You're a lifelong learner. I know you might not agree right now, but trust me - you are.
Humans are built to learn. That's what separates us so drastically from other animals: we love to learn, and we're very, very good at it.
Maybe you're someone who loved learning once, but became disillusioned with the times-table-chanting and poem-memorising that you did at school. Maybe you've never liked learning because you associate it with the boredom and drudgery that formal education so often inspires.
But real learning isn't about passing an exam. It goes beyond rote memorisation and useless regurgitation of facts.
It's about learning to think about the world in a new way, and gaining new tools to make our ambitions a reality.
It can teach you your full potential. It can show you a new path to take.
Learning can transform you into the best version of yourself.
And if all this inspirational fluff is making you feel more nauseous than your hastily scoffed Valentine's Day chocolates, remember that learning can bump your salary – big time.
So how do you go about resetting your brain, finding your passion, and learning to love learning?
1. Unlearn your assumptions about yourself
You're not the same person who fidgeted through school assemblies and fell asleep in your maths textbook.
I'm not saying that you'd react any differently now under similarly constrained circumstances.
What's different is that you're an adult now. You have the capacity to turn your attention to the things you really want to learn, the authority to ask questions, and the freedom to find a subject and a style of learning that works for you.
By realising that the limitations of childhood were (most likely) what made you turn away from your inherently human love of learning, you're taking the first step towards rekindling that love.
2. Find your motivation
Forget the 'what'. Why do you want to learn?
Are you motivated by career advancement? Finding a new job? Earning more money?
Or do you want to show your children the benefit of education? Do you wish you were better at science so you could help your kids with their homework?
Maybe you've always wanted to play the saxophone, or take up painting, or learn French.
What you do is up to you. The most important thing is to make it very clear to yourself why you're doing it.
Write the reason on sticky notes and pin them to your fridge, your books, your instrument. Save a note with your 'why' on the homescreen of your phone and laptop. Write it anywhere that it might inspire you, or drive you away from procrastination.
If you have the why, everything else will fall into place.
3. Choose the right subject
Some motivations will lead themselves naturally to actions: if you're moving to Spain, it's time to learn Spanish. Others can be trickier to work out.
Say you want to earn more money – gaining a new qualification in your field (or in a new field) is a no brainer.
However, if you want to start your own business, then having a qualification is less useful than having a comprehensive knowledge of your chosen industry. Studying for a qualification can be a wonderful way to get that knowledge, but the most important part is the knowledge you gain, not the certification.
If you want to learn for learning's sake (a very valid 'why'!) but you're not sure what to learn, then take some time to explore your options. Take a yoga class, try improv comedy or learn to code. Go to a taster session at your local college or community centre, or sample a few of the thousands of online courses there are out there.
It might take a while for something to click for you, but when it does, you'll be unstoppable.
4. Decide how you'll learn
These days, there are more ways to learn than ever before. (Thanks internet.)
If you'd like to learn a language, apps like Duolingo can help. Future make-up artist, DIY pro or guitar hero? YouTube is for you.
If your niche is more specialised, you'd be surprised how many topics are covered by MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). Whether it's comic books, programming, cinematography, dinosaurs, gamification theory or jazz, you're sure to find something to pique your fancy. Plus, they're often run by some of the most respected universities on the planet – for example, check out Harvard's EdX.
If you need a qualification, you don't need to quit your job and go to uni. Sign up for college part time, or take one of the many online professional courses available (like ours!). Just make sure it's accredited so that what you learn will count when you put it on your CV.
Adult learning is so different from school because no one is making you learn. You have an infinite number of subjects to study and countless ways to go about it. Take our advice, and you will find something that rekindles the flame.
It's never too late to learn how different your life could be.

Family comedy made in Italy. EnricoAudonino directors and Francesco Calabrese, was released in 2015. This is a simple and rather interesting story, the life of a simple Italian teenager who is not burdened by any conventions of what in his life. He simple desires, common dreams, and he does not care about the fact that it is happening around, even when it comes to his family. Especially at Maykolma, is brewing a huge chance to break away on all cylinders. His parents decided to spend the holidays without family. What could be better for a teenager left without adult supervision in such a wonderful day off in all respects, to do whatever he wants your soul, and no one explaining nothing. And in this age when hormones play and have in mind a pretty girlfriend, which has painted all the plans for the near future. And suddenly such a bummer. Everything went very wrong, because instead of the girls appear younger brother, who is fixated on the singer Michael Jackson, and fanatically tries to imitate his idol in all, and in addition to everything comes grandfather, with their "cockroaches in my head." The old person has his quirks, he is convinced that man is born naked, and he had all his life to go naked. Although it may be, just shy of clothes, but that did nor easier. It would seem that everything went down the drain, and recreation and entertainment with a girl and carefree days, but it is only the beginning of the crazy adventures of our hero. After all, they, the three of us go on a journey. With TK-Movie.com you can download Maicol Jecson full movie in HD quality.

