LG G2 volume rocker on back leaks for Korean LG U+
Well, it looks like all the hot upcoming devices have decided to leak today, folks. After the Sony Honami, which we have just told you about, it is now time for the LG Optimus G2 to show up. The G2 is a unique smartphone that comes with volume controls on the back, and this is the first time we get to see it fully functioning on a carrier network.
The LG G2 in the image is a version specific for Korean carrier LG U+ and carries the model number LG-F320L, looks pretty similar to earlier leaks of the rumored international Optimus G2.
The image confirms the weird placement of the volume rocker on the back, as well as other two details: the fact that the phone will have 2GB of RAM (instead of the rumored 3GB), and the fact that it will sport a 2540mAh battery.
The rest of the specs remain at the rumor level and include a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, a 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 Full HD IPS display,a 13-megapixels camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), dual speakers,Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, Smart DMB (Digital multimedia broadcasting) support, LTE-Advanced support as well as built-in wireless charging.
LG is expected to make the phone official on August 7th.

Which country are you from, I asked her as I stepped into the lift. I am from Sweden she said and what about you? As I shared my longing to see the northern lights in her country, she spoke about her love for Indian food. And before we knew, my floor had arrived.
I am from Serbia shared Mira, as she opened the door to show us the lounge facing the beach. It is a small country in Eastern Europe. Is it close to Croatia I asked her and learnt that both Serbia and Croatia were actually the same country like India and Pakistan before disagreements among the people led to their separation. When asked about the Indian origin of her name, she shared that Mira comes from the Slavic word Miru which means peace. She told us that there is resemblance in her language and in ours. I understood then why they say that Sanskrit is the root of all languages.
As if the taxi driver got my cue, this time I was asked if I am from Egypt! It was hard for the lad from Bangladesh to believe that I am from India.
That evening we met Khashim from Egypt. He had worked with Expedia and then moved to hospitality for better opportunities. As he guided us through the beach resort, I learnt that the BPO industry was flourishing in Egypt just like in India because of low costs of human capital.
As he handed me the lush Lotus flavored gelato, I couldn't stop myself from asking which country he is from. I am from Cameroon in Africa. Oh, I was fascinated. I have read Paul Theroux's book, The Last Train to Zona Verde and told him about it. While he had not heard the name of this place, Africa has more than 50 countries he shared.
Were you at the Bob Marley concert last night, he asked me. He assumed I was a fan from a tee I was wearing. While I wasn't at that concert, I had plans to listen to Lucky Ali perform with Ayushmann Khurrana. The guy from Serbia was fascinated to know about musicians from India.
As he hailed a taxi for me, outside the hotel, I asked him which country he was from. Nigeria he shared. Oh I recently met someone from Cameroon I told him and he beamed. They speak French there while we don't. With that he bid me farewell.
After a sumptuous meal of California Guacamole salad at The Cheesecake Factory, I spoke to the head chef of the similarity of the salad with Bhel Puri in India. This tangy sweet spicy mix of taco like puris, some freshly cut onions, tomatoes, boiled potatoes with tamarind and coriander chutney; topped with some fine crispy semolina. We learnt that while the restaurant is headquartered in USA, their flavours are influenced from around the globe.
Then I met Barbara, a triathlete who had run, cycled and swum in countries across the globe! She could repair a cycle with the deftness of a pro. A German by origin, it was fascinating to hear her experience of mountain biking across Fujihara up north, in the desert mountains.
Then I met Wafaa and absolutely loved her name. My delight knew no bounds when she told me she is from Morocco. It's a dreamy place in my mind, with these photogenic markets, a rich heritage in textiles and ceramic arts, yummy food with flavors of Europe and Asia.
A visit to a lounge one night introduced me to a lady bartender. Fascinated as she whipped up one drink after another, she shared that she is from Burma. Conversations flowed around music, my city Bombay and the art of mixology.
To satisfy our late night cravings, the coffee shop in the hotel with red velvet cheesecake seemed the perfect venue. The girl serving us the awesomeness is from Ukraine. I empathised with the situation in her country and learnt that they are keen on the peace prevailing at the earliest.
Amidst stories from Tunisia and Philippines, India and China; Dubai makes a fantastic Bhel Puri (blend) of people from over 100 countries; lending it a fun flavour. To more such travel stories in the days to come.

ONION LAKE FIRST NATION, SASKATCHEWAN--(Marketwire - Aug. 13, 2009) - The Honourable Chuck Strahl, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Metis and Non-Status Indians, attended the closing ceremonies of the Saskatchewan First Nation Summer Games, August 9-13, at Onion Lake First Nation.
"Our government recognizes that strong youth lead to strong communities," said Minister Strahl. "That is why we are proud to invest in events such as these games where youth learn important values and life skills."
Aboriginal youth repesent the fastest growing population group in Canada. Just recently, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada invested in two new education programs - the Education Partnerships Program and the First Nation Student Success Program - setting the foundation for long-term improvement in First Nation education.
Youth engagement in their communities through sport has been shown to improve classroom achievement and overall academic success.
Indian and Northern Affairs Canada contributed $250,000 toward the 2009 Saskatchewan First Nation Summer Games, which involved more than 4,000 athletes, aged 10-17, and 500 volunteers. The week-long event was hosted by the Onion Lake First Nation in cooperation with the City of Lloydminster and Sandy Beach Regional Park.
Saskatchewan First Nation Winter and Summer Games were initiated in 1974 as a way to encourage greater participation among First Nation youth in sports, promote healthy lifestyles and community involvement. Athletes came from all parts of Saskatchewan to represent their communities and tribal councils and to compete in six different sports during the Games.

After her success with Lacrosse, Savanna decided to try her hand at field hockey. She joined the middle school team having never played before; she has picked up basics of the game pretty quickly and done very well... plus she really enjoys it.
She plays for both the 7th and 8th grade teams because she volunteered to play goalie. She didn't want the only other girl who volunteered to have to do it all the time, so she said she would learn the position. The coach says she is very intuitive and she has made a number of great saves! She is learning, and so is the team... so in terms of wins, well...
I think she enjoys both playing the field and being in the goal. Between practies and games she plays every day after school- so we have been busy! Wes really likes that she is goalie since he can help with the goalie gear (and wear the gloves and/or helmet) after games!
And another thing:
She is #1

Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video PRICEMAT: Calculating the price of a security that pays interest at maturity, part of Excel 2010: Financial Functions.
One common type of investment is a bond that pays interest at maturity.…If you want to evaluate one of these bonds you can calculate its price per $100…of redemption value by using the PRICEMAT function.…The PRICEMAT function requires the following six bits of information.…Those are the settlement date and that is the date that you take control of the investment.…The maturity date which is the last day of the investment when all money is due…are payable, then the issue date and this is the first day that the bond was…initiated, so it's the day that it was first available for sale.…
Then the discount rate which is the interest rate applied to the bond funds.…Then the yield which is the amount of the bond pays per year.…and then finally the basis.…Basis is the way you count days in a month and in a year.…The North American standard, which would be option 0, is for a 30 day a month and…12 months a year for a 360 day year.…In this case, we are going to use option number 1 which counts actual days.…

New ship was launched to the Volga
Today a new ship was launched to the Volga river. The experienced sailors didn't conn the ship. Young sailors did that. There were a dress uniform, an orchestra and invited guests. There has not been such solemn event in Children's Sea Center after Ushakov yet. And only because the young sailors were presented with a ship.

