This week Tête à Tête was delighted to be involved in the United Nations HeforShe Arts Week – a global week of activities run by UN Women exploring gender equality around the world.
Working with the Knowledge Quarter and led by our friends at Poet in the City, the evening at UCL's Bloomsbury Studio Theatre explored ideas of gender across science and the arts with speakers from The Alan Turing Institute, Francis Crick Institute and poet Belinda Zhawi.
When asked to contribute we knew Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival alumni CN Lester and Sarah Dacey were a perfect match. Closing the evening with a beautiful performance, accompanied by theorbo and harp, of music by the Italian 17th century singer and composer Barbara Strozzi, CN Lester's preceding talk on their experiences of studying music, and the institutional and individual blocks to involving women composers' work for study, resonated with the many scientists present.
This event took place on the same day as Tête à Tête Board member and artist Vera Chok published an article in The Guardian discussing stereotypes of race and gender around the now infamous live BBC News interview with Professor Robert Kelly where his two small children burst into the room while he was live on air and his Asian wife came in to usher them out. Her article "If you saw a nanny in this BBC interview what does that say about you" can be read HERE

She Keeps Tryin' to Train Us
But We Just Want
to Do Fun Stuff!
and Besides;
We Only Work for Food!
My Mom, God rest her soul, had a lot of sayings. She was from Scotland and I guess they have a saying for every situation that can come up in life. They also have a song for every situation, but that would go with a different story. One of her sayings was crystal clear to me today. "Every time I take one good step forward, I seem to slip three steps back!" I recently read a really funny blog about a dog trainer who is training 'Devil Dog', shortened to DD. He must live on a farm in the country. His blog was quite hilarious as I found myself laughing out loud with tears in my eyes as I was reading it. It was on Victoria Stilwell's 'Positively' blog. I can't find the post I'm referring to though. They don't have a good archive section. Anyway, this guy works every day training DD on the usual basics and especially on a recall. He was proud of how well this pup was doing. Then one day, -- it was raining of course, -- he was out with all his dogs checking on the farm animals and DD got out, chased all the cattle and sheep, tore something up that was really needed, all the while the guy was trying to chase DD down, calling 'COME' and cursing to no avail when he slipped in sheep doo and fell in the mud and hit his head and passed out. Of course, when he came to, DD was sitting (proudly) in the back seat of the pick up with all the other dogs and a lot of mud and doo doo while the guy, very much in pain and covered in goo and doo was hobbling into the truck to try and get home. The reason I was laughing so hard, (And I don't do the story justice. I wish I could find a link to it for you) was because this is exactly how I feel when training my yea-hoos. No matter how hard you train, or how good you are at training, sometimes dogs will just be dogs. And the lesson is, training lasts a lifetime. In my case, I hope it's the dogs' lifetime and not mine. I feel my life getting shorter every day and I really think I've met my match with these two. They may be the death of me.
So the sad Tail (get it? should be tale; he he) I have for you today is in two parts. Part I began yesterday afternoon.....
I had been running like crazy all day. My Jeep wasn't riding as smoothly as it should and I stopped by Sam's Offroad for them the check it out. It turns out I needed tie rod ends and drag links whatever those are. Anyway, this stop made me be in a rush to pick up Malcolm for his agility class. As I was rushing home, my Designer called and needed to pick up some things from me. " OK. But make it fast. I'll be home in 20 mins. You be there and I have to leave again in another 15 to be at school on time". I got home just in time to put the dogs on a leash so the guy could get through my door without being knocked down or licked to death. He came in and the dogs settled down quickly and we took care of some quick business. When I turned around to look at the dogs, they were both laying on the rug in the family room. No problem. Ten minutes later, the guy was gone and I went to put McKenzie in her kennel and take Malcolm to class. No. Of course that's not how it went. McKenzie didn't have her $45 soft braided leather leash on. Malcolm did. Where's McKenzie's leash? CRAAAAP! (Roll the r and that's Scottish for ....you got it!). The clasp is still attached to her collar. The leash is not here. Not under any furniture. Not in any room. Not here. What does that mean? OH. YES. You guessed it. SOMEONE ATE IT! So now, late to class, I throw them both in the back of the Jeep and call the Vet's office on the way. They have to call me back after they find out what the Doc wants me to do so I'm at class wondering which of my dogs is going to die tonight. Dr. Carley called back and gave the advise that until they show a symptom, assume nothing is wrong. "Do agility?????" Yup. But when someone starts to poop it out, DON'T PULL. Bring them in to the office at that point.
So, OK. We made it through the night without further a-doo. (pardon the pun)
Part II began today as I let them out this morning one at a time and went with them to watch them do their duty. No problems. No issues. No leather. They both scarfed down their breakfast....all is well in the Palace O' Hagg. Just in case, though, I took them both with me to Sam's Offroad where we all spent the morning hanging with the mechanics and Jeepsters while they put those parts on my Jeep. They were a bit over playful at first but finally settled down and took a good snooze on the floor matte in the shop. But still, no issues or problems have arisen. So home again, they played in the back for quite a while as I caught up on household duties. Then we were off to school for McKenzie's class. Yes. I took them both. I want to keep my eyes on them for signs of trouble. Really, Malcolm just can't keep eating things and having surgeries every month.
So, I didn't have a leash for Kenz but I found her old one in the boot of my Jeep and used that. I had forgotten that the clasp sometimes came undone if she shakes just the right way. Oh, yeah. That's why I bought the new expensive leash to begin with. ...... I was getting them both out of the Jeep and we had only 3 steps to go to the relative safety of the school. >!@*#/< We didn't make it. The Houdini Dog got off the leash and that was it. I remained calm in 5 o'clock traffic and waved at cars to slow down and pointed at loose dog while calling my calmest and best "HERE". Oh she came. But not close. I didn't have any food. So she ran bigger and bigger circles. Me calling.....her coming, but staying just far enough away. Damn. I need food. Now I'm frantically waving at passers-by so they won't hit my precious and beautiful little FREAK dog who can't focus on anything but play. I drop my purse, open the school door and call someone with free hands to hold Malcolm or put him in a kennel or lock him in a room somewhere, and I leave. I grab my purse again and jump in the Jeep as I see McKenzie fly out into traffic and whiz at high speed up toward the railroad tracks and the super highway and ultimate death. Thanks be to God! As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot and raced in her direction, I saw a young couple pulled over with my dog. Let me tell you. The angels were with us today and they protected her. I thanked them profusely with tears in my eyes and they explained that they also have a Boxer who does the same thing. Just think! God put those people right there at just that moment. They saved her life. And they did it because she's a Boxer. I was so overwhelmed that when I got back, safe and sound, the tears just rolled down. The really beautiful part was when one of the trainers asked....wait for it.....'Don't you have an emergency recall?' My answer? 'Apparently not'.
And just for the record....yes. I work recalls every day. And she was coming back. She just wouldn't do it completely, without food. We're not exactly there yet. Thanks to some very fine people, we have another day to work on it.

