Student Testimonials
My name is Victoria, I am from Brazil and I am a graduate student of Biotechnology. I had the opportunity to study at DCU for 1 academic year in 2013 and it turned out to be one of the best experiences I could ever have. DCU is an extraordinary university with the best infra-structure a student could ask for.
The campus feels like it is an entire town, you have everything you need around you: pharmacy, gym, supermarket, restaurant and an excellent big and high technology library.
DCU provides a great environment for learning and also socializing. There are several clubs and societies run by the students in the university. Joining these clubs and societies allowed me to interact with more students, get involved in different activities, and develop some soft skills.
The international office team at DCU is extremely efficient and helpful. Events were organized by them, so the international students would get together and also informative workshops on our year abroad were held in our first week of classes. Their support was essential throughout the year and I could always count on them.
While in DCU, I was lectured by incredible professors, who were really passionate about teaching and had enormous knowledge of their subjects. The topics addressed in classes were always very relevant and current, making everything more interesting.
I can say that studying at DCU had a great influence on my career's choices and helped me set a professional pathway. I had a wonderful experience at DCU, and I am very grateful for that.

What I'm Reading: One Breath
One Breath: Freediving, Death, and the Quest to Shatter Human Limits
by Adam Skolnick
"... freediving is both an athletic quest to push the limits of the body and mind, and a spiritual experience."
As a science nerd, water lover, avid
scuba diver
wannabe mermaid
, I was instantly drawn to this title.
One Breathe
tells the story of Nick Mevoli, an award-winning free diver who, in 2013, tragically lost his life doing what he loved most - pushing limits and exploring the depths.
For those unfamiliar with the extreme sport of free diving, it is where a trained swimmer packs as much air as they can into their lungs and plunges as deep as they possibly can into the sea, often as far as 100 meters or more. There's no oxygen tank involved, just that one breath to keep him or her going throughout their journey. It tests the limits of the human body in the most hostile environment on the planet. As the first athlete to die in an international free diving competition, Mevoli's death brought into question the impact of diving deep on the body and the ultimate risks involved with the sport. Lung squeeze in free diving is comparable to a concussion in hockey or football - completely misunderstood for so many years, but as it occurs more and more, is being taken more seriously.
In this title, Skolnick dives into our body's physiology and how humans are able to continue to push the limits and dive where no person has dove before. He gives an insight into the sport and its competitive nature, yet shares how everyone involved is very much a family, challenging each other to push their limits and dive deeper.
The book did a great job at keeping me intrigued and engaged from beginning to end, alternating between snippets of Melvoli's personal life and his competition life. However, while Skolnick's narrative of this underwater sport makes it sound exhilarating, I think I'll stick to exploring what lies beneath the surface with my air supply strapped to my back.

Learning about trees, care
Twelve people joined arborists from across the state on Oct. 3 during a public tour of the Ehmen Park arboretum.
Justin Evertson, who's employed by the Nebraska Forest Service, said Ehmen is one of his favorite parks because of the diversity of trees.Evertson said three trees grow in the park that aren't normally found in central Nebraska. They include the June snow dogwood, Cornelian cherry dogwood and Japanese emperor oak.
At least 20 species of trees in the park won't be found anywhere else in Dawson County or this part of Nebraska, Evertson said.

Eckhart says, "Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself. When you look at it or hold it and let it be without imposing a word of mental label on it, a sense of awe, of wonder, arises within you. Its essence silently communicates itself to you and reflects your own essence back to you."
Photographer Michele Penn explains how she was drawn to flowers through Eckhart's teachings and through her own life experience. "This is what happened to me. Flowers brought me to my source. A sense of awe and wonder DID arise in me. My passion is capturing that moment of beauty in a flower and sharing it with the world. My passion is fuelled by the feedback I get from helping people everywhere to open their hearts and souls to the beauty of nature, so they are able to look within. My passion is more than floral art photography; it is about getting closer to the exquisite beauty and peace that is nature."

I already have the lethal dose, the 7 mg of Amitriptyline, it's easy to get the rest for the suicidal cocktail. Now what? I'm scared that's what. What if it doesn't work and the psycho-psychiatrist I have at the moment gets me in a hospital under his control. He was talking frigging electroshock the last time I saw him. W T F!
Once I asked him, the psychiatrist, where he was from. He said he would never tell me anything about him cause he is the 'doctor' and I'm the 'patient'. Mansplaining in the most despicable way.

