Hello! I'm Lisa, a 30-something currently living in suburban Philadelphia. I'm carving this space out here on the interwebs for a few reasons… I love to write! I love art and design! And I'm at a point in my life where I need to be more accountable for my actions and responsible for the ramifications that result. Boy, that sounds SO serious and scary and like I'm in a downward spiral. Eek! But I'm not, and not doing anything bad. Promise! Just need to start making more of the right choices to nurture my mind, body and spirt. So I guess that does make it serious, at least to me.
So, with that said, I'm tasking this space to do three things:
1) to be an outlet for all of the creative endeavors I want to pursue;
2) to be my accountability coach as I develop new habits and hobbies; and
3) to inspire me to live my best life, and open my horizons to new adventures!
A little more about me… So, I spend the majority of my waking hours during the week working full time as a CSR and in-house graphic designer for a commercial printing company across the county line. I've been working there for 11 years now, and while it's had its ups and downs (and ups and downs) along the way, it has helped me grow in so many ways. I'm *generally* happy with the way it challenges me on daily basis, and I look forward to continuing to expand my responsibilities into more creative facets of the everyday business.
"I love home decor from the top of my head down to my tippy toes. I need it in my life. The challenges and the joy it brings."
How did I get into design? I've always had a love of art, it was my favorite "special" throughout elementary school and I studied it all through middle school, high school and college. Back in 9th grade, I thought I wanted to be an interior designer. I would rearrange my bedroom on a whim for as long as I can remember. Just ask my mom! She would hear me moving furniture from the first floor of my childhood home and know I was at it again. So I took an elective class. It was fun. But it wasn't what I thought it would be. By 11th grade, I developed an interest in graphic design instead. So when I went to college, that's what I majored in. I graduated in 2006 with a BFA concentrating in Graphic Design and a minor in Business Admin. And now I am surrounded by both things every day at my 9-5 (which is actually an 8-5, ugh…), whether I'm designing our own promotional pieces or doing client work, or even just admiring (or critiquing) customer designs as they pass through my hands coming in and out of production. But interiors will always have a soft spot in my heart. I know this sounds cliché, but I love home decor from the top of my head down to my tippy toes. I need it in my life. Both the challenges and the joy it brings.
I've been living in my 1300+ s.f. condo/townhome for just over three years now, and ever since I first saw the MLS listing back in March 2015, I've been giddy with excitement over its potential, my brain overflowing with ideas for decorating it, transforming it into something special, and making it my very own. And I'm happy to report that that feeling hasn't faded as time has passed. In fact, it's only intensified. I've decorated every inch once, and then started redecorating almost every inch again. A lot is still in progress. Just like me. And guess what, I'm eager to tackle it all. Will my to do list ever end? I hope not!
I hope you'll join me as I chronicle my love affair with home decor, and my attempts at being accountable for all of the other choices I make in life. My hope is to inspire you, in some small (or big) way, as I seek to better myself and figure out how to make everything in life mix and marry together seamlessly, like a great design.

This former Marine crafted his rebellious singer-songwriter persona whilst in the service. His music reminds us of the days when country music was lawless and raw. Whether writing about addiction, heartache, family, or women, Jamey Johnson has become country's newest outlaw because his songs are written from the heart. Jamey Johnson tour dates have been scheduled nationally, fulfilling Johnson's lifelong dream of traveling the country to share his gift with his fans.
Johnson hails from Alabama and after a short stint at Jacksonville State University, the country music rebel enlisted with the US Marine Corps and stayed for eight years before moving to Nashville in 2000 to pursue his career. His songwriting talents were quickly noticed, and he penned the hit single "Honkytonk Badonkadonk" for Trace Adkins in 2005. It was soon after this that he signed a deal with BNA records to cut an album. The following year he released The Dollar, whose title track peaked at #14 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. With only lukewarm sales, Johnson was soon dropped from BNA and he became somewhat reclusive. However, Johnson wouldn't be out of the scene for too long; he returned to his songwriting roots and penned George Strait's #1 country hit "Give it Away" and Joe Nichols' hit "Another Side of You." Without a record deal, Johnson self-recorded and produced 2008's That Lonesome Song, which caught the attention of label execs at Mercury Nashville. He was soon signed to the record label and released the hit single "In Color" the following year. In 2009, "In Color," was awarded with the Song of the Year award by the Academy of Country Music and was also nominated for two Grammy Awards. With critical acclaim and a gold-certified album, Johnson's return was one of redemption. In 2010, Johnson released the gold certified The Guitar Song, which featured the hit track, "Heartache." In support of the album, Jamey Johnson tour dates were scheduled at various locations throughout the US.
The Jamey Johnson concert schedule 2011 has him slated as the opening act for Kid Rock's Born Free Tour. Jamey Johnson tour dates and appearances highlight the singer-songwriter's ability to relate to people from all walks of life, and all four corners of the globe. Make sure you don't miss out on the chance to catch this country outlaw live; make Eventful your source for Jamey Johnson tour dates.

Weighty matters
2 comments:
Hey Jenna, you are beautiful, inside and out. You are such a great gift to us Deckerts and while I hear totally what you are saying, it makes me kinda sad.
I remember when I started to have to watch my weight. I blame it all on Rob. When he went to kindergarten I thought I should shed the baby fat so off I went to WW and did shed the pounds -- took about 9 months. Of course it took 9 months plus 5 years to get it on!!
I will always struggle for the "perfect" image and it it so much harder for me since my surgery. I mean, where did those boobs go?????????????? But I don't have cancer and am healthy so who cares. AND this summer I am going to put a bathing suit on no matter what. (I hope!!)
I'll pray for your strength and determination re the diet. South Beach is great for a kick start but I am a Weight Watchers believer because it is more "normal" and easier to handle when you go out. Count the calories, exercise, drink your water and don't eat after 7:00 pm and it'll come off. I promise!!
Now get Rob on it too!!
Later my daughter,
(that'll keep them guessing!!)

