, and a bunch of other various social media outlets in order to draw attention to not only you but the games you are trying to promote. I find that sometimes this gets in the way of actual content creation as you spend so much of your time spinning an administrative vortex. For a small team, it really is a tall order to fill. That is why for a while I chose not to document my ventures as an indie (which includes the formation of this company), however, recently one of the projects we were working on this past fall (Unboxed VR) was accepted into a game festival in Vienna, called The Big Indie @ Reversed. This to me acted as affirmation that I was doing and focusing on the right things but now that our game will be in front of more people AND we have additional projects coming up the pipeline people may be interested in my (and my teams) experience trying to "make it" in indie development (while still being in graduate school).
Now as I mentioned, sometimes I feel that maintaining items like a blog and a twitter take away from the time spent actually creating. As my team grew from just myself into to a two-person team (soon to be four) I hope to have a bit more time to maintain these items. However; as a rule of thumb, the work comes first so I cannot promise updates every week but I will try my best to post about notable design decisions, big milestones, any interesting "business-y stuff", and my specific thoughts on how I view design as a practice when it does not conflict with developing our games. I hope you find something interesting here especially if you are fellow aspiring indie!
As a jumping off point, it would probably make sense to give you a brief overview of where all of our current projects are. Feel free to check out the individual project pages if you want more information on the game itself!
Unboxed (VR) - Unboxed was the project that started this company. As a small VR game that promotes mindful play, release, and relaxation it was an extremely interesting project to start with. The project actually began as a project for a class in my graduate program and ended up taking off when we showed it at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair where we were met with much praise even when the game was in an "Alpha" state. We offer the Alpha as a free demo but are now working on the Beta release which is to release on June 1, 2018. Unboxed was accepted into The Big Indie @ Reversed in Austria so we are excited to demo the Beta for the first time there July 4th - 8th!
You Busy? - You Busy is another interesting project as it began as a project for an Art Games class in my graduate studies. The game was initially modeled off of corporate processes at my last job when I worked as a project manager/business analyst. It began as a satire on corporate process on how we perceive "efficiency" and there are still notes of that in there but it became a much more fast-paced collaborative mini-game where players work to get as many "tasks" turned in as possible while needing to get "approval" from other players or the AI. As other projects have taken priority we only have an Alpha demo of this 4-player game (available for free) and it is not currently being worked on until some of our resources finish up other projects.
Untitled (iOS/Android) - Now, I cant reveal the title just yet (as we actually still do not have a final one) or a ton about the game (as it is in extremely early development) but I will tell you are next biggest priority is a mobile game that is all focused on the movement of the player and exploration of the space. The game is created in Unity like our other projects and swipe and tap are the two key forms of input. I chose to make this game button-free in terms of the controls to give people flexibility as to how they want to play (i.e. not needing to actually hold their finger on a specific location on the screen). Currently, we have an early prototype and we are testing game feel and levels to determine the difficulty curve and what parts of the game we want to accent most for the best overall player experience.
All of these projects have sprung up and have been created since October of 2017 so the team has been busy and has grown exponentially! I am excited to welcome two more team members to assist with the iOS game and potentially help improve the other projects that are already on their way. Thats all for now... see you next update!