You knew this had to happen:
"There's a great relationship that can be had in marriage, and then there is a sexual relationship between a man and woman that happens within the boundaries of marriage, and God says that that's good," explains Russ Bennett, the Lead Pastor with Cornerstone Church.
The church is not condemning people who read the book, but they are taking a stand against the message in '50 Shades of Grey.'
"God has a different ideal, or idea on sex, on romance and on love," adds Bennett.
Because if anyone knows about good sex, it's the people running the anti-birth-control, pro-abstinence, gay-people-kissing-is-icky church.

MK Dons were looking for their first away points of the season as they travelled to Chesterfield's Proact Stadium, and managed to pick up all three in a tight encounter.
An exciting first half saw a change in style for Robinson's side, a long ball to Arsenal loanee Benik Afobe the main focus with the Dons missing key attacker Danny Green through a hamstring injury.
Among many chances at either end of the pitch Ben Reeves sliced an early Dons chance wide while Sam Hird headed wastefully wide for the hosts before the break.
Come half-time the Dons were forced into their first change, Ian McLoughlin replacing the impressive David Martin in the Dons goal following an earlier challenge from Roberts.
The previously ineffective Afobe looked revitalised in the second half when he picked the ball up, drove at the Spireites' defence and fired an unstoppable effort past Lee from the edge of the area (49), an example of what he is truly capable of with his second goal for the Dons.
But not everything was plain sailing for MK as they were dealt a further injury blow shortly afterwards when Hodson had to be stretchered off, with George Baldock replacing him at right-back – the injury list already starting to build so early in the season.
As the clock ticked towards the hour mark, referee Drysdale waved away what seemed to be strong penalty appeals when Powell appeared to be brought down by Lee inside the area.
Afobe continued to look dangerous and missed two great chances to seal victory -misjudging a great pass from Reeves and deflected shot fired straight into the arms of the home goalkeeper.
Chesterfield pressed for the leveller, with Ian Evatt heading over in injury time, but the Dons defence held strong to gain its first clean sheet of the season, helped by the ever-improving centre-back duo of McFadzean and Kay.
Overall a well-deserved result for the Dons against a dangerous Chesterfield side, lifting them to 4th in the early unformed league table – a position they'll be vying to maintain or even surpass following a generally strong set of opening games.
This site is looking for bloggers, so if you're a fan that can offer us a genuine opinion we would love to share it with the masses!

We about 7 of us and just happened to be my managers birthday also. Now normally Iam happy with a hotdog because Europe is Jus with their prices, but we were lekker jolly with a par doppe in and checked out this trendy restaurant. So we check the menu and Reindeer grabbed our attention. I thought fok it "when in Sweden......" So one course Reindeer and a local beer and we all happy. Good company beautiful wife what more can a man ask for? Yoor bra then it hit us. We got the bill and took out our Swedish Kroner. Now we all in lekker company and no one wants to say anything but SEK 661.00 is equal to USD 100 which equals to Rand R775 per fokken meal. Wait up now. When I said reindeer I did not say go to the North Pole and assassinate the one and only Rudolf from Santas fleet! I was happy with just plain old pavement special reindeer. What were these Okes thinking?
Here Iam about to strip my moer but Iam manager so have to speel lanie also. Adding insult to injury we all realized we were still hungry after THE most expensive one course meal we ever had. We walked out of that lions den of a restaurant crossed the road and went straight into McDonalds to stuff ourselves with burgers & fries. Yes that cost us another SEK 132 = USD 20 = R150 each.
Moral of the story is dont brek/brag about "money is not an issue" when in a first world country because you will see your bum! (jy sal jou gat sien!)

However, he was very cautious. He did not send any more men to check the situation out. Instead, he made a very smart choice, sending the dean of Shen Yanxiao's former school.
Ouyang Huanyu was not only her former dean but also a powerful Magician who held the respect of various elites that had been cultivated in the Holy Roland School for many years. He also had a highly respected position in the Long Xuan Empire and his manner was steady. He had always been revered by others.
Asking such a person to go to the Barren Land, the Emperor could be considered wise.
Even if Shen Yanxiao really had any sinister thoughts, she would never start with Ouyang Huanyu.
Holy Roland School had been established for a thousand years, and Ouyang Huanyu had been Dean of the Holy Roland School for almost a hundred years. A strong man like him was no longer restricted by a hundred years of age. His longevity had led him to train numerous talents over the years. These elites from the Holy Roland School were scattered throughout the Long Xuan Empire. They had absolute respect and love for Ouyang Huanyu.
If Shen Yanxiao made a move against Ouyang Huanyu, it would certainly lead to the revenge of those desperate elites.
On the other hand, the Emperor was likely to think that Shen Yanxiao, like those people, also respected Ouyang Huanyu, so he had made this decision.
Unfortunately, Shen Yanxiao was an exception.
Of course, she wouldn't be provoking Ouyang Huanyu. After all, the background of this person was really too mysterious. She had always been reluctant to believe that his ident.i.ty was only as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Could a mere dean of a school actually extend his influence to the land of Lan Yue Dynasty? Wasn't that too ridiculous?
Shen Yanxiao smirked inwardly, but on the surface, she was very casual, "The State Preceptor Pei Yuan and Prince Long Yue are now in my Rising Sun City as distinguished guests. I don't know what the Emperor wants the dean to say to them."
"Just a few words of concern. You know that the Emperor only has Prince Long Yue, this one son. Naturally, he attaches great importance to him. Long Yue rarely left the Imperial Capital. But this time, he lived in The Rising Sun City for more than two months already, but he still did not return. It's natural for the Emperor to miss him." Ouyang Huanyu's words were rigorous as if it would really be just a greeting from a father who missed his son.
However, Shen Yanxiao was not stupid enough to believe these hypocritical words.
Greetings, huh? I'm afraid that the Emperor has begun to suspect that his son is under house arrest by me, but he's suffering from having no evidence. So he allowed Ouyang Huanyu to check the actual situation.
"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Yanxiao secretly clenched her fist. Although Pei Yuan and Long Yue had a loose att.i.tude now, she could not guarantee that they would not tell the truth to Ouyang Huanyu. After all, they were really under house arrest. Pei Yuan's compromise before was simply because she had forced him into a situation with no alternatives.
If they see Ouyang Huanyu at this time, I wonder if they will have a different move.
However, if she did not allow Ouyang Huanyu to see them, it meant indirectly confirming the Emperor's speculation. For now, The Rising Sun City was not yet completed; if the Emperor wanted to make a move against her, although she could resist and take Long Yue hostage, there was still Shen Feng in the faraway Imperial Capital...
"Of course, I'll just say a few words. If the State Preceptor Pei Yuan and the Prince like, they can continue to live here." Ouyang Huanyu said.
"Then later, I'll take the dean to see them both." Shen Yanxiao finally decided to let Ouyang Huanyu meet with Pei Yuan and the Prince. But when the time came, she must be prepared just in case something not in her favor would really happen.TEASER
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry." Ouyang Huanyu smiled and seemed to be in no hurry to see Pei Yuan and Long Yue.
Shen Yanxiao did not say anything, but Ouyang Huanyu seemed to have something to say to her.
"In principle, you were a student from Holy Roland School and I was your dean. I'm sorry for the situations you have suffered. If there is anything I can help you with, you can tell me. Although this old bones of mine are not much of a big deal, it can still block the wind and rain for my student." Ouyang Huanyu's tone suddenly became milder, and he looked at Shen Yanxiao with pity.

