Another round of snow tonight
Posted: Feb 6, 2018 3:31 AM EST
Snow showers are moving out early this morning but roads are left snow covered in slick. Give yourself extra drive time and take it slow. A few light lake effect snow showers are possible but another system starts to work its way into Michiana beginning late this evening lasting into Wednesday morning. Most will see a general 1-3" of snow but those closer to the lake shore could see 3-6" by the evening.
Snow chances remain in the forecast through the weekend with highs gradually warming up near 30 degrees. Next week is warmer and generally quieter.
Today: Mostly cloudy, flurries possible, high of 20.
Tonight: Snow showers, low of 16.
Wednesday: Snow showers, high of 22.
Thursday: Partly cloudy, highs in the low 20s, chance of snow.

The features in this playroom offer opportunity for play, craft and rest. The muted colour palette is a conscious step away from the bright primary colours often associated with play equipment, making it much more suited to the home environment. Key features include a bubble light tube, peg wall, soft climber, wall-mounted toy car track, double-lane slide and soft ball pool.
If you'd like us to design your dream playroom, contact our friendly team today.
The climbing wall/mini gym sits behind a table and chair set which is perfect for arts and crafts

If you're a fan of sushi, chances are the last thing you ever want to find in your dish is a caterpillar. But a new puzzle making the rounds on the internet challenges you to do exactly that. We have to say, it's a lot more fun in the form of an adorable cartoon illustration.
You may recall how Lenstore.co.uk, a UK-based contact lens store, gifted us all with Christmas-themed puzzle during the holiday season (it's not too late to find the Christmas pudding among the turkeys, if you haven't already!). Well, lucky for us, they have a whole bunch of other brain teasers up their sleeves. So far, we've searched high and low to find the umbrella among the ostriches and squinted our eyes as hard as we could to spot the mushroom among the jellyfish. So, naturally, we were up for the next challenge of finding the mysterious caterpillar crawling among the fancy Japanese meals.
Can you spot the little fella?

Wow! If it's a lot harder to find the bug than you thought it would be, you're certainly not alone. As much as we hope we would be able to spot a real caterpillar shimmying its way along our food, it's surprisingly challenging to find one in this cute drawing — especially since green is such a prominent color throughout the image.
The good news? If you give up, the solution can be found below.
(Photo Credit: Lenstore.co.uk)
We never would've thought to look there first! Give yourself a big pat on the back if you were able to eye it early on.

text: William Love played Jerome Willoughby from Wicklow in the Leinster Final. William won the first game 21-18 but the second game saw the Wicklow man take it 21-18, the third game saw William pull out all the stops winning convincly 21-4. The All Ireland semi final William travelled to Bofield, Co. Mayo to play Ciaran Burke from Mayo, the game was evenly contested with William winning in two games 21-17 21-19 earning a place in the All Ireland Junior Singles Final. The All Ireland Final was held in Kells, Co. Meath. After a tense start William settled in to the Game at 8 all, he got his game together to win the first 21-11. The second game followed the same pattern and was close until 7 all when once again William started to pull away, he had a huge task breaking down the very fit and agile Barry Devlin from Tyrone but with William's powerful kill shots which won the game for him 21-9. The scores didn't reflect the overall performance put up by both players. It was a very hard fought final with both players giving their all. This win gives him a distinct honour of holding Junior titles in 60x30, Hardballl and 40x20.

Are You Submission Ready?
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Faith has no value without evidence or proof that you believe in what you are doing. People will judge and critique you without ever meeting you, based upon YOUR passion and YOUR vision. Can you push through the pain and frustration to fulfill the purpose of bringing your narrative to fruition?
James 2:17-18 (NKJV)
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Alltel Corp. added further to its wireless footprint Friday, announcing a deal to acquire Midwest Wireless Holdings for nearly $1.1 billion in cash.
With the deal, Little Rock, Ark.-based Alltel AT, -1.66% said it expects to gain some 400,000 customers in parts of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin -- all markets contiguous to existing Alltel service areas in the Midwest.
The acquisition furthers the trend toward consolidation in rural markets. In all, the regions served by Mankato, Minn.-based Midwest Wireless have a potential market population of 1.9 million people.
Pending regulatory approvals, Alltel said that closing of the transaction would be expected during the first half of 2006.
Alltel, which currently serves more than 15 million subscribers in 36 states, completed the $4.5 billion acquisition of Western Wireless, another rural operator, during the third quarter, in the process entering nine additional states.
Shares of Alltel came under modest selling pressure after initially trading nearly 1% higher on word of the Midwest Wireless deal.
Meanwhile, Rural Cellular Corp. RCCC, +0.00% rallied as much as 21% and stood lately at $13.82, up 6.7%.

Teenage fans of "Sex and the City" will have something to look forward to in the fall of 2010. Harper Collins announced this week that it signed a 2-book deal with author Candace Bushnell to write about Carrie Bradshaw's high school days. According to US Magazine:
"I've always been interested in exploring Carrie's teenage years," Bushnell said in a statement. "Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd - she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene."
Perhaps inspired by the convergence of the loyalty of Harry Potter fans and the longevity of "Sex and the City's" global success, the novels are sure to be a cash cow for Harper Collins.
Be sure to leave your pick for the novels' name in the comments section. I betting on "Abstinence Before Marriage in a Small Town." Oh wait . . . that's the name of Sarah Palin's future grandchild. My bad!