Hello my little love bugs! I'm back with my latest thing. We are going to be talking Morphe shadows today! If you have not tried Morphe shadows I have one question for you. What are you waiting on? They are incredible. The best part about these shadows is the fact they are so affordable. You get about 35 shadows in each palette and they range from $19.99-$22.99. These shadows are so creamy and so pigmented. When you touch them they almost feel wet. I love these shadows because they are so easy to work with. They are so blendable. You can create so many looks with just one palette. (but once you try these you will want more than one.) Their most popular palette they have is the 350. I own this palette and it is amazing. If you are a person looking for just one amazing eye shadow palette… this is the one. It is filled with amazing warm, buttery shadows. It has a great mixture of mattes and shimmers. Even though it is mostly filled with warm tones there are a few cool tones in there also. The amount of looks you can create are endless.
The other palette I own is the 35W. This pallet is perfect for Smokey eyes. It has a ton of great transition shades. It is also filled with amazing purples tones and a few black shadows. It also has some warm browns to create an amazing everyday look. Here below are some looks I have created using both of these pallets. I honestly never by shadows from the drug store anymore because these are so amazing.
You can purchase any of these palettes at morphebrushes.com. Head on over there and see the amount of endless possibilities that await you!
I hope you all enjoyed! Leave me a comment of your favorite Morphe pallet.

If I was asked to name the beauty items I couldn't live without, mascara would undoubtedly be top of that list. I could put down the popping colours of blush, leave behind the slick of liner and even scrape by without a touch of lipgloss, but for me mascara is absolutely non-negotiable. It's a fundamental part of my routine and I feel like it's the one product I'll continually swap in and out in the hunt for the holy grail that will change my life forever; although the reality is there's often a handful of wands you'll turn to for different reasons, different looks and different moods, we all seem to be on the same journey to mascara fulfilment!
Over the years I've tried probably hundreds of different wands, but I still get excited when I find a mascara that helps lift and fill out my lashes so they look as voluminous as possible. Once such moment of excitement recently came when I tried the new Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara, which claims to deliver 'instant volume that lasts all through the night' alongside bold black pigments for maximum definition. As mascaras go, there's nothing revolutionary or particularly exciting about it: it's in a plain black tube and the wand looks like the old school wands of my youth (that were all bristle to pick up maximum black stuff,) but for me the secret is in the fact its gone back to basics.
There's no innovative shape or super moulded plastic wand to capture every lash, just a refreshingly standard looking package that picks up a tonne of product to effortlessly coat every lash while lifting the lash line simultaneously. I need very little of this to make an impact, something that's a bit of a novelty for someone who usually thinks nothing of applying ten coats. The big bristly wand captures all my individual lashes and helps to lift and create volume with very little effort, while my lower lashes have never looked better and keep my eyes youthfully vibrant. If you're a fan of tonnes of volume then I've no doubt you'll love this mascara - but if you're scared of clumping or have a tendency to get mascara all around your eyes, you may want to give it a miss. It can be easy to get into a pickle if you're not careful or well practiced in the art of application!
At £21.00 for a tube this isn't cheap though. I'm a firm believer in getting what you pay for a lot of the time, but when it comes to mascaras its a bit of a rogue category: sometimes you can find a blooming brilliant product for only a couple of quid, and others a horrifyingly awful one for £25.00! There's no set rule or way of knowing what you're getting until you've tried it, which does make navigating the mascara market somewhat tricky. My collection includes some bargain makeup gems and some of the most expensive mascaras ever created, because it's not always about the innovative texture or super fancy wand design - it's about what works for you and your lash line, because no two are the same. So do you need to spend £20.00 on a mascara? Absolutely not. But will you want to? Probably...
The Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara is available online and via Lancôme counters nationwide, priced £21.00.

3D is a three-dimensional model file associated with Unreal Tournament, a popular first-person shooter game first launched in 1999 by Epic Games and Digital Extremes. 3D files can contain data about game characters, assets or animation, including number of polygons, vertices, movement etc. The format was mostly used with the game's first version of software framework: Unreal Engine 1.0.
The PS (Postscript) file format is used for vector graphics and was first introduced in the 1980s. Its main advantages are an increased quality of printing when using printers which support the Postscript computer language, and a better rendering of fonts. The PS formats was developed by Adobe and is compatible with several programs running under the Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter. Although it is fast, this software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of conversions. As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert 3Ds. But at the same time, it will allow you to apply a wide range of editing options.
reaConverter is quick to download, install and launch, and you don't need to be an IT specialist in order to understand in a few minutes how it operates.
Start reaConverter and load all the .3d files you intend to convert into .ps because, as opposed to most free online converters, reaConverter supports batch conversion. So you can save the time and energy you would lose with doing repetitive operations.
Select 3Ds from a folder or by drag-and-dropping them directly into the reaConverter window.
Go to the Saving options tab and decide where you want to save new .ps files. You can also spend a few more moments to apply additional editing to the images prepared for conversion.
Then pick the PS as output format. To help you do this, a series of buttons is conveniently placed at the bottom of the reaConverter window, so you can simply press on the one you need or click Plus button to add new options.
Then simply press the Start button and your conversion will begin in no time!Try Free Trial Version
Advanced users can convert 3D to PS via command-line interface in manual or automated mode. You are welcome to contact our technical support when you have any questions about reaConverter.Download reaConverter Pro with CLI