What is a brand?
When I was a little guy there was a commercial that repeated throughout my cartoons. It was The Chuckie Cheese message, "Where a kid can be a kid", every time I heard that my attention was hooked to the monitor because I knew that there might be something fun involved. There was always something fun or exciting that followed that message.
That's branding when a feeling is directly connected to a name. A brand can be anything—a symbol, design, name, sound, reputation, emotion, tone, and much more—that separates one thing from another. With my example of Chuckie Cheese, that message became a part of the name itself, that separated it from any other pizza company out there.
The example I gave was more of a corporate, business brand, though branding on a personal level is what I will be talking about. What have you associated yourself with, authority, down to the earth or someone people look to for help?
Check out my #1 recommended site to get Online Marketing
Be yourself
It's always easy to talk to others when you put on a front, but sooner or later, your friends will find out who you really are and everything that you've worked on will be ruined. In the Online World, it's even worse and a complete turn-off.
When you brand yourself in the social hemisphere, people don't want to see someone who has it all together but someone they can relate to. Small beginnings aren't something to be ashamed of, but to be celebrated. You can connect with someone you can relate to, a sense of not being alone in the world
To build your brand, you need to be yourself and all the odd personality traits that go with it. This is where being human is your best trait.
When you first got into social medias like facebook or twitter, you wanted to connect with real people. If that person shared only the victories in life, leaving out all the hardship and trials, you would have a hard time trusting that person. Some of you probably already know this, but a nice reminder of keeping it real can go a long way.
Become a master of one
There are so many articles out there that tell you that you need to be apart of all the social medias, some of that is true to a point. You should be putting yourself out on all the social medias, though you need to become the master of one.
Finding that one social media to devote your most attention to can be difficult at times, but with the right tools, you can find where your traffic is going. Google Analytics is great at this, plus its free to use as well. You just need to connect your site to Google Analytics and check out Acquisition – social. I personally have used this myself and had found that all my traffic was coming from twitter, so that's where I devote most of my time.
Yours might be different, it all depends on one your topic of choice and where all your audience is going to discuss things.
Build your Online Presence
Having your own website Online is vital to all your branding strategies, if you haven't built one yet, check out my post on building a website. I personally recommend buying a domain through namecheap.com, though there are free options available on Wealthy Affiliate.
A website is something you're going to want to monitor on an ongoing basis, and improve upon whenever and wherever possible. Adding content on a daily or weekly basis, depending upon how much you can put into it, is one way of accomplishing this. By Googling yourself and your website, you can find out what others are talking about you and how they perceive you. Without this knowledge, it would be difficult to brand yourself.
Exercise confidence
I remember this one story I heard about a young kid standing outside in line. The place was chaotic, people scrambling to stay in line, some completely oblivious of what's around them. The next thing you know, everyone is standing at attention in a separate line. How was this done you may ask, well the young lad started barking out orders and everyone instinctively started to listen.
This young man had no degree, no position or place of leadership and yet because of his confidence, everyone listened and obeyed. That's what a belief in yourself can do and that's where you can start building your brand.
Be silly
I like this one, be silly. Show your silly side, so many times we hide our humor for fear of being rejected or laughed at. It's just that side of you everyone wants's to hear, the carefree or the wild side.
You may have been taught growing up that we need to present out professional side and that's alright at times but it can become quite boring. Your audience is more likely to connect and engage with you if the feel a personal connection with someone, everyone has a goofy side to them.
Make a silly face when posting pictures on facebook or twitter, tell a joke as long as it aligns up with what you're talking about, show people that you know how to enjoy life.
Promote your content directly
Talk to people directly, asking them what they want to hear. This is why companies hire social media directors because people want to connect with real people. Find someone you can help and show them how you can help them.
Become a part of a community of influencers
If you google up your niche, the topic you are passionate about, along with the forum. You will find that they are so many forums you can be a part of, the community of people with your passion in mind. Write posts that might help others, look for people asking questions and become that one person that has the answer.
The one community that I'm a part of is Wealthy Affiliate, I've been with them for 2 years and have found everyone there wants to learn, to become a part of a helping community. In my opinion, a community should be community ran with guidelines. You can find their guidelines here, be careful of communities that are ran by arbitrators and in that I mean communities that dictate what should be shared by mediators, not the community.
I've been a part of some communities that ran me out because my information wasn't in line with what they thought was right, their information was outdated. They had no guidelines just law enforcers. You will not build your brand in those communities.
Be opinionated
Don't be afraid to voice your opinion, some people are looking for opinions, not facts or laws. If you disagree with someone tell them, within reason, of course, you can be respectful and disagree at the same time.
Make use of stories
Remember my story about the company Chuckie Cheese, that picture helped establish an understanding of what branding is. Making use of your stories or stories that you have heard can help in building your brand
Do an 'AMA'
You can get onto sites like Quora or Reddit and post an AMA(Ask Me Anything). By this, you can promote your expertise by being accurate and authentic.
I want to thank you for being a part of me branding myself with this article and hopefully you learned a littler more about branding yourself. Share your opinions and perhaps some of your trials and errors in this field of branding yourself.