Authorised Push Payment (APP) scams are where people are conned into authorising their bank to make payment to a fraudster.
The Payments Systems Regulator (PSR) is planning for new protections for consumers, from APP scams, to be in place from September 2018, as an industry code.
The Regulator ran a consultation from November 2017 to January 2018, to give people the opportunity to provide feedback on the regulator's plans. It gathered opinions from the payments industry, consumer groups and individuals to make sure the PSR could understand how best to protect people from APP scams.
The Changes
Once the industry code is in place, it will be publicly consulted on, for refinement in early 2019 and the regulator expects that it will continue to evolve to ensure preventative measures are kept up to date.
The PSR is also bringing consumer and industry representatives together to establish a dedicated steering group. Led by an independent chair appointed by the PSR, the group will ensure the contingent reimbursement model is designed in the best way to minimise the number of scams in the future and protect victims of scams.
Paul Smith, Head of Policy at the PSR, said:
"This is about making a positive difference for people to protect them from APP scams – where people are tricked into sending money to a fraudster. The banks have already made some changes but, from September 2018, this industry code will see better protections available to everyone. We expect the code to evolve over time to make sure methods of preventing APP scams are up to date."

What information are virtual visitors looking for on museum Web sites? This paper is a first step in a larger investigation into the informational value of museum Web sites. Scholars, teachers, students, museums staff, and museum visitors are the main categories of visitors examined in this study. Questions were asked of these museum audiences about their use of museum Web sites, museum databases, and other aspects of virtual visits.