Hi Jen,
I have been where you are (still am in my own fashion).
I went on birth control and gained quite a few. Tried Atkins (4 weeks), lost some, went on Anti-D's and lost some more. Stopped the Anti-D's and gained it all back. Working long hours, little time, and no energy to exercise. Joined the Y but have only been once and will be cancelling cuz it's a waste of money when you don't use the membership. Thought I might try running (gasp*, the memories of doing it before make me cringe) and was devastated to find I could only make it to the end of the street. Have a great bike, but alas, too little time I feel. I know they say that if you want something, you make time... but I can't find time! Maybe it's my own issue or maybe I really have little time... Who knows. All I can say is that I feel for you and know the ups and downs of weight issues and how you feel about yourself when you are in them. The other reply to your post was awesome! I beleive that what it really comes down to is feeling good about yourself, regardless of your weight. When you focus too much on something, it becomes your whole world and your complete image of yourself. There is so much more to a person than the outside husk of the human body. We are all spirits experiencing a human life. You must truly believe that to let go of the issues you have with the body. Let go and everything falls into place. I am still not estatic with my own image but remind myself how lucky I am to have so much good in my life and to be healthy. Everything comes down to how you see life. I am always reminded of people who carry extra weight and are happy within themselves. They exude that happiness and they, as well as the world don't judge them on the outside appearance because the inner joy pours out and that is all that is seen.
So- the lesson I see is that it is what is on the inside, not on the outside that determines a life. Jen- you have so much beauty to share... don't let your view of the outer image cloud what is inside you. Peace within is the ultimate prize and it is there for everyone if one just grabs it.
I love you! So much!! Please don't let weight cloud your wonderful life. It is an albatross that only weighs a person down, no pun intended. Go on the diet and I wish you the best, just be sure it isn't your main focus because you will lose the beauty of life that is all around you.
Keep looking to the sky and know that God walks with you every step and he/she is saying "Jenna, you are perfect in my eyes". God lives within you, embrace that voice and learn to love all of you....
That is my post and I am sticking to it:)
Much love to you and Rob...

There's no such thing as a shortcut to success. But, if millennials want to do themselves a favor, they can learn much from those that came before them. Making an effort to learn career practices of those that have been in the workforce longer can prove an essential resource for those that are new to the business world. Consider these eight career practices that millennials can learn from baby boomers.
You do. And if you want your company to succeed, you need employees who are engaged, satisfied and willing to go the extra mile for you. Our mission is to help you achieve this goal.

The Skills Gap Is Bunk
From Dan Irwin…
You name the business pundit or educator. They're all saying that the US labor market has a skills gap, a gap that has a heavy impact upon the unemployment rate. But how accurate, really, are those statistics. And more significantly, when you drill down into the jobs data what does it reveal?In other words, workers don't have the proper skills. But Dan says otherwise, quoting from the book Why Good People Can't Get Jobs: The skills gap and what companies can do about it. by Peter Capelli. It's must reading for HR managers.
The basics are scary. Four years after the start of the Great Recession, US business is making record profits. But we have a "jobless recovery" with unemployment stubbornly high. Two-thirds of manufacturing employers decry the lack of qualified applicants. Fast-growing companies say that finding really qualified candidates is a huge impediment to growth.
Last week we posted an article that indicated jobs for skilled workers were going unfilled. Here we have the opposite view as to why this is the case.

Trust In Business Falls Off A Cliff
Since 2009, Interaction Associates, a consulting firm based in Boston that advises on human resources and company leadership, has run a survey that measures how much employees trust the leaders who run their businesses. As of this year, the percentage of respondents who said they see their bosses as collaborative and trustworthy is at an all-time low.
Together with the Human Capital Institute, an international trade association for HR consulting firms, Interaction Associates polled 440 people at 300 companies, including small firms with fewer than 1,000 employees and multinational corporations with workforces of more than 20,000, across industries ranging from financial services to manufacturing. The online survey asked 82 questions, including broad queries about whether respondents see their organization as having effective leadership at the top and more specific questions about whether companies stick to timelines and change goals in the middle of projects.

Jobs for skilled workers are going unfilled
With more than 12.7 million Americans unemployed, companies have no trouble attracting applicants. What's tougher for some firms is finding qualified workers. Just ask California Steel Industries.
The Fontana steel maker needs experienced electrical and mechanical technicians to help it make metal pipes and flat-roll sheets used in construction projects. The pay is good. An industrial maintenance mechanic can make $64,000 a year plus health benefits. In good years, company profit-sharing can boost pay by $5,000.
Still, California Steel is struggling to fill 18 openings.

Is it Time to Communicate Human Capital Value to Investors?
If the rhetoric is true and people really are an organization's greatest asset, is it time for public companies to start sharing the value of that asset with investors, creditors and other interested parties? According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the American National Standards Institute Inc. (ANSI), the answer is yes. Following up on their cost-per-hire metric, SHRM and ANSI have teamed up once again to develop "Guidelines for Reporting Human Capital Metrics to Investors." The question is, will CFOs and other senior executives agree that reporting this information publicly is useful and effective?

Workers Cite Flexible Schedules, Leaving Early on Fridays as Most Prized Summer Benefits
The study also shows employers may be warming up to these perks: Three out of four (75 percent) human resources (HR) managers interviewed said their company offers flexible schedules during the summer, and more than six in 10 (63 percent) noted that workers are allowed to leave early on Fridays.

The 5 ways great bosses win the battle against their evil twins
Consider this fair warning, managers. Lurking nearby, ready to make an uninvited workplace visit, is your "evil twin." That substandard sibling is the one your staff sees when they misinterpret your behavior.
I've met countless "evil twins" while reviewing the 360-degree feedback of managers I've taught and coached. I'm not talking about truly bad bosses. These are skilled supervisors, trying to do something positive, but their actions are misread by those they manage.
I see it so often that I've made the eradication of "evil twins" an essential part of my management teaching and writing, so leaders can know and do something about it.
Imagine that you've always believed that good bosses shouldn't be afraid to get their hands dirty, so you roll up your sleeves and do front-line work from time to time to prove it. You envision yourself as "the boss who pitches in." Unfortunately, your staff sees your "evil twin," the micromanager.