What You'll Get
After centuries of ridicule, baseball players have finally convinced professional crotchety-old-man Andy Rooney that running after flying orbs isn't just for men in black or Harry Potter. Celebrate baseball's newfound acceptance among Americans with today's Groupon. For $22, you get a field-box ticket to a Houston Astros game (a $39 value). You'll have your choice of seeing the Astros play the Florida Marlins on Tuesday, April 20, at 7:05 p.m. or the San Diego Padres on Saturday, May 8, at 6:05 p.m. When you click "Buy" you'll be redirected to Ticketmaster.com to complete your transaction. See below for more info on Ticketmaster fees. Choose from the following games:
As the new season dawns, the Astros are led by their big-swinging left fielder Carlos Lee, who posted a .300 average and 102 RBIs in 2009, as well as left-handed hurler Wandy Rodriguez, who fanned 193 batters in 205.2 innings while maintaining a trim 3.02 ERA last year. Whatever the season holds, fans will be able to experience world-class athleticism and outfield-wall-scaling robberies in one of the nation's finest home-run habitats and fastball farms—Minute Maid Park. Built in 2000, the park boasts a natural grass outdoor field; a 242-foot-high retractable roof; a distinct, pole-obstructed center field; and a troll-guarded infield. Field-box seating treats you to some of the best seats in the house, as well as unobstructed views of relievers forming sweat-filled moats around the pitching mound and managers hand-signaling Chinese delivery-menu items to base runners.
Spring doesn't truly start until the first ball game of the season, just as summer doesn't truly start until things start exploding constantly in every movie that comes out. Today's Groupon lets you cheer on deft dexterity and impressive leaping without having to spend a week living in jungle canopy with Richard Simmons.
Note on Ticketmaster fees: You'll get the same percentage off the convenience charge; but you'll still need to pay the full Ticketmaster processing fee, the optional printing-at-home fee, and tax. Ain't no discounts on tax.

Alcoa Architectural Products
Alcoa Architectural Products is a business unit of Alcoa, with nearly 130,000 employees in 43 countries. The company produces and distributes products ranging from composite panels to household foils.
Alcoa offers its customers the security of a global group, combined with the personal care of a typical regional midsized company, on an international scale. AAP operates two manufacturing facilities, located in Eastman, Georgia, USA, and Merxheim, France.
Both facilities have supplied quality products and outstanding customer service to the building and construction industry for more than 30 years. In 1989, the Eastman facility inaugurated the Reynobond brand Aluminum Composite Material production line, and also produces Reynolux metal wall panels, flat sheet and coil. Our Merxheim facility has built an excellent reputation with the production of Reynolux coil-coated aluminum — and began operation of its own state-of-the-art Reynobond production line in 2000. In 2007, the Merxheim plant also began operation of a new, high-speed coil coating line capable of painting multiple paint systems in widths up to two meters wide (78 3/4 inches).