"I'm a member since August 2017. I got my keto meal plan very fast, by email. There were some meals that I didn't love and lovely Loana substituted them right away. As I am a busy person I don't have much time to cook but she kept me organised and motivated through the whole collaboration. I've gained lots of self-confidence, lost a lot of weight and learned so many things about health. Now, thanks to this plan I changed my eating habits forever. I make healthier choices now because I understood the importance of REAL food in my diet. "
"I became a member 2 months ago. All I can say it's that this keto meal plan changed my life forever. We were lied for so long that fats are bad for us, but believe it or not coconut oils made my pants fall off. This program is eye-opening, the coach and group members give you all the support and help you need to understand the basics. They were very responsive to my questions and let no place for doubt. I recommend joining this program
"I lost 26 lbs just by following the meal plan as laid out. I was never hungry and ate only delicious keto meals. I loved all the meals, especially the desserts."
My name is Loana and my greatest passion of all time is nutrition.
I've struggled for years with self-confidence and body issues. I tried all the possible diets and detox plans on the internet. I was sick of counting calories, getting frustrated and scared if I ate 200 calories extra or craved a creamy chocolate cake. I was totally obsessed with food. It was all I was thinking about all day long. As a personal coach, I love to help people to transform their body & mind.
But, after many years of research and self-learning, I've developed an easy & healthy plan to follow, that helped me feel in control over the food I eat, not to let it control me anymore.
Back in 2013, I discovered the Atkins diet that promised eating as much protein and fat as you can, limit carbs and you'll be slim and healthy in no time. In fact, my transition to eating low carb was harder.
KETO is finding balance in eating a high-fat, low-carb, moderate protein diet to enjoy the benefits of being in ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state, where your body uses fat for fuel instead of glucose.
It takes time and practice to find what works for you. That's why so many people fail at reaching ketosis .
I firmly believe that a KETO can cure different diseases and help you lose fat without expensive supplements. Only with the power of nutrient dense REAL foods.
Being in a state of ketosis lead me to mood stabilisation, eliminate anxiety, elevated my energy levels during the day. It also improved my digestive functions, sharpened my memory, helped me sleep well and wake up energised.
I am not felling guilty anymore about eating a high caloric meal. I learned that food is fuel, not a punishment. I'm not obsessively counting calories to lose weight
And there are high-quality studies that prove the benefits of a fat-based ketogenic approach in all these types of issues.
And there are high-quality studies that prove the benefits of a fat-based ketogenic approach in all these types of issues.
Studies show show that KETO helps you lose more weight along with all the health benefits than restrictive, low-fat diets.
Use stored fat as fuel
Lower inflammation and promote hormonal balance
Feel energised and focused everyday

No Hidden Fees. Instant Access.
"I lost 25 lbs following this plan, but I gained confidence and learned how to use food to nourish my body. KETO is my lifestyle now."
"3 months ago I was close to 100kg. I had to do something. I knew that KETO helps with fat loss and discovered Loana's program. I am thrilled that I lost 47lbs in only 3 months"
My life completely changed when I discovered Ketogenic(low carb high fat) way of eating. I've always been passionate about nutrition and what's best for my body and mind. I've tried hard for such a long time to stick to a low-fat diet, eating healthy carbs and watching my calorie intake. It took me years of trying fad diets, juice detoxes and water fasts. I failed and learned. When I finally found what works best for me I felt released, I felt FREE. Free from thinking all the time about food or what I'm going to eat next. FREE from being scared I'll gain weight instead of losing.
Now I want to teach people the same things that I learn on my own.
You are fully protected by our 100% Satisfaction-Guarantee.
If you stick 100% with my plan, I am confident that you will see the results you want - just like so many others before you.
You do not need to leave the group. The coaching and guidance are for the first 28 days and is limited to following the plans and keto adapting. Many people choose to stay in the group to follow along, restart the 4 weeks, post encouraging or funny updates, and provide support and guidance for others joining and starting to learn keto for themselves! It is a wonderful keto community.
My clients lose somewhere between 10-26 lbs with my program. Please keep in mind that results may vary from person to person
If you are not satisfied with the meals and feel like you need something more you can snack on fat bombs, pickles, sauerkraut and always add more fat to your meals. Example: add 1 tbsp of olive oil on top of the avocado.
I do not include any supplements other than bone broth/electrolytes. I take a multivitamin supplement and Omega3s.
Yes. I don't recommend switching the meals out and around but you can
repeat a full day as it is all calculated for the daily macros
My keto program provides numerous keto friendly desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth.
P.S.: Are You Ready To Become A Fat Burning Machine? You won't be alone as I will guide you to success by answering all your questions in our Private Coaching Group.

Insulin Delivery Devices: Insulin Pens Continue to Witness Highest Demand
Today different types of insulin delivery devices are flooding the markets including pens, syringes, oral insulin, pumps, and jet injectors. Technological advancements and intense research and development by market players have resulted in the development of insulin that can also be inhaled. In addition to this, newer approaches to insulin treatment are at different stages of development and availability. All these factors are expected to ensure a healthy growth of the overall global market for insulin delivery devices. A recent report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), a market intelligence company, states that the global insulin delivery devices market will rise from US$10.2 bn in 2016 to be worth US$20.9 bn by the end of 2025, expanding at an 8.6% CAGR between 2017 and 2025.
Given below is a blog post wherein expert market analysts from TMR answer three important questions regarding the global insulin delivery devices market.
Q. Which insulin delivery device will be most in demand?
The various types of insulin delivery devices include insulin pens, insulin pumps, insulin syringes, insulin patches, and needle free injection jet. Of these, the insulin pens witnessed highest demand in 2016 and accounted for 42% of the total demand. The insulin pens segment in fact is estimated to continue to remain the most profitable product segment through 2025. The demand for insulin pens is high from Asia Pacific as well as Europe. These two regions accounted for 90% of the total demand for insulin pens.
Obtain Report Details: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/insulin-delivery-devices-market.html
Q. Which region will emerge as a key market for insulin delivery devices market?
Among Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America, in 2016, North America accounted for maximum demand, accounting for over 37.5% of the total demand. The U.S. has the highest number of diabetes patients and also has a well established healthcare infrastructure, supporting the growth of the North American insulin delivery devices market. Mushrooming private diabetic care facilities and favorable reimbursement policies will continue to drive the growth of the market in the region. Europe will be the second most lucrative regional market for insulin delivery devices and Asia Pacific will emerge as one of the most attractive market in the years to come, thanks to high demand from China and growing awareness among the people in developing nations about the various treatment options.
Q. What are the recent developments by key players within the global insulin delivery devices market?
Medtronic recently got an approval from the FDA for their MiniMed 670G, which is a hybrid closed loop glucose monitoring and basal insulin delivery system. The device is used for the maintenance treatment of type 1 diabetics who are suffering from at least 14 years. This device adjusts the insulin levels automatically after measuring glucose levels every five minutes with minimal input from user, and functions like an artificial pancreas. It comprises a sensor that is attached to the body to measure glucose levels under the skin, a pump that has an infusion patch connected, and a catheter that delivers the insulin to the patient.
Such developments by leading players is ensuring the continued growth and development of the global insulin delivery devices market.