verb (used with or without object), orchestrated, orchestrating.
1 – to compose or arrange (music) for performance by an orchestra.
2 – to arrange or manipulate, especially by means of clever or thorough planning or maneuvering.
I've been in the security trenches for the last 16 years. I've designed, built, consulted on, and operated information security solutions for both government and commercial entities. One truth has always rung clear – there is no single product to solve the problem – firewalls, IDS/IPS, application firewalls, endpoint protection, and the list goes on & on.
We need enforcement & enrichment solutions. We need IPS & endpoint malware protection, firewall & risk mitigation tools, intel feeds, hardened platforms, risk plans, mitigation plans, etc. – because they all solve our security problems.
With this "security stack" in every organization, we need to evolve our thinking to connecting the layers of the stack – rather than just adding the next new product to the top – before the stack falls over. Maybe it already has?
Imagine a wall built from bricks – no bricks, no wall – but what about the mortar? A wall is just a stack of bricks without the mortar.
They say the sum is greater than the individual parts. Today, the sum is the analyst or operator. The operator collecting data, who has to correlate and then react to the data from each layer of the stack – continuously on a mission to enrich the event in order to determine if corrective action needs to happen at an enforcement, end, or access control point.
As engineers, we are wired to solve the problem at hand, but that focus has led us to this point where we are forced to manually work the security stack. Advanced operations teams, have invested time and resources to connect some layers of the stack. They have written scripts that pull the data we need based on correlation activities. Though it feels like progress when we are in the trenches, it simply does not scale. These operations teams are faced with the challenge of moving capable security analysts into development and maintenance activities, rather than secops. Continuing this way won't solve the problem. It just makes it more complex. We try to throw more people at the problem, but even that is reaching a point of diminishing returns – all while we are seeing fewer qualified applicants in the job market.
After 16 years in the trenches, I see the power of Automation & Orchestration. It's the mortar that connects the bricks to make the wall bigger and stronger. It has to be an open model though. One where the community is free to create and enhance the solutions needed to solve this problem. That's how me make progress.

"One in Five Americans Exaggerate Illness for Sympathy."
That is the key finding from a "study" released by Vicks, the popular cough drop company. After scouring the internet for the contents of this study we came up empty-handed. We could not find one peer reviewed publication and of course we cannot review the methodology used to conduct this "study". Our data scientist contacted Vicks but we have yet to receive any information.
As an organization we find reports like this to be highly irresponsible. We represent more than 100,000 people living with a chronic disease and we know that the stigma people face is real. We know the frustration and hopelessness people battling disease feel. We know that healthy people don't understand how devastating a chronic disease can be especially when the person "doesn't look sick".
As a person living with migraines (thankfully mostly controlled) I know some people may say I'm "exaggerating" when I mention that I am having one, or when I talk about how debilitating they can be, or that they think I use my headaches as an excuse to get sympathy. This is exactly why many don't seek treatment and don't share what they going through. They are afraid they will be judged as weak, whinny, or "exaggerating".
We know that Vicks likely doesn't have ill intentions. But know this Vicks, you are not helping or comforting me or the members of the CreakyJoints community when you publish reports like this. We hope Vicks finds ways to work with all people, sick and healthy, and recognize the negative impact this "study" has on people who aren't looking for sympathy but are very sick.

"Kid-safe, pet-safe and odorless with industrial-strength cleaning capacity, a demand for consumer sized packaging was increasing."
Hackettstown, NJ (PRWEB) April 15, 2017
Ultra One Clean, along with the Product Managers of AsSeenOnTV.pro, and Kevin Harrington, one of the original Sharks from hit reality series Shark Tank, are pleased to announce the launch of a new DRTV campaign
Ultra One Clean was originally developed to serve as a safe, non-caustic, mild, water-based industrial cleansing detergent. It was formulated to be capable of capturing and neutralizing air pollution generated from coal-burning power plant smoke stacks. However, it was found to be safer and more effective than the leading cleaners and degreasers; great for general home use, as well as industrial and civic applications.
The NY NJ Port Authority chose Ultra One Clean to be the principal cleansing system for the walls of the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels. A powerful cleaning and degreasing agent was needed to remove heavy hydrocarbon residue created by vehicle exhaust, along with the daily dirt and grime associated with the large volume of traffic that passes through the tunnels each week. Yet public safety concerns, especially in an enclosed tunnel, required a safe, non-toxic and environmentally-responsible product. That product is Ultra One Clean.
Ultra One has since been sold to over 10,000 individuals and entities with a 100% money back guarantee, including top racing teams, the US Coast Guard, The NY NJ Port Authority and hundreds of commercial cleaning companies. Not only has there never been a request for a refund, but customer reviews and testimonials have flooded in by mail, email and phone. Customers rave about its non-toxic, odorless, asthma, kid and pet friendly formula and send in pictures from all over the world showing the powerful cleaning action of Ultra One.
"We are both elated and honored that Kevin Harrington and his team at AsSeenOnTV.pro are working with Ultra One Clean products to be the spotlight for this upcoming eco-friendly commercial," says John Salvia, Owner of Ultra One Clean. "Being given the opportunity to showcase Ultra One Clean for its safe, biodegradable and odorless qualities to such a large platform is, once again, an honor."
"We're glad to have Ultra One Clean on board for its upcoming campaign with As Seen On TV," says Paul Douglas Scott, Executive Producer at AsSeenOnTV.pro. "If you've ever shopped 'green', you understand that safe products are not always the most powerful, but Ultra One Clean is capable of changing this stigma and establishing a better environment for its consumers and the planet."
As part of its DRTV campaign with AsSeenOnTV.pro, Ultra One Clean will be appearing in 30 and 60 second spots set to air nationwide and feature the original Shark himself, Kevin Harrington. AsSeenOnTV.pro is comprised of an award-winning team of producers, writers, videographers, and editors as well as industry veterans dedicated to finding the latest, most innovative products and ideas, and putting them on the DRTV map.
About AsSeenOnTV.pro
Headquartered in South Florida, AsSeenOnTV.pro is a full-service production, branding, and marketing company that specializes in direct response television, short- and long-form commercials, and brand building.

