Today my business as a web-based retailer, pattern designer, author, speaker and educator, keep me pretty busy. I work predominantly with clothing, but dabble here and there with wall pieces and accessories. My forte is in fabric manipulation and coming up with creative ways to change how fabrics (or other mediums) are used. I love challenges and encourage creative sewing and design with easy to master techniques.

|My love for Japanese textiles and crafts began in the 1960's when my father was stationed in the Air Force in Okinawa.
I learned sashiko from a Japanese woman over 25 years ago, and fell in love with the craft. It quickly became an all-consuming passion. Sashiko, an easy embroidery technique using a running stitch, is relaxing and fun, and creates a sense of peace while stitching. Sashiko is elegance in simplicity.

8: Holding your objects
Posted on March 1st, 2001
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
|Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java
|Contents | Prev | Next
It's a fairly simple program that has only a fixed quantity of objects with known lifetimes.
In general, your programs will always be creating new objects based on some criteria that will be known only at the time the program is running. You won't know until run-time the quantity or even the exact type of the objects you need. To solve the general programming problem, you need to create any number of objects, anytime, anywhere. So you can't rely on creating a named handle to hold each one of your objects:
MyObject myHandle;
since you'll never know how many of these things you'll actually need.
To solve this rather essential problem, Java has several ways to hold objects (or rather, handles to objects). The built-in type is the array, which has been discussed before and will get additional coverage in this chapter. Also, the Java utilities library has some collection classes (also known as container classes , but that term is used by the AWT so "collection" will be used here) that provide more sophisticated ways to hold and even manipulate your objects. This will comprise the remainder of this chapter.

Prehistoric peoples often used natural materials such as feathers, bone, shells, and plant materials to create necklaces, but by the Bronze Age metallic jewelry had replaced pre-metallic adornments. Necklaces were first depicted in the statuary and art of the Ancient Near East, and early necklaces made of precious metals with inset stones were created in Europe.

A Users' Guide
Welcome to the second annual edition of Ceramic Industry's Equipment Digest. In the 2002 Equipment Digest (click on "Equipment Digest" in the main menu bar), you will find information on various types of equipment used in the ceramic industry, from Agglomerators and Grinding Wheels to Isostatic Presses and Thermal Analysis Instruments, and dozens of pieces of equipment in between. The equipment is separated into five sections—Batching/Materials Handling Equipment, Forming/Finishing Equipment, Decorating Equipment, Drying/Firing Equipment and Instrumentation—so that you can quickly find the type of equipment you are looking for based upon its intended application. To make this year's Equipment Digest even easier to use, we have included an index of all of the equipment that appears in this edition (see p. 75 in the print edition). Simply turn to the page number indicated to the left of the product heading to find the information you are seeking.
We have made a great deal of progress this year, adding over 50 new definitions and revising many others that first appeared in last year's Digest to more accurately reflect variations in equipment types. We have also completely updated the list of equipment suppliers,* making it easy for you to contact equipment manufacturers and distributors to obtain more information. However, the Equipment Digest is still a work in progress. Many more definitions will be added in the coming months and years, and existing definitions will continue to change based on feedback from the industry. Keep this edition handy as a quick reference to locate suppliers and basic information about the equipment used in the ceramic industry, but realize that it will evolve over time. If you are looking for a supplier for a piece of equipment not yet listed in the Equipment Digest, refer to Ceramic Industry's Data Book & Buyers' Guide either in print or online. And check our website often to find updated definitions in the Equipment Digest, or to suggest new equipment definitions or revisions of existing definitions.
Your support—and your suggestions—will continue to help make the Equipment Digest a valuable, thorough resource in the years to come.
To submit suggestions or definitions for next year's Equipment Digest, contact the editor, Christine Grahl, at 3610 Elmview St., West Bloomfield, MI 48324; (248) 366-2503; fax (248) 366-2504; or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Are you super busy but want a quick, 15-minute task to improve your family history? Then you need to take time to update your address book or personal contact list.
Do you send annual Christmas cards? I know I am. Shhhh, don't tell anyone who'll have a panic attack, but Christmas will be here before you know it. So it's time to update your mailing list.
Christmas card sending often involves the older generation. It is a fading tradition that out most people don't like. People don't want to deal with the hassle of taking a photo, selecting a card, addressing all the envelopes, or dare I say, writing the annual family update letter. However, the holiday card mailing tradition is a great way to update your family contacts.
The Christmas Cards Helps Us Check In With Distant Relatives
Many people who receive Christmas cards are your extended family members, who might not be on social media. If they are not, you might need to check your address list by contacting other family members through social media. If that doesn't work, check out the White Pages. You'll probably have to pay a fee to get the actual address, but it will help you update your records.
When you update your address lists to determine where your extended family members are living, you may discover that someone has passed away, become divorced, or had another child.
Whatever you find out, you can quickly add these tidbits to your genealogical record collection.
If a relative has passed, you can request a copy of their obituary and death records to add to your filing system, since you are THE family historian.
Even if you're not a holiday card, today is an excellent day for updating your family contact list. As you update that list, you'll be making family history! Woot-woot.