Museum Visitation
How Are Museum Web Sites Used?
In 1999, the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at the University of North Texas started a new program in Digital Image Management. The University of North Texas and the African American Museum (AAM) in Dallas are collaborative partners in a program designed to produce expert managers of digital images and information (Hastings, 2000). Designing the database for the Sepia photographic collection and creating a Web site for the museum were the major parts of the project during the first year of collaboration. While designing the Sepia photographic collection database, fellows of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) sponsored project had difficulties with determination, selection, and creation of metadata for later use by the museum's virtual visitors. There were arguments over the quality and quantity of information that AAM Web site should provide for virtual visitors. It was decided that additional research about virtual museum visitors' needs should be done. Currently, there are no studies on virtual museum visitors and their needs, especially uses of the images in the museums' collections available on the Web.
Some of the basic questions to frame this study follow: what kind of information are Web users looking for? What quality and quantity of images would they like to see on a page? What are their purposes for using images from the museum's collections? Is the information adequate?
This research is the first step of a deeper investigation of informational value of the Web sites of museums. A combination of the Delphi method and survey research is used to investigate the virtual museum visitors' needs. The goal of the first part of the project is to gather general data on informational and educational needs of a variety of virtual museum users.
The survey is a Web-based interactive questionnaire distributed on the Internet. The survey gathers a variety of information about available technology used for educational, recreational, and information retrieval purposes. The questionnaire Web site is hosted on the server in the Digital Imaging lab at UNT.
Electronic messages were sent though different museum listservs to identify how museums distribute information about their collections and about educational programs. Two local high schools, Denton High School and Ryan High School, granted their permission to ask teachers of history, art, social studies, and humanities about their usage of museums Web sites. The schools also sent e-mail requests to students who have e-mail addresses to answer the aforementioned survey. The e-mail message was also sent to the Art users listserv of School of Visual Arts at the University of North Texas, SLIS listserv. Request cards were distributed at the conferences such as that of the American Society of Information Science and Technology in Washington, D.C.
Literature Review
This paper is an interim report about informational needs of museum Web sites visitors. The analysis of data is based on a portion of the whole survey.
It is hard to define why the museum guests physically visit museums and virtually go to the museum Web sites. Some people go to museums to enjoy temporary exhibits and permanent collections, while others go to meet people and museum staff. Artists go to draw inspiration for future creative works. Some go to do special projects and assignments. The difference with virtual visits is that the actual visit is not a physical one; they live far from art centers and museums, sometimes even across oceans. Virtual museum visitors expect to get needed information about museums collections. They assume that the museums they visit online will offer digital image collections full of paintings, artworks, historic illustrated manuscripts, photographs, drawings, and museum objects - images of items that are not normally accessible.
Few museum administrators are able to predict what visitors expect from museums and their Web sites. An analysis of a survey for teacher's packets created and distributed by the Dallas Museum of Art indicated that museum visitors did not make use of the museum's Web site. What information do they look for? How does museum content fit into school curriculum and learning standards?
Years of formal education at high schools, colleges and universities are not the only years during which people educate themselves: most learn outside of formal schools. Entertainment and leisure opportunities are rich sources for self-education. "Despite years of public educational efforts, the important role museums ... play in helping the public learn has never been fully understood nor appreciated" [1]. Visiting a museum's Web site is another way of free learning in the area of art appreciation.
Museum digital images can be used for animation, reconstructions, and in other innovative ways to visualize static materials. A great example is one of the CD-ROM serial "Digital Masterpieces", produced in Germany, which shows a video file about Leonardo Da Vinci's life and art works (at http://www.odranoel.de/indexeng.htm).
The Cost of Digital Image Distribution research completed by Howard Besser and Robert Yamashita at the University of California, Berkeley, showed that art images could be used for both creative and pedagogical purposes. This research (at http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Imaging/Databases/1998mellon/) was oriented towards art historians and researchers. Little consideration is given to students' needs for digital images and contextual information, as well as the needs of museum visitors. "Remote access to study images is likely to be a tremendous advantage. Students lack extensive private collections of books and the extended library loan privileges that are afforded to faculty, and [students] may not even have access to the slide library" [2]. Multimedia devices such as motion, interaction and a mixture of media are "very effective in keeping the classroom focused and attentive" (Stebley, 1998).
Today, museums and their Web sites are considered as multidisciplinary educational centers that provide information for a variety of cross-curriculum requirements. Most museums, DMA in particular, are ready to prepare essential educational packets for art history classes.
Museum collection databases often do not provide profound intellectual information for the users. "Contextless digital bits" travel all over the world changing the way the original artwork is interpreted. Digital presentation of image information serves different purposes such as to provide educational materials for educators and students, or to construct research across diverse fields. These digital images - in the absence of a context - can be used to write essays during composition classes or to do research in art history. Collaborative opportunities between museums and students can be united in research toward the discovery of new knowledge and information about a specific image. Some museums provide space on museums Web sites for students to upload essays and research papers that can be read by any visitor.
A gamut of the museum images found on Web sites can be useful for learning and teaching social studies, history, foreign languages, and other subjects. If pedagogues are dedicated to their profession, as Mather (2000) suggested, they should "share facts about the historical significance of a selected cultural celebration", and they could develop the curriculum that stimulates students to learn and to be active participants in gathering new knowledge about a given topic to share with friends, family, and classmates. Some teachers went further in their exploration of new constructive methods of teaching and adapting technology in the classroom by allowing children to create their own museums with the help of their teachers or museum educators. Students learn best when they become immersed in their learning and communicate knowledge (Mather, 2000; Passe and Whitley, 1998).
For the purposes of this paper, selected questions were asked to find the major reasons for visiting museum Web sites.
The first set of questions is about available software, such as "does your computer give you an opportunity to listen to audio files and watch video files"?
The second set of questions concerns frequency of virtual visitations of museum Web sites.
1. Do you visit the museum Web site before and/or after you go to the museum? Do you visit museum Web sites even if you do not physically go to the museums?
2. How often do you visit museum Web sites (everyday, once a week, once a month, once a semester, once a year)?
The third set of questions is about the information visitors are looking for on museum Web sites. What is the purpose of visits to museum Web sites?The idea to create an Internet-based survey was based on Witte, Amoroso, and Howard (2000), as well as the National Geographic Society Web site (at http://survey2000.nationalgeographic.com). Such surveys can reach a broader audience and collect a diversity of data. Active Server Pages technology was used to conduct research using the Internet survey.
a) to find information about recent exhibits?
b) to find information about special events in the museum?
c) to search museum collections?
d) to find additional materials for the research needs?
e) to find information how to contact museum staff?
f) to find directions to museums?
g) to buy exhibits tickets online?
h) to buy gifts from museums gifts shop?
i) to find an appropriate image?
The survey consists of five main sections designed to collect data from teachers, students, museum educators, museum visitors, and scholars, and to store their answers in the database for further analysis.
There were 149 responses, with 124 being valid for analysis. There were responses from 14 scholars, 21 teachers, 34 students, 35 visitors, and 20 members of museum staff.
Software Questions
Do you have the opportunity to listen to audio files and watch video files?
The answer to this question gives us an idea about the availability and usage of multimedia software. Information about museum collections presented by audio and video files helps create a sense of reality. If virtual visitors can listen to voices of famous artists and can see them in their work, they probably will remember their experience for a longer period of time.