This is where we'll keep you up to date with what we've been up to. Keep an eye for our blog, which will be updated every fortnight.
Emily – 18.03.2013
Hi Everyone
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the website. So it's my first turn to write a blog and I thought I would tell you about my volunteering aims for the year!
I've been volunteering for a long time now, pretty much since my Dad could drag me along to events at my local athletics club. I love helping at big events my favourite being helping at half marathons – nothing beats the excitement and joy on people's face when they cross that finish line. I've always enjoyed most forms of volunteering in athletics but I want to try something a bit different this year…
Since volunteering at the Paralympics and being lucky enough to have tickets to some sports, I was seriously inspired by the athletes there. It made me realise that although I've followed people like David Weir for years I am so oblivious to most of disability athletics. So my aim is to change that J
In December I volunteered at a local Disability Sportshall event for primary school children. I can honestly say it was one of the best days of volunteering I've ever done. It was exactly the same feeling I get on that half marathon finish line, people so happy to have achieved something and just being given the opportunity to do so.
Next month I will be volunteering at a disability cross country championships, something I naively didn't even know existed! I can't wait to see how the championships works and hopefully then suggest a similar event in my hometown. Someone at my local club has just secured several racing wheelchairs so hopefully there will be an opportunity to do some disability athletics coaching in the future too. I cannot wait J
We'd love to hear your aims…what are you hoping to do/learn more about this year?
Poppy – 04.03.2013
The past two weeks have been pretty quiet on the athletics front, but at the same time have taught me to always wear shoes, even if they are overrated and socks are far more comfortable.
The week started off as normal, coaching the "Beagles" group down at my new local club. Yes, that's right, the start of the week for me is a Saturday, but why not, Saturdays are usually athletics days whether it's coaching, competing, officiating or just watching athletics, it means you start and end your week on a high. Anyway, coaching went pretty well, I'm new to Beagles as I only moved to Bedford in September. So the club and their way of coaching is all new to me and I take each coaching session as a learning experience to enhance my coaching. After taking a paarlauf exercise where the kids have to decide in teams the quickest way of completing a certain amount of laps which consequently develops their teamwork, communication, decision making, speed and agility, my week carried on as normal: going to Uni, training, catching up on the latest athletics news and competing in our last Uni cross country of the season. The end to the week however wasn't normal as it was a YAG meeting weekend (my favourite type of weekend...without sounding like a geek).
The start of the weekend I found myself in Birmingham at the Grand Prix handing out information about our new project - Youth Advisors, which then allowed us to watch the world-class athletics that was on show. After an amazing day me and the fellow YAGs went back to the hotel to chill. Whilst finishing dinner I noticed that on the table behind us was Mo Farah... not one to miss a photo opportunity I decided to go over to meet him. Whilst having a photo I realised that I was just chilling in my socks whilst everyone else seemed to be dressed up or at least wearing shoes…but hopefully the hero that is Mo Farah will agree that shoes are overrated!
Always wear shoes in public.

Maybe you remember me from my "Ask Dr. Roberta" columns that ran in women's magazines for many years. Feel free to browse the advice that I have given others.
Here are a few emails I've received over the years:
Dear Dr. Roberta,
I'm in love with a great guy and he loves me too. I have been seeing him for two months. There's something that's bothering me, though. I've never been to his house and I've never met his mother, who he lives with. He lives close to his job and he always has me drop him off at his office, saying he has work to do. We share everything with each other and the closer we get the more this has me wondering. What should I do?
Dating Dilemma
Dear Dating Dilemma,
You should stop being so trusting and start snooping! Is he married? Does he have a live-in girlfriend? A house full of children? Does he really live with his mother? Get your answers before you get more involved.
Dear Dr. Roberta:
I'm in love with a man who's fourteen years older than I am. He tells me that he's no good for me and I should find somebody else. I know that he's really a good man and he just doesn't know that he's worthy. He always puts himself down, and his mother puts him down and insults him, too. I want to build him up and I want to marry him. He insists that he's not a good person and I should stay away from him. What should I do?
In Love
Dear In Love:
You should listen to him. It's not your job to change his self-image. He's telling you the truth about how he feels about himself. It's very unfortunate, but it's not your responsibility. Save your interest in rescue work for a job or a pet, and look for a man who's interested in getting married.
Dear Dr. Roberta:
I'm very nervous about my husband and his new secretary. They talk on the phone during the weekend, and I'm afraid something is going on between them. What should I do?
Wife, New York
Dear Wife: Stop worrying about what is going on between the secretary and your husband and pay attention to what's going on between you and your husband. Strong marriages can tolerate flirtations and crushes. You need to work on strengthening your relationship with your husband by talking, loving, and demonstrating an interest in your husband's business, too
For more than thirty-five years I've been a psychotherapist and a counselor. I conduct sessions in my office, over the telephone and by email, too. Contact me and we'll talk about your family, your relationships, your fears, your habits, your work, and anything else that causes you anxiety. Together we'll figure out how you can have the life you deserve.Read more of my advice

Auto Dialer
Traditionally, to broadcast a message to large number of customers, one needed to dial a bulk of numbers repeatedly. Move on from the age of huge manpower needs to the smarter and automated dialing. Just record the message, feed in the contact numbers of the leads and all is done. Auto Dialer will now do all the needed work for you.
Call all the customers in one go at the exact time scheduled by you. So, if there is a fund raiser or a party, don't sweat over the individual invitations, just make use of the auto dialer. It can record the call recipient's response as well.

Keywords: Performance-Based Logistics, location-of-repair analysis
Abstract:The problem of determining the optimum repair strategy is sometimes called location-of-repair analysis, or LORA, while OPRAL is an analytical model for determining the optimal repair locations and spares allocations in a multi-level hierarchical support organization based on the spares optimization model OPUS10. The OPRAL optimization technique is based around the powerful concept of calculating the maximum function over all convex functions created from several different repair strategies in order to find the optimal one. The process of simultaneously optimizing LORA analysis, spare parts optimization and resource utilization is significant, hence why it is necessary to integrate the optimization techniques. These techniques can be instrumental in setting up and managing risk in Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contracts where a Product Support Manager (PSM) is responsible for a high level metric such as system availability, mission hours accomplished, etc., where optimizing all aspects of a system

Summary of ResearchI'm interested in how we hear. From an auditory waveform we recognize what someone said, who said it, and how they felt when they said it. We infer what caused certain sounds and where unseen events occurred in the world. How does the brain achieve these computational feats in a fraction of a second? What representations and algorithms does our auditory system use? To answer these questions I use a mixture of computational models, neural measurements (primarily fMRI), and behavioral experiments.