The Dominican Republic is comprised of nearly 10 million people, its location makes it extremely vulnerable to some of the worst natural disasters. With climate change, high levels of rural poverty, and recent widespread droughts, there is a significant part of the population who can't access clean water.
Together we have partnered with Brown Horse Projects, who seek to spread the Gospel through temporal relief to their fellow man. In partnership, Dominican based Grace & Peace Missionary Fellowship hundreds of service organization have come to help thousands of Dominicans and Haitian refugees.
One described the work as follows, "We saw people different from ourselves. We touched them and hugged them. We gave them medicine. We brought filters and buckets, laughter and tears." More can be done to support these missions and you are the key.
Your donation will help provide more clean water resources for refugees in the Dominican Republic from Haiti.

As warmer weather is finally at our doorstep, double board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lawrence Tong reviews five common beauty and skin care myths to help you spring clean your make-up bag and skin care routine. Everyone has their favorite shade of lipstick and homemade anti-aging face masks they swear by, but here are tips from the pros to keep you looking young and fresh this summer.
Should you say adios to your favorite foundation and mascara after 6 months?
Verdict : Not in every case. Unless there is an expiration date, it may not be time to kick it to the curb just yet! Here are some general guidelines for when you should lay your favorite liner to rest.
• After 3-6 months: liquidate those liquids! Any liquid eye liners and mascaras should be on their way out.
• After 1 year: it's time to say farewell to foundations, concealers, cream blush, and eye shadows as well as sunblock and BB creams.
• After 2 years- Pitch the powders! That means eye shadows, blush and eye-pencil.
• After 3 years – Goo be gone! Shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer should all take a hike.
Now it's time to clean up a few myths about why we are all caking on the make-up in the first place.
Sleeping you your face can cause wrinkles.
Verdict: Yes and no. We're not just talking about those awful pillow lines. Although it has been noted that some side sleepers notice a subtle difference on their favored side as collagen production may be inhibited in the areas under the more pressure (such as cheek bones, chin and forehead). But not to worry for those face and side sleepers, silk pillow cases will reduce friction between your face and the pillow preventing lines and wrinkles.
Toothpaste can cure pop-up pimples.
Verdict: False. When you wake up with an unexpected (and frankly always unwelcome) zit, you're probably willing to try almost anything to get rid of it! Some say toothpaste is the miracle remedy. Applying toothpaste to a blemish may help dry it out; but so would any inexpensive, over the counter product containing benzoyl peroxide. This way you would avoid all the pore clogging ingredients and fluoride of toothpaste.
There are no products available that can prevent wrinkles.
Verdict: False. It's been a long winter and most of us now just want to bask in the sunlight for hours! But be careful this may be aging you skin. Taking measures to protect you skin from harmful UV rays is one of the best ways you can prevent wrinkles. This means if you are going to go enjoy in the sun, don't go alone. Using a good sunblock with an appropriate SPF will keep the lines in the sand and not on your face! Also using products that contain Retinoid can help rejuvenate your skin.
You shouldn't wear sunscreen if you have oily skin. It will just further clog your pores.
Verdict: False. Everybody and their great aunt has a family trick to help you balance out your oily skin! Many people dealing with oily skin forgo wearing sunscreen as they may think adding another layer of (often sticky) products to their skin will only make it worse, when in fact sunscreen may help! The oils produced in our skin are regulated by hormones not topical stimulants. A quality sunscreen with proper SPF can help prevent sun damage, wrinkles and skin cancer, keeping your skin looking young and fresh. And for those still wary of wearing, many sun blocks now come oil-free.
So now that Dr. Tong has cleared the air on some of these common skin care misconceptions, it's time to get out there and enjoy the fresh air; equipped with the tips and tricks to hold on to that youthful summer glow for years to come.Previous Post Next Post