We know that multimedia enhances the learning experience and accommodates more learning styles; "each visitor learns in a different way, and interprets information through the lens of previous knowledge, experience, and beliefs" [3]. In addition, this information provides some measure of the technical sophistication of visitors to museum Web sites.
Figure 1: Opportunity to listen to audio files.
The overall percentage of people who do not have the opportunity to listen to audio files is very low (Figure 1); the large number of museum staff who do not listen to audio files may be explained by a sheer unawareness of free audio software that can be downloaded from the Internet. It may also be explained as a sign of a lack of technological education, limited funds for computerization in museums, and late integration of technology.
The overall percentages, 80% for video and 60% for audio, are relatively close to the results (70% of most often used office software applications) in a recent IMLS technology and digitization survey. An interim analysis of the survey data was presented at the Museum Computer Network meeting in November 2001.
Figure 2: Opportunity to watch video files.
Overall, a high percentage of users are able to use audio and video files.
Museum Visitation
Do you visit a museum Web site before and/or after you go to the museum? Do you visit a museum's Web site even if you do not physically go to the museum?
Falk and Dierking (2000) acknowledged that people go to museums armed with their personal agenda. They stated that the visitor's personal context is perhaps the single greatest influence on their experience. It is important for museum professionals to understand the significance of the agendas of visitors, and to recognize that they can be manipulated by the museum. Indeed, manipulation is fundamental to the museum's ability to create a successful museum experience. Do visits to a museum Web site help create this agenda?
Figure 3: Visits to museum Web sites.
Most people (57%) visit museum Web sites before and after they physically visit the museum (Figure 3). Further research will be needed to understand exactly what information teachers (48%), students (53%), visitors (60%), and museum staff (57%) need before they go to a specific museum, as well as why they visit museum Web sites after they physically visit the museum. Scholars (58%) and teachers (48%) present the highest percentage of virtual visits, even if they do not physically go to the museum. It may be explained that these two audiences visit museum Web sites for research purposes.
How often do you visit museum Web sites?
The total number of people who visit museum Web sites everyday is 5% (Figure 4); this population consists of students, visitors, and museum staff. Most respondents visit museums Web sites once a month (29%) or once a semester (31%). Further analysis is needed to examine the specific needs of each of these audiences.
Figure 4: Frequency of museum Web site visits.
How Are Museum Web Sites Used?
To search a museum collection
Visitors search museum collections for different reasons. One benefit of online searching is access to digital databases in order to be able to view remote artworks which cannot be physically accessible. New images can be created, and existing images can be juxtaposed with other images for a variety of purposes. Most research has been done evaluating the needs of art historians and art studio instructors, but has not examined the needs of teachers, students, and visitors. Many Web sites of museums merely contain marketing information. They tell the world about opening hours but rarely provide full access to collection databases, and even less frequently provide descriptive information about objects. Most museum collections are in storage, and many works are on loan to other institutions. Perhaps one definition of a "good" museum Web site is one that combines well-produced general interest information with full access to the whole collection. This survey found that 63% percent (Figure 5) of virtual visitors look forward to searching museum collections.
One of the survey respondents wrote"... part of my job is to classify images in our digital database by their iconography. I use museum Web sites to look up information on the images that I classify - to find out who they portray, if a landscape or architecture is real or imagined, if the scene is historical, etc. ... The museum Web sites most useful for this purpose are those that tell me the story of why an artwork was made, and what the symbols in it mean, if there are any."
Historical periods, places, and people are poorly represented in many art museum collections (Miller, 1998; Passe and Whitley, 1998). Historical periods, artworks, natural resources and cultural values all become clear for museum visitors when they are presented in a series of well-organized exhibits. Virtual visitors need a context in order to understand a given art work, and this information is a priority for museum users.
Figure 5: Collection search.
To find information on special events in the museum
Special events in the museum include lectures on recent exhibits, workshops, gallery talks, sketching lessons, and so on. Figure 6 shows that 60% of virtual visitors are interested in special events in the museum. If we combine two answers - "yes" and "sometimes" - 87% of visitors need information about special events. Virtual visitors are looking for these events to spend their leisure time in a pleasant environment, to learn something, and perhaps to meet museum staff or artists.
Figure 6: Special events in museums.
To find information about recent exhibits
Recent exhibits, permanent or traveling, arouse the highest interests in visitors, museum staff, students, and teachers (Figure 7). Respondents (68%) are looking for information on these exhibits. Further research on this question needs to examine exhibit needs: do virtual visitors need general information on the exhibit (duration, time, location, tickets prices), or are they looking for detailed information about the exhibit (what works of art are presented, how these works of art are presented, what additional information about works of art presented on the exhibit can be found on the Web, who is the creator of this exhibit)? In any case, it seems that visitors who physically visit the museum use the Web site for additional information.
Figure 7: Information about recent exhibits.
To do research
It is obvious from Figure 8 that teachers (62%) and museum staff (60%) examine museum Web sites for their research as well as look for additional information. Forty-eight percent of all responses indicated that museum Web sites are research sources.
Figure 8: Research interests.
To find an appropriate image
Images can be used for personal, educational, and commercial purposes. Forty-nine percent of respondents indicated that they are searching for images on the museum Web sites (Figure 9). The relatively high percentage of teachers (67%) points to the use of museum images for educational purposes. Further research should uncover the uses of images by other segments of the museum audience.
Figure 9: To find an appropriate image.
To buy tickets and gifts
The use of the museum Web site as a conduit for ticket and gift purchases was relatively low. Overall, few museums provide e-commerce services to their customers.
Figure 10: Buying tickets online.
Based on Chadwick (1999), visitors usually see Web sites as a vehicle to secure lower prices for tickets and gifts.
Figure 11: Buying gifts online.
To find directions
Museum visitors need a guide to the museum itself, to exhibits, and to facilities. Most museums provide general information about their location on their Web sites, as well as printed handouts at the information desk in the museum. Virtual visitors may expect to see three-dimensional guides and maps or text providing details on moving from one exhibit space to another."Others want to know where their favorite art objects are located in the museum. Such information is available using touch-screens at the museum building (National Gallery in Washington, DC), but not on the Web" [4].
Figure 12 indicates that 56% of virtual visitors are looking for directions to the museum building.
Figure 12: Museum directions.
To find contact information
The average virtual visitor to a museum does not need a specific contact on the staff of the museum, thanks to plenty of general information about exhibits, working hours, and directions already on the Web (Figure 13). Scholars (50%) and teachers (62%), with a higher percentage of research needs, are in greater need of contact information.
Figure 13: Contact information.
This report describes the kinds of information that users seek on museum Web sites. The majority (68%) looks for information about recent exhibits (Figure 14). Further research is needed to identify what kinds of specific information is required by virtual visitors about recent exhibits.
Virtual visitors (63%) particularly value a capability to browse collection databases, to locate supplementary descriptive information. There is a need for contextual information, vivid descriptive narratives, and theory drawn from narratives.
The information collected in this survey can support database design, metadata creation, and retrieval options. Subsequent research will examine the search strategies used by the different categories of museum Web site users.
Figure 14: Information needs.
Information needs over special events in the museum (60%) take third place in the ranking of information needs. Further research will investigate the kinds of details needed about special events. It is still essential for visitors to find directions to the museum when they plan to visit during weekends or vacations. Additional research of information needs and needs for images share the fourth ranking place; teachers (52%) and scholars (50%) make this category significant. These two categories need further examination. Buying tickets and gifts online rank last in information needs.
From this exploratory study we know that visitors of museum Web sites come with a variety of information needs. Our next step will be to provide further details on these needs and how they can be answered via the Web.

