What to do about bad iPhone 3GS reception
Q:I purchased a new iPhone 3GS three weeks ago and didn't have any trouble making clear calls at my office, a few blocks from the AT&T store. I was very happy until I got home in North Berkeley, where there is almost no signal at all. I spoke to an AT&T rep who said, "Yes, indeed, you live in a moderate signal area - sorry, nothing I can do, goodbye."
He actually told me to use the phone outdoors only! Anyway, I'm considering getting a "signal booster" for the iPhone to improve the signal in dead zones. Can you tell me if these things actually work? They're pricey, at $200 to $300.
A: Users report that signal boosters work, but not as well as advertised. That's missing the point, however. Why should you have to buy a special device to make the phone work? I'd return the phone and go shopping at another carrier that has good coverage where you live. All the big carriers disclose coverage areas on their Web sites.
And for an unbiased opinion, go to cellreception.com. Also, check with your neighbors to learn which carriers they have, and how they like their service.
The downside of switching carriers is you won't be able to get an iPhone, which is exclusive (for now) at AT&T Mobility. But let's face it, no phone is worth much if you can't talk on it.
Q:I have Windows Vista, which I am not too crazy about. I would like to replace it with Windows XP. How easy is that, and how much would it cost?
A: Switching to an older version of the operating system involves a number of steps: A. back up all your data; B. reformat your hard drive (which erases everything on it); C. Install a full copy of Windows XP ($150 from an online store); and D. reinstall your programs and reload your data.
Here's a better idea: Hold off until Oct. 22, when Microsoft will release Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista. Early reports suggest Windows 7 is faster and simpler than Vista (that wouldn't be hard). The upgrade version of Windows 7 will cost $119.99. And FYI, big computer-makers are offering a free upgrade to Windows 7 if you buy a Windows Vista computer before the October release.
Meanwhile, Microsoft, which is eager to put Vista in the rearview mirror, is letting consumers try Windows 7 for free. The Release Candidate (prerelease version) can be downloaded until Aug. 20 from microsoft.com (search for Windows 7), and can be used until early next year.
Microsoft warns that "using Windows 7 Release Candidate comes with risks: your PC could crash, you could lose data, and there's no technical support." Early reviews have praised Windows 7's stability, but Microsoft is playing it safe, asking people not to install the system on a primary home computer.
Q:When I purchase an event ticket online, is there a way to print it out without the unnecessary ads, which only waste expensive ink?
A: Most online tickets are delivered as pdf files. Assuming that you open and print the file using Acrobat Reader, there's no easy way to hide graphics when you print.
You probably can print in black-and-white or grayscale (essentially the same), which would save a little. But you don't really want to mess with the format of the ticket - especially the bar code, which is what they scan at the entrance gate.
Q:Shutting down Windows XP requires three mouse clicks starting with the Start button. Is there a way to reduce the number of steps short of yanking the power cord from the wall?
A: You should be able to shut down safely simply by pressing your computer's Power button. That option should be enabled by default. If it isn't, do this: Right-click an empty area of the Windows desktop and choose Properties. Tab over to Screen Saver and click Power. Then tab to Advanced and choose "Shut down" as the function for the Power button. Then click OK.
In a pinch you can turn off any computer by holding the Power button down continuously for a few seconds. However, you could lose data if you do that when files are open or programs are running.

Palm has always focused on the communication needs of business people. This is reflected in their Treo series of mobile smartphones, which have been widely praised for their email and messaging functions. The Palm Treo Pro may have a stylish design that resembles an Apple iPhone, but it competes with the RIM Blackberry and other smartphones for the business market. It has a large keyboard and touch-sensitive screen that makes it ideal for reading, writing, and organizing emails and text messages.
Palm have a long history of designing mobile smartphones and personal digital assistants for business people. The company was established in 1992, just as the first handheld computers were starting to appear. The Palm brand soon became famous with the huge success of the first Palm Pilot. The first model in the Treo series followed soon after, and there have been several models released in the years since then. The latest model is the Palm Treo Pro, which breaks with tradition by having a more stylish design than previous models.
The Palm Treo Pro is being hailed by critics for its sleek appearance. On initial inspection, its rounded corners and glossy black finish make it resemble an Apple iPhone. The lack of a bezel around the touch-sensitive screen improves the appearance but also makes it easier to operate. Of course, the presence of a small keyboard on the front makes the Palm Treo Pro look somewhat less stylish than the Apple iPhone, but that is a small price to pay for not having to type using a virtual keyboard on the screen.
In another break with tradition, Palm has gone with a straight keyboard for the Palm Treo Pro, instead of their familiar curved keyboard. The keys are small and almost flush with the surface, which would be a problem if they did not have a tactile rubber surface. The 2.5″ LCD screen has a resolution of 320 by 320 pixels, which is adequate for reading and writing messages. Along the sides of the Palm Treo Pro are several buttons that are used to change the volume and activate the Wi-Fi. There is also a mute button that will be appreciated by anyone who has been embarrassed by a ringing phone during a meeting.
The Palm Treo Pro is available as a GSM or CDMA model, and both models come with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Wi-Fi allows access to an ever expanding range of internet services, provided that the device is within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot. With Bluetooth wireless headphones, the user can experience the freedom of not being tied to the device with a cable. Of course, there is a also 3.5mm jack on the base for a pair of wired earphones. Charging and syncing the Palm Treo Pro is done by connecting it to a computer through the microUSB port on the base.
Powering the Palm Treo Pro is a 400MHz processor, supported by 256MB of RAM memory. This is more than enough to run Windows Mobile, since it has none of the flashy animations that tend to slow down other phones. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts for nearly sixty hours, which is average for a device of this size. The two-megapixel camera is good enough for taking pictures, but the resolution of the video capture is less than impressive. The integrated GPS is a great feature because it allows the Palm Treo Pro to be used as a basic satellite navigation device.
Like the last few models in the Treo series, the Palm Treo Pro uses Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. Starting with the latest 6.1 version, Palm added a few tweaks of their own to make the interface cleaner and easier to use. It still looks like a Windows desktop rather than a mobile smartphone interface, but many business users prefer it that way. All the classic applications one would expect are included, such as the mobile versions of Office, Excel, and Outlook. Media Player is also included for playing music, podcasts, and video clips.