KIGALI- The Ministry of Lands and Environment, yesterday, inaugurated 90 rain water tanks distributed in Rweru Sector in Bugesera District as the country marked Water Week.
The 5,000-litre tanks which cost over Rwf790 million, were provided by the government in an effort to improve people's welfare.
The tanks are attached to 90 homes
According to the beneficiaries, their lives have been improved since they received the tanks, and no longer need to trek long distances in search of water.
"We used to walk 15 to 20 km to fetch water, but now we can use rain water for more than two months even after the rains have stopped," said Vincent Rukongi, one of the beneficiaries.
Robert Muvunyi, another beneficiary said: "We have managed to put up home gardens and this is as a result of this rain water."
The government also provided valley dams for irrigation.
Environment Minister, Stanislas Kamanzi, noted that the government has stepped up a rain water harvest initiatives as an alternative way to make water accessible in the rural areas.
"If well embraced, this, rain water will increase the standard of living, especially during dry seasons," Kamanzi said, adding that saving rain water helps in the conservation of the environment.
In a related development, the Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority (EWSA) also launched a water reservoir in Gahanga Sector in Kicukiro District. The reservoir will supply water to residents living in the outskirts of the district.
According to the Director General of EWSA, Yves Muyange, the reservoir cost Rwf 640 million.
The African Development Bank representative, Orison Amu, said the bank was glad to continue being involved in the national water development.
"We will continue supporting line ministries so that every community has access to clean water," Amu said. AfDB granted over Rwf 700 million for the initiative.

Amber Rose Shows Off Post-Baby Body On Date Night With Wiz Khalifa [PHOTO]
Amber Rose is hanging out on the town more with fiancé Wiz Khalifa now that their son, Sebastian, is 4 months old. Earlier this week, the pair attended the Supper Club, partying with rapper Lil' Kim.
"I think I might go out tonight after Bash goes to sleep. ... Mommies need some fun time every now and then" the 29-year-old model tweeted.
Though Rose has not lost all the weight she gained from her pregnancy, she certainly is not letting that keep her from showing off her new body, as she showed off her legs in a green, patterned skirt.
Rose recently admitted that she weighed 202 pounds at the peak of her pregnancy, though people were unable to tell because of her height -- she tops 5'7". Now, she's working out for an hour-and-a-half each day with celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins to lose the extra weight. She has already lost 30 pounds but admits it's a challenge.
"It's hard to get off baby weight. It's a different kind of weight, because for nine months you stretch your stomach out, and then it's hard to get that back. I'm working on it," she told "E! News."
Meanwhile, this month, Khalifa is on the upcoming issue of "Sister 2 Sister" and talks about whether he was worried about Rose gaining weight and his son, Sebastian. "Naw!" the rapper replied when asked about concern over his fiancé gaining weight.
"People look at her like a model, you know what I mean? But she's a regular person. So as long as the baby's healthy, as long as the pregnancy is happy, that's pretty much all that we were worried about."
He also addressed how he felt after seeing his son for the first time. "Probably just more happy, more excited. I waited nine months for him. I'd, in my head, kind of built up what I thought he would look like, what I thought he would sound like, and then just finally when he came it was like that relief, like, "Yo, he's here."

With all of the recent racial and police tensions, I thought that it would be good timing to ride along with a friend who is a police officer. As a side note, my friend and I discussed the tensions around the country. From my limited experiences in the law enforcement world I could see that most citizens are respectable (relationally speaking) and most officers are, as well. Complexities lie in the few…. but this is for another day.
Amongst the answers to my twenty other questions, my friend and I were discussing why an officer would run around to the back of the car if someone (a "threat") was running towards them. He said (my paraphrase), "Make space. You have to make space between yourself and the threat. That's your best weapon."
Make space.
I thought about how true that is for every "threat" we experience. Financial. Time prioritization. Health. People. Rest. Physical harm.
It's not about getting as close to the threat as possible to see what we are dealing with, rather the idea is to not get backed into a literal or metaphorical corner… to provide enough space between the threat and us to allow for analysis and non-reactionary thinking. Also, allowing space seems to often let the threat play out.
This is simple and brilliant. So relevant.
From a friend who happens to be a law enforcement officer.