Kieran Foran out of Warriors clash with Canberra
Kieran Foran has failed a fitness test ahead of the Warriors' clash with the Raiders on Sunday.
MORE: Brad Arthur may regret writing that get out of work letter | Bennett's Broncos warning
Foran has an ongoing shoulder injury and couldn't pass a fitness test at the side's captain's run on Saturday.
Foran is expected to be fit for next weekend's game against the Rabbitohs.
It's another blow for the Kiwi side, with halfback Shaun Johnson already out for the season. Ata Hingano will replace Foran, lining up alongside Mason Lino in the halves.
While it's bad news for the Warriors, who are no chance of making the finals this year, it should send alarm bells ringing at the Bulldogs.
Foran has signed for Des Hasler's side next year, and alongside Aaron Woods will be charged with turning the Dogs around.
But his 2017 season has been plagued by injury and ill-form. Foran was suspended for the start of this season, but has been dogged by various ongoing ailments.
His time at the Warriors won't be considered a success, with the team posting another baffling season of sub-standard performances.
But with his track record off the field and an inability to get fully fit on it, if Bulldogs are hoping Foran to be the answer to their problems, they might be in for a rude awakening.

Hello! I'm really new to 3D modeling but not art and mpvr blows my mind with how easily I can create amazing things.
My favourite thing to sculpt is the human body but I'm stuck on one thing I can't figure out. I see so many artists creations with very fine details including human faces but no matter what tools I use and how tiny I make them I can't draw facial features.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I could really use some tips or instruction. Even a YouTube video with someone drawing a face in mpvr would help a ton.
Actually, the winner of the holidays contest uploaded a video of the entire process (sped up). There is an excellent example of figurative sculpture here, thanks to Scout Windsor: Earth Day 2078 - MasterpieceVR Timelapse (Starting time for human figure)
I think it will help me, though I've yet to try many of the processes used.
Thanks for reaching out!
There are some limitations to fine details because the resolution can only be pushed so far but there are some ways around this and some tips to make your sculpture look great.
A great place for tips and tricks is our VR Creative's community on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/688854884643543/
A lot of the artists there post videos showing how they work and can give tips on how to maximize details.
We also have a very exciting update coming soon which will add layers and higher resolution. With layers you will be able to get really high details because you can sculpt a hand with a lot of detail in one layer and then scale it down and sculpt the arm on a different layer. This freedom will mean that you can choose where you want to add more detail and organize your sculpture in a way that is most useful to your creation.
Hope this helps!
Thank you so much! I've been looking for a video like this but can't seem to find much.

See the Agent Requirements page for all the details on what agents need to do to make sure they get their badge and AP.
Some events like to have a souvenir mission to go along with their IngressFS events. Having a mission with your event is entirely optional.
If you do decide to have a mission at your FS event, we recommend submitting it as far in advance as possible and no less than a week before the event to make sure there are no issues and it will be live for your event. The mission must have the #IngressFS hashtag in the title to be fast-tracked in the week before the event. FS Missions are not guarantees to be approved: your mission can still be rejected if it does not follow all standard mission requirements. First Saturday missions are recommended to have 1 mission per site, and are limited to a strict maximum of 6 missions per site so that we do not overload the fast track team. Overuse of fast tracking may result in some events missing out or it no longer being available at all. Please retire your First Saturday missions after the event, in order to avoid cluttering the local mission list.
Event Registration
When you first submit your event, you'll get an email with a link to edit the details and a link to your Fev Games Event Page. The form will stop accepting new registrations 14 days before FS (see above for deadline) and will be locked down for edits 7 days before the FS event.

If one had to choose a characteristic of Italian art that sets the 15th century apart from previous periods, it could only be perspective. The depiction of three-dimensional forms on a two-dimensional surface as theorized by Brunelleschi and mathematician Luca Pacioli was as powerful then as the advent of virtual reality is today. Perspective made it possible for artists to render a scene with dramatic realism, and to open up a surface, allowing the eye to gaze towards infinity and imagine that the wall or canvas were not there.
Perspective would be brought to the height of illusion only later, in 17th century Baroque painting, with massive architectural scenes rising vertiginously towards the heavens, as in Andrea Pozzo's fresco in the church of Sant'Ignazio, Rome. Leonardo da Vinci had already experimented with this technique in his Last Supper in Milan, in which he places the scene in a space whose perfect perspective makes it a visual extension of the room. But there is another less familiar fresco in Milan, painted by Leonardo and his assistants in about 1498, that shows that the artist was, differently to many other painters of his generation, in no way a slave to the enticing possibilities of linear perspective.
The unfamiliarity of the Sala delle Asse at the Castello Sforzesco is due to the fact that it was forgotten for four hundred years, from when the city of Milan was conquered by France – after which the fresco was covered in plaster and the hall converted into stables – until the late 19th century, when it was revealed during restoration. The work was attributed to Leonardo only in the 1930s, on the basis of documents concerning the commission from Duke Ludovico Sforza.
But it is an exceptional work. Leonardo's concept for this square-plan hall in the north tower of the castle was to paint a scene that negated the existence of the walls and ceiling, not by means of trompe l'oeil architecture, but by natural elements alone – trees and foliage. The entire ceiling is covered by an intricate pattern of branches and leaves, supported by a series of massive tree-trunks all around the walls. Sadly the painting is not in good condition. The colours are marred by the whitish saltpetre that often crystallises on the surface of frescoes, and most of the lower section has completely disappeared. Nonetheless, one can appreciate the visual effect of the work, with the blue sky filtering through the meticulously-painted greenery.
Leonardo da Vinci had to work with the existing structure of the room, which has a series of pedentives running around the base of the ceiling vault, and he invented a typically brilliant solution. Instead of painting "natural" trees, he envisaged a pattern of branches that are tied into shape by means of a series of ribbons, so that the branches follow the pattern of the arches. In this way the three-dimensionality of the scene becomes more believable.
The remarkable feature of the painting is the fact that Leonardo da Vinci has attempted to portray the view into space, towards infinity, using no elements of perspective at all, with just the contrast between the trees and foliage and the sky beyond. The painting therefore becomes an example of natural perspective. Leonardo was in fact the first person to make the distinction between "synthetic perspective", the geometrical form of perspective based on a single vanishing point, and "natural perspective", based on the complex interactions between the perceived world, with its multiple vanishing points and spherical geometry, and the human eye in perpetual movement.
The only section of the lower section of the fresco that has survived demonstrates the fact that Leonardo deliberately wished to work without linear perspective. The trees are shown as growing from a series of stratified rocks, so that the observer is placed inside a sort of depression inside a rock-lined space, which effectively eliminates the horizon.
It may also be that Leonardo intended to add the dimension of time to this spatial composition. One has the impression that the trees are growing from ancient ruins, as if the fresco anticipates the scene as it may be aeons in the future, when the castle itself has collapsed and nature has reclaimed the area. Certainly, this fresco, like all Leonardo's works, conceals an extraordinary depth of intellectual study, and it is a worthy counterpart to the Last Supper in the same city.