Published: 5th September 2013
The Christian Medical Fellowship has said that the failure of the Crown Prosecution Service to take action in recent cases of sex selection abortions and pre-signing of abortion forms raises serious questions about its role in upholding the law.
The CPS has this week opted to take no further action in regard to two named doctors who sought to authorise abortions on grounds of sex selection last year. In a letter to Christian Medical Fellowship the Metropolitan Police have said that, although there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction, the CPS say it is not in the public interest to prosecute.
With regard to doctors at 14 NHS Trusts who pre-signed abortion forms authorising abortions for women they had not actually seen, the CPS has also opted not to act on grounds that 'the practice of pre-signing has clearly evolved over a number of years', is 'clearly widespread' and may well be due to 'clinical pressures' or 'good intention'.
Dr Peter Saunders, CEO of CMF commented, 'Authorising abortions purely on grounds of sex selection and pre-signing abortion authorisation forms are both flagrant breaches of the provisions of the Abortion Act.'
'The unwillingness of the CPS to act in these cases after an investigation spanning 18 months is quite extraordinary. It sends a strong signal that sex selection abortions are now effectively legal in Britain, rubber stamps the practice of pre-signing and gives a green light to doctors to interpret the abortion law as they see fit in the knowledge that the authorities will turn a blind eye.'
'Knowingly and wilfully making false statements on statutory documents – which is what abortion authorisation forms are – is actually a form of perjury. But we seem to have reached a point where, at the whim of the CPS, clear statutory procedures can be disregarded by doctors and NHS Trusts without any fear of legal repercussions.'
'This puts doctors above the law and raises serious questions about the role of the CPS in upholding the will of parliament.'
'The matter calls for urgent investigation and the public deserves a full explanation as to why acts in blatant breach of the law are being tolerated by the CPS in this way. We are seeking legal advice over the matter.'

Principal's Note
Hello Everyone
We have a jam-packed newsletter for you with student photos throughout. These photos are from the France study tour during the Term break. It was a wonderful trip and I was proud to see the Year 8, 9 and 10 students involved make the most of the experiences on offer.
After a fantastic finish to their school education (including a wonderful Valedictory Dinner with family and friends), our Year 12s are now well into their second week of exams, which are taking place in the Science and Language Centre. As they entered their first exam last week (English), it was hard to believe that this would be the last time that they assembled as a 'whole' group at school. We look forward to their official farewell at Presentation Night on 22 November at St Kilda Town Hall. Whether your child is an award recipient or part of the performance program or not, it would be wonderful to have you come along with your child and celebrate the successes of the year.
While the building work continues to accelerate in what feels like continually diminishing grounds (at the moment), our students have been fantastic – without complaint. We are now slightly behind in the construction schedule. The estimated new building 'handover' date is 12 December 2017. It looks fantastic from the outside and 'absolutely' fantastic from the inside! So the wait will be well worth it.
Refurbishment has now commenced on the second floor of the Glenhuntly Road building. The estimated completion date for the second floor is the first day of the new school year. Refurbishment on the first floor and in the admin area will commence in December with an estimated completion by the end of February 2018.
The last of our 'old' buildings will be demolished in March 2018.
With increasing numbers, a new modular three-storey building will also be in place by March 2018 and in December this year we are expecting the arrival of two brand new, air-conditioned portables to provide additional teaching and learning spaces.
Our Environment Committee is now working on our grounds master plan, which will provide direction for all work over the next few years. Students have provided feedback as to what they would like to have access to during their recess and lunchtime breaks.
Please set aside a little bit of time on Sunday 26 November (between 1pm and 4pm) to help celebrate our 60th birthday.
Warm Regards
Rhonda Holt