Farewell David, you'll be missed. January last year was the anniversary of one of the most surreal music performances in TV story: 35 years ago David Bowie ushered the 1980s in Saturday Night Live. The producers censored a gay reference in the last of his three-song set—but they missed him repeatedly showing a giant penis at the end of it. [NSFW-ish]
Bowie's set for the show—which was hosted by actor Martin Sheen—started with his now classic The Man Who Sold the World followed by TVC 15. Everything was fine through those. It was kind of weird and out of the typical SNL act [we can see these days], but there was nothing that a crusty person would find offensive in one of the square states. Then it came the last song: Boys Keep Swinging.
Apparently, someone in the production thought that a verse was way too offensive for national TV: "When you're a boy, other boys check you out!" was not something you could say in turn-of-the-70s America because boys couldn't be gay anywhere else outside New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles, those dirty deviants. Lyrics in hand, ready to push the censorship button, some operator silenced "other boys check you out."
Thus, the potential national crisis was averted. Until Bowie took out his giant penis. Not his own but a giant plastic phallus that came out of the pants of the puppet he was operating in his green screen suit during his performance. He didn't just took it out once or twice. He moved it up and down several times as the song reached its final climax. We don't know if it was a "fuck you" because he knew of the censoring beforehand or if he had planned it from the beginning. It doesn't matter. It was hilarious all the same.
Unlike the gay reference, the flaunting was not censored. I imagine that the control completely missed it or, since they weren't expecting such a display, they didn't have time to black out this part of the transmission. Whatever it was, I'm glad it survived. The Man Who Sold the World
Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) take us behind the scenes on one of Bowie's more flamboyant costumes for his infamous Saturday Night Live performance with Klaus Nomi.

How Should the U.S. and Mexico Manage Their Transboundary Water Quality?by David Eaton,
Mark Killgore,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: World Water & Environmental Resources Congress 2003
The purpose of this workshop is to discuss with ASCE members the progress in developing a Standards document and Management Plan document associated with water quality management across international boundaries, a task associated with the Management Plan Subcommittee (MPS) of the Border International Water Quality Standards Committee (BIWQ) of EWRI. The MPS reported in Traverse City on an initial draft of ideas for a management plan. In Philadelphia the MPS will report on a complete draft of two documents, a Standards document and a Management Plan document. The goal of the session is to discuss the contents, with the intention of moving forward to develop a consensus document that could be brought through the ballot process. A copy of the proposed drafts will be circulated among BIWQ members prior to the meeting to facilitate a productive discussion.

A picture of one of our neighbor's house during a blowing snow storm. Our first real snow of the year. The picture was for the family Christmas card.
Male cardinal feeding in the snow.
Blowing snow only seems to make the birds hungrier.
This is a monument to Robert E. Perry, who discovered the North Pole on April 6, 1909. The statue is located in Cresson, PA where he was born in 1856. Unfortunately this monument to one of the great adventurers in American history is not very well maintained.
Located directly across the street from the Perry monument, is Mount Aloysius College, locally known as The Mount. Originally founded in 1848 in Loretto, it was moved to it's present site in 1897. In the spring of 2000, the college's charter was amended to include a Masters' degree. This picture shows the main college building.
You don't find this kind of Christmas display in downtown Harrisburg, the capital of the state of Pennyslvania. This is rural Pennsylvania.
Cambria Heights buses get a good scrubbing after a couple of days of driving on snow and salt covered roads.
The Bakerton boney pile continues to disappear. Each layer hides the road that allows the trucks to move from the top to the bottom.
Several months ago we showed a picture of new windows being installed in the 1925 Carrolltown Sshool building which now houses the borough offices and town library. This photo shows the completed new look.
I can't explain it but somehow this junk yard, along Number 9 Road in Susquehanna Township has escaped the wrath of the township supervisors and the State of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Harry meets Sally.
Three Horses.
House finch.

» » » Dancer Resume Objective
Education and Training: There is no universal educational requirement for becoming a dancer. Most start dancing as a childhood hobby and then get serious about pursuing it as a career when they get older. Professional dancing requires a strong passion for the art and many years of dedicated practice. Some begin purpose-driven training at the tender age of five and reach a professional level of skill by 18.
I'm a belly dancer – have been for 40 plus years. I've done the gamut – danced in every nightclub and restaurant I could get my hands on, took my costume to every place I traveled in hopes of dancing there, traveled around the world and added countries to my dance resume (including Antarctica), worked for entertainment agencies, and promoted myself on my own to my friends, family and co-workers.
Good luck with the Dancer resume sample.
Next, consider the fact that employers are interested only in finding what you can do for them. If you read resume writing tips, you will find that a little research about the company you are applying to would help in creating a specific dancer resume.
A dance resume provides information about your dance skills, experience and accomplishments. Dance studio owners, casting directors, choreographers and dance school committees often require resumes to gauge a dancer's suitability for dance programs and dance jobs. The format and structure of a dance resume is usually different from that of a standard professional resume. Get started with Step 1 below to find some tips for writing a dance resume.First, consider the dancer resume as your audition package. A well-written and neatly formatted resume will help in highlighting your skills for the position. It should focus on what you are best at. Since lots of people have accepted dance as their career, the competition in this artistic field is monstrous. If you want to prevail over others, make the dancer resume persuasive to top the selection list.