Very long time ago, there was a planet called 20880. Many aliens lived on that planet. They were very cute but naughty.
One day, they saw that there were a lot of trees on Planet Earth. They wanted to have a lot of trees in their planet, too. So they went to the Earth. They stole the trees on Earth. They put them in their planet.
The next day, my friend, Bella and I were going to the park. Bella said, "Why are all the trees gone?" Then I said, "Let's tell the wizard that the trees are gone."
When Bella and I were going into the wizard's room, we said, "Mr Wizard, all the trees in the park are gone!" Then the wizard said, "That's easy to fix."
"First, you have to get the space map CD from the bag. Second, insert the CD in the space ship computer. Third, you have to go to the planet called 20880 by a space ship. You may find many trees on that planet."
Later, we arrived at 20880. We saw many trees. An alien said, "Don't take away our trees." I asked, "Why? These trees were stolen from Earth!" Some of the aliens gave Bella back the trees. "Sorry!" said an alien. "We shouldn't take them away without asking you anymore."
I finally gave the aliens one tree for Christmas.
The king of 20880 was very happy that Bella and I gave the aliens one tree. So he gave a big box of toys to Bella and me. We were so happy.
At the same time, I saw a circular thing on the table. The king saw me looking at that. He said, "Do you want to have one?" "Yes, please!" said Bella and I. "What is this?" Then the king said, "With this, you can teleport to our planet directly."
"Yeah!" yelled Bella, "I like aliens!" At night, we went home. We told our parents about the aliens. And the next day we visited our alien friends on 20880.
Five years later, 20880 aliens went to Earth again. They saw the Earth look like an alien's face, so they named the Earth "20880 Alien Earth".1 / 11

Mark Burrows
Mark joined Heatherwick Studio in 2007 and quickly established himself as a core part of the team
His responsibilities rapidly grew and he has become a well-respected senior studio member. As a skilled maker he started at the studio to support the production of high end products; however it was clear that his skills, fresh approach and creative vision far outreached the scope of his initial role and he assumed his current prominent position as Head of the 'Making' domain.
At present he oversees, advises and guides the 'Making' team which is formed of uniquely talented people who respond to any request necessary in the pursuit of excellence in design and ideas.
Mark studied Fine Art Sculpture at Brighton University. After graduating with an honours degree he gained valuable experience assisting various artists in realising their projects, eventually settling into a more stable artistic fabricator role and honing his skills in fine art fabrication, particularly in metals. His discovery of the B of the Bang project inspired him to subsequently join Heatherwick Studio.
With his educational background and previous work experience Mark has developed his ability to manifest ideas and concepts transferring them into tangible objects. Working at every level and scale, and dealing with the inevitable complexities that come with every scheme, Mark and his team can solve virtually any creative problem.

|Galaxies by Peter van Laeys
Inviting readers to participate in the return to Oneness by creating bridges between earth and heaven, between peoples of all faiths and cultures, and between human beings and nature.
|Galaxies by Peter van Laeys
Hi mom,
The second picture you posted is possibly my favorite astronomical photo of the antennae galaxies, two galaxies merging together. I'm sure that isn't what I was supposed to take away from this but I thought I'd mention it because i'd like to base a painting on it.
Besides the spontaneously emerging particles, the universe is also believed to be filled with a kind of matter we have no way of seeing or detecting that scientists refer to as 'dark matter.' There would be about five times as much of this invisible material than the matter we are actually aware of.
Peter - I know you will create a beautiful painting of the galaxies. I look forward to seeing it!ReplyDelete
Hi Emily, very interesting post. Thanks for writing it and for getting me to read it.
Peter, Dark Matter is weird enough, but even more bizarre is what they call "dark energy" which comprises most of the matter/energy in the Universe, ie more dark energy in the universe than normal energy, normal matter, and dark matter combined.
masterymistery at cosmic rapture
Just posted Peter's painting for the first illustration.ReplyDelete