APPENDIX B: Approved motions
The minutes for March 21st and June 20th, 2006 were approved.
APPENDIX C: President's report
This is the Membership Committee report: Membership Committee In May 2005 Graham Wilson, Luk Claes and Michael Schultheiss became the new Membership Committee. They are all still willing to continue this for the next year. 2.1.1 Statistics Here are some statistics from the membership committee: 2005 2006 NC Applicants Pending Email Approval 31 50 NC Members 282 318 Contrib Membership Applications 8 10 Contrib Members 313 335 Application Managers 6 3 3. The Future As can be seen in the statistics, the NC Applicants Pending Email Approval is raising. The reason is that there is no webinterface for removing these applications, so it might be a good idea to implement this next year :-) The amount of NC Members and Contrib Members is of course increasing as normally the rule is: once a member always a member. Most of the open Contrib Membership Applications are because of applicants mentioning too few (or no) information in the online application form. These applicants are pinged and their application will be processed further in the near future. Also among the planned improvements for the web interface is support for a scriptable interface, and a corresponding tool that allows application managers to process applicants without requiring them to manipulate them through the web interface. This will hopefully make the task of managing applicants easier.
APPENDIX D: Treasurer's update
I'm submitting these updates right before the meeting, but primarily to get them down for the meeting, not necessarily to provide advance notice. Treasurer's report update: In addition to the carpal tunnel I've had, I've also been experiencing hardware problems on the machine with my gpg-encrypted online bank access password as well as my SPI email archive. Needless to say, this has made me unable to properly submit information for the annual report or to do treasurer's reports recently. As I have said before, I still intend to catch up as much as possible on my treasurer's reports in advance of the turnover in Treasurer's duties on the 29th, and if not, I will provide the new Treasurer what assistance necessary to finish them. Outstanding minutes: I gave David a slight correction to the item in the June 20 minutes about Treasurer's reports, to better reflect what I actually said. Debian trademark in Spain: I explained this situation to SPI lawyer Greg Pomerantz in person last Wednesday, and he had been unaware of it previously. He said then that he would take a look at it. I also mentioned that it's been on hold for a while now and that dealing with it quickly would be appreciated. Tax filing/bookkeeping: Greg advised that we probably shouldn't try to register with New York until we have financial information ready for the last several years, because they'll probably want it once we're on their radar. Therefore, I am holding off on registering with NY State. As for actually getting the financial information ready for our 2005 federal filing, I have to defer to Branden on that, since he's the one who's been dealing with Mark's Bookkeeping. I will be filing a request for a second extension on this filing (which shouldn't be too hard), since we're right now in the process of conducting elections and we probably will need until after the changeover to complete the filing.

|[Couchdb Wiki] Update of "Git_At_Apache_Guide" by JanLehnardt
|Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:26:57 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification. The "Git_At_Apache_Guide" page has been changed by JanLehnardt: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Git_At_Apache_Guide?action=diff&rev1=6&rev2=7 For understanding the technical aspects of GIT and SVN please read [[SVNvsGIT]]. This will help you to grok the design decissions == Project Structure == - 1. Each project should get one PMC-private GIT repository which conains confidential legal stuff like trademark contracts, creds for community accounts like twitter, etc + 1. Each project should have a way to share PMC-private code. This can be a separate repo or just branches secured by naming convention (e.g. branches/private/...). It is for confidential legal stuff like trademark contracts, creds for community accounts like twitter, etc 1. Each project has at least one GIT repository which contains the main project and is read/writable for all committers 1. Some projects might need additional GIT repositories containing project parts which have a completely separated lifecycle from the main project. This can be various build-tools (checkstyle-rules, project specific maven-plugins which are needed to build the project) or the project site. This is needed because a GIT branch and tag always affects the whole repository