Aon Hewitt finds employee engagement rising globally
After years of declining employee engagement and emotional and intellectual involvement in the workplace, 2011 has seen a modest gain.
According to Aon Hewitt's 2012 Trends in Global Employee Engagement report, worldwide engagement rose to 58 percent last year from 56 percent in 2010. In North America, it held steady at 64 percent.
The report, which analyzed more than 3,100 organizations representing 9.7 million employees worldwide, found that employee perception improved in leadership, with 61 percent of employees believing leadership at the business unit and division level was effective, up from 54 percent in 2010; human resources, with 53 percent of employees believing their HR practices were creating a positive environment, up from 47 percent in 2010; and customer relationships, with 75 percent of employees finding them rewarding, compared to 70 percent in 2010.

Leadership communication isn't about saying things; it's about taking change seriously
Tony Hayward, then CEO of BP, told the media in 2010 that he wanted his life back. He got it, but not in the way he intended. His quote was part of an ineffective attempt to show he cared about the consequences of the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion.
The full quote: "I'm sorry. We're sorry for the massive disruption it's caused their lives. And you know we're — there's no one who wants this thing over more than I do. You know, I'd like my life back." But the back end got all of the attention. He had stepped on his message.
It was the beginning of the end for Hayward. He was out of a job a few months later, having lost the trust and confidence of those who mattered to him. His blunder was a failure of leadership on a massive scale. And it began with a failure of communication. And that failure, in turn, was a failure of discipline.

Banks to pay for Customer Rip-Offs
0 have signed. Let's get to 200!
The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry is exposing the misdeeds, lies, corruption and outright stealing by Banks and other Financial institutions. Some of these we already knew- the CBA's Financial Planning fiasco, Comminsure, Austrac breaches, charging fees for no service and to dead customers. So far we also know that only a few planners have been fined or barred from practice and some Executives have taken a walk, like Ian Nerev of CBA, AMP chief executive Craig Meller and Chairman Catherine Brenner. But no one has yet been charged and they all seem to be able to keep their ill gotten gains.
The story on page 35 and 36 of AFR of 30 April 2018 tells us what has happened to many customers of CBA. The story highlights a typical example of the allegations against CBA by Bankwest SMEs. It has been alleged that CBA forced viable Bankwest small business customers into receivership. The alleged motive was that CBA could not raise the wholesale and capital funding required to meets its prudential capital obligations and thus it was more viable for CBA to remove performing SME customer loans from the loan book. They did this by using non-monetary technical defaults to reclassify performing loans as impaired and then transferred the customer files to CBA's turnaround division (Credit Asset Management - CAM) where the customers where allegedly price gouged with fees and charges for years. Most of the SME customers were left broke, bankrupt and destroyed. Mr Rory Obrien's story is similar to ours. My wife and I were small business owners in the motel industry. In 2009 we borrowed $920,000 from Bankwest to purchase a motel. The loan was for a term of 15 years with the first 2 years being interest only. We met all interest and repayments when due. In 2011 we were encouraged to borrow $1,360,000 for another motel on 15 year term with interest only for the first two years. Repayments to start at the expiry of the interest only period on 31 December 2013. When the loan documents arrived, it had an expiry date of 31 December 2013. We took that date as expiry date of the interest only period. It wasn't. Bankwest wrote to us the loans had expired and asked us to repay. All attempts to find a solution failed. Receivers were called. Why the term was reduced from 15 years to 2 was never explained. Nobody would take up a 2 year loan unless there was a firm clearance or refinance in place. Why take a loan if it has to be refinanced in 2 years at additional costs? The AFR story goes some way to explain the reason. We were ripped-off.
So far there has been no confirmation from the Royal Commission as to whether the Bankwest takeover allegations will be investigated. The Hayne Royal Commission will need to decide whether CBA's systemic policy constitutes conduct below community expectations.
In the early days of the Royal Commission, Treasurer Scott Morrision is quoted in SMH "Banks to pay for Customer Rip-Offs". In a recent announcement by the Treasurer and Minister for Revenue and Financial Service, they stated that ASIC will be given powers to fine $1,000,000 or 10% turnover for each offense. But here's the sting, this will apply from 1 July 2018 to future crimes. But what about the present victims? One only has to look at what happened to the victims of Comminsure and fraudulent financial advice. They are still waiting or have been offered a pittance. On this basis, past victims will die before they get a cent. Over the next 10-12 months the Royal Commission will expose more misdeeds and fraud. The credibility of the finance sector has taken a battering with negative comments everyday. As a result, confidence in the Big Four Banks and other Finance behemoths continue to erode. Not only will customers slowly migrate to other institutions but shareholders will remove their funds from the Banks as the prospect of heavy penalties weigh down on them. This will become a death by a thousand cuts. The very thing the Government has been trying to avoid.
We know that the financial institutions have lied not only to their customers but to regulators and the people of Australia. They only confess to their misdeeds when confronted. CBA's losing customer records in 2016 is another example. They have to be forced.
The solution is simple. Give Financial institutions a 6 month amnesty. They are to fess up, contact all victims of their greed and negotiate a settlement. Meantime Government to pass the regulation or legislation that the new penalties will apply on all claims not settled during the amnesty period. The Government is to set up a court or extend the terms of this Royal Commission to get submissions from victims, decide the merit of the claim, issue orders for compensation and punitive damages where victims have suffered more than just financial loss. In addition the Court is to levy a fine not only on the institution but on individuals including criminal charges against every individual who knew or ought to have known of the malfeasance. The individuals include Bank staff, Receivers, Liquidators and Lawyers who were party to and knowledge of the malfeasance.
Banks and other institutions have lost their social licence. The past behaviour of a few has tainted all honest hard working people in the industry. Remember the St George advertisement, " I am a Banker....but I work for St George". That is a reality now. Every Bank staff, Financial Planner, insurance agent will be treated with suspicion or contempt. This will allow the Banks a clean slate to start afresh with confidence. The situation is akin to discovering cancer in the body, it has to be removed quickly before it spreads killing the patient. The finance industry is too important to our economy to be allowed to weaken let alone die. Decisive action is required.
The victims should not have to wait. If the Government was Fair Dinkum they would act immediately otherwise they will be seen as protecting the Banks instead of the victims.