PC Repair
2. If a higher quality space presents itself, with lighting, tables, electrical service, etc, then all of this process can be accomplished very efficiently. Totally non-working parts can then be left to send to state recycling center with no additional transportation. Useful parts can be taken to Douglas Library, Canaan.
3. Publicity. TCP will need additional volunteers to keep up with the expected quantity. Emphasizing the public service nature of this project might help attract 2 or 3 volunteers to disassemble "beige boxes" and separate into boxes useable parts.
4. Leadership. Show the business community in particular that it does not pay to keep old computers hanging around until they are useless. Trade publications have shown that as computers increase in speed and capabilities, the average business usefullness of a typical computer is now around 3 years. Keeping computers past this age increases disposal costs dramatically;
Some corporations spend $100-$150 EACH to dispose of old computers (elsewhere in US) to meet local regulations. If donated before this period, non-profit groups and schools can easily find use for them. Donors can then DEDUCT reasonable market value and help community at the same time. We might consider awarding prizes to most thoughtful recycler in the community, both business and individual. Our own recycling process is enlightened and we should publicize it.
5. Long-range goal: make Northwest Corner a model for "Connected Community", know no boundaries, etc. By getting computers to people that need them, NW CT. can begin to boast the highest percentage of connected homes in CT or New England, or even the US. It would not take much, as we have fewer homes to outfit with computers and internet access than elsewhere in CT, and we are, after all, a well-to-do community with many computers to give away. Typical affluent citizens are very unlikely to be caught with a computer older than 3 years, and NEED a place to give their old computers. We might consider running a contest to see which town in our NW community can achieve the highest rate of internet connectivity as percent of total homes in that town!
Could we sponsor this with other institutions and publicize it?
6. The beauty of donation. Donated computer parts make it possible to economically resuscitate donated 3 and 4 year old and older computers. TCP has RAM memory chips, hard drives, etc that computers need to work their best. The inverse nature of computer economics makes current owners pay MORE for replacement parts for old computers than adding NEW parts for new computers. Production efficiencies and volume make new computer parts very affordable but discontinued parts GO UP IN PRICE, even as they go DOWN IN VALUE in terms of what they accomplish.
Acquiring old, 72-pin RAM memory is a case in point. It costs 3 or 4 times as much per megabyte than current 168-pin SDRAM memory, which has plummetted in price to record lows of $.40 per meg and less! Recent prices for 64 mg, 168-pin SDRAM RAM modules: $20!! 16 meg 72-pin EDO RAM: $75!. TCP can salvage parts like the latter from 5 year-old early Pentium 90 and 100 mhz computers for nothing! These parts help beef up other working computers to properly run newer operating systems and deliver internet pages reasonably fast. These can then be given away with the confidence that we will be helping the recipient, not crippling their ability to communicate with the rest of the world.
We can make this community spirit work. It does already at the Douglas Library where we get generous donations of 3 and 4 year old computers needing a little technical work and eager 10 - 16 year-old students and older adults eager to troubleshoot and repair them.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Paul DePaolo

Just as the guy with the flashy sports car doesn't always attract the ladies, female animals may not judge the male with the most elaborate ornamental display to be the best mate.
Male American pronghorns lack any ornamentation, so females instead rely on observations of the males' behavior to find the best mate, which may make their offspring more likely to survive, according to a new study.
Biologists have long thought that female animals looked for outward cues, like a peacock's vibrant feathers, as signals of genetic quality.
• Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Natural Science Center.
But the new study, published last month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests otherwise.
"Female mate choice is likely a very important evolutionary force that does much more than select for ornaments in a few species," said John Byers of the University of Idaho and lead author of the study. "It may be universally important in maintaining genetic quality."
Byers studied the genetics of a population of American pronghorns, an antelope-like mammal, in the National Bison Range in western Montana.
When it is time to mate, the females visit the harems of potential mates. They observe how well a particular prospect defends his harem to judge his worthiness.
Rogue males will try to infiltrate the harem and the male has to "just run back and forth, hour after hour" to defend the females, Byers said, or the entire harem will leave.
"The females' mate sampling creates a small group of males that each year sire more than one-half of all young," Byers said. "It's the vigorous guys that get all the matings."
The offspring of the more vigorous males were more likely to survive to weaning, Byers found.
He attributed this to faster growth rates of the offspring, which make the fawns less likely to be eaten by a coyote.

You step into the elevator, and who should be standing there but the CEO of your company. You have a great business idea, but you need capital. You've got 60 seconds (the time it takes the elevator to get to the top floor) to pitch your idea to the CEO and hopefully secure an investment.
Our E-pitch competition is a mandatory part of the freshman curriculum at Bryant University. Throughout the semester-long Global Foundations of Business course, freshmen form teams and work on a business plan for their hypothetical product or service. Our E-pitch competition is one of the projects they work on with their hypothetical companies. To help them prepare, we visit each class section to explain to concept, as well as offer coaching sessions for them to practice.
Two team members from every team in every section of the course pitch their idea in a preliminary round to professors and student judges. From this round 12 teams advance to the finals. Dinner is served, and then the keynote speaker for the evening delivers their address. We have brought in the likes of the Cardi Brothers, the CEO and founder of Not Your Average Joes, and various other entrepreneurs.
The final 12 teams then deliver their pitch again to the entire audience and our panel of judges. The judges are given 2 minutes to ask questions to get more information about the product. During the final round, teams don't know if they have advanced until their name is called, adding to the excitement. The winning team receives $750, with 2nd and 3rd place finalists receiving $500 and $250 respectively.