My name is Ameena…and I can't stop burning my forehead with the curling iron.
Ali thinks this is hysterically funny. And I can't blame him…I mean, what kind of idiot can't keep a hot tool from touching her skin? If the shoe was on the other foot I'm sure that I'd be pointing fingers and laughing my a$$ off too.
What exactly is my problem? Well I have no coordination for starters. Plus I'm always in a rush when I'm battling my hair.
And in addition to being clumsy and in a rush, I'm usually testing Maya on her spelling words, telling Ali his clothes don't match, and/or trying to read a book at the same time.
Anyway, last week after The Incident, I dusted off my Laura Mercier and cleverly covered up the damage. Except I wasn't as deft as I thought with the concealer because a minute after I got to work someone asked me, "Did you burn yourself with a curling iron?"
So apparently I'm not just hopeless with the curling iron but with makeup too?
March 13, 2012 12:08 am
OUCH!!!!! sorry!!!! This is just a reminder to me of why I do NOT use a curling iron 🙂
March 13, 2012 1:02 am
In the kitchen, we refer to you as a burner. I've only ever done that once, learnt my lesson and it seems to have not happened again since. 🙂 Hope you are alright, it looks like a nasty one.
March 13, 2012 1:32 am
oh that happens to me everytime, only i burn my ears 😦 there ought to be a special user-guide or safety shield or something for people like us
March 13, 2012 2:12 am
Oh, my gosh, Ameena, that looks painful! I have done that but I haven't used a curling irorn in a long time. It's probably for the best! Hope it heals quickly. Be Careful!!
March 13, 2012 4:10 am
I know the feeling. i stopped using mine because I always burnt my ears! Not a problem if you have long hair – apart from pain. But fashion and beauty is all about the pain, isn't it? But with short hair those burn blisters were very unattractive. GG
March 13, 2012 4:52 am
OUCH!!! So sorry about that Ameena. Even I am very clumsy. Even though I do not use the curling Iron, I burn my hands every now and then in the kitchen.
March 13, 2012 5:36 am
Ouch, sorry about that. That's why I gave up on curling iron long time ago. I just never get the hang of it plus I also don't have enough time to do it, especially in the morning with my kids & husband trying to grab my attention. Sigh…
Hope it feels better soon.
March 13, 2012 6:10 am
aww you poor thing! I doubt you watch america's next top model but one of the models got scorched with the curling iron by a stylist. I'm talking a huge welt on her cheek. I promise you, your burn looks nothing like it comparison.
(But i am chuckling to myself, only because you have such a great ability to do the same, and to make any story funny!)
March 13, 2012 7:10 am
I'm sorry but I'm laughing here. Like, I thought that only happened to girls in Jr. High – as we all were experimenting with a burning hot tool millimeters from our skin.
I shouldn't laugh – but couldn't help it 😛
March 13, 2012 7:11 am
I've had a scar on my forehead for years because I always burn myself with my curling iron. It seems like every time it heals enough that its barely noticeable, I just do it again.
March 13, 2012 7:42 am
I hate curling iron burns. I've done that on my neck a few times and they are not fun.
March 13, 2012 7:45 am
awww.. i'm so scared of using a curling iron and flatiron, i just blowdry my hair straight, it takes longer. i've burnt myself a couple times using a curling iron – but man they make nice soft curls.. but maybe just for special occasions. you don't wanna take your hair wavy? i bet it would look so pretty. I use Ouidad products, it's designed for curly hair.. so it helps me tame my hair.
March 13, 2012 7:59 am
I've burned the top of my ear and my neck before. It's impossible to cover it up! My teachers thought it was a hickey and teased me endlessly about it.
March 13, 2012 8:06 am
This is why Ali needs to drop what he's doing, call up American Express Concierge pronto, and order you a first-rate hair stylist that comes over every morning and does your hair for you, while a massage therapist (also ordered from American Express Concierge) rubs your feet and shoulders to prepare you for your day. Oh, and make sure Ali requests a hair stylist who can spell…that way Maya has her morning needs met as well.
Just an idea…
March 13, 2012 8:42 am
I have done this before, but it was on my neck. If you are in a rush, may I suggest that you use some sort of snap headband prior to using the iron. That way you will not burn your skin nor will you mess up your hair since the headband snaps off. Front and center burns are hard to hide. Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a great day!
March 13, 2012 8:46 am
don't do that!!!
don't feel bad, I've done way worse things to myself like put a gash on my forhead from a shelf in the pantry because I was rifling thru the halloween candy….
March 13, 2012 9:06 am
So that's the secret to your lustrous locks! The curling iron!
March 13, 2012 9:09 am
Funny you should post this! I have a small curling iron burn on the side of my head right now from yesterday. Hey, it happens. Mine is a little bit more obscure though! Those burns hurt too don't they? Now you have to go through the scabbing up and then your skin is lighter for a while and then you will be back to your perty self.
March 13, 2012 9:13 am
I'm completely with Andrea. That is not a bad idea.
I love your hair! It's so thick and beautiful and the color so rich. I rarely use a curling iron, maybe just for church so this isn't usually my down fall area, but I'll tell you what is….kitchen knives. And, I have really nice kitchen knives, that are sharp. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to pull out the super glue and attempt my own medical work on my fingers. And then one time it happened that the glue just wouldn't hold because the gash was too deep, so I had to go the dumb ER and get two stitches in my middle finger…go figure. Haha.
See, that makes the curling iron situation not so bad.
Always looking forward to your posts!
Have a great day Ameena.
March 13, 2012 9:57 am
I hope you are okay Ameena. That must hurt. It usually happens to me when I am ironing my clothes.
I had my worst burn back in India when I decided to wax my legs at home. So I put the wax in a glass bowl in the microwave and heated it. When I went to remove the bowl the bottom of the bowl gave way and the hot wax fell on my foot. It was the most painful experience ever. Lesson here for me was go to the salon.
Ashwini permalinkMarch 13, 2012 10:40 am
Wait…you can straighten hair with a curling iron? I didnt know that.
And talking of burns, you know my room mate from grad school sat on a hot iron. Yes, her backside was burnt and yes she couldn't sit down or sleep on her back for a very long time…i'm sure it was very painful for her but to me it was hilarious (i also didnt like her too much, that's why!).
March 13, 2012 11:49 am
Ouch. I remember the days of curling irons. I'm glad they're over. Now I just burn other body parts on the oven or with hot pans. At least it's up near your hairline. If I'd not known to look for it, I'd have never seen it (especially since I'm just 5'3″ and probably couldn't see near the top of your head anyhow. 🙂
March 13, 2012 1:35 pm
yeowch! i had a similar affliction when i was younger and thought it cool to dive in a 5 foot deep pool. i scraped the floor of the pool with my face and cut myself 'bangs' to cover the abraised forehead of mine. not sure what looked worse, the scabs or my new coif!
March 13, 2012 2:28 pm
Ouch. I can top it, well my sister can. When she was a teen she was sitting curling her hair and she dropped the iron and caught it between her legs. Yup, she burned her legs, it was just a reflex to catch it.
March 13, 2012 4:47 pm
Your curling iron burn is my clothing iron burn. I have this thing about ironing in the nude. It makes perfect sense… I am ironing the clothes I am about to put on. Straight from the shower there is no sense in putting on clothes just to iron. Except my all this exposed skin = more surface area to burn. It happens. Maybe I should start putting on clothes.
March 13, 2012 5:06 pm
Oops. I was about to suggest to tape some paper or something over your ears, forehead, neck; wherever there's a possibility of a burn. But I think someone commented above to use a headband, which sounds perfect to cover at least the areas closest to hair. Don't know how this other person (another comment above) burnt thigh, ouch.
As for the oven, may be you need longer gloves? Not sure if they have those until the elbows though, hehe.
Hope you're doing good.
March 13, 2012 5:27 pm
This is precisely why I STOPPED using a freaking curling iron !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx
March 13, 2012 9:26 pm
I have definitely burned myself with a curling iron, but always on the side or back of my head. Be careful!
March 14, 2012 3:03 am
Wait, do you curl your hair/is it curly? Or do you burn and then stop. I'm being serious. My tweezer is how I prefer to self mutilate.
March 14, 2012 12:50 pm
I always know I'll get a good laugh when I come here. It is honestly so nice to know that someone as distinguished and classy as yourself has foibles too.
Otherwise how would we all go on?
March 14, 2012 2:40 pm
Oh dear! I suck at keeping myself away from hot oil. even though I cook every single day, I still haven't learnt how to be cautious around hot oil!
March 14, 2012 4:12 pm
I've burnt the tops of my ears.
They hurt.
I feel for you.
Piya permalinkMarch 14, 2012 6:32 pm
my name is piya and i can't stop burning the top of my ear with a hair straightener. sooo painful 😦
March 14, 2012 10:43 pm
If it makes you feel better I've burnt the tip on my nose with my curling iron in the past … luckily it went away after a couple of days!
March 15, 2012 5:40 am
ouch!! I am completely inept with the curling iron. I've basically given up so you're a step ahead of me!
March 15, 2012 12:08 pm
Ah I've had my fair share of straightener burns. Yet another reason to embrace my naturally curly (and slightly wild) locks!
March 15, 2012 3:17 pm
I have tried using this hot (magic) wand sometimes.. not magic for me.. and have quit using it completely only becoz i have burned myself every single time.. it is not just you.. and I do not even have make up to cover up.. i barely use make up. Hope it hides away quick for you..
March 15, 2012 5:54 pm
Yikes! I've only burned myself once on a curling iron and that was when my mom left one on her bed and I rolled over onto it and burned my leg. It hurt like the Dickens. But nothing since. Primarily because I virtually never use one!
March 15, 2012 8:50 pm
I have burned my forehead twice with a curling iron — it hurts REALLY bad! You gotta stop doing that — hah! Good luck!!!
March 16, 2012 9:17 am
if it makes you feel any better i always burn myself (and unfortunately not just with the curling iron) right now, i have a burn mark on my upper arm (yes, arm) from the curling iron. how it happened? i have no idea, but it literally only touched my skin for a split second!
March 21, 2012 11:18 am
I think you are too harsh on yourself-as in you do a fab job with the make up and handling the house and Maya, and also read a book alongside..woman, you need to be applauded!
I loved the beginning line!;-)
Kayla Wright permalinkJune 21, 2012 12:41 pm
I have the same kind of burn on my forehead l, what did you put on it and how long did it take to heal?