Hey! In this tutorial, we're going to make a simple snake-like body made up using nodes and drawn using triangles.
This is what we'll achieve in this tutorial:
So let's get going!
This example was made in GameMaker Studio 2, but it should work in 1.4 as well.
We'll make a 2D array that contains nodes in its first axis and its properties in the second. We'll call that array body.
So, in body[n, m], n is the node, and m is the property you want to access. The properties will be its x/y position, direction, width and edges.
That array will contain the nodes with their positions. Each node will follow the node before it. Then, the body will be drawn using triangles.
Initialization (Create)
First of all, I'll create an object for the body. I'll call it oBody.
In its Create event, I'll initialize some enums and variables:
//Constants enum pr{ xpos, ypos, dir, width, p0x, p0y, p1x, p1y } //Vars nodes = 32; node_dist = 8;
If you don't know what enums are, read the Enums part on this page. With these enums, I am initializing the property types for the nodes.
nodes is how many nodes there will be in total, and node_dist is the distance between each node.
Now, we'll initialize the body array:
//Array for(var i=0; i<nodes; i++){ body[i, pr.xpos] = x - node_dist*i; body[i, pr.ypos] = y; body[i, pr.dir] = 0; body[i, pr.width] = 32; body[i, pr.p0x] = 0; body[i, pr.p0y] = 0; body[i, pr.p1x] = 0; body[i, pr.p1y] = 0; }
This is pretty simple. This for loop initializes all the nodes and their properties in the array. So, in body[i, pr.xpos], i is the node, and pr.xpos is the x position (pr is the enum, xpos is its member).
If you want, you can add more properties for the nodes simply by making another enum member.
x – node_dist*i will place the nodes in a horizontal position, from right to left.
Movement (Step)
Now, we'll make the body move towards the mouse. In its Step event, we'll add this:
//Movement var mDir = point_direction(body[0, pr.xpos], body[0, pr.ypos], mouse_x, mouse_y); body[0, pr.dir] = mDir; body[0, pr.xpos] += lengthdir_x(mouse_check_button(mb_left) * 4, mDir); body[0, pr.ypos] += lengthdir_y(mouse_check_button(mb_left) * 4, mDir);
mDir will get the direction from the position from the first node towards the mouse. That direction will be applied to the first node.
Then, the first node will be moved towards that direction, by adding lengthdir values to it. The first argument in those functions is the speed, and the second is the direction. So, it will move if you click the left mouse button.
So, this will move the first node. But what about the rest? Well, basically, each node will follow the one before it. So, node 1 will follow node 0, then node 2 will follow node 1, and so on.
This for loop will handle it all:
//Nodes for(var i=1; i<nodes; i++){ body[i, pr.dir] = point_direction(body[i, pr.xpos], body[i, pr.ypos], body[i-1, pr.xpos], body[i-1, pr.ypos]); body[i, pr.xpos] = body[i-1, pr.xpos] + lengthdir_x(node_dist, body[i, pr.dir]-180); body[i, pr.ypos] = body[i-1, pr.ypos] + lengthdir_y(node_dist, body[i, pr.dir]-180); }
You can see that the loop starts from 1 instead of 0, because we've already handled the first node.
The first line in the loop sets the node's direction. It gets the direction from the current node towards the previous node. So, it would face the node before it.
The next lines set the position of the node. The position for the current node is calculated from the position of the previous node. Using the lengthdir functions, the current node is placed node_dist distance away from the previous node, in the direction opposite to where the current node is facing (calculated by subtracting 180 from it).
Now, we'll calculate the edges for the nodes. For that, we'll add this for loop in the Step event:
//Edges for(var i=0; i<nodes; i++){ body[i, pr.p0x] = body[i, pr.xpos] + lengthdir_x(body[i, pr.width]/2, body[i, pr.dir]-90); body[i, pr.p0y] = body[i, pr.ypos] + lengthdir_y(body[i, pr.width]/2, body[i, pr.dir]-90); body[i, pr.p1x] = body[i, pr.xpos] + lengthdir_x(body[i, pr.width]/2, body[i, pr.dir]+90); body[i, pr.p1y] = body[i, pr.ypos] + lengthdir_y(body[i, pr.width]/2, body[i, pr.dir]+90); }
For each node in the loop, two edges are calculated: p0(x/y) and p1(x/y). The distance between those edges is governed by the width property of that node.
One edge of a node is placed width/2 distance away from it, in dir-90 direction (right). The other is placed width/2 distance away in dir+90 (left) direction.
Triangles (Draw)
Now, we'll handle the drawing of the body. We'll add this in the Draw event:
//Draw with triangles for(var i=1; i<nodes; i++){ draw_triangle(body[i-1, pr.p0x], body[i-1, pr.p0y], body[i-1, pr.p1x], body[i-1, pr.p1y], body[i, pr.p0x], body[i, pr.p0y], false); draw_triangle(body[i, pr.p1x], body[i, pr.p1y], body[i-1, pr.p1x], body[i-1, pr.p1y], body[i, pr.p0x], body[i, pr.p0y], false); }
Here, 2 triangles are drawn. They are drawn at the edges of the current node and the previous node.
Here's a visual representation of how it'll work:
The blue points are the nodes. The arrows show their directions. The red points are the edges.
So, from the nodes, the edges will be calculated (in Step). Then triangles will be drawn using those points (in Draw).
If you place the object in a room and run the game, you can see that it follows the mouse.
Skeleton (Draw)
If you want to see the skeleton of the body, add this code inside the for loop in the Draw event, at the end:
//skeleton triangles draw_set_color(c_red); draw_triangle(body[i-1, pr.p0x], body[i-1, pr.p0y], body[i-1, pr.p1x], body[i-1, pr.p1y], body[i, pr.p0x], body[i, pr.p0y], true); draw_triangle(body[i, pr.p1x], body[i, pr.p1y], body[i-1, pr.p1x], body[i-1, pr.p1y], body[i, pr.p0x], body[i, pr.p0y], true); //skeleton nodes draw_set_color(c_blue); draw_circle(body[i, pr.xpos], body[i, pr.ypos], 2, false); //skeleton lines draw_line(body[i, pr.xpos], body[i, pr.ypos], body[i-1, pr.xpos], body[i-1, pr.ypos]); draw_set_color(c_white);
This will draw the skeleton with the triangles in red and the nodes in blue.
For collisions, you can use this script:
/// body_collision(object); /// @arg object var obj = argument0; for(var i=1; i<nodes; i++){ //collision var col = false; var _body = body; with(obj){ if (rectangle_in_triangle(bbox_left, bbox_top, bbox_right, bbox_bottom, _body[i-1, pr.p0x], _body[i-1, pr.p0y], _body[i-1, pr.p1x], _body[i-1, pr.p1y], _body[i, pr.p0x], _body[i, pr.p0y]) || rectangle_in_triangle(bbox_left, bbox_top, bbox_right, bbox_bottom, _body[i, pr.p1x], _body[i, pr.p1y], _body[i-1, pr.p1x], _body[i-1, pr.p1y], _body[i, pr.p0x], _body[i, pr.p0y])) { col = true; } } //return true if collision is found if (col) return true; } return false;
Basically, this runs a loop similar to the one in the Draw event. But instead of drawing the triangles, it checks if an object's hitbox is touching the triangles. If it is, it returns true.
To check the hitbox, it uses the function rectangle_in_triangle() which checks whether a rectangle is touching a triangle. The rectangle here is made up using the object's hitbox coordinates (bbox_left, bbox_top, bbox_right and bbox_bottom) and the triangles are the same triangles that are drawn.
So, you can use this like a condition:
if (body_collision(oRock)){ //do something on collision }