South Beach, Singapore
Coordinates: 1°17′42″N 103°51′22″E / 1.29500°N 103.85611°E South Beach is a commercial and residential complex located on Beach Road in the Downtown Core of Singapore. It is composed of a hotel tower managed by JW Marriott Hotels, an office tower, shops and residences. The project includes the restoration of four conservation buildings – the former Non-Commissioned Officers' Club building and part of the former Beach Road Camp.
The complex was designed by Foster + Partners and completed in 2016.
Site history[edit]
The four conservation buildings comprises three 1930s army blocks (Blocks 1, 9 and 14) and the former NCO Club built in 1952. The old concrete buildings were given conservation status in 2002 due to their rich historical and architectural significance. The Beach Road camp was the venue for the first National Service enlistment in 1967. The former NCO Club was originally designed as the headquarters of the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes in Singapore, and had a swimming pool. The army blocks are in Art Deco style known for elegant, functional features, while the club is a hybrid of that and what came in the 1950s, called Modern architecture.[1][2]
Site plans[edit]
On 27–29 September 2006, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) showcased the Beach Road site at the "Marché international des professionnels de l'immobilier" (MIPIM) Asia in Hong Kong. MIPIM Asia is the Asia-Pacific version of MIPIM, an international property exhibition held in Cannes every year.[3]
The 3.5-hectare land parcel is bounded by Beach Road, Bras Basah Road, Nicoll Highway and Middle Road, and is located next to Esplanade MRT station. URA has planned the site for a mixed-use development comprising prime office space and high-end hotel rooms. The conserved buildings on the site would enhance the uniqueness of the development. The new integrated development would offer a mixture of low-rise conservation and medium to high rise buildings for commercial and hotel uses. URA required the developers to set aside at least 40% of the space for office use, and at least 30% of the space must be for hotel rooms.[3][4][5]
Site tender[edit]
The site was launched for tender in March 2007, and was awarded through a "two-envelope" system, where the bids were first evaluated based on their concept proposals before the bid prices were made known. Proposals were assessed on their contribution to the city's skyline profile, the provision of attractive public spaces and high-quality architecture.[5][6]
When tender closed in July 2007, URA received seven submissions from major developers and firms. Five were rejected even though some of them came with higher bids; these included a joint venture between Pontiac Land Group and Morgan Stanley, CapitaLand, one of two bids from a joint venture between Keppel Land and Hong Kong's Cheung Kong Holdings, and two bids by Overseas Union Enterprise. The winning bid was the higher of two remaining tender submissions shortlisted by URA for their acceptable concept proposals.[3][4][5][6][7]
Won by a consortium led by City Developments Limited, the winning bid of S$1.689 billion worked out to about S$1,069 per square foot of potential gross floor area. Construction of the 99-year leasehold development, which was named "South Beach" and has a gross floor area of 146,827 square metres (1,580,433 square feet), started in 2012. CDL tied up with Dubai World's Istithmar Beach Road FZE and Elad Group Singapore, and tendered via Scottsdale Properties. Second-place Keppel Land and partner Cheung Kong Holdings lost out with their bid of S$1.386 billion. CDL estimated that its investment in the South Beach project would cost at least S$2.73 billion.[1][4][6][8]
The development features two new towers, 45 storeys and 42 storeys tall, which house two luxury hotels, offices and apartments. The original conserved military buildings of the old Beach Road Camp were restored for retail and hotel-related uses such as function rooms. The project has added at least 46,450 square metres (500,000 square feet) of new office space and about 700 to 800 hotel rooms.[4][5][7]
The CDL Consortium has proposed to adopt an environmental design and green technology to create a distinctive, high-quality development that fits in well with Singapore's tropical climate and urban context. Designed by British architectural firm Foster and Partners, a key feature of the winning design is a large "environmental filter" canopy that covers the open spaces, linking conservation buildings with the two high-rise towers and providing shelter from the elements and drawing air currents to cool the area beneath it. The canopy rises at some areas and lowers at others, resembling huge waves. Some parts of the canopy hover around one conservation block, another covers it, while yet another part appears to go into a block. Other parts of the canopy also appear to rise skywards, covering part of the façades of the two new towers.[1][4][7]
The two towers will have slanting façades to catch winds and direct air flow to the ground-level spaces. The building façades will also incorporate photovoltaic cells. Rainwater will be collected off the towers and the canopy to flow into a holding tank underground, instead of being wasted.[4][7]
The first storey will be laid out with a series of internal streets, with the aim of enhancing street level vibrancy and allowing pedestrians to move about easily. A pedestrian "green axis" arises upwards from the basement MRT station exit through multi-tiered gardens. The block layout features alleyways reminiscent of the nearby Seah Street area. It will also feature sunken courtyards, tiered gardens lined with shops, and food and beverage outlets.[4][5][7]

Xavi Baeli
Best Wedding Photographers in Spain
Hi, my name is Xavi, I live in Spain halfway between Alicante and Mallorca. I love tell love stories all over the world.
It was during my early childhood days that I discovered photography as a means which has the capacity to reflect a hidden part of reality that I not always was able to see. Having a camera between my eye and the rest of the world made me feel who I really was more than anything else did. Such a feeling made me feel lost and confused in the beginning; nonetheless, a fascination started to grow inside of me.
Over time I started photographing people and discovered the importance of documenting people's lives. For me our memories are our legacy. I always feel emotionally connected with every couple who I work with. I feel the nerves, the euphoria, the joy, the sadness... Everything that appears on this special day. I take care of those emotions with great respect and I feel privileged to be able to contribute my point of view of this big story.
Give each couple a timeless memory is my motivation.

Owner Testimonials
Hear From Our Franchise Owners
Successful franchise business models are easy to spot—they're the businesses that are thriving. We don't mean just monetarily either – although that is obviously part of the model. Thriving businesses also make an impact in their community, provide personal fulfillment to their owners and employees, and offer more than just another day at work.
When it comes to these markers of success, Discovery Point Child Development Centers are the full package. However, don't just take our word for it. Below we've gathered the testimonials we've received over the years from some of our franchisees and owners, all of whom found more than just financial success in our child care franchise model.
See what our owners had to say below:
I am so thankful to be a Discovery point Owner. I enjoyed my 23 years in the Hotel business prior to owning my Center, but I find it so much more rewarding to now own a Discovery Point. It is the best decision I have ever made.
Mike, Discovery Point Seven Oaks
I truly enjoy operating and owning a Discovery Point Center. The training I received before I opened was very thorough and hands on. I have learned and have grown the last three and a half years of owning my business.I have felt full support from the Corporate office any time that I was in need of advice and assistance in handling different situations.
The hugs, kisses and excitement that children display brings me true joy. I also feel satisfaction as I am providing them a safe, fun and educational center to be in while mom and dad are at work.
Yvette, Discovery Point Roswell
My days are spent encouraging children's love of learning. It doesn't get any better than that!
Robbin, Discovery Point Jones Bridge