I was dreading yesterday for an entire month. The date loomed on my calendar like an albatross. I tried not to think about it, but it was always there. The sentencing hearing for the trial I lost in February was set for Thursday March 18, 2010.
If you read the prior posts regarding this case, we already knew the judge was going to sentence my client to the minimum of 6 years. Before yesterday I had to prepare a motion for new trial. It was my first such motion.
Apparently it's standard practice to draft this motion when you lose. They are rarely granted but any issues raised in the motion are preserved for appeal. Failure to mention an issue in this motion waives the right to appeal it, in most cases.
I didn't sleep well on Wednesday night. There is still a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach over this case. In my opinion, the wrong person is going to prison. But as I have written, it's by his choice.
I saw my client's mother first. She told me he was doing pretty well. That was nice to hear. He was a complete wreck the last time I saw him in the holding cell after his guilty verdict. He had been on bond for almost a year. Suddenly being taken back into custody has to be upsetting.
I went back to see him. He smiled when he saw me. Through the bars we shook hands. It felt odd. Things were different between us. Or at least I felt so. I feel in ways like I failed him. Seeing that he was doing much better about his situation than I was made me question why.
He's going to prison. For several years. I still go home everyday. Why is he smiling?
If I didn't give a hoot, maybe I would smile too. But I question why I do give a hoot. Am I so super compassionate that it breaks my heart that he's going to prison? Compassionate, yes, to a point. But not so much to account for how I feel. Not entirely.
Was my ego shattered because I lost the trial? Has my ego taken such a puncture and caused more internal damage compared to someone going down for some years? Have I made myself out to be the big loser in this case? I hope not. Am I in a worse place than he is? Probably not.
Of course I feel like I could have done a better job. Perhaps I could have argued the case differently, or used more effective analogies in attempting to reach the jurors. I admit my professional pride feathers got ruffled a bit.
Does any baseball player not feel bad after a strike-out? Or a pitcher that has a bad day and gives up 5 runs in the first inning? The difference is the result of professional failure in baseball doesn't cost someone their liberty.
I may need to switch professions. The Cubs always seem to be looking and I live within walking distance from Wrigley Field.
I did raise a genuine evidentiary issue in my motion. The judge denied it. We moved into sentencing. As promised, the sentence was 6 years. He will do less than 3 years real time if he behaves himself, which he will.
The judge said good luck. He turned, smiled, and waved at his mother and wife. We walked out of the courtroom together followed by the sheriff.
He turned and gave me one of those man-hugs that feel awkward. "We fought our asses off. Thank you" he said to me with a huge smile and a firm, parting handshake.
I told him to write me if he feels like it. He said he would. I rode the elevator down with his family. They thanked me and asked some questions that I tried to answer. On the ground floor I had to stop to take a phone call and they went ahead without me, but turned to wave good-bye.
As I stepped outside, I was blinded by sun and the gentle warmth of coming spring.
And then I smiled. Slightly.

Ryan and Amy Green's son Joel had brain cancer, and it ended up being a four year long fight, that he ultimately lost. They decided to create an adventure game, called That Dragon, Cancer, sharing their experience raising their son, during this difficult time. It's best explained in their own words.
That Dragon, Cancer is an adventure game that acts as a living painting; a poem; an interactive retelling of Ryan and Amy Green's experience raising their son Joel, a 4-year-old currently fighting his third year of terminal cancer. Players relive memories, share heartache, and discover the overwhelming hope that can be found in the face of death.
This is not like most games, obviously. That Dragon, Cancer has already gotten a lot of press and recognition. Crowdfunding the development, for Ouya and simultaneous Steam release (Windows, Mac, and Linux), is only part of what they're doing with the game. The developers are inviting other people to share parts of their stories to the game too.
The perks for this campaign offer you a chance to leave a message or honor a loved one that's passed away. If the game and concept resonates with you, then it's a pretty powerful thing to do.
Favorite perk ($40)
DIGITAL DOWNLOAD + MEMORIAL ADD-ON: A copy of the game, plus we will add an image of a ink/paint based hand print, or foot print, of you or a loved one into the recovery room in the game. Optionally you may choose a 50 character message to be included in a tile on the floor of the hallway of the in-game hospital. You may also choose to add this add-on to any backer reward in this campaign, see the Backer Reward Section for details.

Twilight gets frwaky with a lobster.
Starring Gorlock 12 as The Pizza Guy!
If you don't know who Gorlock 12 is, he's from this story.
A young man named Skull has had a questionable past, including raping a pre-teen girl. After some time isolation, he's left that past behind to try and redeem himself.
But when he decides to babysit for a friend, the attitude and appearance of the one he trusted to watch might be more than he cn handle.
Firstly, will say that yes, this is foalcon, I was just in a bit of a period when I wanted to take a gander at that stuff, just trying it out. Like with most I write hehe. So anyhow, yeah. The CMC find a book in Twilight's library, well, "find" might be a generous word as they weren't allowed to be in that section of the library. And then, sex ensues more or less.
Second chaper is a lot more violent than the first and more serious. Much less "for the lulz", almost an entierly different story to a degree... so yeah, chapter 2 got violence and shizz.
This first started as a joke with the PH comment crew, but eh. I went ahead and wrote it for... some reason.
So yeah, if you know of Project Horizons, know of Xanthe and the stealth suit.... yeah, it pretty much is that, I went there.
A quite quick job, but overall works. Turns out to be hard to give character to a barely explored character. Least when it comes to things like this. (and especially for a animated suit...)
Ah well, if you find it appealing to read about females receiving sexual stimulation from a tight body suit, then go right ahead.
Thumbnail borrowed from: http://wavemasterryx.tumblr.com/ did ask for permission... like some months back. Think they wanted a link to their tumblr.
[Humanized] Shining Armor and his partner, Skyler, have failed an assignment for the last time. As punishment, the two young guards are sent to Canterlot University as students to monitor everything while undercover. What they discover about their fellow students is a lot bigger than they anticipate, but is it a lot more than they can handle?
Zecora knows how to heal. Healing running noses and aching joints is one thing. Healing grief, shame and solitude though? That requires a special ingredient:
But if longing heart you cure,
there is just one method sure.
Give your heart, then both you mend,
And suffering comes to end.
In practice, applying this method for the ageless princess of the night bears certain... difficulties. Still, the rewards are well worth the extra effort, and zebra patience is said to be legendary.
Lots of rhyming, lots of Ye Olde, love, humor, sex, and don't worry too much about the Violence tag, it's not too heavy.
In Manehatten, a young, mediorce author works dillegently on a novel that may or may not ever be done while his roommate lives the life of a social butterfly. Metro Quill isn't happy, but he isn't sad either. It can't be that bad, what are the odds he has it worst off in Equestria? However, when Flux, his roommate brings a young foal home, things go wrong. He begins experiencing strange phenomenon... and that appears to be just the beginning.