In this we will discuss the process, which I used to adopt for development of mobile web base App.
The steps are as follow
User Requirements
You have to aware what people needed so contact with people specially end users of future software or app
Setup Environment:
Involves all the directories required in creation such as documentation, source code with source control, frame works, installing code libraries and third party software.
Use balsamiq and pencil for interface of the App to form low fidelity prototyping and high fidelity UI model and make client comfortable and fully satisfied with prototype. I usually used jQuery mobile because of easy framework for creating prototypes.
When my client is satisfied I have start implementation of UI of the App, usually to inhabit the screen I use mock data and simulate network-connections or other process which required in the App production. This UI is working or not has to be test on different devices like iOS with Xcode, Ripple, Genymotion…
Then I concentrate on the implementation of controllers (client) and services, which urge UI. First creation of behavior driven test for controllers and for services layers; it's easy to make a good one behavior driven test, that tests tell you requirement of specific task without code bloat or simple to discover the place where require to change services or controller to respond to UI changes. Second implementation of the controller and services layer function. Last to eradicate mock data and wire the UI to controller.
Here focus on server side endpoints & services store app data for task has to be run on the bases of mobile app. With tools (like postman) make behavior driven tests of endpoints with false data. Implement the end points. To create behavior driven tests for service layer like authorization, data access, authentication…. And to implement services layer.
To test the application use various devices like iOS with Xcode to check the feature of the app and performance by functional and non-functional tests.
Package the app if required and then it is ready for deploying into great enterprise app store.
If you have any other idea for developing app I would like to know share your ideas, which will be helpful for us