I can feel it. I can smell it and I can even start to see it. FALL. O man, who's excited? This girl!
Last night I ate my first piece of pumpkin food. I had forgotten how good it tasted. That mix of sweet and rich deliciousness with cream cheese frosting and a dash on cinnamon on top. Yikes. It was scary how many of those cupcakes I could have eaten if there were more than one.
The leaves are starting to change here too. Our little park across the street is slowly turning from the lush green overgrowth, the the muted colors of red and yellow. I genuinely love Fall. Can't get enough of it.
Growing up and living in Colorado, we didn't really experience Fall, it was more like Pre-Winter. The leaves would change and fall off the trees in the same week and you didn't get that crisp feeling in the air that lasted weeks. No, it was more like a week of fall and then the first dumping of snow. While we have lived here on the East Coast, I have becoming a Fall lover. So to celebrate the coming season, here is my wish list!
1. Blue Apron – If you haven't heard of these amazing people before , you need to check them out. They are taking the country by storm. Perfect for any busy family wanting to eat healthy and natural while trying new recipes. Blue Apron delivers fresh ingredients and recipes for meals during the week. You can have them deliver every week or just the weeks you need a little extra help. It's cheaper than eating out plus you don't have to do the grocery shopping yourself. Andy and I are jazzed about trying them out. We will let you know more about it after we do!
2. Olive Box – For the paper lover in us all. Since starting my own paper design company, Emilie Marian Designs, I have fallen in love with all things paper again and again. Olive Box is a monthly subscription service that brings joy to you in the form of stationery, books, stickers and more. May Snail Mail never die!
3. Aztec Pillow – There is something so fun about these tribal prints. The colors in this pillow are perfect for Fall and makes me want to grab my favorite book, curl up on the couch and read all afternoon long.
4. Coquette Dress – I have talked about my love for Fleet Collection Dresses before, but this dress in this mustard color is what dreams, puppies, and candy are made of. Love!
5. The Civil Wars New Vinyl Album – Perfect for those rainy days or great music for while I am working. Their harmonies and haunting lyrics is what Fall should sound like.
6. Coral Herschel Back-Pack – I don't know if it's the sweet color or the fact that it's a back-pack and I just love school time, but this bag is speaking some pretty strong sweet nothings in my ears.
7. Joules Ribboned Wellies – O mercy, If there were a pair of boots that were meant for rain puddles, it would be these! Ever since living in Ireland my senior year of College, I have had a love affair with rain boots, or wellies as they are called over there. The problem is, I just can't find ones that measure up to these ladies. So this year, I hope to own some of my own. The rain in DC demands it!
8. The Cuckoo's Calling – I love to read. You can see more of my favorite books here, and I do love J.K. Rowling so when I heard she wrote another book this time covered with a Pseudonym, it moved to the top of my list. There is nothing like a good mystery.
What is on your Fall Wish List?
Love and Hope, Em

The search for the descendants of ancient Israel continues with the look at the blessings God promises the patriarchs. Charles Whitaker examines the blessings granted to Jacob's sons as well as Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh.
The twin sons of Isaac, Esau and Jacob, are a classic model of sibling rivalry, and their contentious relationship has had a tremendous impact on history.
Reflecting on the almost universal problem of sibling rivalry, Richard Ritenbaugh focuses upon the bitter conflict that began over 3,500 years ago in the womb of Rebekah—the enmity between the descendants of Esau and Jacob. From Esau's warped perspec. . .
Some scriptures seem to teach total abstinence from alcohol. However, many other passages show otherwise. Here is how the unbroken word of God fits together.
Laying on of hands may seem strange to the non-Christian. However, it is one of the church's fundamental doctrines, found in baptism, healing and ordination.
John Ritenbaugh shows that God has set a pattern of separating people from the world, making a covenant with them, and enabling them to be a blessing to others as an example of faithfulness and obedience to the covenant. Because of Israel's unfaithfulness . . .

Cell Phones
I've to confess that I am not smart telephone fan, and by no means thought that smart telephones will add any benefit to my day by day life. Most slate kind good phones deal with leisure. Topping this, are the other features of smartphones that offers access to immediate messaging sites similar to Yahoo messenger or MSN. Before, there have been only cellphones and personal digital assistants, otherwise often called PDA's.
If Android is your OS choice, you can contemplate the newest Google Pixel 2 XL, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S8 and options are truly fantastic with you. A mix cellphone and handheld computer that created the best tech revolution for the reason that Web.
I've reviewed greater than 100 smartphones during the last decade (maybe even hundreds), and there are a couple of options in each cellphone that weigh extra in the case of whether or not or not it receives a good review or not. Now let's strikes in the direction of a very powerful purposeful aspect of smartphones.
2. The one time we flip our telephones off is on an airplane. Even in church, many are too busy drooling over their smartphones to listen to what the great Lord is trying to inform them. Canvio for Smartphone is a good, smooth and convenient answer for simultaneously uploading and backing up your most essential information.
Merchant response:I am sorry to be taught that the Bedside Smartphone Vase did not have as highly effective an impact as you had anticipated. Android and Apple have more flexibility and selection with the apps available on their app markets. I discovered wonderful telephones at for these with podgier digits, I had less success at Amazon's US website (maybe you People have daintier palms?).