City2 Sea Volunteers
Two young mop haired men set up on the stage. One sits down behind a drum set, a magic wand in each hand. The other filthy lay-about is visibly nervous, with his hair hanging in his face. Though there is fear, there is bravery in him as he hangs his guitar around his neck. The stage lights turn on, and they are introduced to a screaming crowd. They are both in a daze as they stare down at the wave of people before them. A few words muttered by the singer before he starts playing. Slowly the drummer begins to drum roll louder and louder building the snare to a roar; it sounds as if the room is about to collapse. All of a sudden it all comes together, becoming a unit, an eclipsing epitome of rock 'n' roll. They are Bang Wombat.
Farewell Year 12
Year 12 Celebration Day was a fantastic event, starting with a BBQ breakfast and ending with a Valedictory dinner. As these photos show, both students and staff embraced the opportunity to dress up on the final day.
Congratulations to Class Valedictorians Jingyun (Ainy) Wu and Liza Clerehan.
Here is Jingyun's speech:
I'm so proud to be here with Liza as a Valedictorian. Maybe I should start with a big thank to everyone in Year 12. Thanks for believing in me to represent the whole year level, and for your friendship and support these last three years.
I still can remember when I first walked into Elwood College in 2014. I thought, "Nice, cool, this looks like a park". I remember at that time, the Year 9s still had their own building next to the G block and the library was still standing in front of the Science and Language Centre.
We have all had an amazing time in Elwood College. A lot of funny things have happened throughout the whole year. I will always remember Mr Alexander's message to 'chip, chip away' to keep us motivated. Sometimes teachers say wise things and sometimes they don't. For example in my physics class. As I said in my introduction, my name is Jingyun, and Mr Barr just couldn't pronounce my name, so he ended up calling me 'chicken wing'. I mean, I like eating chicken wings, but I might not choose to keep this nickname.
Joking aside, we need to say thank you to all the teachers and peers that we met throughout our lives in Elwood, especially to Ms Hutton and Mr Alexander for their work keeping us on track in Year 12. As an international student, we want to say thank you to Ms Stella and Mr Spring, thank you for looking after us for both our life and study. And I personally want to say thank you to Ms Tran, Mrs McDonald, Ms Pritchard, and Mr Barr. Thanks for helping us through our course work and giving our class many tips for university life. We are so glad we met lots of good people here. Now, I want to represent the whole Year 12, to say thank you to every parent, teacher and peer who has helped us become better! Thank you!
Our Young Victorian of the Year
Year 11 student Georgie Stone has produced yet another 'Wow!' moment, being named Victorian Young Australian of the Year for her role as a "brave and visible advocate for trans and gender diverse youth in Australia". This means Georgie is the Victorian nominee for Young Australian of the Year, to be announced 25 January next year. Congratulations Georgie on this well-deserved honour.
Georgie is pictured here performing in this year's Whole School Production 'A Day of Sky'.
We Survived!
After Margrite!
Harry and Jamie's Healthy Chance
Congratulations to Year 10 student Harry Steedman who is a high-school finalist in a national photography competition and Year 9 student Jamie Lewis-Hanafin whose work made it to the semi-finals.
The Your Health Link National Photography Competition and Exhibition gave entrants a theme of 'Healthy Life, Healthy You'.
Medal Haul
Double Gold for Nelson
Nelson, Evan and Marlon all went on to compete at the Victorian All Schools Championships (encompassing both State and private schools) last week.
Nelson came first in both the Boys U18 Para Discus and Shot put, qualifying him for the Australian All Schools Track & Field Championships in Adelaide in December.
Marlon came 2nd in the Boys U15 400m "eight milliseconds behind the national champion" and 3rd in the Boys U15 200m.
Evan came 7th in the Boys U17 Javlin.
An excellent effort from all three boys making it through to this high standard of competition. Good luck at nationals Nelson!
Memories of France
Sunday Fleet, Year 9 (pictured top left): "I loved everything about the trip. I loved how different France was to Australia and I loved the way we as a group got to experience things we may never get to see or do again. We got to learn so much about the interesting history behind many different parts of France that we visited and I am so grateful that I was able to go and also become closer with others on the trip."
Kitty Smyth, Year 8 (pictured in red jacket): "The France trip was an amazing experience and definitely one to remember. I was able to extend my understanding of French language and practice my speaking in real life situations. There were so many incredible places to see and one of my highlights was rolling down the biggest sand dunes in Europe, it was extremely fun. I also made some great new friendships and learnt some remarkable facts about French history along with the connection between Australia and France."
Spectacular Experience
Our students performed in the Victorian State Schools Spectacular on Saturday, 16 September.
Year 10 student Isabella Hodgman was a Principal Vocalist while Clancy Lee, also Year 10, performed as a Circus Artist and Ensemble Vocalist. A further 19 students joined in the mass choir with students from all over Victoria. Thank you to music coordinator Jodie Paxton and teacher John Harte for helping our students have this fantastic experience year after year.
Isabella reports on her experience: "Performing as a Principle Vocalist in the State Schools Spectacular was one of the best experiences of my life. I got the chance to perform to over 6,000 people in Hisense Arena, work personally with and learn from music industry professionals, and make friendships with the cast and crew that I will never forget. Every level of participation, from mass choir and dance, student stage management, student media crew, costume design, to principle vocals is an amazing experience. The people I've worked with over the year are like a family to me, and we all came together and put on an amazing show."
From Clancy: I have learnt so many important lessons that will stick with me for the rest of my life. One, you should always surround yourself with people who care about you and will support you no matter what. Two, you shouldn't stress over the tiniest things in life, just have faith that you know what you are doing. And finally, treasure every moment you spend with the people you love, the cast of spec are my family and I have been so lucky to be a part of that family and I will never forget it. The overall experience was one of laughter and joy. I will always remember it.
Young musicians from Elwood College recently participated in the Junior Bandfest at Bentleigh Secondary College. The event, conducted by Joe O'Callaghan, gave instrumental students an opportunity to perform together in a large concert band. Over a hundred participants and their teachers attended from schools across the region.
Students Eric Farrugia, Tom Paratheras, Monica Ising, Nicole Huynh, William McCarthy, Liam Rogerson, Sofia Sioukaeva, Alice Coffey, Ollie Smith, Will Thomas and Sam Gulliver shared an enjoyable day. Mr McClean, Ms Knowles, Mr Montesante and Mr Voogd accompanied the group.
Leadership Opportunity

This will be open to young people aged 16 to 25 years that live, work or study in Port Phillip with a desire to be involved and contribute to their local community on issues affecting young people.
One of the main aims of the committee is to increase young people's involvement and representation in Council planning and decision-making processes. Council will be invited to attend meetings and speak with the YAC about key initiatives. The committee will offer development opportunities for participants and access to specialist guest speakers.
The Youth Advisory Committee will meet at the St Kilda Town Hall on Tuesday evenings every three weeks except for school holidays.

Alumni Speakers
As part of our 60 year celebrations, we have invited past students back to Elwood College to share their school memories and career experiences. We are very grateful to diabetes advocate and blogger Ashley Ng (attended Elwood College 2003-2007), Prof. John Zeleznikow (1964-1968), Prof. Damien Kingsbury (1969-1972) and The Hon. Justice Mordy Bromberg (1971-1975) for giving their time to the school. Their presentations were both entertaining and insightful, and the feedback from students of all year levels was fantastic.