Walking across the stage at graduation is undeniably one of life's biggest milestones, and it was a moment that Patrick Ivison was determined not to miss.
Ivison was just 14 months old when he suffered a life-changing injury. He was taking a walk with his mother when a driver backed out of a driveway after a fight with his girlfriend and ran him over. A C4/C5 incomplete spinal cord injury left Ivison paralyzed and unable to walk, Fox 5 San Diego reports.
But Ivison wasn't about to to let his disabilities hold him back -- he wanted to live the life of a normal teenager. According to his family's website, helppatrickwalk.org, he "...plays wheelchair rugby, has learned how to kayak, ski and even surf using adaptive equipment ... He has even hand-cycled in 6 half marathons." One of Patrick's many accomplishments now includes walking at his high school graduation. Last week at Scripps High School in San Diego, Patrick got out of his wheelchair and received his diploma to a standing ovation.

I 've been looking up this sample code for working with GZipStream (compressing string to byte array and vice versa) several times now. There are numerous samples available that show how to work with GZipStream, but most of them seem overly complex for the task at hand. I've settled on this version:
public static byte Compress(string text) { using (var ms = new MemoryStream()) { using (var zip = new GZipStream(ms, CompressionMode.Compress)) using (var writer = new StreamWriter(zip, Encoding.UTF8)) { writer.Write(text); } return ms.ToArray(); } }
public static string Decompress(byte[] compressed) { using (var ms = new MemoryStream(compressed)) using (var zip = new GZipStream(ms, CompressionMode.Decompress)) using (var sr = new StreamReader(zip, Encoding.UTF8)) { return sr.ReadToEnd(); } }

I don't recall New York City, or Philadelphia, or even Roanoke, ever having a Constitution Day. But, they had one in Newcastle. At the intersection of Rt 311 and Rt 42, Newcastle, Virginia, held a day to celebrate the Constitution. Churches, business and civic groups, musicians, vendors, and spectators converged in the middle of the street...no, that's not right. They could not close the street for some reason. Not enough time for all the proper permits to move through bureaucracy. So the street was open with vendors on the sidewalk.
Looking closely you could see this was different from some other festivals you may have been to. Most notably, practically everyone was wearing a firearm. You see, this was supposed to be Open Carry Day. I was told they could not call it Open Carry Day due to insurance concerns. So they called it Constitution Day. Which was a good thing. They celebrated free speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to bear arms. They also celebrated good food, bluegrass music, and small town friendliness.
Bluegrass music, burgers and BBQ, handmade crafts, and a Cowboy style shootin' match on the courthouse lawn, and smiles everywhere. The food was inexpensive and you got to see state champion fast draw action. Those people were fast. If you are not familiar with single action revolvers you will not appreciate how fast those competitors were.
Constitution day was not as well attended as I remember from last year's Open Carry Day; but the people were just as nice and welcoming to a guy walking around with a camera. In the Spring Newcastle will host the Prepper's Festival on April 18. That will be the second year for that event and will attract thousands.
At one time, about one hundred years ago, Newcastle was a bustling mining town. Taking advantage of its rural location and using social media, Newcastle is being discovered as great place to enjoy the outdoors and find some unique folk art.
You will also be able to find someone who can school you on muzzle velocity, hand loading, building a fire without matches, and bullet drop at 400 meters.
Some will shy away from this type of gathering. And it is unfortunate that some of the things celebrated in Newcastle cause such polarization, even in southwest Virginia. My conversations and questions made a few people cringe and I was not expecting some of the harsh attitude. Well, maybe I was expecting it, I just didn't want to believe some people can close their minds so tightly.
The news today has most of the world expecting the United States to lead the charge against terrorism and a deadly pandemic. The U.S.A. did not become the nation that others look to for help by being divided. But we should not wait until the last possible moment to come together to over come a global threat. (Stepping off soapbox)
Constitution Day was fun, colorful, musical, educational, and peaceful. Good job Newcastle.

Graph shows that there are more gun stores in the U.S. than grocery stores, McDonald's and Starbucks combined.
THE ease at which you can purchase a firearm in the US is, sadly, a hot topic yet again.
After a gunman opened fire on revellers at the Pulse nightclub in Florida this week, people are calling for tighter gun control.
Senator Murphy said he would remain on the Senate floor "until we get some signal, some sign that we can come together", as he also evoked the Newtown school shooting in 2012.
He said he cannot look into the eyes of those children's relatives and tell them Congress has done nothing since.
The filibuster lasted more than 14 hours, at which point Republicans apparently agreed to hold votes on tighter gun control measures.
Just in case you were wanting a clearer picture of America's love affair with guns, here's a graph from online statistics portal Statista.
It shows that there are more gun dealers in the US than there are supermarkets, McDonald's and Starbucks put together.
As The Independent observed, "there are more places to buy weapons to shoot people with than there are to feed yourself in two of the biggest chains in the world".
If you want another seriously sobering visual, there's an interactive map at 1Point21that gives a clear picture of just how easy it is to find a gun shop in the US.