Senior Portrait Planning
These suggestions will help make your senior portrait the best that can be.
If you are scheduled at 3:00 PM, please arrive a few minutes early and be ready for your portrait.
Avoid stripes and plaid! Solid colors photograph much better. Bring a variety of color, (please don't bring 3 blue outfits even if it is your favorite color.) Avoid clothing that has wording on it except for your own school logo. Vary the style, all one look gets boring. Vary the dress level, bring some dressy and some casual. Some shots are close up, others are full length. Plan outfits completely. It is hard to do a full length formal in your suit if all you brought was big old tennis shoes. Group your outfits together on HANGERS as not to wrinkle. Remember that clothing changes take away from camera time….
Avoid changing your hairstyle or cutting your hair right before your session, let it be natural. Quick easy hairstyle changes during your session are OK. Bring your hair care tools and products with you if need be. Although our photographer tries to help with hair, it is hard to know what your hair style preferences are. Hair style is ultimately YOUR responsibility.
Best tip here, keep it simple. We want the attention to be on you. Big, shiny jewelry can distract from the real subject, YOU. If you have jewelry for different outfits, put each set of jewelry in a plastic baggy and hang it on the hanger with that outfit.
BRING THEM! Bring props that help distinguish who you are. Some popular choices are: Sports equipment: soccer ball, football, hockey stick, hurdle etc…Also may we suggest sports uniforms: musical instruments or any hobbies that you are in, you name it! Why not even bring your car!
Most glasses glare; some prescriptions more than others. It would be preferable to see your optometrist. Most will "loan" you frames, without lenses, similar to yours for your photo session. Please keep in mind that outdoors glasses will also glare and reflect.
AVOID SUNBURN! Sunburn and peeling skin DO NOT photograph well! Digital enhancement costs apply to remove from your finished portrait.
We retouch blemishes, so don't work about breakouts. (Scars may be digitally removed on request).
Pets are OK as long as they are house broken. It is required that you bring a friend or family member to care for your pet before we photograph them with you, and then leave with them after. You may also bring a pet carrier/crate to contain them while you are being photographed without them. Treats can be helpful to hold a pet's attention.
Friends and/or parents are welcome. They can be a help. HOWEVER, if they distract you, it is best to have them wait in the lobby. You can have a couple of shots with a boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend or sibling at no extra charge.
Let's face it, we are at the mercy of mother nature. If it rains, no amount of worry with help, we will give you the royal treatment in our new 4 set camera room. You will be amazed at the portraits we can create indoors!
TATOOS, SCARS and BRACES:
Just let the photographer know if you want tattoos to show or not. It is that easy. Scars are not automatically retouched, but can be removed or softened at your request. Extensive work may have a slight extra charge. Braces? Don't worry. You could have the tops taken off for your photo session, or they can be* digitally removed. But don't fight smiling, a smile showing braces, is better than holding back a smile. (Digital enhancement costs apply)
Here is a list of particulars that young ladies should be aware of. There are certain things girls should be aware of and watch for in their preparation:
clothing styles
Wear clothes that make you feel good. White or pastel colors are perfect for lighter backgrounds. Casual outfits and earth tones work best for outdoor portraits. Try to avoid plaids or prints. Be careful of baggy clothes that might make you look larger than you are. Make sure your clothing flatters you. If you think you have large arms, be careful of sleeveless styles. They can make your arms look fuller. We don't really tell you what you can and cannot wear, but your school may require specific clothing. What one person likes may not be appropriate for the next person. Our philosophy is to dress appropriately, as long as it is rated PG, we are ok with it.
clothes for black & white
The black and white look that is so popular is best with black clothing. The contrast between the skin and black is what makes them so dramatic. Dark bottoms are also in order.
finger and toenails show!
If the paint is chipped or nails broken, it will show. Many casual shots are done barefoot, so don't forget about those toes! Avoid real bright colors. Natural or basic nail color work best. We don't want to draw attention to your neon orange toe nails.
tan & strap marks
Tan lines are not attractive in portraits. We suggest you vary your swimsuit top to minimize any tan marks. Remember to not overdo your tanning. Skin that looks like dark leather is not the most attractive.
Makeup should only be slightly heavier than normal, (preferably evening make up).
Bring the right shoes for the outfits. Docs or sandals photograph much better than big, bright tennis shoes.Bring a dark t-shirt to wear under dark shirts. A white t-shirt triangle under a dark shirt sticks out like a sore thumb. So bring a black or gray. Avoid large, bold brand names or words on clothing. No need to make your portraits advertising billboards for a clothing brand.
Please make sure you are clean shaven. Retouching stubble costs are extra and still does not look as good as a clean shave. Got a goatee that mom hates but you love? Do your casual shots first with it on, then bring a razor and go to the rest room and shave it off for mom's formals. Everyone is happy that way!
Be careful of changes right before your session. Bleached hair does not photograph well. It is a short lived trend and you may find it looking real silly once thetrend is gone. Natural or maybe frosted tips are better than the white, totally bleached look. You may not even have that style at the end of the year.

The Dirt Forum for More Information
Final five dates added to National Modified Series VINTON, Iowa (April 17) - And finally there are 25... The last five races have been added to the I.M.C.A. National Modified Series, including the first event in Canada. That puts the total number of series events at 25, with the race at Beatrice, Neb., already in the books. The storied Knoxville, Iowa, Raceway hosts the first of the new additions with the Thursday, July 19 Harris Clash. All four of the other races are in September, on Friday, Sept. 21 at the Williston Basin Speedway in Williston, N.D., Satur-day, Sept. 22 at Estevan Motor Speedway in Estevan, Saskatchewan, and Sunday, Sept. 23 at Nodak Speedway in Minot, N.D. Rounding out the newly-announced events is the Sunday, Sept. 30 series date at Fulton Speedway in Fulton, N.Y. "The Harris Clash is a natural fit for this series," I.M.C.A. Vice President of Operations Brett Root said. "The addition of the two events in North Dakota and one in Canada give drivers in that area the opportunity to be part of the series without having to travel across the country." "Harvey Fink was the first promoter in New York to run I.M.C.A.-sanctioned Modifieds," Root added. "We're glad he can be part of this series." The series is scheduled to end Oct. 19-21 at the Abilene, Texas, Speedway. Using the same 40-point system applied to regular season standings, drivers' 10 best finishes will determine standings for the series. The National Modified Series championship is worth $2,000. More than $10,000 will be paid out to the top 20 drivers in the final point standings.