Alumni Stories: From Kung Fu to the Cup
Barry Pang attended Elwood High 1963-67. Although he has a Mechanical Engineering degree, his real passion was always martial arts and he founded one of the first Kung Fu schools in Melbourne in 1974. With an entrepreneurial spirit, he has other interests in property, art consultancy and horse racing. In fact, Barry is a part owner of 2017 Melbourne Cup runner Ventura Storm and was a part owner of 2013 Melbourne Cup winner Fiorente. He is pictured with his wife Anne, with the Melbourne Cup trophy, and practising Kung Fu in the 1970s.
"My parents were both born in Canton, in China, and came to Australia at the end of WWII. I was born in Australia. In the late 1950s we lived above our delicatessen in Acland Street. My father would cook legs of ham in a huge copper pot to sell in the shop and my mother made home-made pies which were very popular. We knew all the owners of Chinese restaurants in the street and I knew John Zeleznikov, who went to Elwood High, as his parents ran the café Scheherazade.
I went to St Kilda Park Primary School, Elwood Central for Form 1 (Year 7) and then Elwood High for Years 8 – 12. I have such fond memories of Elwood High and still see a lot of friends from those days. I was struck by the large number of Jewish students at the school; they were competitive and hardworking and academically the school was very strong. I remember that our form got 16 Commonwealth scholarships one year.
The teachers were a mixed bunch. They all wore academic gowns and were very serious. I was a bit naughty at school and one day I got the strap from Mr Will, the Deputy Principal for play wrestling with my friend in the corridor. Mr Will thought we were fighting and the strap, which had special heavy leather at the end, hurt. We had Mr Will for Pure Maths. He would photocopy the whole of the Maths syllabus for the year and we would be expected to work through the exercises in class and at home. He would write the solutions to problems on the board but there was very little real teaching or discussion.
I played in the school footy team, and also played cricket. I had been taking Tae Kwon Do lessons since primary school at St Johns Church in Elwood. In Year 12 you could choose to do sport or do private study at home. I was the only student in the whole school who elected to do sport. I invited the Tae Kwon Do instructor to come to the school to teach students, and I helped him during sport times.
There were only two other Chinese or Asian families at Elwood High when I was there. Most of my friends were Jewish. There was racism in Australia at that time but not at Elwood High. It was such a multicultural school. Being a student there enabled me to mix with anyone and I learned how to network and market.
In Year 12, the school dispensed with Prefects, chosen by the teachers and Principal, and allowed students to vote for their representatives. I had friends in Years 10, 11 and 12 so I got them to help me campaign and I was elected."
Barry wanted to study at Monash University because it was a new campus, and it was lively because of the student protest movement against such things as the Vietnam War. He enrolled in Mechanical Engineering but never enjoyed the course and wanted to drop out after first year. His parents insisted he complete the four-year degree. As soon as he did, he headed off to Hong Kong for a year to study martial arts under Bruce Lee's famous Wing Chun instructor, Wong Shun Leung.
Lee died the year before Barry arrived in Hong Kong. Lee's father was related to Barry's mother and they were from the same village in Canton. On his return to Australia, Barry started teaching martial arts and, although he also completed a Diploma of Education and taught Maths and Science for a year, he was soon teaching Kung Fu full time. He founded one of the first Kung Fu schools in Melbourne in 1974. These schools have produced many state and national champions.
In 1998 he established the Southern Universities Sports Association (SUSA) Kung Fu championships, which opened up martial arts competitions to seven universities.
In 1996 Barry was awarded the Blitz Hall of Fame Kung Fu Tribute Award, the most prestigious award in Australia.
By the late 90s Barry had diverse interests in property, the share market and other businesses and began an art consultancy firm, dealing in Australian fine art with his wife Anne. They set up a gallery business and became keen art collectors, amassing an impressive collection that featured some of the biggest names in Australian art history. They sold the collection in 2015.
His other real passion has become horse racing. He joined the stable of the highly regarded trainer Gai Waterhouse and the horse which he part owned, Fiorente won the Melbourne Cup in 2013. The story of Barry's life and journey to the Melbourne Cup featured in an ABC TV story in 2013 (see the first link below).
Alumni Stories: An Academic Life
Andrew Wirth attended Elwood High 1961-1965. Leading classroom discussion in Mr Green's Physics was a fantastic apprenticeship to a career teaching engineering at the University of Melbourne.
"Although I did not fully appreciate it at the time, Elwood High was just the school for me, a nerdy, non-sporty kid from Poland. The co-ed mixture of Aussies and migrants allowed me to stick to the more familiar 'wog ball' and better still to woodpushing (chess).
I remember the teachers as dedicated and some, for example Mr Pittock, as inspiring. David brought the larger than life characters of Great Expectations alive. His modern literature reading list guided me for many post-school years. Heidi Earl's youthful enthusiasm also bore fruit. Some, like Miss Rowan, had a harder time of it. Her attempts to excite me about Mary Anne Evans (George Eliot) succeeded only in my middle age. On the other hand, I was fascinated by the school's daring production of Ionesco's (then new) absurdist play Rhinoceros.
It was a particular delight to discover there was a fellow nerd in my Form 2 (Year 8) class. Discussions about maths, physics and Mad magazines began then and continue still. In my last school year, our physics teacher, Mr Green, when asked a question he considered to be a 'curly one', would frequently encourage Barry and me to lead the classroom discussion. This experience, no doubt, as well as the work of the many fine maths and science teachers, like Mr Will and Mr Clift, contributed to our taking up university jobs.
A Melbourne University Bachelor of Science was followed by time at Monash, resulting in a PhD and marriage to a fellow maths post-grad. An academic career culminated in teaching mathematics to engineers and research in scheduling as an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Melbourne. Lecturing classes of 300-odd engineering students was an interesting challenge; chocolate frog bribes worked a treat. But the best fun was working with PhD students and colleagues on a variety of mathematical modeling topics.
Melbourne is a town obsessed by the question, which school did you go to? In my family, "oh they went to Elwood" is considered a badge of honour. The fact that about half the class of 1965 attended the 50-year reunion suggests that this view is widely shared. I am very grateful to my Elwood teachers and fellow students for showing me the way."
Andrew joined Melbourne University's business school in 1980 and moved to engineering in 1992. He is now on an honorary appointment dividing his time between supervising a PhD student, peer reviewing and most importantly being a grandfather.