Jd was so promising last week. We hung out a few times. Great make out session. He was readily available and wanted to take me out!
Friday rolled around and I decided to skip the workout and get ready at an easy pace. Nothing fancy, but I did the eye brow pluck, nail trim, hair washing, lotioning, spraying, you know… enough to get myself excited. We all have our routine that we go through if we have the time and care enough. It's a nice little ritual that makes you feel pretty and calms the nerves.
We set 7pm as the time of pick up. I was ready a full 25 minutes in advance. When I'm excited I usually don't sit still very well. I kept myself busy with some light cleaning, and I turned on netflix.
6:40 Text: "I'm running a bit late. Drinking at Blue Canoe. They brought us another pitcher without us ordering it. 😦 "
Couple of things I feel are note worthy about this.
- There ARE legitimate excuses for running late. This does not count as one of them.
- Drinks BEFORE a date?? Okay… I might be guilty of the half a glass a wine to take the edge off some nerves before a date… but going out with buddies (I hope he was with buddies – for the sole reason that it wasn't the first drink… and they were pitchers!) before hand? Am I plan number two for the evening? I guess that's okay…. but… It doesn't settle right with me.
- Maybe I'm being dramatic about this one. Why can't he ditch early? I mean, prior commitments. There are a lot of things I roll well with, but fucking with my calendar and time is at the top of my no-no list. I do realize I value this more than the average gal, but I VALUE THIS! It's me. It's not going to change. And if you can't respect my time on date 1?? How will it be going forward? If I was with friends before a date and they mistakenly brought another round, I would politely give my drink away and bow out.
He picked me up closer to 8. But he came to my door… this is a lost art I believe. I know that we are opting to meet at a neutral location more and more, but there's something about opening the door to a date…. So I add a tally mark to the pro side of the list… but still it's lopsided.
As we descended the stairs of my apartment building he starts going on about his car. He's been driving this thing for the last 10 plus years. So…. it's quite old. Antique by definition, but not the classy kind. It smells of old plastic. I don't really care about cars and new/old/sports/blah blah blah… so I just say "Please don't worry about it. Not a big deal." We get in. "Oh, and the a/c just went out." At this point I take hold of the hint… "Would you like me to drive?"
Ugh… I hate driving. I'm a nervous driver when I have passengers. But if it eases his mind then…. sure… "Fine." I don't like this car insecurity… Just own it. And go with it. It wasn't a particularly warm night, it would've been perfectly fine. But car insecurity. Not attractive.
We head to dinner. And it's nice. He pays. He is good at filling in any gaps in a conversation, not that there were many. He's sweet. Still sweet. And I really really really am drawn in by this. Then I realize… It's the ONLY thing that is drawing me in.
He's not the usual body type I'm attracted to. He doesn't have a commanding personality that I feel safe with. I just am completely turned off some where in the middle of dinner… but I like him… just…. not… in a jump-your-bones-sort-of way. And I realize, this is why no clothes came off the last time…
Bubble busted. The date ended uneventfully. And I'm not too entirely sure if I'll see JD again.

text: The time evolution of Bloch electrons (holes) moving in a constant electric field has been studied for GaN and 2H-SiC using a numerical model based on realistic band structures. The large band gap of GaN and the SiC polytypes provide much larger critical fields than in conventional semiconductors, which allows device operation at very high electric fields. At sufficiently high electric fields the carriers may change band during drift due to tunneling. GaN has a direct band gap, while the hexagonal SiC polytypes have indirect band gaps. In spite of this difference the valence band structure is very similar due to the wurtzite symmetry. In this work the GaN and the 2H-SiC polytype are considered as wurtzite prototype semiconductors in order to study valence band to band tunneling in wurtzite semiconductors for electric fields directed along the c axis. A large valence band to band tunneling probability was found for both materials at electric fields above 400 kV/cm. This shows the importance of considering band to band tunneling in studies of high field hole transport in wide band-gap hexagonal semiconductor materials. The proposed numerical approach can be used to enhance the interband tunneling models used in Monte Carlo simulation of carrier transport in hexagonal semiconductors.

From sautéing to deep-frying, boiling to steaming, many different cooking methods can be utilized to bring out the beautiful flavours of ingredients. Understanding how and when to apply the cooking method is one thing but knowing the right temperature to be applied for each of these cooking method is another.
Here's a guide on the different type of heat to use when applying these different cooking methods.
To sauté is to stir and toss food ingredients that are cut in even sizes in a pan or wok. This is done quickly to make sure that the ingredients are not charred.
Right amount of heat: Medium to medium-high
Like sautéing, stir-frying requires you to stir and toss your ingredients around real quick in the wok.
Right amount of heat: Very high
When deep-frying, the food is placed into hot oil at a temperature of 160-190°C. These high temperatures cooks and browns food fast. When the temperature of the oil sits below the 160°C mark, the oil will start to seep into the food, making it soaked with oil and greasy.
Note: If you don't have an oil thermometer, drop a small piece of bread into the oil. The oil is ready when the bread turns golden brown in 15 seconds.
Right amount of heat: Moderate to high
Blanching is a cooking method that requires the food, usually vegetables, to be briefly cooked in boiling water.
Right amount of heat: High
With the boiling process, ingredients are usually added to the liquid once it reaches a boil at 100°C. This method of cooking works well for pastas, grains, green vegetables and for reducing sauces.
Right amount of heat: High
Simmering is a cooking method that's ideal for making stocks, soups and also for reducing sauces. This cooking process usually takes place at temperatures ranging from 85°C to 96°C – you will notice the liquid bubbling, one or two bubbles start to reach the surface every couple of seconds. If the bubbles appear any faster and it'll be considered as boiling.
Right amount of heat: Medium high
Steaming takes place once water is heated past the 100°C mark, when water turns into steam. The hot steam circulates through the pot and cooks the food very quickly.
Right amount of heat: High