Tons of Great Feedback; Challenge of Growth
Since the beta launch of our weather app for Chromecast a month ago, we've had tons of wonderful feedback from the community.
Along with the comforting, "I love your app!" responses, several feature requests have been submitted and even a few bug reports. The response from users all over the world has been great for our team and we're taking each suggestion to heart as we continue to improve our app and service.
Our biggest challenge recently has been handling the shear number of new users coming from recent mentions on reddit and GigaOm.
The decision was made just before launch to skip user signups and logins and allow casting immediately upon visiting the site. While this allows for a better user experience, it presents some infrastructure headache when it comes to traffic spikes.
One of the largest of these spikes came from reddit where we saw a 300% increase in the number of users of our weather app. Thankfully, our back-end systems and API fared well during the load, but for a while there we were scrambling to make sure everything held together.
Growth is exciting and we're definitely enjoying the ride. Our next beta update is nearing completion and will include several of the suggestions made by our users. To keep up with the latest changes, feel free to join our mailing list.

Acer 28.8 TAD-DSVD PnP 1.xx
Device driver details
Manufacturer: Acer Corporation
Caution Level: Safe
Operating System: Windows 95/98/2000/XP/2003/NT
Latest Version / Release Date: NA / NA
Before you download: We recommend you scan Windows for registry errors
Windows device driver information for Acer 28.8 TAD-DSVD PnP 1.xx
This is another of those devices that failed to see the market's approval and were considered for further testing and development. Acer 28.8 TAD-DSVD PnP 1.xx is both a modem and a fax card. It also contains a Line in, line out, microphone in, speaker out with a maximum modem and a fax rate of 14.4 Kbps. Its data and fax modulation protocol utilizes Bell 103/212 and ITU-T V.21, V.22, V.22bis, V.32 and V.32bis. Like many devices sold in the market nowadays, this is basically a modem. The term 'modem' comes from the words modulator and demodulator. It was then abbreviated to "modem" and has been used that way eversince. This is a device that first modulates an analog carrier signal to program digital information. It also demodulates a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information. This is done in order to produce a signal that is easily sent as well as decoded to replicate the original data. It mostly uses analog signals from driven diodes to radio. The common usage of this device is through connecting your personal computer or laptop in the Internet. The amount of data in the modem is measured through bits per second or bps. You may see this when you have successfully connect your computer or laptop in the Internet.
Outdated Network and modem Drivers?
A. Manually verify every device on your system for driver updates
B. Automatically scan all your device drivers using DriverScanner
These wide band modems send repeating frames of data at very high data rates over microwave radio links. Reports also say that a number of microwave modems can only send more than a hundred million bits per second. Radio networks, on the other hand, use only narrow band radio modems. This is mostly used for low data rate up to 19.2k. A new different type of modem, known as the optical modem, sends out data over optical fibers. This can be seen through most intercontinental data links. Most of their constructions use optical modems transmitting over undersea optical fibers. Data rates for optical modems are counted in excess of a billion (1x109) bits per second. Another way of measuring is through Baud, which counts the number of times the modem changes its signal state per second. A lot of high speed and advanced modems are being invented nowadays. These are known as cable modems, DSL and or ADSL modems. In big industries notably in telecommunications, they use a wide band radio modems. It is highly recommended you run a free registry scan for and Acer 28.8 TAD-DSVD PnP 1.xx errors before installing any driver updates.

This weekend, Larry and I and the wonderful Nick (who leads our Wed. night knit-crochet group) take off for a long day in Columbus, OH, at the TNNA trade show. This is the big-deal expo where we can see what the various yarn companies are offering for the upcoming fall-winter season, and where we also can study designs -- I confess that I go mostly to see what is going on in the design and color world. But -- we get to hug friends. I also want to introduce Nick to a couple of particularly good friends. He's there to help me select new, exciting goods for the shop. He's young; I am (shall we say) less young. But he's also there to study the scene: I think that Nick will be a sweater designer before long.
I will make report when we return -- I hope with some photographs, if the camera works this time. I am not permitted to photograph the individual vendor booths (the show is huge, and much is copyrighted), but I can sneak some general views of the terrifyingly large market floor with my cell phone, I think. svb