The National Development and Reform Commission plans to launch a trial scheme for medicine price reform to promote affordable drugs, the Economic Information Daily reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed person with knowledge of the matter. The reform involves reducing the prices of some Chinese medicines and a low-price medicine catalogue list, according to the newspaper. In October last year the NDRC started looking into the pricing and cost structures of Chinese drug makers, the report said.

Originally Published in American Educator's Winter 2014/2015 edition. Read the article in its entirety here.
"Success never will look the same for all. NCLB's goal of 100 percent proficiency as judged by high-stakes testing is antithetical to learning. When we deny diversity in student strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, we risk robbing children of the chance to experience success that begets confidence and perseverance. We risk sending the message that to be different is to be less than. We all know the child who scores off the charts on a standardized test but can't pack his bag at the end of the day or tie her shoes. We also know the child who struggles to read and retain math concepts but is a prodigy on the saxophone. High-stakes testing does not reveal the full picture of who children are. As educators, we must demand better for our students."

Hamilton + Aitken Architects has a passion for designing learning environments. We view education design as an opportunity to spark imagination, support institutional identity, and foster community development. Every campus space – from hallway to cafeteria to classroom – has the potential to be an inspirational learning environment. Most of our firm's work is focused on improving educational environments.
Providing a variety of types and sizes of spaces inside and outside the classroom accommodates the diverse learning needs of students. For instance, small breakout spaces – such as tucked-away tables, niches, small rooms, covered patios, and soft seating areas – can provide areas for individual and small group work, one-on-one student-student or student-teacher tutoring, group meetings, and collaborative project spaces, as well as socialization opportunities. Attention to the design of both formal and informal learning environments provides "anytime, anywhere" learning opportunities.
Furniture is incredibly important to educational design, and is often relegated to the bottom of the funding food chain. Easily movable tables and chairs make it easier for teachers to arrange their classrooms in an optimal way, depending on the types of learning activities they have planned. Furniture that accommodates wiggling helps kinesthetic learners, like me, to feel comfortable and focus our attention without disrupting the class.
Learning environments need to be multifunctional. We like to design for an evolution of programmatic needs, for growth, and for optimum space flexibility. Flexible spaces allow a variety of activities, can change their use over time, adapt to user needs, and allow schools to maximize teaching space. Openable glass walls and movable acoustic partitions, mobile whiteboards and room dividers, and movable furniture allow classrooms to change shape and size to better accommodate different learning activities.
Students require spaces that not only support small group interaction and collaborative work, but also promote a culture that supports socialization opportunities. This increases student engagement and sense of ownership - flexible, changeable spaces for students to congregate; lots of area to display student work; and places that students can operate, like student stores – these all provide students with opportunities for engagement, to improvise and take chances, and to apply their knowledge and skills, all with a safety net underneath. The integration of technology in these spaces is very important, since students rely heavily on technology to access information, to create, and communicate.