The Grinch works as a modernized retelling of Dr. Seuss's classic, with some compelling tweaks to the story and characters for plenty of family fun.
Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic holiday story book that's been adapted to both live-action and animated media since it was first published in 1957. There was the 1966 animated TV special with narration by Boris Karloff and the first rendition of "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" sung by Thurl Ravenscroft with lyrics by Dr. Seuss himself. Then, of course, Ron Howard brought the Grinch to live-action in 2000 with the Jim Carrey-starring How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Now, Illumination Entertainment is returning the mean, green creature to animation with their more simply titled The Grinch. The Grinch works as a modernized retelling of Dr. Seuss's classic, with some compelling tweaks to the story and characters, for plenty of family fun.
The Grinch follows the classic story of Dr. Seuss's original book, as narrated by Pharrell Williams, introducing the titular character (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) as a loathsome creature who lives all by himself - save for his loyal dog Max - hidden away in Mount Crumpit. Down in the valley below sits Whosville, a festive little village known for its love of Christmas and everything that comes with the holiday: decorations, food and especially gifts. However, when the Grinch crosses paths with young Cindy Lou Who (Cameron Seely), he starts down the road that will bring this story to the same conclusion as in Dr. Seuss's classic.
That year, the Grinch learns from Bricklebaum (Kenan Thompson) - a particularly jolly Who who believes himself to be the Grinch's best friend - that Whosville is aiming to make their Christmas celebration three times bigger. As a result of a childhood trauma, the Grinch hates everything Christmas and after a tree-lighting ceremony that reminds him of his trauma, he vows to steal the holiday from the overly festive residents of Whosville. Meanwhile, Cindy Lou, the daughter of overworked single mother Donna Lou Who (Rashida Jones), plots to capture Santa Clause so she can ask him for a very special wish. As Cindy Lou and and the Grinch plot out their respective Christmas plans, they don't realize their paths will cross again and that they'll inevitably change each other's lives - for the better.
The Grinch was co-directed by Scott Mosier (Eddie's Life Coach) and Yarrow Cheney (The Secret Life of Pets) from a script by Michael LeSieur (Keeping Up with the Joneses) and Tommy Swerdlow (Cool Runnings, Snow Dogs). The 3D computer animation of The Grinch is typical of all Illumination's films, which is to say that it brings a great deal of texture to the story. Not only is the setting of Whosville richly animated - with beautiful three-dimensional architecture and realistic-looking food that'll have viewers craving Christmas cookies - but the characters are rendered in incredibly thoughtful ways, none more so than the Grinch himself. From snow sticking in the fur of his green-furred booties to his fur blowing in the wind on top of Mount Crumpit, the animation of the titular character helps the viewer to become more deeply immersed in The Grinch. It's undoubtedly a far cry from the 2D animation of the '66 TV special, but more in line with modern animation styles, and fits perfectly with Illumination's methods in particular.
As for the modernized story of The Grinch, it certainly works within pop culture today. Families with single parents are common enough now that it makes sense for the movie to depict Cindy Lou as the daughter of a single mother, and how that would affect her character arc. To be sure, the original story doesn't give Cindy Lou much character development beyond depicting her as a young girl who manages to break through to the Grinch with her kindness. Illumination's The Grinch expands upon that character trait in a way that roots her in a more modern family situation, but evolves how her kindness - here, it's implied it's part inherent and part learned from her mother - impacts the Grinch. Certainly, making Cindy Lou the daughter of a single mother is the kind of surface change that has become prevalent in modern reimaginings of classic stories (like young girls being interested in STEM), but that aspect of her character is woven deeply into Cindy Lou's story so that it becomes the driving force for her entire arc. As a result, The Grinch earns its modernized aspects through its story.
Similarly, the Grinch's own arc is different in certain key ways to what's previously been presented by adaptations of Dr. Seuss's story. Though he's still a creature with a heart two sizes too small, Cumberbatch's Grinch is a more empathetic character. This isn't an inherently evil creature who hates the joy of Christmas, or a Who who doesn't fit the typical mold and is ostracized because of it. This Grinch is a lonely creature who rejects others before he can be rejected by them; he's someone who isolated himself to prevent the hurt of potentially being left alone by others. As a result, the story is slightly different to accommodate for the slight tweaks to the Grinch's character. This Grinch must learn a more explicit lesson about how Christmas brings loved ones together - friends and found family, not just blood relatives - to spend the holiday with each other. In this theme, too, The Grinch has a more modern message for young viewers: the holidays aren't necessarily about family, but about being with those you love, whoever that may be.
Ultimately, the changes made to the story and characters for Illumination's The Grinch work to set the movie apart from the adaptations of Dr. Seuss's story that came before it. Certainly, it doesn't have the campy aspect of Carrey's performance in Howard's live-action movie, nor does it stick to the classic style of "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" (here, the song is performed by Tyler, the Creator). But the modernizations of The Grinch will undoubtedly work for many audience members - though, perhaps some aspects more than others. Cumberbatch is a new Grinch for a new generation, working equally well in the moments of heart as in the more humorous gags. And Max, along with the reindeer Fred, are scene-stealers, bringing some pure family fun to The Grinch to go with its heartwarmingly earnest message about holiday togetherness.
The Grinch may not be a necessary holiday movie, but fans of Dr. Seuss's story or holiday films in general will find plenty to like in this new animated retelling. Plus, with a variety of family-friendly jokes, The Grinch will no doubt entertain viewers young and old, though the 90-minute runtime does stretch thin in the third act of the movie. It's perhaps not worth seeing in IMAX, but The Grinch does provide some rich visuals that will also capture the eye of all moviegoers. The Grinch is holiday fun for the whole family, adapting a classic story with a new twist that makes for an altogether compelling moviegoing experience.
The Grinch is now playing in U.S. theaters nationwide. It is 90 minutes long and rated PG for brief rude humor.

If you have suffered tooth loss, dental implants – also known as implant dentistry, can help restore both the cosmetic appearance and functionality of your teeth. Whether you are missing a single tooth or require a complete set of teeth, we can provide a permanent solution to your problem.
Much like dentures, dental implants replace your missing teeth, while maintaining a natural appearance and an increase in comfort and usability. The simple surgical procedure involves implanting specifically designed teeth into your jawbone. Over time, the implant and the jaw will fuse permanently together, and you will experience the benefits of having a complete set of teeth. Dental implants can help improve your biting pressure, allowing you to eat a variety of foods that may not have been possible before, and increase your self confidence by restoring your smile. Because the implant is designed specifically for you, the implant will fit properly and comfortably and, with proper care, can last as long as 20 years or more.

It is Vital for Babies to breathe through their nose
The topic of nose breathing and mouth breathing is very close to home for me.
Breathing through our mouth is not natural and it can become a terrible habit. This was the case for me as I became a habitual mouth breather. It affected my life in ways I did not even realize.
I never knew that it was because of the way I breathe that I became a lip balm addict. My lips were constantly dry, I always needed something to drink. I got sick regularly and took a long time to recover, often ending up with secondary infections. I felt claustrophobic in confined spaces and battled to sleep facing my husband. I had poor sleeping patterns and snored. I was often the last person to finish my meal at a dinner party and I preferred finger foods. I chose sweet and salty foods and would very seldom have something like a steak which requires lots of chewing. There were many other little behavioral things. I've always been known for my nasal and husky voice and I often even received compliments on that.
I became used to it. It was a way of life.
I Didn't Know Any Different
During pregnancy I had a real tough time with sinus issues. It was only in 2016, after my baby was born, that I finally realized my inability to properly breathe through my nose. It became known to me that the reason for many uncomfortable things in my life was due to the fact that it felt more comfortable to breathe through my mouth.
I had a deviated septum and the visible part of my nose was somewhat narrow too. In my case, the best option was surgery. A year after my baby was born I spent four hours in theater for a complete physiological reconstruction of my nose to enable me to breathe properly.
The result has been life changing. Another year later I have only been sick once. My family members don't get sick as often as they used to, and we recover quickly, mostly without the need for antibiotics. I now enjoy a wide variety of foods and curries have become a favourite.
It is my personal belief that a blocked nose is one of the most undiagnosed and untreated conditions. We can become accustomed to behavioral issues that transpire from our unnatural and unhealthy habit of breathing through our mouth.
Babies Are Naturally Meant to Breathe Through Their Nose
Our nose purifies air and provides it to our lungs at the right temperature and humidity.
A baby who is breathing through their mouth will drool and have a retracted lip. Their tongue will be pushed forward. Babies who battle to breathe through their nose tend to snore. According to ENT surgeon Dr. Raymond Friedman, "No child should ever snore apart from snoring for a few days when he is sick."
Many Problems Occur When Babies Cannot Breathe Through Their Nose
It affects their sleep because they cannot get into a deep sleep. They become sleep deprived. It may appear that the baby has slept for five hours but when one monitors the sleep one may find that the baby has moved to all corners of the cot and changed her position several times because she is not really asleep.
One cannot be in a deep sleep with an open mouth because at complete rest we close our mouth. When sleeping patterns are negatively affected it can go on to affect concentration and other behavioral patterns.
Babies with breathing difficulty experience problems with sucking and have problems with chewing when they are older. Children with blocked noses get tired when they are being fed and will start making a mess because they need a break to breathe through their mouth.
To a large extent, these children also can't talk properly. They cannot pronounce 'k' and 'ing' correctly and they develop bad speech habits.
How To Help A Baby Breath Through Their Nose
A baby who cannot breathe through his nose must be able to breathe through his mouth.
A soother can help a child with a blocked nose. Dr. Friedman says that the main advantage of a soother in the ENT specialty is to keep the baby's mouth open when he or she cannot breathe through his/her nose. Babies who are fast asleep with soothers are using them as pacifiers. A baby who is sleeping with a pacifier and moving it around is not sleeping deeply but using the pacifier to breathe. Children with blocked noses tend to chew on soothers when they are awake as it helps them to breathe. One can see them walking around with soothers hanging halfway out of their mouth. A child with a blocked nose will simply use a soother to keep his airways open.
"I advocate a soother as a pacifier and if a baby can sleep with it in his mouth with his mouth closed then his nose is working adequately."
Nasal decongestants are good for a blocked nose in the short-term.
Dr. Friedman also says that antihistamines do not work for nasal obstructions. When babies present anything associated with changes in behaviour we need to seek medical attention.
Opting For A Soother to Aid Breathing Through The Nose
The position of the tongue at rest fills the entire mouth. If a soother is too big it will push the tongue down and the lip and teeth forward. The shape of the NUK soother is designed to imitate the nipple of a mother when it is inside the baby's mouth while breastfeeding. This unique shape is thin, narrow and flat which are the ideal characteristics of a pacifier.
The soother ensures that we get a peaceful sleep in our home. Poppet knows how to put herself back to sleep if she wakes up because she uses her dummy to soothe herself back to sleep without waking us up. Click here to read about our journey to sleeping through the night. Don't forget the dummy chain! And always attach the soother in the same spot.
Another one of my hacks is taking the dummy with us when we go out to highly congested and polluted areas to ensure optimum nose breathing.