by Timothy Basil Ering (Candlewick, 2017)
One of my all time favorite picture books is The Story of Frog Belly Rat Bone, which I wrote about here. That's Timothy's! I'm so excited to have him here today and to give you a peek of his latest book, a total delight, The Story of Alfred Fiddleduckling.
Check out this synopsis and see what I mean.
Captain Alfred is sailing home with new ducks for his farm when his little boat is caught in an unexpected and mighty storm. Everything aboard the ship is flung to the far reaches of the sea, including the very special and beautiful duck egg he had nestled safely inside his fiddle case. But perhaps all is not lost: the little duckling stumbles out of his shell and discovers Captain Alfred's fiddle, floating not too far away in the waves. And when the duckling embraces the instrument with all his heart, what happens next is pure magic. Through an enchanting read-aloud text and beautiful artwork, award-winning author-illustrator Timothy Basil Ering shares a thrilling and fantastical story of a farmer, a gentle old lady, a dancing dog, and one brave, tiny duckling that will warm the heart.
Welcome, Timothy!
How did you get into picture books?
The foundation to my career as an illustrator was The Art Center in Pasadena CA. I don't know where I'd be without that amazing training from a melting pot of truly amazing teachers. One of the biggest starts for me just before I graduated was when I caught word that an art director was visiting Pasadena for a day to look at student portfolios. Making that appointment to show my portfolio, which was a soup of all kinds of stuff, was one of those "OMG, I'm so glad I did this!" moments.
The art director, Lynette Rushchak, showed particular interest in the textures I was creating, and in my figure and anatomy drawings. She told me that she was looking for an illustrator that could create aged, distressed, anatomical figure drawings that were reminiscent of old DaVinci drawings. When my eyes lit up with curiosity, she asked me if I'd be interested to illustrate an exciting manuscript she had that was written by author, Roscoe Cooper. Of coarse I was thrilled about the opportunity and was all in! That project was The Diary Of Victor Frankenstein. After lots and lots of drawing, DKink, NY published the book and it was released in 1997. It was the 1st book I illustrated. The project was fantastic fun!
Trying to manipulate paper to give the appearance that the paper was hundreds of years old was part of the project that I really enjoyed, and creating pen and ink, and charcoal drawings of strange experiments and macabre anatomical illustrations was a blast. What's more is that I illustrated that book on a small 30-foot boat! I had at that time also made a commitment to a 5-month sailing voyage alone with my father on that boat from Florida to Guatemala and back. It was an adventure that I will never forget! Creating art for that book hooked me deep with interest to illustrate more books!
And more books came.
After illustrating 3 more books by different authors, including a children's pop-up picture book, I became more and more excited, interested, anxious, and determined to see if I could write and illustrate my own book. After hours, days, weeks, and months of writing and re-writing and scribbling and sketching and re-drawing, I was ready to show the work and I pulled off what seemed to be the impossible- getting in the door of a publisher to have a meeting to show the work and my ideas! It was a meeting with editor and publisher Karen Lotz in NY that launched the beginning of a dream. It was a meeting that I thank my lucky stars for every day! With Karen Lotz and Candlewick Press, my 1st book, that I both wrote and illustrated, was published in 2003, and this was the beginning of my ongoing, magical, and SO appreciated adventure in making books with Candlewick Press!
Where did Alfred Fiddleduckling's story come from?
I had bits and pieces of dead end ideas for a story that I was trying to write around two characters I had imagined. The two characters had great potential that I did not want to give up on. One character was a duck named Alfred that played the fiddle. The other was a duck dog that did not like duck hunting but loved to dance, and in particular, he loved to dance to the fiddle! So, whenever I imagined my two characters interacting out in a marsh somewhere, it made me laugh, but the story just wasn't going anywhere.
Whenever I hit a wall over and over again when I'm writing or art making, the way I clear my mind from frustration is to go fishing. Lots of ideas come to me when I'm out on the water fishing. So one day, during a "getting nowhere writing day," I grabbed my fishing rod and hit the beach. I waded across the shallow flats through the water until I was about a ¼ mile off shore standing in waist deep water casting and thinking and relaxing and doing what I love to do when unexpectedly a huge thick white fog bank rolled in off the ocean right to me. I was locked in fog. I love the ocean, and extreme weather, so watching this fog was awesome but more so it got me thinking about a new element in my story! Fog! I had been lost and struggling in my story, and oddly enough, as I stood offshore, in waist deep water, in the fog, things became super clear to me! The fog made me think of mariners from long ago getting lost at sea in the fog, and it made me think of widows. Wow! 3 new ideas! The fog, a sea captain, and the sea captain's wife were new ideas that immediately began to thread themselves into my dead end ideas and I knew just what to do with Alfred and the dog!
Normally I stay in the water until I catch fish but that day was a day I couldn't get to my sketchbook fast enough! I jogged through the water, across the beach, up through the woods to my truck and sat in it dripping wet, writing so fast it looked like chicken scratch!
Can you tell us about your process?
I like to experiment with lots of different art making mediums. Which mediums I choose to use depends on the project. For The Unexpected Love Story Of Alfred Fiddleduckling, I used acrylic paint, charcoal, and pen and ink on paper for the interior art. I used acrylic paint on wood and canvas for the book cover. For most of the illustrations I worked on 19" X 24" paper. I created charcoal drawings first, and then painted on top of the drawings. However, some of the illustrations were started with paint first, then drawing over paint, then paint again.
Whatever mediums I use for my art, there will be several layers applied and mixed before I finish a piece. I like to start an image by loosely rubbing, scribbling, smearing, or washing the medium all over the surface that I'm drawing or painting on. I'd say I use my hands to move the mediums around as much as I use brushes, especially when using charcoal. I use charcoal pencils, and graphite pencils but I also love to grind pigment from the pencils or sticks onto the surface I'm working on so that I can rub the pigment, or smear it, and make shapes and forms and marks with my hands.
I'm definitely very inspired by the way children apply art-making mediums. At the beginning of a drawing or painting, I like to move the mediums around quickly to increase the potential for mistakes that can lead to unique things that happen to shapes and forms and colors. I'm always keenly watching for interesting visual things to happen and when they do, I stop to look and react to their beautiful possibilities. To me, mistakes show positive possibilities that I might not have imagined were there when I started. There's a lot of trial and error, lots of mistakes, and different reactions to my mistakes. If something doesn't work visually, it's fun to deconstruct it by erasing or painting over it, and then to reconstruct it again with different color, or value, or size, or whatever it takes so that it does visually work. I also like to glue more paper, or canvas, or wood if needed to make room for more imagery rather than to start over again on a new surface. Sometimes I cut pieces of art from a piece to move it somewhere else in the piece or collage onto a completely different piece.
Below is an example of starting with a charcoal drawing. The paint was applied over the drawing.
Below is the beginning of the application of paint over a charcoal drawing.
Below is an example of starting with a loose painting.
The two drawings below of the gentle lady wearing a gray wool coat are examples of developing a charcoal drawing over a wash of paint, and they show how much my drawings change while I'm developing them.
Below you can see how much my scribbled drawing of Alfred shrunk in size before I started painting him.
The next two drawings below are examples of experiments with paint, ideas, textures, and composition during my process of figuring out these illustrations.
Believe it or not, the image below of this beautiful glob is actually my kneaded erasure that I pinched into a quick reference sculpture of Alfred Fiddleduckling playing his fiddle. I used it to help myself envision and draw the following illustration of Alfred playing his fiddle.
I used pen and ink to create the title text.
Who are some of your story heroes?
When I was in high school, I had a hard time finding books that captured my interest quick enough to keep me pouring through the pages until I read White Fang by Jack London. I love the outdoors, nature, wild animals, and adventure, so I really enjoyed that story, so much so that when I finished that book I remember wanting to see what else Jack London wrote. It was easy to find Call Of The Wild and I loved that story too. Again I searched for another story to read by Jack London and chose Sea Wolf and loved that one too! So, one of my story writing heroes is Jack London.
Another story writing hero of mine is Irving Stone. It only took one book of his to make him a hero of mine. It's a big book entitled The Agony And The Ecstasy. What kept me into every page was Irving Stone's wonderful descriptions of the life and times of my favorite artist, Michael Angelo. It was awesome! And Kate DiCamillo is not only a story writing hero of mine, but she also created a story book hero of mine- Despereaux.*
*Which Timothy illustrated! What a pair.
What's your favorite piece of art in your house?
A single-haired paint brush painting of an owl by an artist from India who paints masterfully with a tiny, tiny, tiny one haired brush!
What's next for you?
I am working hard on my next children's picture book, but its waaaaaayy too early to say anything about it except that I'm struggling with fighting the good fight and I think I need to go fishing!
Thanks, Timothy! I can't wait to see how that next fishing trip turns out.