On calm days, when no tourists are visiting the farm and the usual daywork is done, "snowwork" is one of the activities still waiting to be done. It simply means to remove disturbing snow from one place and put it to another. Today it had to be done in the fences. It's a great entertainment for the dogs and one of the most annoying things I did so far. The aim is to find the little wooden huskyhouses and free them from ice and snow. Sometimes you can hardly see them anymore. Just the dog's snouts or a pair of this beautiful eyes stick out from dark holes in the snowy hills. Indeed this work has to be done quite often; about once every 1-2 weeks depending on the snowfall. The snow becomes a thick ice layer after a couple of days and it requires a lot of physical strength and patience to remove it from there. The dogs are happy and take it as a game trying to catch your cap, hair, gloves,... whatever they can get jumping around you requesting penetrantly your attention. The braver ones even tried to get on my back when I ,deeply afflicted, belabored their houses.They didn't run today, so they had even more energy then usually.These sweet huskies are really lovely and always happy, if they can stay with you. I think they love their caretakers and I'm sure they are admired and beloved by the Erä-susi people. In any case the dogs receive a fondly and respectful treatment.
We freed the entrance and the small wooden platform of the house which is used by the dogs as an openair sleeping platform and works also as the canopy of the entrance. Actually when its not that cold the huskies tend to sleep outside. After a running session yesterday I saw a lot of them lying directly in the snow, sometimes partly covered with it, sleeping curled up. But since it is so cold in these days at least the older, often yet retired dogs and the puppies spend a lot of time in their shelters, which are filled with straw. It looks so cosy inside. What a pity that I'm much too big to slip in and hide there together with them.
|almost "snowfreed"
|The human houses has to be "snowworked" as well from time to time.
Since we had time today, my team members exploited the calm to introduce me into the caring of ill dogs. It happens quite often that the dogs hurt themselves.Sometimes during the training or the safaris, sometimes because of fight about food, etc. among each other....Infact a lot of dogs have scars around the snout, lost an ear or have scars left from other bite wounds.It happens.I was explained that often it looks worser than it actually is ,due to the fact that the blood spread out in the fur and gets frozen.It looks like if they were bleeding 'everywhere'. Normally their thick fur protects them from serious injuries.Dogs don't fight to kill, the just figure out who is the stronger one. Obviously the team pays attention to the security and the health of the dogs, too. But sometimes one gets seriously injured anyway. In order to be able to watch after the dog and handle the wounds properly the dog is taken to a stable. Separated from the others its wounds can heal preventing infections, since the other dogs can' t lick the wound or dirt can't come in. Right now Ukkonen (Finnish for thunder ) lives in the stable. He has a deep injury on his chest right behind his left foreleg. It's actually really serious-you can see the muscle...
It has to be washed several times a day with an idioferous tincture mixed by whoever takes care of Ukkonen that day. A tricky concern since obviously nobody wants to risk to poison him.
I'm not able to stay outside longer than 2-3 hours. Then I have to warm up with a nice warm tea and I need to put my feet on the heater. Even though I put the lent boots, I guess cold feet are now part of my life. Something one can hopefully get used to.
I will soon have 2 days off. I will dedicate one of them to take pictures of the dogs and write exclusively about them.
knowledge of the day: Don't forget to bring your sun cream! Even if the sun comes out just for a couple of hours a day, in combination with the snow it's still enough to slightly burn your skin...
|The safari house from the backside.

You may have an RStudio license that requires you to report a peak number of annual named users. (Or you may just be curious about how many users are accessing your analytic tools). Named Users are publishers of content or have authenticated access to published content. Learn how to count named users for RStudio Connect and RStudio Server Pro.
Named Users in RStudio Connect
Most RStudio Connect installations consist of one or more servers that share a database of content and users. RStudio Connect admins can visit the Admin Dashboard's Metrics page to view a graph of "Active Users" over time.
For RStudio license reporting, select "1 Year" for the graph duration, and then report the number of active users recorded in the dashboard.
In some scenarios, there may be separate RStudio Connect installations. For example, a consulting firm may have an RStudio Connect installation dedicated to each client. In this case, visit the dashboard for each unique RStudio Connect installation and total the number of "Active Users" in the past year. This method may double count some users, e.g. consultants that have accounts on different client servers. Normally, double counting will not affect your licensing tier. If you are concerned about double counting, you can dump user data with the usermanager list command and use R to identify the unique users over the last year.
The RStudio Connect People dashboard provides RStudio Connect administrators information about users such as the last time they were actively logged in as well as their license status. RStudio Connect admins can lock a user to prevent the user from counting against the license using the web dashboard or usermanager command.
Named Users in RStudio Server Pro
If you have a named user license for RStudio Server Pro, it is critical that you enable the session audit log immediately upon installing RStudio Server Pro.
To do so, follow these instructions:
1. Edit /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf to include:
2. Restart RStudio Server Pro:
sudo rstudio-server stop; sudo rstudio-server start;
Ensure that session auditing is enabled for every RStudio Server Pro instance. When it is time to report named users, first copy the session audit log /var/lib/rstudio-server/audit/r-sessions/r-sessions.csv to a central directory for analysis. Copy the audit logs from each RStudio Server Pro instance.
Within the directory containing the audit logs, use R to identify the unique named users over the last year. Sample R code is below:
require(tidyverse) require(lubridate) require(glue) named_users <- map_df(list.files(".", "*\\.csv"), readr::read_csv) %>% mutate(time = as_datetime(timestamp/1e3)) %>% filter(time >= today() - dyears(1)) %>% filter(type == " session_start") %>% select(username) %>% unique() %>% nrow() glue('Thanks for using RStudio! This server has had {named_users} named users since {today() - dyears(1)}.')
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com if you need assistance calculating the number of named users.