Professor of art with 45 years of teaching experience. Teaching online since 1995. Background in drawing, painting and photography. Work in computer graphics since 1989, web graphics since 1994. Presently teaching at Penn State University.
Giving Another Look to Scalable Vector Graphics
Variables and Sources
Pictorial Space
Difficult things work to with or around
Let me begin by giving a bit of my background which can help make clearer where I am coming from and the reasons why I am suggesting that more attention to how graphics can look using the very rich and subtle tools available in SVG.
My education was in art - painting, design, photography, art history and art criticism mostly - and that is what I have taught for the past 45 years. In 1994, I was asked to teach a course, Commentary on Art, at a distance and luckily, for me, that winter Netscape appeared and I was able to use it for the course which I taught in the spring of 1995 - it was first course ever taught anywhere completely on the Web. I have been teaching Web-based classes since, most recently to large enrollment classes of about 200 students. The subject matter the course has been the various aspects of Web graphics and design, art criticism and art history.
From the beginning I have been fascinated by the graphic possibilities of the Web and, like many others, frustrated by the limitations it presented for layout and the use of visual elements and welcomed, with interest, in the years that followed the developments in ways to expand those possibilities with tools like Cascading Style Sheets, the PNG format and Scalable Vector Graphics and the support of them by the different browsers. That has been and continues to be painful in many ways, as you all know, and especially for someone who is very much interested in what a site looks like, as well as what it says and does.
Many of the recommendations have placed an emphasis on the separation of content and presentation, which is on the whole a good thing, but it has seemed to have had the an unfortunate consequence of implying that how a site looks doesn't effect its meaning. As you can imagine that for anyone with my background, this is both regrettable and seems simply wrong.
Form shapes meaning and that what a site looks like is a part of what it has to say. This is why I want to talk about 'another look for SVG' and, more importantly, to show examples of interesting ways to use the visual vocabulary of SVG.
I want to do this because there is so much brilliant, sophisticated work being done using SVG, but almost all of it has been work by programmers whose interests are more in what happens behind the scenes and what things you can make graphics do than in what it looks like - simply put, clever programming and scripting gets more play than the choice of a color, the refinement of a shape or a gently animated transformation.
The separation of content and presentation in theory and practice has made the emphasis on power of accessing information and working with it dynamically pervasive. A glance at the program for this conference makes it clear that look of site based on SVG is a not primary concern for much of this community, understandably since it is mostly a community of computer programmers, not artists and graphic designers.
Looking at what can be done with vector graphics is further complicated by the aesthetic of the photograph, the tonal image, and of 3D modeling, both of which are often seen as the main goals of computer graphics. They have provided exciting and beautiful results - more in photography than 3D modeling, but both are also special cases and recent additions in the global history of image making - photography since the mid-19th century and vanishing point perspective since the early 15th century Europe. Their roles in the global history of visual culture are minor ones, in spite of the fact that they are presently so pervasive.
To make the point dramatically, the representation of shadows almost never occurs in art outside of the European tradition and occurred in Europe only after the 15th century, not because they couldn't be, but because they were seen as incidental and trivial. Most of the art of the world has always be based of stroke and fill, not light and shade - on concept rather than percept - so a specific light source and its consequences, shadows, was neither useful nor interesting.
This means that most art relies on a shallow pictorial space, the interaction of color, line and shape and representation of ideas. All things that Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to do and can do very well, whereas showing a light source and spatial illusion are things SVG struggles to do well.
SVG offers a rich and subtle set of tools to work with - especially with color, patterns, filters and opacity - and can be used to develop graphics to attract and engage the viewer visually and, by suggestion, tactility, even before the viewer is engaged intellectually.
What are the variables that can be work with effectively and where can the designer look for ideas and inspiration?
Pictorial space and the picture plane have been much discussed and argued about for the last 100+ years since Manet used in some of his paintings what one art historian called 'a playing card space' - that is the flat space, rendered without shadows, seen in the a deck of playing cards. This return to pre-Renaissance pictorial space was one of the consuming interests of the most of the early 20th century European artists - Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian, Brancusi and Klee among them. And they often found their inspiration in the art of non-European cultures - especially of Japan and North and sub-Saharan Africa - and in the folk and popular art of Europe.
This space is a shallow one and it is created with simple shapes, color relationships, texture and marks, overlapping forms and transparency. It occurs in all kinds of art and artifacts - it is especially easy to grasp by looking at textiles which weave and stain these element together. It relies on an integration of formal elements on the plane of the picture, textile or other material. Here in western Canada it is possible to see many very beautiful examples in the art of the Northwest Coast native peoples.
It also matters to consider the whole space, the whole screen. That is what the viewer sees and if the graphic is an isolated image it will lose its impact and ability to attract, inform and persuade. An effective image must a part of the total fabric of the site and needs to be integrated into it. Context is in this, as in most things, is of central importance.
For my purpose, one of the best examples of graphics are letters and other forms of writing, like those of the Chinese and Maya - they demonstrate so well how vector graphics can be used. They also show how richly varied basic shapes can be and how these variations effect how we receive the meaning, how form and presentation come together. They also can serve as a reminder that we are dealing with a long history of making marks that carry meaning - the recent reports of the missing tablets in Baghdad of among the earliest examples of writing have made that old news, new news.
The limitations of being able to present both the varied letterforms and other kinds of forms has been a big block to realizing the graphic potential of the Web. For letterforms and many other kinds of glyphs the support in SVG for Unicode and multi-direction writing have opened up possibilities that have long been closed. One small thing I have been able to do - have an o with a micron - ō - on the name of the Japanese poet, Bashō - lets me do something I have been trying to since 1989.
The best SVG graphics primarily flat, and usually great care and attention needs to be given to refinements of form, relationships between shapes, colors and their inner relations and how to weave them all into a whole. They are the patterning of surface like a fine carpet - and serve a similar purpose by enriching our visual environment.
Colors and the ways to vary them in hue, value and saturation, as well as mixing them optically using patterns and opacity, are among the great resources in SVG. To take advantage of all they can do using either RGB or hex colors is a good idea. Using color names makes it difficult to effect the kind of slight, often barely perceptible, changes that can mean so much in presentation, especially when working with compliments and split-compliments. The interaction of color can be lifetime study and is barely touched on here, but those interactions deserve more than casual acquaintance because they can have a pervasive effect on feelings and the experience of grasping information.
Patterns are, for me, one of the most important elements in SVG. Important because they allow for an efficient way to make a visually rich and subtle surface to present on which to present other information, a surface which makes the experience of using and looking at the site so much more satisfying by delighting and pleasing the eye. They need to be created by the designer - the canned ones are mostly like bad wallpaper, overly complex and gaudy - so they are delicate and unobtrusive. By using simple geometric repeats,they are especially useful in creating a shallow woven space and in the optical mixing of colors. I have used patterns in most of the examples I will present today.
Like patterns, opacity is an equally useful element is developing visually interesting and complex sites because they allow for the layering of color and shape which lets the viewer see and see through, to penetrate the surface and have a sense of space suffused with light. Like glazes in oil painting or ikat fabric dyeing or batik resist the depth and resonance transparency offers is wonderfully rewarding tool for adding visual richness to SVG graphics. It allows for a wide range of effects from close integration to full separation of shapes with other shapes and shapes with a background.
So much of the work being done now in SVG draws on three different sources: cartography, technical drawing and cartooning. All three tend to assume that representing three-dimensions are more desirable than presenting two, that moving image is better and more useful than a still one and that dynamic site is more engaging than a fixed one. These assumptions have lead, I believe, to the passing over some very rich possibilities for other looks to give SVG images and ones which cans enrich its visual resources based on some common and uncommon models and traditions of image making.
Where can we look for ideas and inspiration?
The list is long - most of the history of visual culture in written in vector graphics - images made using stroke and fill. Is is not limited to comics and cartoons and did not begin with The Yellow Kid and Gertie the Dinosaur, the first comic strip and the first animated cartoon. Nor to the drawings and plans that were recorded, rather than memorized, when paper came into common use, nor maps that flourished especially after the Age of Exploration.
Sources extend from cave art of 30,000 years ago to contemporary graffiti.
Look, for instance, at cutouts from Chinese and Javanese shadow-puppets to Timurid manuscripts with collage calligraphy to Pennsylvania Dutch scherenschnitte to Lotte Reiniger's cutout animation.
There are the textile spaces of quilting and ikat, embroidery and tapestry - or stencils for Japanese textile patterns to French pouchoir for illustrations to Jasper John's numbers and letters in paintings, drawings and prints.
Or the work of contemporary artists like Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Don Judd and the early paintings of Frank Stella and later paintings of Chuck Close.
Or the art of the Tlingt, Haida, Salish, Kwakiutl, Tsimshian and other of the Northwest Coast First Peoples (there is a fine collection of this work in Vancouver at The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia).
They can come from all kinds of art and from nearly every culture. Just looking around with an open eye and mind is all it takes.
The filters are the most difficult elements in SVG to work with for two reasons. First, they tend to be obtrusive, and overwhelm the rest of the design and second they lend themselves to trompe l'oeil effects, they try to fool the eye and imitate the tonal representation of a photograph. (It is out of place here to go into in detail, but most painters never tried to fool the eye, in fact, they went to great lengths to make sure it was clear that what they did was a painting, not the real thing.) The filters that cause the first problem are Turbulence, Displacement and Morphology and the second are lighting effects, especially Specular, DistantLight, PointLight and SpotLight.
The results I have gotten in almost every case when I have tried to use them have been failures, mostly simply ugly and visually repellent. I would really be interested if anyone in the SVG community has found ways to use these particular filters to that enrich their work, rather than dominate it, and attract viewers, rather than repel them.
The W3C test suite also creates problems when it is treated, as it often is, as a visual standard and resource rather than simply examples of how parts of the spec work. For instance, the use of a 'smilie' face as a model graphic doesn't even have the austere charm of ASCII art from which it comes.
Finally, I like to make clear that my remarks are not meant to be critical of the excellent work done by the members of the SVG Working Group. They have developed and are continuing to develop a spec that opens up so many exciting possibilities and promises so much. I can only commend them and suggest that their diligence and talent should be models for us to apply to our own work, especially those of use who are designers, rather than programmers, and to realize more and more of the possibilities Scalable Vector Graphic spec opens for us.
I will turn to these example now. They are all built without scripting, using the tools of the SVG and CSS and SMIL, to keep them simple and make the some of the powers in the presentation of visual images with Scalable Vector Graphics as clear as possible.
The examples (svgopen03maddox.zip) I am showing were made either by hand coding, using WebDraw, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw or a combination of them.