ARMIN VAN BUUREN : "Making music is very organic."/
One of the most exciting and most anticipated sets at TomorrowWorld is, without a doubt, Armin van Buuren's. He's seasoned, talented, passionate about music and really loves his fans. It was a thrill for me (being a fan myself) to have the opportunity to sit with Armin just hours before his closing set. He had flown in from the west coast earlier in the day and though he should have been quite tired, you wouldn't have known it. Armin was welcoming, friendly and inspiring. We had a candid chat about EDM, the creative process and playing for massive audiences. Armin van Buuren's latest studio album, Embrace, drops October 29th.

"In the first poll since John Kerry locked up the Democratic nomination, Kerry and President Bush are tied while independent Ralph Nader has captured enough support to affect the outcome, validating Democrats' fears."
6%? 6%? I simply can't believe that. And you know that they must be polling in states where it doesn't matter--I think people in swing states are going to know better this time around.

This has been on my mind for some time. As an avid viewer of Stephen Colbert, The Daily Show, Seth Meyer and John Oliver - these guys are having a field day with Trump. It makes my morning. We do not have the same equivalent here. The closest we have are panel shows like HIGNFY and Mock The Week. These shows, while fun, are not cutting or have a point. Even Spitting Image back in the 80s took more risks than what we get today
This Indy article brought up my own sentiments
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-enter ... 70566.html
With the world's politics so blatantly stupid from almost all sides of the argument, it is a gold dust for political comedians. Where the fuck are the Brits who are so good at this thing ?
Is it lack of originality from TV producers, or are they too scared to do anything but play safe all the time ?