It was a solemn celebration of the Holy Mass on 04/11/16 as the Governor of Delta State, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa joined the President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Ayuba Wabba and other labour leaders to bid Comrade David Ofoeyeno a final goodbye.
Comrade Ofoeyeno until his passage to the great beyond at the age of 53 was the Chairman of NLC, Delta State Council.
Governor Okowa during the funeral Mass held at St. Michael's Catholic Church, Steel Township 1, DSC, Aladja, urged labour leaders to always protect the interest of their members and be cautious of destabilizing government with their actions.
"We have truly lost a leader in labour unionism, we at the state have lost a friend, he always had strong voice for the union, yet, he was cautious not to destabilize the government, that is how it should be," the governor said, adding, "David's death is a great loss to a lot of people, he was a special man, for the past eight years, he has always identified with me, I am excited that he is with our God, he was God's gift to our generation."
The governor continued, "he was a philanthropist, a committed and intelligent unionist, a dedicated father and a true champion for the workforce who believed in constructive engagement with the government which has yielded a lot of results."
Governor Okowa assured members of his family and the church that his administration would sustain his legacies, especially, school for special children, Centre for Children with Neurological Disorder (AUTISM) which was established by the late unionist.
"Not many Nigerians will think in that direction," Governor Okowa said, reiterating, "he (Comrade Ofoeyeno) spent his resources to care for those who are in need."
President of NLC, Comrade Wabba in a brief tribute, stated, "we have lost a trust-worthy labour leader, with his life, he proved that it is not how long somebody has lived but how well, we will greatly miss him."
He reiterated, "we have heard testimonies of the good works he did, he stood for social justice, he gave hope to the oppressed; this is a sad moment for us."
Rev. Fr. Ezekiel Aworie in a homily, urged Christians to display their values, and attitude to the world by engaging in peaceful activities, stating, "we should live like our Lord, Jesus Christ for us to make heaven."
While describing the deceased labour leader as kind-hearted and generous, the Priest appealed to the Delta State Government to take over the running of the School for children with neurological disorder otherwise known as autism which was established by Comrade Ofoeyeno.

|How to define properties in a parent pom that are referenced in a child pom relative to the parent, not the child?
|Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:42:37 GMT
I'm trying to setup javascript unit tests with phantomjs. I'm trying to store the phantomjs executable in a parent pom along with a path setting relative to that. When it's referenced from a child pom, I need the path to be relative to the parent pom, not the child pom. I have a similar problem with other common resources that are needed for the test infrastructure. I browsed through the references that describe Maven properties, but I didn't see anything that might help me with this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

South Korean Defence Minister Song Young-moo will be welcomed to the Pentagon today—one day after North Korea fired a ballistic
South Korean Defence Minister Song Young-moo will be welcomed to the Pentagon today—one day after North Korea fired a ballistic missile over northern Japan in its most provocative test to date.
Mr Song and US counterpart Jim Mattis are expected to discuss plans to accelerate the deployment of the THAAD missile defence system. THAAD is designed to intercept short, medium and intermediate range ballistic missiles on re-entry, including outside the Earth's atmosphere—a unique characteristic. The batteries, of which about five are believed to exist, would have monitored yesterday's launch closely. Whether the lack of an interception was deliberate or the result of system limitations is unknown.
Missing from today's talks is Japan—it finds itself in the firing line and lacks the THAAD system or a credible offensive military. A 40-minute phone call between Shinzo Abe and Donald Trump yesterday produced messages of defiance; a UN Security Council meeting late on Tuesday night is expected to echo this.
As tensions reach crisis point, one country has the power to de-escalate them: China. While a foreign ministry spokesperson admitted the situation is at "tipping point", she also signalled an opportunity "to reopen peace talks". Between bombastic rhetoric and errant missiles, such prospects seem dim.

Some people really like attention. Those who want attention the most will go to amazing lengths to get it. Think of Britney Spears shaving her head and Royce Feuer running for ASUN President with a "don't vote for Royce" campaign slogan.
It makes sense that world leaders tend to be the most attention hungry. As the leader of the free world (Donald Trump) or leader of the not-so-free world (Kim Jong-un), everyone else listens to you and looks at you constantly. It's like being the loudest, most annoying kid in class except your class is the entire human race. It's especially easy to grab attention when you have the world's most destructive weapon at your disposal.
Usually those annoying kids can't do much harm to the rest of the class. Their only goal is to be looked at. That's why they blurt things out and occasionally bite someone when their attention meter is low. They thrive on being the one kid in the room that always has something controversial to say or do. We all grew up with one of these kids in school.
But what do you do when those angry little kids can actually do some real damage? Instead of just blowing spit wads and putting chewing gum in girls' hair, they have gigantic bombs that can blow up the planet. I say you treat them exactly the same way, and eventually they'll get tired and take a nap.
North Korea wants nuclear weapons, but nobody thinks that's a very good idea. It's always been this way, and things have been fine. We just ignore whichever Kim is in power, roll our eyes a little bit and go on with our day. Even South Koreans don't give him the satisfaction of listening to what he says, and they have to share a peninsula with him! Kim can't hurt anyone if you don't rile him up. Unfortunately, Trump came along, and was irked that Kim was getting so much of the spotlight. So, he butted his way in and reminded everyone that he has big bombs too.
What we have here is the classic case of two man-children trying to get the most attention from the rest of the class. We innocent citizens are the classmates, just trying to get through the day without any catastrophic events. Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un are the emotionally unstable attention seekers who play with the idea of catastrophic events because it gets everyone else excited. I'm not sure who the teacher is in this situation – maybe God or maybe Rick Sanchez?
We do live in strange times with these people in charge, but should we really take their chest puffing and threats seriously? Should we be worried that these testosterone-filled tough boys are going to start a nuclear war? I don't think so.
If Kim tries anything bold – like shoot down one of our planes or send a missile to Guam – Trump won't hesitate to blow him up. That's probably not in Kim's best interest. If he's dead, how is everyone going to pay attention to him?
As we try our best to make sense of the fact that the fate of humanity could rest in Trump's dainty, moisturized hands, it's important to remember that he's just a child looking for attention, and so is Kim. I'm confident we aren't starting a new cold war, and I don't think it's time to stock up on bottled water, canned food and AK-47's for your bomb shelter just yet.
Ignore the excited attention-seekers until they get tired. They'll move on when they realize nobody is listening.