Reduce Toronto's Housing Rental Prices
0 have signed. Let's get to 100!
Although the issue of rising rental property prices has existed for a number of years in Toronto, the increasing rates do not appear to be slowing down. To briefly illustrate this growing problem, by mid-2017, Toronto apartment rental prices had risen 30% compared to rental prices six months prior. In fact, the average rental price skyrocketed to above $2000 per month, which is comparable to Brooklyn-level rent prices. This issue is concerning for a number of reasons. First, it means that many new Torontonians cannot afford to move into units. These citizens are either forced to live extremely far outside of the city, or choose to find another job. Second, it has caused vacancy rates within Toronto to rapidly drop, as many residents are unwilling to move and face the new higher rental prices within the city. In fact, vacancy rates across the GTA have reached a 16-year low, and these rates are likely even higher within the city itself.
I am asking you all to sign this petition so that our government leaders know that we are aware of the housing crisis within the city of Toronto, and that we demand they do something to change the current situation. I will be sending this petition to Peter Milczyn (Housing Minister of Ontario), Kathleen Wynne (Premier of Ontario), John Tory (Mayor of Toronto), and all members of Toronto City Council. I hope that they will ensure that all future rental properties designate a certain number of units as 'affordable housing units,' which will only be available to citizens below a certain income level. Furthermore, in order to prevent the individuals who rent these properties from being evicted should their income level rise, I ask the government to propose a feasible way to proportionally increase rent on these properties as the individual's income increases.

This gentle comedy by Tim Firth has been 20 years in the making, the ideas for the first and second acts coming to him two decades apart. And it shows.
Though the two acts are only set three years apart, not 20, such is the contrast between the two that it at first seems like watching a different play. Indeed, when the interval lights come up, you would be forgiven for thinking that Firth has written a bijou one-act play that has been rounded off nicely. In fact, he returns following the interval with a contrasting act which complements the first whilst turning it on its head.
It opens on the rooftop of an office building where sign-installer Frank (Matthew Kelly) is a attempting to assemble the giant letters of a sign which will broadcast its message to the Yorkshire town of Batley some 60 feet below. He is aided – or hindered – by 16-year-old work experience boy Alan (Gerard Kearns). Frank fancies himself a crime writer, and composes prose into his Dictaphone at every opportunity; Alan, meanwhile, is a picture of disinterest, earphones jammed in his ears and hands in his pockets. But our initial assumptions about them are dispelled when it turns out Alan may be the true visionary of the pair, with Frank merely a petty pedant stuck on the treadmill.
Act two's role reversal – played out on Morgan Large's equally back to front set – sees Alan, now 19, a 'trainee assistant deputy manager' at an electronics firm, where he inhabits a depressingly grubby office in the back end of the building. Frank, now unemployed, turns up at Alan's office on a dole queue scheme intended to give those close to retirement a 'second chance' at work. Via an increasingly farcical plot set-up, we come to understand that Alan is now trapped in a net of walkie-talkies and pretentious acronyms, while Frank has been set free by his redundancy to indulge his artistic passions.
With a message of following your dreams and staying true to yourself, Firth's play is hardly revelatory, but it keeps the attention with solid performances from both actors, particularly Kearns in his West End debut. Though the comedy at times strays into punch-line territory, there are some genuinely funny moments, including the assertion that the words 'jumper' and 'casserole' have no place in a novel title. I would like to see an author try.