#didyouknow Soothers promote Nose Breathing and breathing through our nose is the way we're supposed to breathe. Our mouth is not a breathing organ. Our nose filters the air and provides it to the lungs at the right temperature. Breathing through our noses can help alleviate the intensity and frequency of getting sick. Using a soother is one of my hacks, especially when we're out and about in highly polluted and congested surroundings. Babies who grow up with and sleep with a soother get into the habit of breathing through their nose. This habit serves them for life ???????? @nuk_southafrica #nosebreathing #nuksouthafrica #soother

Thanks Eldon.

Interesting view, I can see how that makes sense. Each mom has to do what they feel is best in the long run hey? great blog by the way 🙂
Laetitia Corder
Thanks Bronwyn. Of course we can only ever share what works for us and aim to inspire another mom:) And us moms as a specie are always the ones who know what works for our own kids. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and for the lovely compliment.
Interesting perspective, in Europe we recommend ditching the dummy after 6 months as the harms then outweigh the benefits.
Laetitia Corder
Hi Ingrid. Thanks so much for your valuable input. I should probably have added that we currently only use the dummy for sleep and minor trauma such as falling or hurting herself and occasionally for polluted areas and a few other things. We have many professionals that recommend the same and say that excessive use of the dummy after 6 months can even delay speech. Some ENT professionals firmly disagree with that claim and say that kids who can hear properly will speak when they want to and spit it out. They also say that kids who are in happy homes don't have any problems letting go of their dummies when they are around the age of 2 – 3 years when their sucking reflex is no longer such an important factor of their development. Thanks for your comment. The different perspectives are very important to moms.

|Check out this blog post by Karen Lopez and then let us know your Big Data Story. http://embt.co/1yPSjMe
I've been speaking, teaching and ranting on big data and NoSQL technologies recently. I've noticed that when I chat with many data modelers, I've met with a lot of skepticism about big data.
You may be that "guy" if you've ever said: • It's just mainframe all over again.
• It's a fad to get out of data modeling tasks
• It's not something I need know about
• I don't have big data, so I don't need to know NoSQL
I think what's missing from that thinking is the fact that modern data architectures use technologies that are the best fit for solving a data "problem". I like to use the term "data story" instead of "problem." It's not that the newer technologies are replacing traditional relational database systems; they are complementing them.

Today, we remember the 49 people lost two years ago on this day in a senseless act of gun violence during the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Most of those lost that night were young, Latinx members of the LGBTQ community simply enjoying a night out with their friends and loved ones, and yet, somehow there are still conversations going on across America questioning whether gun control should be an LGBTQ priority.

How Can We Better Protect LGBTQ Students: Psychologists Take Action
Over the last year, we have witnessed regular news media headlines coming out of Washington, D.C. with a state of shock, horror, and anger. Specifically, we have been alarmed by the rollback of protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth and students.

It's May. Which means that it is the 2-year anniversary of TFF. Yes, I've been rambling on, via keyboard, about food and life for 2 years. If I stop and think too hard about it, I'll start to wonder what it is, exactly, that I do with my time. Which is precisely why I never, ever, stop to think very hard.
I thought it would be fitting to mark the occasion by bringing things full-circle. My very first post, on May 4, 2007, was about coffee. Primarily, about how much I can't imagine life without it (well, more precisely, coffee with its yang-counterpart: half-n-half. When I had to go for 2 months without cream while nursing my dairy-allergic son, I considered therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder).
Little did I know, way back then. That, two years forward, I would be so insanely spoiled as to daily be drinking the freshest-roasted coffee possible. That my husband would get into his mind, via friends like Eric, that home-roasted coffee is both economical and delicious. Now granted — one could consider my birthday gift to him a gentle push in this direction (the necessary equipment: an old popcorn popper). But I didn't twist his arm. Really.
So now, he purchases green coffee beans from a local roaster, and roasts coffee every week or so. He's read a lot about it at this site, and heard the trials and errors of friends' experiences. Once you shell out $50 for someone's garage junk that you can now only find on ebay, you basically just put the beans in and let them roast. It doesn't take long (about 6 minutes for a batch), but the batches have to be small (only 4 oz or so) and you have to roast outside (the smell and chaff are both a mess). I know it's more complex than that: I've heard him go on about "first cracks" and other such nuances, but I see this as his thing, and employ a healthy dose of willing ignorance on the whole process. I just drink the coffee.
Man, it's good coffee. A couple weeks ago, during our house-preparation marathon, Tim spent three days installing a brick walk in our front yard. He excavated, leveled a layer of sand, and then placed by hand about 950 bricks, cutting many to fit. The last day he worked on it, he spent the entire day bent over at the waist as he placed those bricks. He worked until the sun went down, and then came inside and said, "I've gotta roast coffee." And he went out on the deck with his Westbend Poppery and some green beans, and came back in a half-hour later with a jar of lovely, dark, oily beans.
And this, friends, is why I married the man.