More and more people are looking into supplements to get nutrients so its not a surprise that the vitamin or health supplements industry is a rapidly growing part of the business world.
Best Health Supplements
Vitamin C
There are many kinds of vitamin C nowadays, things like buffered vitamin C is getting a lot of attention, as well as Liposomal Vitamin C – equally popular and intriguing. There is also a debate whether ascorbic is better than ascorbate form.
What are the benefits of Vitamin C?
Vitamin C has long been associated as a strong defense for colds and flu but has recently been debunked as to the truth behind it.
Vitamin C definitely is good for improvement of collagen in the skin. This then improves the elasticity of the skin especially among ageing women who are very conscious about their skin as they age.
Vitamin C is also claimed to be very good for tissue repair in the body, and may benefit the tendons and the cartilage of our body.
It is also claimed to play a role in cancer prevention. But this bold claim still remains to be proven extensively.
Vitamin D
According to an article from the Telegraph UK, lack of vitamin D has been associated with a reduction in bone mineralisation, as well as other health issues like constipation, being prone to infections and muscle weakness and issues about bone pain.
In my online hobby of reading health articles, I have came across a lot of times about the huge benefits of supplementing vitamin D3 as opposed to just taking any other form of common vitamin D.
But there are risks or side effects of vitamin D. It is greatly emphasized nowadays that one should take the form vitamin D3, as it is the one that is beneficial. It is also added that one must not take vitamin D3 without supplementing it with vitamin K2, in fact a very staunch champion of this is Dr. Mercola, from the mercola.com website, pointed out that failure to take vitamin K2 when taking vitamin D can lead to calcification that can lead to the hardening of the arteries, among other things associated with vitamin D toxicities, according to the article by Dr. Mercola site (http://www.mercola.com/article/vitamin-d-resources.htm).
What are the benefits of Vitamin D?
Vitamin D helps lower blood pressure levels, according to Huffington post.com.
It can also increase the calcium nutrient in the body which helps the health of our bones and teeth (source Huffington post)
It is also said to decrease the risk of colorectal cancer and also with risk of dying from breast cancer, as per an article in the edition CNN website.
As of recent, this mineral has been very, very popular, especially in health forums like the Earthclinic.com or Curezone.com.
According to an article by the MensJournal.com, Magnesium is the most important mineral in the body – it is involved in almost all the enzymatic functions in the body. It also stated that Magnesium deficiency gets triggered by stress which affects the adrenal glands which sends a spike in andrenaline supply, which then triggers the cells to consume a big amount of your magnesium supply.
What are the benefits of Magnesium?
It can help prevent type 2 Diabetes
Magnesium can also prevent problems with cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and migraine headaches
Can help with a relaxing sleep at night

Fish Oil
I personally take this supplement which is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
What are the benefits of Fish Oil?
It is claimed that taking this supplement gives you good supply of Omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids are said to reduce the effects of inflammation, make the skin look younger, prevent blood clotting and promotes a stable heart rhythms.
It is also touted to promote sound mind to better cope with depression, improves brain function, and may even play a role in preventing Alzheimers disease.
Pink Himalayan Salt
Pink Himalayan Salt comes from the Punjab region of Pakistan. This salt usually comes in colours of reddish tone or pink, sometimes transparent too, according to Wikipedia.
What are the benefits of Pink Himalayan Salt?
According to healthyandnaturalworld.com, these are the benefits:
Pink Himalayan Salt regulates the body's pH level
Helps in blood sugar regulation
It prevents muscle cramps
It can help the kidneys and gall bladder
Some more benefits according to an article by a website called Skinnywithfiber.org (although I find the claims lacking in evidence in this article by this site0:
Effective for detoxing our bodies
Can help with a good night's sleep
May help with sinus problems and respiratory issues

Recently economists have been disagreeing even more than usual about what`s going to happen to interest rates. That`s frustrating for investors, who should care passionately about rates, because the cost of money immensely influences the profits that can be expected from various kinds of investments.
But by looking closely at real rates -- those adjusted for inflation -- a clearer picture emerges: The time remains right to put money in financial assets, especially bonds.
A further drop in nominal rates may seem unrealistic considering how far they have already tumbled. In 1981, money-market funds were offering as much as 18 percent. Today they yield 5.6 percent.
As interest rates have come down with inflation, stocks and bonds have appreciated. The reason: The dividends and interest payments offered by existing securities have become comparatively more attractive. During the past five years, as yields on long-term Treasury securities fell from 15.1 percent to 8 percent, bond prices rose about 75 percent. The lower cost of money also fueled a spectacular bull market in stocks, more than doubling the Dow Jones industrial average in four years.
Now, though, many investors are worried that the free-fall in rates is over. And while interest-rate anxiety has made bond investors jumpy, the New York Stock Exchange has been gripped by real craziness. In October, the Dow plunged more than 120 points in two days on record daily trading volume of more than 235 million shares. Since then, the Dow average has had two of its largest gains ever in a single day -- rising 43.41 points on Nov. 3, ranking first, and 43.03 points on Dec. 2, ranking third.
There is little consensus among economists about where interest rates are headed. Because rates are largely determined by inflation, they tend to vary widely. Since World War II, long-term nominal rates have ranged from 2.1 percent to 15.1 percent. Real rates -- calculated by subtracting the inflation rate from the actual or nominal rates -- tend to stay within a narrower band. During times when the inflation rate is stable, such as the 1960s, they are generally 2 percent to 3.5 percent.

Protracted Withdrawal
Protracted Withdrawal
Protracted withdrawal is something that should truly be handled with medical care.
If one is reading this article, likely it is already known all too well what protracted withdrawal means. One may have experienced the tremendous difficulties of attempting to taper off a drug that just won't easily allow one to do sowithout debilitating protracted withdrawal symptoms. One may experience many symptoms such as muscle aches, cramping, brain zaps, chills, fever, pain, nausea, uncontrolled crying spells, sleepless nights and many other discomforts in protracted withdrawal.
When withdrawing from a drug like a benzodiazepine, or any highly addictive substance, such as effexor or any of the antidepressants, the calming and pleasant feelings that it initially provided are now reversed, so the euphoria is now depression. The pain relief is now pain. The calm feeling is now a panic attack, or the dread of one about to occur. It can be life threatening in fact, to try and withdraw too quickly from a certain number of drugs. It is never a good idea to cease any benzo or prescribed drug abruptly, as this can overwhelm the various systems in the body and is risky.
It is recommended to always seek medical monitoring when deciding to taper off any meds. It is just too unsafe to try it without medical oversight. Be safe and seek medical help with this. Even under a general practitioner's care, the symptoms associated with protracted withdrawals can be intolerable. However, one must not despair, because there is a better protracted withdrawal treatment solution available.