East Word: 'Mama Rides Shotgun' on Cracker Trail
Daybreak at Kibler Ranch in February can be downright cold. Smoke from campfires drifts into the heavy air, steam rises off the coffee, and the snorting breath of horses stabs the air.
It's almost like looking back through the mists of time.
And in a way, the annual Florida Cracker Trail Ride is just that, a look back into history.
It commemorates the cross-state cattle drive by cow hunters more than 100 years ago, and starts in East Manatee and goes all the way to Fort Pierce.
But don't let the historical aspect throw you. Most of the folks who make the ride are good-hearted, colorful characters, quick with a joke or tall tale, who come back year after year for the friendship and the camaraderie.
They all love to ride, but they also love to swap stories around a fire at the end of each day.
Deborah Sharp, a former reporter for USA Today, has picked up on this and written her second book in the Mace Bauer Mystery series, titled "Mama Rides Shotgun." The book, full of humor and authentic flavor, is set on the Cracker Trail Ride. It was released July 1.
"I did a six-day, cross-state, camping and horseback ride to research the setting. What was I thinking? I hope you'll have a chance to read 'Shotgun,' or my debut, 'Mama Does Time' (2008). They're traditional, with a Southern-fried edge: Agatha Christie meets 'My Name is Earl,'" she says on her Web site, www.deborahsharp.com.
I had several phone conversations in recent weeks with Sharp, and she is planning a book signing at Lakewood Ranch Booksellers in September. We'll keep you posted as that event gets closer.
Sharp, by the way, is married to veteran NBC newsman Kerry Sanders, a 1982 University of South Florida graduate. The current edition of USF's alumni magazine has a cover story on Sanders. He's pictured sitting in the cockpit of a jet fighter.
If you Google USF Alumni magazine, that issue comes right up.
The magazine also features a couple of Manatee County residents, including Roger Frazee, the newly installed national president of the alumni association, and Ron Reagan, speaker pro-tempore of the Florida House.
"Mama Rides Shotgun." What a great title. I wish it were mine. But unlike Sharp, I lack the ability to stay on a horse six minutes, much less the six days to complete the Cracker Trail Ride, the time needed to do proper research for the book.
James A. Jones Jr., East Manatee editor, can be contacted at 708-7916.

Adventures of Darth Mad
I've done a guest comic for the Adventures of Darth Mad. I did think it was very good, but looking at it now, I think it moves too fast and the art's very odd. But that's just what I think, and you should decide for yourself. The basic premise is that the Totally Kotor characters are filling in for Darth Mad for a week. I quite like the idea and the jokes, but I feel it was poorly executed.

As the married mother of seven children, most of my days are spent in the kitchen or in the laundry room. In an effort to make this room more inviting and pleasing to be in, I decided to give this room a makeover. Why should any other room in our home be more beautiful than the room that I spend hours in each day? In redesigning my special space, I decided to infuse a bit of country with a bit of glamour to make matching the socks of seven children just a bit more tolerable.

"Practical storage pieces are great if you have a basement or garage space but when you actually live with them day in and day out, they should be beautiful to look at." – Thom Filicia
As the mother of seven children, I couldn't agree with this statement more! Our garage is filled with bikes, Power Wheels, a golf cart and holiday decor…and we don't have a basement.

Hi all!!
Today bringing one of the most loved bake from my own archives –
Gulaab jamun cake..!!
Quite a rich, aromatic fusion delicacy!
If you are a sweet tooth, there would be hardly any chance of not liking Gulaab jamun. One the most loved Indian dessert having richness of milk solids (mava/ khoya) and some lovely fragrant flavours like saffron, cardamom and rose water. Gulaab jamun is the dessert you can get almost all over in India and in every seasons. It tastes equally awesome both the way – served hot or cold. Though I love my Gulaab jamuns hot even during summers. A big hot Gulaab jamun topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream is one of the most favourite dessert ever!
Before a couple of year approx, I saw this delicacy shared by someone on Facebook. I absolutely loved the idea and adopted for making my own version of the same. Since first trial only it became a big hit at my home. Everyone, who tasted it, just loved the taste and texture. And now I am stuck to this recipe. It surely is a royal treat during festivals and for special invitees. Do try this once and you would love to make it again and again.