Maintaining good sanitation throughout production and handling of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries is important. It is vital that growers and, in turn, their employees understand just how critical any food poisoning outbreak could be to their livelihoods. Pathogens harmful to humans can be transmitted by direct contact (infected employees or animals) or through contaminated water or soil. Once a fruit is infected, pathogens are difficult or impossible to remove. Only thorough cooking (or other similar treatment, such as pasteurization) will reliably neutralize pathogens. Fruits that are field-packed without washing have a higher likelihood of reaching consumers with field contamination. This document focuses on how to best reduce contamination.
Increasingly, fresh produce growers, packers and sellers are being asked to prepare and maintain written Recall Programs. Elements for FDA "Product Recalls" are in 21CFR7.40, et. seq. Adopting that statutory approach to create Fresh Produce Recall Programs may help the Fresh Produce Industry convert public concern into strategic aid.

Logan Paul has revealed that a documentary which addresses his suicide forest scandal in January is currently in the works. In a recent video, Paul explained that the documentary would explain where he was at in his life and the "psyche of what actually happened", which includes his upbringing.
"We're actually filming a documentary about everything that has happened this year, all the stuff that went down in January, where I was at in my life and the psyche of what actually happened, which includes my upbringing," the full statement read.
The move to film a documentary has also copped flak from netizens, who accused Paul of not learning and reflecting from what had happened and instead, monetising his bad behaviour. Some also raised concerns that the documentary would be biased and might painting Paul as the victim.
That being said, there are many potential reasons why Paul is choosing now to debut the documentary, David Lian, managing director of Zeno Malaysia said in a statement to Marketing. This includes furthering his narrative like what netizens are saying or something more personal like wanting to explain his actions as he felt misunderstood. Choosing not to do it earlier might have also been the result of waiting for the fire to die down so everything he did would not come across too obvious as a knee-jerk reaction, Lian explained.
"Social media has had a huge impact on the art of storytelling and the platforms it operates in, perhaps this documentary could be a way for Paul to engage his followers and the public on the matter," Lian said, adding:
His status as a content creator also allows him to better leverage the storytelling process.
Meanwhile Lee Nugent, regional director APAC, Text100 also said that through the move, Paul will indeed have full control of the narrative and tone of his film. However, that level of control comes with responsibility. "We will need to wait and see if he uses that responsibility wisely to reflect on the bad decisions he made previously, or if he uses it to try and excuse his behaviour," Nugent said.
Documentaries not a new PR move
Paul's move to film a documentary is also not a new one and comes on the back of other YouTube content creators who are leveraging this content type as a tool for PR recovery. For example, Shane Dawson, who was embroiled in the recent TanaCon debacle which was flaked for poor organisation, released a documentary series on the event to distance himself from the saga.
As documentaries are examples of long form content, using the format for image recovery is not necessarily a new move, say players in the field. According to Lian, it is often a method that both communications professionals as well as client use to accurately frame or portray a specific scenario or rationale towards a decision.
For example, there were documentaries which emerged following the Gulf explosion which involved BP, which allowed the company to explain the incident in more detail – what were the causes, new precautions and measures being taken afterwards.
A documentary is also an opportunity for the brand to demonstrate how it was acting responsibly throughout the crisis.
Agreeing with Lian, Nugent added that long form films have not only been used as PR tools, but also often to support a point of view or a desire to educate an audience on a particular matter.
Some examples include climate change film An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore and Michael Moore's anti-gun documentary Bowling for Columbine. Similarly, famed media executive Steve Bannon has also made documentaries which support his point of view – which has also been characterised as "slanted", or many say "dangerously biased".
"As such, individuals, brands, campaigning organisations and more can absolutely use long and short form documentary films as a tool to educate. However, these films have to be responsible, transparent, authentic and truthful," Nugent said, adding:
In any form of communication including the use of documentaries, the key here is to have honesty and transparency.
Earlier this year, Paul landed himself in PR hot water when he uploaded a graphic video containing the body of a suicide victim, which was also included in the video's thumbnail. Following the move, YouTube condemned Paul's actions, removed his channels from Google Preferred and from YouTube's Originals series which he was starring in.
Although Paul had apologised for his actions, YouTube was also thrust into the spotlight for allowing the graphic video to appear on its top trending videos page. The debacle also prompted YouTube to reveal three new measures six days after in a bid to tighten its control on how its videos are monetised on the platform. This included stricter criteria for monetisation on YouTube, more content vetting on its Google Preferred program and simpler and more transparent controls over ad placement.