An integrated circuit operational amplifier is a high-gain, direct-coupled differential amplifier with very high input and very low output impedance. (E7G12) They are very versatile components. They can be used used to build amplifiers, filter circuits, and many other types of circuits that do analog signal processing.
Because they are active components–that is to say that they amplify–filters made with op amps are called active filters. The most appropriate use of an op-amp active filter is as an audio filter in a receiver. (E7G06). An advantage of using an op-amp instead of LC elements in an audio filter is that op-amps exhibit gain rather than insertion loss. (E7G03)
The values of capacitors and resistors external to the op-amp primarily determine the gain and frequency characteristics of an op-amp RC active filter. (E7G01) The type of capacitor best suited for use in high-stability op-amp RC active filter circuits is polystyrene. (E7G04) Polystyrene capacitors are used in applications where very low distortion is required.
Ringing in a filter may cause undesired oscillations to be added to the desired signal. (E7G02) One way to prevent unwanted ringing and audio instability in a multi-section op-amp RC audio filter circuit is to restrict both gain and Q. (E7G05)
Calculating the gain of an op amp circuit is relatively straightforward. The gain is simply RF/Rin. In figure E7-4 below, Rin = R1. Therefore, the magnitude of voltage gain that can be expected from the circuit in Figure E7-4 when R1 is 10 ohms and RF is 470 ohms is 470/10, or 47. (E7G07) The absolute voltage gain that can be expected from the circuit in Figure E7-4 when R1 is 1800 ohms and RF is 68 kilohms is 68,000/1,800, or 38. (E7G10) The absolute voltage gain that can be expected from the circuit in Figure E7-4 when R1 is 3300 ohms and RF is 47 kilohms is 47,000/3,300, or 14. (E7G11)
-2.3 volts will be the output voltage of the circuit shown in Figure E7-4 if R1 is 1000 ohms, RF is 10,000 ohms, and 0.23 volts dc is applied to the input. (E7G09) The gain of the circuit will be 10,000/1,000 or 10, and the output voltage will be equal to the input voltage times the gain. 0.23 V x 10 = 2.3 V, but since the input voltage is being applied to the negative input, the output voltage will be negative.
Two characteristics that make op amps desirable components is their input impedance and output impedance. The typical input impedance of an integrated circuit op-amp is very high. (E7G14) This feature makes them useful in measurement applications. The typical output impedance of an integrated circuit op-amp is very low. (E7G15)
The gain of an ideal operational amplifier does not vary with frequency. (E7G08) Most op amps aren't ideal, though. While some modern op amps can be used at high frequencies, many of the older on the older ones can't be used at frequencies above a couple of MHz.
Ideally, with no input signal, there should be no voltage difference between the two input terminals. Since no electronic component is ideal, there will be a voltage between these two terminals. We call this the input offset voltage. Put another way, the op-amp input-offset voltage is the differential input voltage needed to bring the open-loop output voltage to zero. (E7G13)

Gil Scott-Heron Dead at 62
The artist and activist's cause of death is not yet known.
Musician and activist Gil Scott-Heron died Friday at age 62. The cause of death has not yet been released, but the artist had reportedly been sick following a trip to Europe, and he had been hospitalized over the past few days. Scott-Heron, perhaps best known for his spoken-word piece "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," was recently sampled on Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He had also been working with The xx's Jamie Smith of late. The 2010 New Yorker profile is online for free today. [NYT] Related: The Weary Blues [NYM]

India ranks 4th among countries with most number of users who clicked malicious URLs in 2015
New Delhi, May 27, 2016 – Trend Micro prevented about 5.16 billion malicious files from infecting devices in 2015. While this number seems huge, it is half of what was blocked in 2014. As mentioned in previous quarters, this downward trend is reflective of the changes in the global threat landscape. These include file-less malware installations and threats that are not entirely malware-based such as exploit kits.
Since the most common infection vectors are spam and malicious URLs, individuals and organizations can benefit from email and web reputation and filtering. It also always advised for organizations, especially very large enterprises, to back up critical data in case of ransomware outbreaks within their network.
The Trend Micro Smart Protection Network blocked over 52 billion threats in 2015, a 25% decrease from 2014. This decrease is consistent with the downward trend of system infections since 2012, caused by attackers who have become more selective of their targets as well as the shift in technologies they use.

Post split from another thread by SeanB - I think we were starting to confuse what should have been a relatively simple issue.
Isn't it amazing to be able to separate fact from fantasy? Why wouldn't you be able to put Hydrochloric Acid in a pool, where it will release Chlorine ions into your water? Wouldn't 5 seconds of reflection tell you that it's probably the best acid to use in your pool BECAUSE it's hydrochloric acid?Originally Posted by mcftlf
It's like the pool store guy telling me "Oh, you don't want to use bleach--it raises your total dissolved solids!" What is that dissolved solid it's adding? Salt! Sodium Chloride (Hey! More chlorine ions!) And if you use bleach for 5 years in your pool you still won't reach the salt levels needed for .....your salt-water generator! So....fact vs fiction.