|<nettime-ann> [ann] March on -empyre- : Is Modernity our Antiquity?
. March 2006 on -empyre- soft-skinned space: Is Modernity our Antiquity? (for the Documenta 12 Magazine Project) Please join the conversation this month at www.subtle.net/empyre, with special guests Christoph Bruno (FR), Erik Kluitenberg (NL), Christiane Paul (US), Dirk Vekemans (BE), and as moderator/guest, Christina McPhee (US) Is Modernity our Antiquity? It is fairly obvious that modernity, or modernity's fate, exerts a profound influence on contemporary artists. Part of that attraction may stem from the fact that no one really knows if modernity is dead or alive. It seems to be in ruins after the totalitarian catastrophes of the 20th century (the very same catastrophes to which it somehow gave rise). It seems utterly compromised by the brutally partial application of its universal demands (liberte, egalite, fraternite) or by the simple fact that modernity and coloniality went, and probably still go, hand in hand. Still, people's imaginations are full of modernity's visions and forms (and I mean not only Bauhaus but also arch-modernist mind-sets transformed into contemporary catchwords like "identity" or "culture"). In short, it seems that we are both outside and inside modernity, both repelled by its deadly violence and seduced by its most immodest aspiration or potential: that there might, after all, be a common planetary horizon for all the living and the dead. --Roger Beurgel, artistic director of Documenta 12 A bit of background: Documenta, the festival of art that occurs every five years in Kassel, has invited all of us at the -empyre- list to participate in a formal discussion around three questions, or leitmotifs, throughout this year. This month is the launch of our participation in this project, which will continue in July and November 2006, again with topics selected by the Documenta team. All over the world, some seventy online and print journals will initiate dialogue around three core questions; the results will integrate into Documenta 12 itself next year in Kassel (summer 2007).

My first big job out of college was working for a company that managed several theatres and sports arenas. It's a fascinating industry where the fundamental goal is to keep your lights on as many nights a year as possible. To do that in a highly competitive concert and family show market, we were forced to partner with several "experimental" sports franchises including Indoor Soccer, Lacrosse and Arena Football. If you've seen sports movies like "A League of Their Own," you've seen fan followings develop from a handful of diehards into a standing room only championship game crowd. That's THE MOVIES. Filling the building for a startup in the real world is a tricky business. Missteps in pricing and promotions can literally put the franchise's future at risk.
You might be thinking, "Hang on. What does sports marketing have to do with my B2E startup?" I'm glad you asked! Just like SaaS, a sporting event has a high fixed cost, but extremely low marginal cost once the doors are open. Similar game theory can work for both. And just like education technology buyers, sports fans are engaged by word of mouth momentum. When a satisfied customer speaks highly of either product, they will sell the next customer far better than the marketer can. Lastly, while both products are not commodities, one might argue competition can come from almost anywhere in the entertainment or educational materials world. So congratulations…you're kind of in the same business as Australian Rules Football.
I had the chance to work with multiple startup sports leagues each with a different philosophy on how to become the next major American arena sport. They fell into three pricing philosophies:
Owner A – Fill the building at all costs—give the tickets away if you have to. I'll make the concessions money and it will be a great atmosphere. People having a great time will pay for tickets in the future.
Owner B – I'll discount tickets but don't give them away. Something you get for free has no value.
Owner C – Hold the price as high as we can. The true aficionados of this sport might be a small audience but they are the ones that will pay good money to see it. Discounts might grab me additional people but the price will be eroded to my primary buyer so there's no financial gain.
Two decades later, in the B2E consulting business I am having similar conversations about pricing:
Owner A – I have a free or freemium service. Instant large user base will appeal to investors. I can leverage advertising, premium subscriptions, or sell the brand to a larger company later.
Owner B – I have a paid subscription model for my app or SaaS. I keep the price low to win a larger audience but I only want paying users.
Owner C – I am going for top dollar per student. I want to win a small audience on high value.
There was no contest which strategy worked the best in sports. Did you guess B? Against the advice of professional sports promoters, with a value-oriented starting price and lots of promotional discounts but no free admissions, Owner B actually built the most valuable franchise in the long run. We hated the nights with paid attendance of 2,500, but it was paid. Their average attendance grew to 6,000 which looked fine in their venue of 11,000 seats. Fans came back year after year until the league suspended operations due to lack of interest in the opposing team's markets.
What happened to the other leagues? Owner A had the best optics. After one or two years of going the slow and steady route, he told us it was time to dramatically improve the atmosphere. "Make it a party," end quote. He came to the right people. We gave away some 30,000 general admission tickets per game to draw 6 then 8 then 10 thousand and more fans each night. Excitement built to a crescendo. The team played for the championship in front of 19,000 people and the fire marshal insisted we shut the doors. The place was rocking and we had good "ears per ticket" (the Disneyland term for revenue of parking, food and beverage, t-shirts sold in addition to each admission). Next winter as we started our season ticket campaign, we had a few hundred buyers that bought premium paid seats, but individual game tickets were virtually unsaleable. We spent that summer breaking new ground in how to draw free bodies to the arena, but the declining crowds looked increasingly like some sting operation to round up escaped convicts. Ultimately, the franchise closed down.
Owner C closed the quickest, however. The high priced strategy back fired. In my opinion this sport had the coolest product, hand-tailored for our captive NHL audience that we were pushing it to. Those that came didn't enjoy the small crowd atmosphere, and there wasn't enough word of mouth excitement to draw new fans. The high ticket price wasn't competitive to the full range of entertainment options that that audience could choose from such as local junior and college hockey. The strategy failed and the team never got off the ground. They had the shortest life span of all three; I believe only 2 seasons.
Can we extrapolate anything from these stories to ed tech? I told you at the outset I believe startup sports are a lot like your business. If you buy into that correlation, pay attention to some of the key lessons for ed tech startups.
- DO drive early word of mouth by keeping your price as low as you can afford.
- DO offer smart discounts such as the ones I describe as Sales Drano.
- DO always provide incredible customer service and implementation support no matter what your price.
- DON'T give away uncontrolled pilots or the full product, especially not to rogue classrooms.
- DON'T overprice your product thinking you'll control the high end market. It's too small.
- DON'T wear dry clean only items to a free event – some creepy dude is definitely going to spill beer on you.
If you are pointing to the rare success story that drastically diverted from these Do's and Don'ts, ask yourself how much you have in common with their climate, investment capital, and business objectives? I know a few of those stories from backstage, and as you learned from the tale of Sports Owner A, appearances can be deceiving. Get the facts, plan for long-term growth and for what enables the best service for your customer. Particularly that last one is the key to a successful education franchise!