Understanding the basics of Fire Suppression
Welcome to a brief update from the UK leaders of automatic fire suppression for mobile equipment and vehicles. Firstly, we would like to thank all our loyal customers for their continued business throughout 2018. With a lot of confusion and conflicting information about protecting your machines in the marketplace, we have put together a simple guide to understanding the basics of fire suppression.
Why do we use Dry Powder & Foam?
Like many things in life, there are always pro's and cons. The 'Suppression Agents' (chemicals) used in fire suppression systems are not exempt from this dilemma. Fireward's Dual Agent systems ensure customers receive the best of both the dry powder and foam agents benefits. Dry powder is our primary agent and as proven in SPCR183 testing at the Research Institute Of Sweden (RISE), dry powder performs over 40% better than foam only systems. Below we take a look at the key benefits and disadvantages of dry powder and foam:
The Fireward Automatic Dual-Agent Fire Suppression system in slow motion during recent SPCR approvals testing
The Importance of Approvals
Fireward understands the pro's and con's of both dry powder and foam agents, which is why our dual agent system provides the 'safest' and most cost-effective fire suppression system on the market.
Reacton Fire Suppression systems used by Fireward recently passed the fire testing for three major approvals at the Research Institutes of Sweden:
- SPCR 199 – Fire suppression systems in engine compartments of heavy vehicles
- SPCR 197 – Fire detection systems in engine compartments of heavy vehicles
- SPCR 183 – Fire suppression systems in engine compartments of buses and coaches
During testing, a complete performance examination of the systems is carried out through a series of demanding tests simulating the harsh environments and hazards that suppression systems are exposed to on a daily basis. This is also accompanied by the quality and control of the manufacture of the components in the system. This ensures that a product offering great firefighting abilities is also manufactured in a strict and controlled process meeting a consistent, high level of quality.
The Reacton Fire Suppression systems scored the maximum possible score and are suitable for open enclosures using our dual agent system on all tests taken at the Research Institute Of Sweden. Fireward systems already comply with the new European regulation UNECE R107.

Considering the 12.9-inch iPad Pro as a 'Couch Computer'
There has been talk recently within the Apple writer/podcaster community about adopting a multi-iPad setup. At first blush, it's a strange notion—why would anyone need two iPads?—but the logic behind it actually makes sense. The larger, 12.9" iPad Pro is a great productivity and entertainment device because of its screen, whereas the smaller, 9.7" iPad Pro is better suited for "lounging around the house"—i.e., sitting on the couch, catching up on Twitter or your Instapaper queue.
I have only one iPad, the 12.9" one, and love it. Aside from my iPhone 6s Plus, the "Big Pro" is my main computer. And by "main computer," I mean I use it for everything. I use it to write, watch Netflix or YouTube, and browse Twitter and the Web. Most of the time, I'm doing all this on the couch in my living room. When I write, I do it from the virtual keyboard, as I'm doing now to write this piece. When I'm reading Twitter or watching video, I do so by leaning back on the couch with the iPad Pro resting upright on my chest.
While the Big Pro is big and relatively unwieldy, reclining on the couch hasn't been an issue in my usage. As someone with low vision, it's a trade-off I'm willing to make. As I said about the iPhone 6s Plus, the Pro's screen is so good for my vision that it outweighs the disadvantage in portability or usability. In other words, big screens are better, thinness and lightness be damned.
Granted, my use case is unique, so I don't mean to imply that the 9.7" Pro is a worse device or unworthy of use. I mean only to say that, given my circumstances, the Big Pro is great as a productivity machine and as a lounge-on-the-couch device.
Aside from my accessibility needs, my love for the Big Pro is twofold. First, the iPad's multitasking features clearly were built for the 12.9" model. It really shines on the large display. Secondly, I love having 4GB of RAM. It makes launching apps, multitasking, everything, faster. The gains in multitasking and RAM are widely agreed upon, but I bring them up here simply to acknowledge them and give my approval.
Suffice it to say, I won't be joining the Two iPad Club. My one iPad is more than capable of doing what I want it to do, and its unquestionably the best computer I've ever had.

January 2018's Coolest Things
Every month the staff in the Sutherland Labs compete to find the coolest thing that is happening out in the world and deliver it dutifully to our Slack channel for judgement. This month has brought some extremely strong contenders for the title of Coolest Thing, contenders that in a normal month would have been uncontested winners. It seems like January is a month producing so many cool things it is downright cold!
After a solid month of squabbling – sorry, polite debate – the team have narrowed down the options for the coolest things that happened to exist in January to just three and now we are tossing those final champions among champions out into the internet arena for you to judge them. So without further ado; January's Coolest Things.
General Pencil Company
This piece in the New York Times takes us deep into the history and process of one of America's last working pencil factories and takes the time to show us just what a wonder the little wooden magic wands that we all use without a second thought every day really are. With a step by step view of the entire manufacturing process we get a glimpse of how many generations of iteration this simple design must have gone through to reach its final form. The problems that pencils solved, the place that they found for themselves in society and the ways that their creation reshaped the world – from education to design and manufacturing – are all outlined, presumably in graphite.
Nintendo Labo
It is cardboard. It is literally just some cardboard that they are selling us that we can slot our game controllers into. No new software or hardware. Just cardboard. Yet somehow, the Labo has become one of the most exciting things that Nintendo has produced in this generation. With the Wii, Nintendo reached out to a younger generation than any of its competitors could touch in their endless pursuit of complexity and with the Labo they are speaking directly to the child in all of us. The same kids that would build a fort out of a big cardboard box now have the chance to transform a gaming console into literally anything with the very same material. It is amazing how much you can do with so little when you let creativity run free.
20 Tips for Selling UX
This one might be a little bit more exciting for people like us who are in the User Experience Design Industry rather than the general public, but the same rules apply to selling nearly anything. Whether it is something simple like remembering that your understanding of your product is different from your user's or something more complicated like how to sidestep a lack of direct information by applying data from analogous situations. Having said that, this little guide on how to convince your "clients" to accept UX is probably going to be valuable to anyone who is trying to introduce those ideas to their own organization too. The call for UX is coming from inside the house!
That is all that we have for you this month, but do not worry because the world is vast and full of many more cool things that we will be happy to present for your approval next month!