Slidell is one of 23 Louisiana cities that will be participating in a Leaders Against Litter event on Friday.
At 9 a.m., leaders will gather at the corner of Front Street and East Hall Avenue. They will proceed along Front Street and Gause Blvd., collecting litter using golden grabbers.
After the cleanup, the leaders will be asked to sign a pledge to spread the word that litter is not acceptable, to pick up litter whenever they see it and to lead the way for a litter-free Louisiana.
Later that day, Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne will announce how many bags of trash were picked up and how may pledges were signed.
For the general public, the Great American Cleanup will take place at 9 a.m. May 2 at Possum Hollow Park, 801 Cousin St., Slidell. For information on the Great American Cleanup in Slidell, call (985) 646-4307 or visit keepslidellbeautiful.org.

I know, I know–it's been ages! But I've been busy, busy. First there was the move. Then there was the unloading. Then there was (still is) the unpacking. Then there was (still is) the task of finding a home for all of our belongings. Then there was the painting of the living room and the ripping up of carpet. Then there was the first day of kindergarten (today).
I'm tired. But I'm also adjusting and acclimating.
I have much to say, but I wanted to share a conversation between Amélie and me before I forget it. Today was her first day of kindergarten (pictures will eventually follow), but instead of making her smart, kindergarten seems to have made her…smarty.
Amélie: I want to go outside and play.
Me: I need to put Jack down for a nap, and then we can go outside.
Amélie: But it's my swingset, and I want to go outside now.
Me: It may be your swingset, but I am your mother, and if I let you go outside now I won't be able to see you while I am getting Jack down for his nap, and I don't really want you outside if I'm not there.
Amélie: You're not my mother. You're my stepmother.
her stepmother? I have sacrificed myself on the altar of motherhood only to be informed that I'm not even her real mother? In that case, I'm going to live up to the part, hand her a broom, and have her sweep the chimney.

Engineering Applications with PhotoModeler
PhotoModeler software has many capabilities and features that support the requirements of engineers and scientists. Mechanical, civil and chemical engineers use PhotoModeler for a diverse set of measuring and dimensioning tasks. The use of PhotoModeler by research scientists and academics is only limited by the imagination!
With PhotoModeler you can:
- Generate as-built drawings
- Perform high-density surface modeling
- Measure and Model existing installations and equipment
- Do reverse-modeling of mechanical parts
- Model cylindrical objects such as pipes and vessels without pre-targeting
- Perform dynamic measurements on equipment or processes
- Export models for use in CAD programs
- Track deformation and other movement/shape changes with the Motion tool in PMS or PMU.
View some examples and learn how PhotoModeler is measuring and modeling everything from surface models to power plants.
Electrical Station ModelThis project was created by Sitag S.L. in Spain. The project displays the industrial modeling capabilities of PhotoModeler. The subject is an electrical station. PhotoModeler is used to model the station structure as well as electrical towers and lines.
The Cylinder tool was used to model various poles and pipes. Results were viewed and measured in PhotoModeler. The project coordinate data was studied in PhotoModeler's Point Table and then exported to CAD for further examination. The project used a total of 11 photos and 734 3D points.
Measuring Over Time
In this project, a moving sheet was measured and modeling over time with the PhotoModeler Motion Tool. The screen shot shows PhotoModeler stepping through all epochs in the Type 2 Sheet Measurement project. The photos jump around because they were done with one camera (typical of type 2). You can see the coded targets on the sheet and the background. The wire frame surface is visible as well as the table of 3D points as they change in each epoch.
In this client project, micro unmanned aerial vehicle wings are tracked over time.
Brewery/Piping Model
This project was conducted by Eos Systems and shows the measurement and modeling capabilities of PhotoModeler in an industrial setting. The subject was a boiler area located in a small brewery in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The Cylinder modeling tool was used here to measure and model pipes on the boiler structure.
The pipes modeled in this project can be measured right within PhotoModeler. Using the measure tool, information such as length and diameter can be retrieved. This project was created using a Kodak DCS 200 camera, with the resulting model using 13 photos and 75 3D points. The resulting model displayed is shown in PhotoModeler's 3D Viewer. The Object Properties feature allows you to add photo textures to surfaces, and colors to other objects such as cylinders, lines and points.
Italian Aircraft Model
This large and detailed project of a S211 aircraft from Italy was modeled by students conducting a study on the use of PhotoModeler for the purpose of reverse engineering. This project shows that with some planning, PhotoModeler is capable of modeling very complex objects.
The airplane was pre-marked with stickers before taking photos. The grid-shaped stickers helped the students mark and reference matching points on the many curved areas. Using the point and line tools, a detailed model of the airplane body was constructed.
PhotoModeler's Cylinder tool was used to help model the airplane's landing gear. Surfaces were added in PhotoModeler to complete the model.
The project was completed by students at the Università degli Studi di Bologna, Italy. The final project consisted of 35 photos and 657 marked and referenced points.
PhotoModeler Video - Industrial Example
The folks at the Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright Patterson AFB are carrying out some fascinating work on MUAVs - Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
USAF Captains David Curtis and Nathan Pitcher used PhotoModeler and the PMV module (now the Motion tool) to track changes to 3D wing shape.
Captain Curtis developed testing methods for analyzing the performance of a miniature flapping wing mechanism that could later be adapted to a flapping wing micro air vehicle. He used a non-intrusive photogrammetry method employing laser dot projection and PhotoModeler Video to measure the shape of the wing during flapping. Approximately 100 data points representing wing shape and orientation were collected at 1000 Hz. Captain Curtis' Master's thesis, Laser Dot Projection Photogrammetry and Force Balance Measurement Techniques for Flapping Wing Micro Air Vechicles, describes this work in great detail.
Captain Pitcher examined the static aeroelastic behavior of the Nighthawk MUAV wings using a combined experimental and computational approach. He used PhotoModeler Video during wind tunnel testing to measure the average deflected shape of the flexible and stiff wings during flight. Captain Pitcher's Master's thesis, A Static Aeroelastic Analysis of a Flexible Wing Mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, and the paper, Videogrammetry Dynamics Measurements of a Lightweight Flexible Wing in a Wind Tunnel, provide detailed information about these works.
PhotoModeler and the PMV module gave Captains Curtis and Pitcher a powerful, accurate and non-contact tool for measuring 3D wing shape changes at video frame rates.
For further information you can contact Dr. Jonathan Black, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson AFB.