We are very lucky to have beautiful school grounds including our own pond, named The Jubilee Broad. On Monday morning the Penguins returned again to observe the changes that have occurred recently. The pond was teaming with life and provided wonderful first hand experiences to get close to nature. The children were asked to record their most fascinating find:
" I was fascinated by the blue, shiny dragonflies" Bestsy Aged 5
" I discovered a nest under the logs and the ants scurried underground carrying the eggs!" Riley Aged 5
" I liked the fast moving, speckled newt". Ruth Aged 5
" The pond skaters are so clever walking on top of the water." Alfie Aged 5
Many parents ask me what homework they could have for the holidays and of course being close to nature and talking about these experiences can provide rich learning opportunities. Please remember also to keep reading during the 6 week break. The Summer Reading Challenge started last Saturday and with free stickers and a medal to work towards it is a great incentive to practice and develop an enjoyable lifelong learning habit.

Normally, I'm not going to go on a rant about government offices because it is what it is, but I'm pretty irritated about this morning's foray – which bled well into the afternoon – to the "local" Social Security office in Olean, NY. This is as close as one gets to such an office if you live in Bradford, PA. Not the worst drive; 25 miles or so. Just inconvenient. My brother, henceforth referred to as "the Male Sibling Unit", lost his original Social Security card and needs it to be able to obtain a state-issued ID. Why my mother or his caseworker never got him one, I will never know. I certainly bitched about it enough before Mom died and he moved in with me. Apparently mentally challenged individuals aren't encouraged to own some form of acceptable ID. Unless they decide to become a Democrat so they can "vote for Bernie Sanders," as the Male Sibling Unit recently announced. I've put off taking him over there simply because it meant taking him out of workshop for a day and disrupting his OCD routine, but I could procrastinate no more. His nightly inquiries about the Democratic Primary and needing to "make my vote count and make that asshole Trump go away" forced me into action.
The Social Security office is monstrous. It's a huge, cavernous office space seemingly in need of all that square footage for the thousands and thousands of manila files housed there in this age of electronic filing. At the time that we were there, the office appeared to employ two representatives and a security guard. Both reps were safe behind what might have been bullet-proof glass ( in case some senior goes on a bloody, geriatric rampage and tosses his walker against the glass, I suppose) with a little trough to funnel paperwork through.
The electronic check-in system was broken, so a handwritten sign advised all who entered to "take a number". We took #40. Soon after, the rep called on #22. We settled into cheap, plastic chairs amongst the poor, unwashed, and elderly masses wearily resigned to waiting their turn. Most only had a question when summoned by number, over the loudspeaker, to appproach the glass. We were soon to find out that there was not a #23, 24, or 25. They just didn't exist. There was not a #37, 38, or 39, either, which did hurry our wait time along. Before our number was called, an elderly man came in and walked up to the window. The guard, who appeared not much younger than the guy, sternly told him he needed to take a number and wait his turn. He said, "I just wanted to tell you that I tried to call, but I kept saying 'Representative' and it kept asking me if I wanted to speak to one. It took me less time to drive here."
When our number was called, I explained that we were there to obtain a replacement Social Security card for my brother so that he could go get his State ID. I said we had already printed the application, filled it out, and brought the acceptable "other" forms of ID as outlined on the fact sheet accompanying said form. She took his birth certificate, insurance cards, and the application and looked at them for a while.
"I can't take these cards," she said, "because they don't have his Social Security number on them."
Apparently some cards from Pennsylvania don't have that information on them. Hence the need for a Social Security card, maybe? I asked why that appeared as an accepted form of ID if NOT EVERY STATE had the proper information on them. Her answer wasn't even bureaucratic bullshit.
"I don't know." She shrugged.
She then told me that if I could get my brother's doctor to affirm, on company letterhead, that my brother was a patient at said practice, we could "just mail that in" with the application and we "didn't need any" proof of ID. Because OBVIOUSLY, his doctor knows who he is better than me, his sister ALL OF HIS FREAKING LIFE. Oh wait, I forgot: I am less credible because I am not a doctor. Ummmm….but seriously? Why not make THAT little nugget of info available on the website instead of incorrect, erroneous information? You know, "Just get your doctor to verify your identity."
Oh wait. It's a government website. No need for further explanation. I gotcha. Our tax dollars at work, people. I would never, ever wish going postal on those three lost government employees in that warehouse of an office, but that's because I am semi-possessed of my mental faculties.
At least there will be plenty of space for them to hide if someone does get tired of being asked to ask for a Representative as he or she waits on hold, and comes in a-shootin', overpowering the elderly security guard tasked with protecting those two chicks behind the glass.
Needless to say, "Those douchebags" will most likely be the topic of the Male Sibling Unit's conversation tonight. It will make for a much-needed departure from the usual "Fuck Trump" convo.
There is a silver lining, I guess.