Michele Ciacciofera was born in Sardinia in 1969 and moved to Sicily as a boy, where he later graduated in Political Science.
He gained his artistic formation in his birth-place in the studio of Giovanni Antonio Sulas, a Sardinian painter and architect. In 1990 he moved to Syracuse where he lives and works.
For years he has dedicated himself to the study of the countryside, and especially to the relationship between man and nature. His works deal with existential themes and then shift to more political and social aspects, through a complex visual language of strong symbolic power.
In 2000, his contact with Morocco and the writings of Elias Canetti, his research on the dynamism of the masses, the suk with its light, figures and atmospheres, inspire a new chromaticism. This leads to a series of works called 'Marrakesh' exhibited from the end of 2002 in various exhibitions in Italy and France.
The reciprocal contamination between his personal expressive language and literature and history – conceived of as the interpretative prerequisite for contemporariness – provides the stimulus to study Goethe's journey in Sicily, and leads to the production of paintings and drawings exhibited in a long tour around Europe and North America.
At present, he is reflecting on themes that deal with the human condition; torture and imprisonment, melancholy; and in parallel, he considers environmental themes through great desolate beaches and deserts, where the absence of the human figure becomes an accusation of the inexorably hostile relationship between man and nature.
In 2010, he designs the stage-sets and costumes for Medea which was represented in several prestigious theaters in Italy. This experience inspires a series of paintings, drawings and installations called 'Argonauta' based on the myth of Medea, and stimulates a profound dialogue between present and future that permits history to be read in a different light, to be rewritten, re-interpreted and rendered continually contemporary.
Michele is a member of a work-group of architects and engineers that wins a competition organised by the Port Authorities of Palermo for an 'artistic-architectural project to reuse two loading cranes in the harbour of Palermo as a symbolic place for the future of harbour-city interaction'.