Picture: Rudimental - Glastonbury Festival 2014 - Performances - Day 2 - Rudimental - Glastonbury, United Kingdom - Friday 27th June 2014
Rudimental star Dj Locksmith broke down and wept "like a big baby" when the band was forced to cut short its Glastonbury festival set on Friday (29Jun14) as an electrical storm shut down large parts of the farmland site.
A huge thunderstorm, with torrential rain and violent lightning, hit the event in south west England as the group was wrapping up its set on the first official day of the festival, and organisers shut down power to all the outdoor stages and suspended the performances for almost an hour.
The closure forced the suspension of the Bbc's online streaming of the festival and jeopardised Tv coverage, while Rudimental were among the acts whose sets were cut short by the drama.
DJ Locksmith has since admitted he was so upset by the abrupt ending to the band's triumphant performance that he sobbed at the side of the stage when they were told they would not be allowed to return.
He says, "I was in tears. I wanted to stay on so badly... I was like a big baby."
Canadian rockers Arcade Fire will headline the main stage on Friday, with Metallica and Kasabian due to top the bill on Saturday (28Jun14) and Sunday (29Jun14).

Cirrus the parashute plane
The Cirrus Design Company is the designer and manufacturer of the Cirrus SR20 aircraft and best-selling SR22 model. The Alan and Dale Klapmeier brothers founded Cirrus Design Corporation in 1984, wanting to become a market leader in general aviation industry by revitalizing the creation of excellent quality aircraft, with advanced technology, of all levels.
As experienced pilots themselves, the Klapmeier brothers understood that we need to find new technologies to develop safety in airplane design industry. They agreed not to go on conventional ways, and they have always tried to build a better and safer plane. Today, the only FAA approved manufacturer to equip aircrafts with ballistic parachute systems, CAPS, which in 2002 made history with the first landing of a private pilot with this system. Cirrus's headquarters is situated in Duluth, Minnesota, USA.
Cirrus began to design and production activity in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Although it was not the first aircraft created FAA approvals, was an inspiration for subsequent models. In 1994 the company moved its headquarters in Duluth, and began designing his SR20, a single, piston airplane, with a composite structure.
SR20 performance
Takeoff distance 1478 ft 451 m
Distance of takeoff when crossing the 50 ft obstacle 2221 ft 677 m
Climb speed 828 ft / min 4,2 m / sec
Range of 627 km with reserves 1161 km
Stall speed with flaps 56 KCAS
Cruising speed (75% power) 155 KTAS
853 ft landing roll 260 m
Manufactured by Continental
Model IO-360-ES
Power 200 hp
Span 38 ft 4 in 11.68 m
Length 26 ft 7.92 m
Height 8ft 11 in 2.70 m
Cabin Width 49 in 124 cm
Car height 50 in 127 cm
Though the company has developed other aircrafts besides the SR20; this was the first model designed from head to tail by Cirrus. The next generation of aircraft designed was the best-seller SR22 which is a 4-seater aircraft with a more powerful engine and greater range. Ongoing upgrades to the propulsion (the introduction of Turbo) and air conditioning made the SR22 one of the most innovative airplane in its class.
SR20 and SR22 show the company's involvement in making aviation more accessible, easy to operate and airplanes safer for those who are pilots and those who are not.
CAPSTM – ballistic parachute system is the abbreviation of (Cirrus Airframe Parachute Systems) and its essence is safety. Cirrus aircrafts are designed from the parachute to the rest of the plane. CAPS ballistic parachute has a 17m (55ft) span and has saved over 20 lives. It is hidden under the coat of the plane and its Kevlar belts are ready to support all the aircraft weight under parachute. CAPS is activated by the pilot or passengers by simply grabbing a handle. Once activated, the parachute becomes fully functional in a few seconds, and the aircraft and passengers can be safely brought down to the ground. Cirrus is the only manufacturer in the world that includes a ballistic parachute as standard equipment.

"Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It's your masterpiece after all."
― Nathan W. Morris
University is a big change from high school, and one of the biggest differences is independence. I remember being in high school like it was yesterday – getting homework tasks every week and your teacher getting on your back about it. How things change.
For some people – independence is the best thing about going to university. When I talk about independence it's not just about living away from home, buying your own groceries or doing your own washing – it's also about the huge transition from being told what to do to self motivation. For me, as a pupil who didn't take high school too seriously and, being completely honest, done the bare minimum (spending my free periods chatting and doing not much else), it was a big shock coming to university. You are fully expected to do things yourself. Don't get me wrong – there is a huge support network. At Edinburgh – all students are assigned personal tutors who you go to with any issues and there is an advice place for all and any types of queries or difficulties.
The biggest difference is not having people tell you what to do. Currently, I in uni 4 days per week, two of the four I am in for one hour. ONE HOUR!!! It would be super easy to just sleep, laze around and do not much (basically my first year, and maybe second) but you will never achieve your goals if you do this. So, how do you self motivate? I have found these tips to be super useful.
- Be organised. Have a diary, write down all of your deadlines and make a to do list each day. Even if you don't get everything done, it is super useful to set yourself tasks which you can tick off as you go along.
- Have a schedule. I have found this to always work for me, but I'm super guilty of not following this rule until now. I have found what works for me and although sometimes I might not feel like following it – it works. Currently, I get up at the crack of dawn and go to the gym when it is super quiet. I then come back for about 6:30, if I'm tired I'll snooze until about half 7 then get up, shower, get ready and make lunch. I then go to the library to do any tasks that need to be done (there is always something to do) and I go to my classes. I try to stay at the library until about 5, then I can come back to my flat and do nothing – and feel no guilt about it since I've had a productive day and done what I need to. If you prefer lying in – do that – and work your schedule around it.
- Reward yourself. Done everything you planned to? Give yourself a treat. Whether that be having a Jaffa cake (or the whole packet – who can only eat one???) or taking a long hot shower. Do it because you deserve it. Creating habits like this is great in the long term; you know that if you complete tasks you can reward yourself. It can even just be for a couple of weeks, until you have a routine. Then maybe start putting a pound in a jar every good day you have and eventually you can book a nice massage or even a mini break somewhere.
- Set long term and short term goals. Want an A in that essay? Start reading for it now. Want a first class degree? Put the effort in now. Setting ourselves both big/long-term and small/short-term goals is essential for being self motivated in all aspects of life. Focus on what you want, and make sure you go out and get it. Imagine yourself 10 years down the line and how regretful you would be if you didn't at least try your best. Funny story: I hated the first two years of my degree (a story for another blog post), almost dropped out about 300 times but do you know what kept me going? My sister had a graduation photo in the living room and I wanted one too. Literally. Do what works for you.
- Tell people your goals. Call your mum, your friend, tell them everything you need to do. Telling someone almost makes us feel responsible to do something. If that feeling of slight responsibility or pressure helps you, then do it.
- Be accountable for your failures and your successes. Failed that essay? Don't blame the prof who marked it. Sometimes we need failure to pick ourselves back up and to get on with it. Aced that essay? Don't say you got lucky with the question. You put the work in.
- Make time for yourself. It is easy to get caught up in the world of studying, especially if you have a job or volunteer. Stop feeling guilty for taking an hour out of your day to read or watch a movie or a day at the weekend to be with your family. If you deserve it, it is the least you can do for yourself.
- Own it! We all work in different ways and it certainly isn't always easy to be on top form. When you do really well, tell people about it. If they aren't happy for you, please exit their life immediately. You deserve positivity and encouragement.
Just remember, you create your own success.

I had so much fun putting this outfit together! I've worn this polka dot button-down only once before with a black maxi skirt, when I was going for a vintage-inspired look. After leaving it in the closet for about a year and a half, I finally pulled it out earlier this week and thought to myself, "This will look pretty kickass with boots!" Then again… what doesn't? Polka dots tone down and add a little fun into what would otherwise be a pretty Rocker Chick-ish ensemble. Accents of red in the form of a headscarf and lip colour were just what I needed to pull the entire look together. Another part of me was screaming "Use pink! Use pink!" as I was getting ready… but I guess I'll leave that colour combination for another time 😉

that red is on POINT! and your headscarf looks really soft, do you mind sharing where you got em? 🙂September 14, 2014 at 2:38 pm