Since the first cricket test played in 1877, cricket has evolved drastically and diversified into three main formats and other local formats. Test cricket remains as the heart and soul of cricket, while one day cricket and now T20 are tagged as the popular versions of the game. Cricket has been generating billions of money from the sub-continent, especially from India, where people keep cricket close to their heart and celebrate every cricket match as a national festival. Advertisers pour in to be a part of every cricket carnival where cricketers are considered as demigods. Corporates are behind them for making them brand ambassadors of products, because of their superstar value and it is no wonder that cricketers are amongst the highest paid sports professionals now.
IPL has helped several international and domestic players to secure their lives through its lucrative pay packages and helped them to get priceless experience through its generic flavor. The IPL has contributed a lot to team India's current success, with players like Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja, Abhishek Nayar and several others being the beneficiaries. It has also amplified the flow of money into cricket. The prize money, sponsorship, players' salaries and all other attributes have outdone the prevailing trend and IPL became the benchmark in the world of cricket.
Notwithstanding its attractiveness, arguably, IPL has resulted in the premature retirement of several great players like Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden and the latest update to the list is Andrew Flintoff. Can the players alone be blamed for this especially when West Indies players boycotted their series against Bangladesh due to contract issues? We can argue that the players should give preference to their country first than any other commitments. However, the fact is that, at the end of the day money matters!

Posted: Mar 15, 2018
AZUSA, Calif. – The No. 10 nationally ranked Wesleyan University men's tennis team lost to the 2017 NCAA champions and top-ranked Emory University on Thursday, 7-2.

While it's true that family is without end, it is necessary that the family is wholesome. A third of fogeys told us that despite good intentions, they're just too tired to be as energetic with their youngsters as they'd like to be. But the urge for food for change is there and now is the proper time to behave. You'll be able to block entry to settings to forestall FamilyTime to be uninstalled so your children can't uninstall the app.
Kids grow up and are gone earlier than you understand it, so do not waste the time you may have now, and spend it with your family. Or swap children with other single mother and father in order that your kids have friends to play with whereas the dad and mom get time to themselves.
Quality time together strengthens household resilience Individuals price the standard of their conversations as significantly greater†when smartphones aren't current, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or temper. In contrast, youngsters who eat dinner with their households each night time of the week are 20 {331c74864ecb507bcb5224f8002f195a898630d4b22ae0925e18f310a24bb85f} much less likely to drink, smoke, or use unlawful drugs.
However they don't know it is not about how well I can play anymore, it's about spending time with household. Having the experience of forming relationships across generations, character varieties, family dynamics, and different types of range provides kids (and all of us) with priceless life expertise.

Hey all, it's the last monday of the month so it's time for a big update! This month I…
- Started putting all those gui assets I made last month to good use
- Coded a brand new main menu, pause menu and status screen
- Implemented a gallery feature that… mostly works as intended
- Worked on a few CGs
- Wrote three new knight scenes for August (the opening month of the game) to give the player a better insight into each love interest's personality. I'm definitely happier with August's writing compared to before
So, let's start with the main menu. I'm pretty happy with this, I feel like it needs a bit of animation or something but the overall look is what I was going for:
When you're in-game, pressing esc takes you to a pause menu where you can access all the other functions:
Again, I'd like to animate a flicker glow or something for those buttons when hovered, but it's a low priority compared to getting CGs and other artwork finished for now.
Saving/loading currently looks like this:
… I was trying to think of a way to makes the file slot screenshots look like windows but to be honest, it didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. I do plan to revisit this design later.
Preferences (though I changed the name to config) is pretty similar to the gui renpy ships with, since I couldn't really come up with a better design that fit the church window theme. It's okaaay, but a bit bland so again, this one needs revisiting later. I did add in an option to change text size, since that's always a nice feature for a player to have:
The quit option, or any confirm choice, now looks like this. The sun and moon are actually two buttons cleverly positioned together so they light up individually when hovered over, which I think looks pretty neat:
The Help and History screens are unchanged from the default; didn't see much point in messing with those. The Gallery is a new feature so once you've seen a CG in-game, it's permanently unlocked for you (even if you start a new game):
Lastly we have the Status screen, where you can check status, money, stress and relationship progress. I think it turned out well!
The astute among you may have noticed a change in font as well. I knew the font I used for names/titles didn't work as a small font in dialogue, so I tried making a simpler version. It… didn't work out. My attempts:
In the end, the font was just too spidery and I wasn't willing to sink more time and effort into it, so I caved and got a nice (and commercially free) font called Delius to use instead. Comparison:
It's still a little bit fancy, but it should be easy enough to read, I hope? If anyone disagrees please do let me know and I can look into different font options.
That's it for September's update. For October I'm planning to focus on finishing sprites and the CGs I need to release a demo (hopefully) at the end of November. Lots of work ahead!