Is Lark Voorhies Bi-Polar?
In the early 90s, many an adolescent tuned into NBC's Saved by the Bell on Saturdays to watch the exploits of the Bayside High gang, including the popular and fashionable Lisa Turtle, who was played by actress Lark Voorhies. In reality, Lark was just as popular as her small screen alter ego. But in spite of a seemingly promising acting career, after the show went off the air, the 38-year-old maintained a relatively low profile, with the exception of a few made-for-TV movies and guest appearances. Recently, Lark has reemerged into the spotlight, but her odd behavior during a few interviews (blank stares and incoherent answers aplenty!) and dead wrong red carpet makeup choices is leaving many scratching their heads and wondering the same thing…what the hell is up with Lark Voorhies?
Trying to shed some light on the subject, Lark's mother recently revealed that her daughter's strange behavior can be attributed to bipolar disorder, a serious medical condition that causes shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. That would explain a lot, but Lark is brushing off her mother's claim that she has the illness. According to PEOPLE:
"In a series of interviews with PEOPLE, it was clear something wasn't right. Voorhies, 38, would frequently stop mid-sentence and stare off, often mumbling to herself or to others who weren't there.
'There are things that have traumatized her,' says Tricia, 64, who shares a home with her daughter in Pasadena, Calif. 'I care deeply about my daughter and I want her to resume her life.'
Voorhies says her 'over-loving' mother worries about her, but there's no need. She says she is not sick and keeps busy by working on low-budget indie productions, recording music and self-publishing her own books."
Lark blames her rambling and spaced-out appearance in recent interviews on her spirituality, telling PEOPLE, "I have a strong spiritual sense. You caught me in moments of pray [sic]."
Uh yeah, okay. Blame God.