The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District and Donohue & Associates received a 2019 Engineering Excellence Honor Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Missouri for the Lemay Pump Station Electrical System Transformation project. The award was presented at ACEC's annual awards banquet in Kansas City.
Donohue designed improvements to transform the electrical system at Lemay Pump Stations 1 and 2 for the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District. The improvements significantly enhance the safety of District staff and protects equipment while substantially increasing reliability of the pump station to maintain flow to the 340-million-gallon-per-day Lemay Wastewater Treatment Plant. The $3.7 million project included arc-resistant switchgear, a low resistance grounding system, unique automated substation switching, and variable frequency drives with integral controls for the pumps.
The system was designed to be arc-resistant with exhaust plenums that direct potentially harmful gases and particulates away from operators. New switchgear inside of the new power distribution center with this feature offers substantively increased safety and reliability.
"Donohue & Associates successfully managed the complex construction sequencing constraints we imposed, due to our paramount need to maintain the facility, with its complex operational paradigm, in service at all times and minimize any subsequent loss of capacity," said Rob Daly, Division Manager at the District. "They were able to identify a sequencing path forward that allowed for successful project execution."
This project was a first-of-its-kind installation in the St. Louis area with arc resistant switchgear, Ameren integrated cold sequencing metering, and low resistance grounding that enhances the safety, reliability, and longevity of the District's most critical facility for many years to come.
This award is made each year by ACEC Missouri to recognize an outstanding engineering achievement that demonstrates a high degree of merit, ingenuity, and owner satisfaction.

According to malware researchers, Meltdown and Spectre can only be exploited with malicious code that is present and running on the device. Vaddio products' firmware is encrypted, disallowing the installation of malicious code on the device.
The Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities do not allow remote code execution. Vaddio equipment cannot be used as a route to spread malware through your network.
The Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities only enable a third party to read device memory locations actively being used by other parts of the device software. Although PCs and other computing devices store a great deal of sensitive data, Vaddio products do not contain this type of data, nor do they provide a route to access sensitive data elsewhere on your network.
"Vaddio is committed to keeping your Vaddio products secure," said Jeremy Haines, Sr. Director of Software Engineering. "We are still investigating the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. Where appropriate, Vaddio's software engineering team expects to include a patch for these vulnerabilities as part of normal system updates going forward."
For more information, please contact Vaddio Technical Support at (800) 572-2011 or email email@example.com.