Challenge Preparatory teacher Samantha Famigletti says she was born to teach. She always knew that teaching was her calling, spending hours as a child playing "school" in her imaginary classroom while pretending to be both teacher and students. It's no surprise she loved going to school, and even though she struggled in her studies one year, she turned all that around to ultimately fulfill her dreams of becoming a teacher.
Now Famigletti has several years of teaching experience and is currently seeking a Dual Masters degree in Literacy and ESL from St. John's University in Queens. Famigletti is truly set on making a difference in the lives of her students.
"I try to make my lessons relatable to the students to help each grow as a person. I like to use as much hands on learning as possible," Famigletti shared.
Famigletti recognizes teaching 4th graders has some unique challenges.
"This age is more emotional. They start to have social issues that they don't know how to handle yet, and that affects them academically. I help them by being open about my own life. For instance, if I have a bad morning, I show them that it doesn't have to ruin my whole day. My example can help show them how to manage tough situations."
Ms. Famigletti welcomes feedback from her students. She wants to know if a teaching technique is not working so she can make adjustments to be sure lessons are not compromised. She strives to help students love learning while keeping academic standards high.
"I want them to know that hard work pays off. Sometimes they don't know how much they have achieved, but I can show them the progress they have made over time," said Famigletti.
Famigletti begins her teaching day by greeting each student entering her classroom. As the day progresses, she loves to see how eager students are to show her their work and to see the light bulbs go off when they master something they have been struggling over.
Famigletti's approach and openness with students is making a difference. With a focus on academics coupled with learning life skills, the passion she has always had for teaching is clear.
"If I wasn't teaching, I have no idea what I would do. I love it, and no matter what I'm going to make it fun and enjoyable for my students and me."

Marion Le Pen 'QUITS politics' after aunt Marine fails to secure French election victory
Marion Maréchal-Le Pen was widely tipped to succeed her aunt Marine Le Pen as leader of the Front National - but in a sensational twist has now reportedly decided to step down from politics for good.
The 27-year-old has been long considered a rising star of the Front National party with support of Southern traditional conservative voters who shy away from the views of her aunt.
And she was pegged to take over to lead the party into victory in France's next election.
But she had previously indicated she never intended to stay in politics throughout her career.
Marine Le Pen failed to secure a victory in the French election
Marion Le Pen has been long considered a rising star of the Front National party
And today she was quoted by Le Parisien as saying she had made a "personal choice" to quit the political scene.
The French newspaper said she had already informed Marine Le Pen, who was decisively defeated by centrist former banker Emmanuel Macron in Sunday's election.
Ms Le Pen said: "I respect her choice. I know how demanding political life can be."
I respect her choice. I know how demanding political life can be
The two Le Pens previously clashed in the press during the election campaign, with the party leader telling French media her niece would not get a place in her cabinet.
Last month Marine Le Pen said: "My niece is an MP. I don't owe her anything.
"I don't owe anyone anything. I have no favours to return."
Marion Le Pen was pegged to lead Front National
Marine Le Pen only secured a third of the vote in the election
And the senior Le Pen went on to criticise Marion's demeanour, claiming she was "rather stiff".
It is unknown how long Marion will stay away from political life, as she is currently ranked as one of the most influential MPs in the country.
She is also the youngest member of the National Assembly ever elected, taking on the role at just 22.
Her reported exit comes as Marine Le Pen vowed to become the main opposition party in France, following Mr Macron's win with more than 65 per cent of the vote.

Scientists to film a documentary on the Putorana Plateau
Scientists from the Taimyr Nature Reserves have set off on an expedition to the heart of the Putorana Plateau to carry out a variety of complicated operations and film a documentary on Arctic nature during the spring, summer and autumn seasons, the Taimyr Nature Reserves site said.
"The researchers' plans include a whole variety of scientific studies of the area's flora and fauna, and also the dynamics of seasonal changes to many natural parameters," the site's announcement said. In particular, the scientists will track changes to migration routes taken by the wild northern reindeer.
Geographers and all-round specialists Vasily Sarana and Ivan Kobilyakov are taking part in the expedition, which is expected to last at least six months.

This Makeup Artist Is Giving Cancer Patients Free Makeovers
Battling chemotherapy is tough for cancer patients, but makeup artist Norman Freeman is helping several ladies get through it with a smile. Recently, the Pittsburgh-based professional started touring hospitals to give cancer patients free makeovers. Not only is he making a difference in his neighborhood, Freeman also travels all around the country to make other cancer patients happy.
In an interview with The Shade Room, Freeman explained that he is living with alopecia. Not having eyebrows or eyelashes took a toll on his confidence, and he, unfortunately, had to deal with bullies. "I was teased badly," Freeman explained. "There were times I wanted to kill myself." But he discovered the power of a little contouring and highlighting, and he has regained his confidence.

"When I put makeup on, it makes me feel so good about myself," Freeman explained. Now, he recognizes his beauty with or without makeup. And he's helping others to realize the same. Freeman uses his Instagram account to spread the word, and he's doing whatever it takes to visit the patients who reach out to him. Sometimes Freeman will hop on a bus, and he has used Airbnb for lodging. His self-funded project is really making a difference. Check out his GoFundMe page to find out how you can get involved and scroll down to see some of his awesome work.
Here's one of the cancer patients Freeman visited on his tour.
And here's Freeman posing with Chyna Harper after her stunning makeover.

During the meeting in the capital city on Sunday, the participants discussed activities of the four countries in the security and intelligence fields and presented security reports on countering terrorism.
Tehran, Moscow, Baghdad and Damascus also stressed the need to expand cooperation between the four countries in the fight against the ISIL terrorists and other terrorist groups.
During the meeting, Head of Iraq's Military Intelligence Organization Major General Saad Mezher Al-Alaq described as effective the role of this center in fighting against the ISIL terrorist group.
General Al-Alaq, meantime, warned about the new measures of the ISIL terrorist group and other terrorist groups within the framework of new terrorist groups.
Meantime, Iran's military attaché Mostafa Moradian said that one of the center's most important activities is presenting information about the ISIL and other terrorists' bases in Iraq and Syria to Iraqi forces.
The Quadrilateral Intelligence Center with members of the military attachés of Iran, Russia, Iraq and Syria, is headed by the Iraqi Military Information Organization since its foundation in 2015.