Sallisaw, OK
We were up early and on the road by 730am. We only have 200 miles today to Sallisaw OK. We got all set up at the KOA and after a short break guess where we headed. Yep, to the Cherokee Casino. Once again these Oklahoma casinos give you free play so we used that at video poker. We both did ok, had a couple cocktails and then made a grocery run.
El Reno, OK
Our town, El Reno has a Disc Golf course so we headed up there and played 18 holes. Now we need lunch, so we stopped at Sid's Diner in town. Sid's is know for its onion burger, fries and shakes. It's been shown on the Travel and Food Channels. Now we headed to our casinos to use our free play. We headed back early since tomorrow is a travel day.
El Reno, OK
We headed out for a scenic drive and a visit to Red Rock Canyon State Park. While in the park we stopped at the Rough Horsetail trail which is about a ¼ mile nature trail. We are definitely out of the desert and into the Midwest with trees, small creeks and ponds with water. We drove through the park after our hike and stopped at Gloria's Kitchen for lunch. Now we were going to go home, but 2 casinos were on the way. These Oklahoma casinos all give you free play. We got home and stopped at both of the casino's were staying at so we could get our 20.00 pp daily free play and had a couple beers.

Anticipating the TRUE CHURCH CONF 2009 pt1
I am with great anticipation awaiting the TRUE CHURCH CONFERENCE, http://www.anchoredintruth.org/tcc
My friend Chad who is something of an assistant Pastor will be driving the ten hrs to get there and staying at the camp grounds @ $10/night (that's my kind of trip; cheap!!).
The conference consists of much fellowship, and q&a's, and of course flaming preaching!!!!!
The lineup this year has to be the best yet (i would say)
Let me briefly introduce each speaker:
The Host Pastor is JEFF NOBLIT pastor of Grace Life Church of the Shoals
http://www.anchoredintruth.org/ http://www.gracelifeshoals.org/
This southern boy can PREACH! What sets this brother apart is the DRASTIC change he has gone through as a pastor in the SBC. One who used very 'successfully' all the gimmicks, and pragmatism needed to become among the 'greats' in the SBC. Yet the Lord exposed the shallowness of all these things, and Jeff Noblit finally allowed his theology to lead his methodology. Administering Church Discipline in his church, not just empty membership roles but the painful use of C.D. within the church. A Clear view of Conversion over and against false professions. A very careful and God honoring approach to Church membership and Baptism. It is absolutely CLEAR that PREACHING is CENTRAL at Grace Life Church...
Paul Washer President of heartcry missionary society http://www.heartcrymissionary.com/
A former missionary to Peru, zealous for the Glory of God and zealous for souls. A reformed brother who doesn't quite fit in the mold of most circles. Of the three times I've heard him speak I've had the privilege of sitting and hearing him give counsel and answer questions, not to mention speak to him for several hours. With that said, I've yet to meet someone who can speak on such a tremendous amt of subjects with such a biblical worldview. Concerning the subject of the gospel a modern day Jonathan Edwards. Known to most for his "a very shocking sermon, so shocking the preacher was not asked back..."
(which is the most downloaded sermon on Sermonaudio.com of all time) this sermon was delivered at a SBC youth Conference of about 5000 youth. The speaker before Paul was the typical youth Pastor, he made jokes about his weight, and even jokes about sin then very quickly transitioned into a shallow altar call, which the great majority responded to (very casually). One minister asked Paul why he wasn't counseling people at this obvious 'move of God'. Paul said that he thought to himself 'what am i doing here?' In fact Paul Washer had intended to preach an entirely different message. Paul Washer humbly confessed that even while he was approaching the pulpit he was under much temptation, he was tempted to just give a 'pleasant' message, a 'missionary' message that would open many doors in the future, why lose this great opportunity? Yet praise the Lord, that Paul Washer was given boldness and loved so much that he was willing to be hated. After the message there was one Youth Pastor who was incredibly angry at Paul and told him that the majority of his youth group was weeping on the bus because they doubted they were saved. Above what we typically see, Paul has also had to witness the horrible effects of the "American gospel" globally and is defending the faith.
Voddie Baucham Author, Conf. speaker, and Pastor/church planter
Here is a link to the core values of the church he is Pastor of, which i really think is great!
http://www.gracefamilybaptist.net/GFBC_/Values.html Voddie is very intelligent, yet very down-to-earth (and funny), a man who models the things he fights for. A biblical father and husband applying the scriptures rather than culture to his lifestyle. Check out this link to his answers concerning preaching.
http://unashamedworkman.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/10-questions-for-expositors-voddie-bauckham/ Voddie was even on CNN during the elections speaking on Sarah Palin
Well I'll stop here and introduce the rest of the speakers later

Dance star Avicii has had to pay out $350,000 to repair damages caused by a termite infestation at his home.
The DJ, real name Tim Bergling, paid a fortune to replace walls, the roof, and decking at his Hollywood mansion because of the severe damage caused by the wood-eating bugs, according to TMZ.com.
Editors at the website also report he has decided to convert his garage into a living space with views of the city, but the construction has allegedly upset his neighbours, including Robin Thicke, because the work is making it difficult for local residents to drive through the street.