Polandball: Can Into Space is an Android game that makes fun of the space race, and the different countries that are still trying to reach the stars. The focus is on Polandball, a Ball that represents the Polish, trying to overcome the other nations – such as Germanyball, Japanball, Russiaball and more – that often put Polandball down. Other nation balls – such as Jamaicaball – will help Polandball in the skies, though. Similar to Faster Than Light, users will need to build a rocket capable of getting Polandball into space, certain aspects are simply upgraded, and players can earn more coins as money to better perfect their little rocket.
Polandball: Can Into Space can be downloaded from the Play Store as both a free version or an ad-free version, as well as on Steam and even iOS if you're so inclined. Once launched, there are a few options to choose from on the main menu.
A nice touch here is that users are given the option to see the Intro or not, as well as to run through the tutorial or not.
The first thing I noticed was the poor English used throughout, and while I'm not 100% sure this is done on purpose, I'm pretty sure that it's all in good fun. One thing the Intro didn't impress me with however, was the stereotypes of the different Countries…
Hopefully however, this is just all in good fun, but the Tutorial informs you of some country balls that are more likely to do Polandball more damage than good, and the stereotypes here aren't much better, either.
The Tutorial does a pretty neat job of educating players how to play the game and what to look out for though, which is appreciated.
Getting out there into the skies is where the action is, and controls are nice and simple, with a radar to show users what's coming up and where. Things to look out for are red and green dots for unhelpful and helpful countries as well as money and fuel – which is needed to keep on flying, of course.
Some of the other Country balls can be really quite aggressive, making it difficult to fly straight and keep on going. The Romaniaball in particular was very aggressive and annoying, but it does add a further challenge to the game.
When you run out of fuel, it's game over, and Polandball will end up falling back down to Earth, having failed its mission. Players are given a KM readout at the top left while flying up and there's a progress meter updating users how close to Space they are on the right.
The idea in Polandball: Can Into Space is to make adjustments to the rocket and then have another go at it. Things can be easily upgraded, many of which make a big improvement to the overall performance of the rocket.
For instance, the Helmet can deliver some extra speed while the Fuselage will add to the overall Armor stat as shown to the right of the rocket. Each part of the rocket has a small important role to play, and they can be upgraded individually.
There's a lot that players can do to improve their rocket, but they do seem to cost quite a bit, and I often found myself with not enough money to purchase what I needed next.
Ads are a bit of an annoyance here, and while I understand that developers need to make money, and pop-over ads before a level are one thing, having something always visible is a pain. Even so, Polandball does make the most of these ads and offers players a little something in exchange. There is also a paid version – which doesn't cost much at all – which is available here without any ads.
Players that play right to the end will be rewarded with a cinematic which can only be seen by reaching the moon. This is a nice incentive for Countryball fans to keep on playing and it's nice to see this sort of thing in mobile games.
After spending some time playing Polandball: Can Into Space, I can see where the developers got their inspiration from; Polandball has been around for some time and it's a nice way of tapping into Internet culture. The overall gameplay is pretty good, and there was a lot that I liked, the gameplay of heading into space and then tinkering with parts of the rocket reminded me of Faster Than Light as well as soap box racing, and I enjoyed actually playing the game. As someone that hadn't come across the Polandball meme before however, I was a little confused at first, but a few Google searches later and I can see where the inspiration came from. Gameplay wise, this reminds me a lot of other similar games, but with its own charm and charisma to it. This might not be to everyone's liking, but there's a solid game beneath a funny reference that will strike a chord with those who know where it's from and such.
- Speed (4/5) -Â The game runs nice and smoothly, and there are no issues where performance is concerned.
- Theme (4/5) -Â Graphically, things look good here. There's a definite indie feel to the game, and that works nicely, but the Polandball reference and theme is one that not everyone will understand or even take a liking to.
- Features (4/5) -Â With fun, challenging and ever-progressing gameplay, Polandball: Can Into Space is a game that plays well and offers a fun challenge for the majority of users. It's not something that will instantly appeal to everyone, but not many indie games do.
- Overall (4/5) -Â It might not be totally original, but Polandball: Can Into Space is a game that has good gameplay, lots of replayability and a definite progression from a fairly basic starting point to a more advanced craft and so on.
- Looks good and has a tongue-in-cheek theme and appearance that will make a lot of players laugh.
- Gameplay is good, and offers progression throughout, as well a sense of achievement the higher and higher people get.
- Customization options are varied and make a real difference in-game and are fairly easy to unlock as a lot of coins can be collected in-flight.
- Will appeal greatly to those of a certain generation that spend a lot of time on the Internet.
- Not everyone is going to understand the Countryball or Polandball theme and its memes, and might be confused.
- Some of the stereotypes for the different Countryballs could be considered a little too out there.
All-in-all, Polandball: Can Into Space is a game that I can see a lot of players really enjoying, but those players will need to be those that have an understanding of certain memes and such. Regardless though, the gameplay is solid and sci-fi fans as well as casual gamers will really enjoy the gamer after a little while of playing.

Graphene is the next big thing in… well, everything. It's been used to desalinate water, make batteries recharge ridiculously fast, and create a paper-like material ten times stronger than steel.
The next frontier for graphene: outerwear, brought to you by the adventurous folks at Vollebak.
Experimenting with wonder materials is in the company's DNA. They've dabbled with Kevlar in the past, so it's only natural that they decided to introduce a graphene garment.
Their initial offering is the relatively nondescript black jacket you see here. Vollebak says it's "part coat, part science experiment." Unlike their 100 Year Hoodies (which are 100% Kevlar), the graphene jacket isn't pure graphene. It's graphene coated.
Vollebak doesn't get into any real details about the jacket on their website. Does the graphene layer make the coat waterproof without sacrificing comfort and breathability? Possibly. Is it bulletproof? Probably not.
At this point, all that's guaranteed is that this is one of the — if not the — only pieces of clothing you'll be able to buy in the immediate future that's made with graphene. That gives it a healthy amount geek cachet, though it'll no doubt come at a premium.
That's not a surprise if you know anything about Vollebak. Those 100 Year Hoodies? They retail for $330 and $395. They also get rave reviews and can stand up to absolutely ludicrous amounts of abuse. If you were to buy one and it really did hold up for 100 years, you've only spent $3.30/3.95 a year on it.
That's not only cool because you could pass it on to your next-of-kin, but also because most $39 hoodies you buy aren't going to hold up for ten years unless you're really, really easy on them.
Whether or not the graphene jacket is as sound an investment remains to be seen, but c'mon… it's made with graphene!
Let us know what you like about Geek by taking our survey.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Brahmapur, Aug 21:
Odisha's top Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda was produced before the SDJM court here today amid tight security.
Sabyasachi was produced at the SDJM court by the police in connection with three cases.
The court fixed September 3 as the next date of hearing.
Of the three cases in which Sabyasachi will be tried one is in connection with the arrest of a sarpanch who was arrested by the Baidyanathpur police for allegedlycarrying a message on behalf of the Maoists particularly Sabyasachi Panda. There is another case in connection with Sabyasachi Panda's arrest on July 17 from a rented house in Brahmapur by the Bada Bazaar police the third is in connection with the arrest of three persons who were nabbed from Gosani Nuagaon on the outskirts of Brahmapur town in 2001 while they were moving suspiciously. A 9mm pistol was seized from them.
In the Gosani Nuagaon case charges have been framed and the court has fixed September 3 as the next date of hearing in the matter, sources said.
Sources said the court also took up a prayer of Sabyasachi who wants permission to take to writing during his stay in the jail. The Maoist leader's lawyer argued that since his client desires to return to the mainstream of the society, he be permitted to write articles and books while he is inside the jail.
The court while admitting the prayer allowed time to the prosecution to file its counter within September 3 in the matter