If you're anything like me, you don't always have time for traditional networking, i.e., taking time out of your hectic week to drive to an event, spend time talking to people who are usually unqualified leads and then following up with anyone who showed promise over email or phone later that week. It can also be exhausting to try to fit it all in. And while there's a lot to be said for meeting people in person, I believe we could be doing this more effectively, especially for those of us who aren't the best at the traditional way of networking or who have limited time for scheduling extra events in the middle of the week.
And let's be honest, traditional ways of networking are not effective for everyone all the time. Sure, it's great to grow your network, but how many times have you gone to a networking event and felt like you didn't take away a single warm lead from it? Or how many times have you walked away with a few leads you felt were solid only to follow up with those leads and hear nothing but crickets?
Well, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to know how to work a room to be an effective networker. You can still form and grow a solid network when you work from home, and you don't have to necessarily lose time commuting or gathering business cards to remember who to contact after an event.
Here are my top 7 tips for effective networking when you work from home.
1. Make time for one-on-one meetings instead.
You don't have to attend every in-person event near you in order to reach those in your local area. Instead, choose to set up one-on-one meetings and nix those large mixer events. Let the person know you'd like only an hour of their time, and make it clear what you plan to talk about so that you've also given that person the courtesy of feeling prepared. After all, it can be very draining to attend those large networking events. There are too many unknowns. A huge perk of networking in one-on-one scenarios is that if the other person agrees to meet, no one's time is wasted and you can make a more serious and effective connection. It will certainly be a more memorable one. And you can look up plenty of information about the other person and their business or organization in advance. This way, you can rule out some of those unknowns and show this person that you did your homework.
2. Send valuable information.
Instead of trying to think of something intelligent to add to a conversation on the spot at a networking event, take the time to research leads/prospective clients and send them something that is worth their while. This should be something of interest to them that they would not normally be expecting from you. It could be an article you saw that might interest them, a blog post you wrote that applies to them and what they do, or even a handwritten note (major points here, as it's not that common anymore to send handwritten notes--people love them!).
Do you sell a service that might help them in their day-to-day? Offer to give them a sample of your work that they can use free of charge. I'm not saying you should give away your work or time, but think of something unique that will make them want to keep talking to you. Whatever you choose to send, it ought to be something more memorable than just your business card.
3. Network virtually.
If you're really wanting to do business with someone, one of the best things you can do is follow them on social media and interact with them. Is your lead someone who posts regularly on a topic you are knowledgeable about? Take some time every day to work on your social media game. This includes interacting with others you follow and would like to do business with. You could even include them in one of your posts as a great shop, resource, role model, you name it. Whatever you do, give credit where credit is due and be as classy about it as possible. Also, check your "networking" posts and comments for punctuation errors, typos, etc. before you hit "publish". Even if you mean well, publicly misspelling the name or social media handle of someone you want to get to know better is not cool.
4. Send them a congratulatory note.
A very kind way of networking with someone is to congratulate them when you see they've made an accomplishment, accepted a new position or recently celebrated a milestone. Don't take this moment to hock your services. Just say "congrats" and be personable. That's all. They'll remember you for it.
5. Meet online if you can't meet in person.
While in-person meetings are ideal, technology allows us to "meet" with people we might not normally ever have the chance to sit down with. For example, just this week I had a virtual coffee meeting with someone in another state and another with a client in Europe. These are people who I would normally not have been able to sit down with as easily due to geographical challenges. Take advantage of the amazing and free technology out there and give it a go. You'll feel comfortable in your own space and there will be none of that first-time-meeting awkwardness that can sometimes come with meeting in person. You can still make a great connection and most likely have a more engaging conversation than you could at a large networking event.
6. Use your email list.
Maybe you've heard this advice before, but use your email list. Seriously. Don't depend on the power of social media to do mass networking for you. As people say--and it's true--social media accounts are rented space. That's made obvious every single time Instagram (and other platforms) change algorithms. You have no idea if you're even showing up in your followers' feeds. But in people's inboxes? Now, that's a place you know you can show up. So, work on building your email list and use emails to network with current clients, leads and people who have similar interests. Set up an email capture of some sort on your website and start sending out emails to your list on a consistent basis. Provide them with valuable information that makes them excited to see your emails pop up in their inboxes.
7. Let your other social gatherings double as networking opportunities.
Now, I'm not telling you to start handing out business cards at every social gathering you go to. But when the opportunity arises, be ready. For example, when I'm in public and I get asked about what I do, I've already got a brief elevator speech ready for anyone who might be a prospective client. And you better believe I have a business card or two in my bag should they ask me for more information.
Be ready to meet people in unexpected places--airplanes, your child's soccer game, the public library, church events, wherever you spend your time that's not your home or office--because isn't that how things go? You never know who you'll meet or who you'll be standing next to when you're waiting in line somewhere. It's not strange. It's smart. Don't spend a lot of time talking about yourself, or this may come off as being too "salesy". Just give the person your information and request theirs as well. You can follow up with them later in a more appropriate way.
There are so many ways to network that don't involve taking time away from your family in the evenings or losing large amounts of time from your workday. No more attending an event and leaving with a fistful of cards and knowing that only one or two of those people might be truly interested in what you do/sell.
Think of some ways you can effectively communicate with your target audience that work for you and your lifestyle, schedule, etc. Be creative and think outside the box! People will remember you more for these things and your business cards won't end up in their trash can.
Lastly, don't be afraid to set up a very limited number of meetings per week or month. For example, I only meet with people on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the most part. Stick to what works for you and what allows you to be effective in your business and grow at your own pace.
For a very refreshing perspective on networking, let's consider Jackson Spalding's take on relationship building instead of traditional networking as well.
"Networking is about meeting people. A big difference. Networking is a task while relationship building is a commitment. It's more long term than short term, more quality of relationships than quantity. Networking can be superficial, while relationship building is always about professional and personal sincerity."
So the next time you think about your need to network in order to grow your business, shift your mindset to how you can actually build relationships and invest in others. The returns will be much greater.