Semiotic Alpine Escape
House for the Digital Fiend
This USC Undergraduate Thesis by Zack Matthews focuses on the contemporary condition of digital addiction and how the broad embrace of digital space has been at the expense of culturally significant physical social exchanges.
Virtual space has become so addictive because of its capacity to overstimulate user perceptions. We can be playing a favorite song on our phone, while browsing the latest news on a computer, while playing an interactive game on a tablet,
Upon entering back into physical space, banalities of reality are magnified and relapse back to the digital realm is that much more inevitable.
How do we make the physical environment as potent as the space accessible through technological devices – How can cultural addiction to personal technology be delayed?
#HOUSEFORTHEDIGITALFIEND addresses this question by re-examining the wall as a performative surface that intensifies perceptual engagements; specifically sight, sound and touch. These perceptions are of interest because they are the few of which are natively over-stimulated through technology.
By amplifying a non-virtual experience through; channeling and isolating sound, contorting and clarifying vision, and repelling then invoking occupation, the wall becomes an interactive element that makes physical space as enticing and engaging as the digital realm. Once physical engagement rebuttals the strength of digital engagement, the intent is that this will delay our cultural spiral further towards digital addiction. Read the rest of this entry »
[ours] Hyperlocalization of Architecture
Title: [ours] Hyperlocalization of Architecture: Contemporary Sustainable Archetypes
Author: Andrew Michler
Cover: Hardback
Size: 12″ x 9.5″
Pages: 264
Publication date: August 2015
What lesson does the largest sustainable office building in the Southern Hemisphere, the smallest of houses in Tokyo, and an underground shopping mall in Mexico City share? They are in fact a perfect response to their conditions. They provide pronounced insights into the challenges and opportunities of contemporary environmental architecture throughout the world. An authentic architecture has emerged– from Melbourne's kinetically charged buildings, Tokyo's tiny homes, Cascadia's large wood, Germany's energy efficiency, Copenhagen's bike culture, and Spain's elegant day lit commercial buildings. These are new architecture archetypes which boldly anticipates the needs of the future by using place as the catalyst.
[ours] Hyperlocalization of Architecture explores the possibilities and promise of deep sustainable building design through the lens of some of the most provocative projects and esteemed architects of our time. Michler explores and documents the work first hand, and with extensive commentaries from the architects, readers gain a unique insight into how these buildings function in the context of their culture, environment, and utility.
Hyperlocalization is the synthesis of these conditions, challenging the conventions of what a building can be. Hyperlocal architecture captures concepts such as resilience, zero carbon, and regenerative, terms Michler calls aspirational architecture, and turns them into grounded and provocative fully realized forms.
[Japan Condenses] While micro home design is a fashionable subject and often given credit as a sustainable typology, the elements of building cost, services and transportation access, as well as temporal use and daylighting are just as critical for these homes to work as intended. In Japan the fusion of culture and inventiveness merge in manifestation of some of the most provocative small living spaces in the world, demonstrating how we can live better with less.
[Spain Wraps] Daylight is a core asset in larger scale Spanish architecture and has been mastered by the use of second skins, which both eliminate artificial light in the daytime but also allows the building to stay cool, dramatically reducing it need for energy. These buildings go well beyond beauty and function though by embedding a human value into what is often a difficult scale to design for.
[Australia Unfolds] Australia provides the most comprehensive group of environmental building designs. While striking in their distinctive and deep use of natural resources to provide quality living and working environments they also share a kinetic spirit. The design vocabulary is emulated in personal ways but these projects use the gesture of motion to engage with the place they are in.
Other chapters include [Germany Condenses] and the world's first Passive House museum which is shortlisted final five for the Mies Van der Rohe award for 2015, [Cascadia Harvest] featuring the timber framed Bullitt Center, considered the world's most sustainable office building, [Mexico Embeds] where subsurface architecture is taking root, and [Denmark Plays] which embraces a culture of inventiveness epitomized by 8 Tallet in Copenhagen.
"The book '[ours] hyperlocalization of architecture' can be seen as a contemporary experimental guide for the future designers and produces different approaches to 'ordinary architecture' with regional sources or materials. In this regard, defines a new way of producing through provocative rules and limitations, removing all ambiguity about sustainable architecture. " – designboom
The book opens with conversations with visionaries including Edward Mazria's analysis of the significant impact of buildings in climate change, Dr. Wolfgang Feist on the extraordinary low energy Passive house movement, and William McDonough on how to create a design ecosystem that not only solves many of the ills of building design but how we approach design as a healing agent. Featuring a forward by Lloyd Alter and a unique online index for each project directly accessible from the book via smart phone.

"This is all based on human creativity, and the ability for us to advance and continuously improve with freedom from the remote tyranny of bad design. That's why the cultural question becomes interesting because at that point the culture can express itself in a creative way. It still has integrity because you're expressing yourself creatively within a context. Your solving for rich, local problems. All sustainability, like politics is local. It has to be." – William McDonough in [ours]

The Circle: House of Hungarian Music, Budapest
MenoMenoPiu Architects proposal for the new House of Hungarian Music focuses on creating a landmark for the park whilst respecting its environment. In order to fulfill this, our proposition plans to conserve 95% of the existing trees selected by their health and age. The remaining 5%will be moved inside the non-constructible area near the Lakeside.
The structure will be formed by a series of parallel blades orientated perpendicularly to the new axis in order to allow permeability towards the lake. These structural elements will allow the trees to easily grow in between them.
The beams represented as blades will project themselves over the top of the smaller trees included in the site, whereas on the taller trees the blades will pass under them where the trunk will be the only part left apparent.

Unboxed: Prefab Wooden House for the Mediterranean
Architecture duo Micaela Colella and Maurizio Barberio designed Unboxed, a prefab wooden home that can be completely recycled. Unboxed is based on the typical Mediterranean house and represents a more sustainable alternative to masonry or frame structure buildings. The high standardization of the modules and their total prefabrication creates great flexibility. This goal is also achieved by splitting the building in several basic structural elements designed to be mounted with all the finishes and without thermal bridges. Thanks to an innovative foundation made of steel, which reduces or eliminates the need for excavation, the house is 100 percent recyclable and can be removed from the site. A low inclination roof allows for the installation of solar roof tiles capable of producing electricity and heat. The house also has a clear division between the living and the sleeping area with a glazed corridor/entrance in the middle that allows residents to re-establish contact with the surrounding environment (flow of time) during each passage.

Diatomic: Self-supporting Cellular Assembly
Diatomic explores the agglomeration of cellular components within a self-supporting assembly. The project takes inspiration from the observation of single cell algae whose unique feature is that they are enclosed within a cell wall made of silica. These shells show a wide diversity in form, but are usually almost bilaterally symmetrical.
The wall is formed by two distinct components: the tetrahedral component which branches in three-directions and a larger cubical "cell" which branches in eight different directions. The single units were made by assembling flat sheet of plastic cut and bend into shape to form the component. This "cells" was then proliferated to form a hybrid internal partition which can be used as shelf unit as well as a space divider. The porous nature of its geometry provides a visual divide as well as offering opportunity to be used as small office storage.
The projects was developed together with a group of young Swedish designer and was exhibited at KTH School of Architecture.
Project Architect: Marco Vanucci

City Honeymoon Vacation!
Ok, so a lot went into this fun card. The size of the card fits a business sized envelope. I used Designer's Calendar for the honeymoon vacation - welded on my G, George and Basic Shapes to recreate the lamp posts as I don't have a cart with a darn one! I used Just Because Cards for the little red car, Plantin Schoolbook for the city scene which again was welded, stretched and flipped on the G and Sweethearts for the couple. I used a variety of paper, some just from my stash and some Tim Holtz ideology. I inked with Stazon black ink. The couple I cut on white cardstock - and then colored their clothes with Prizma Colored Pencils and baby oil. After I added the couple to the front city scene I popped that whole front scene with pop dots. After the card was assembled, I went through with my yellow, red, gold, and sparkle stickles to add lights to the buildings and cars as well as to the night sky. I followed with my black sharpie to make darkened windows in the buildings as well. In addition, I used my white jelly roll pen to add a few doodles on the words, give the car a white walled look and a few more stars to the sky. I also used my silver jelly roll pen to touch up the lamp posts, the car, and added a barrette to the girl's hair. WHEW, that was a lot!!! But I like the way it turned out. As always I have the G file if you would like - she got a big workout with this one because of all the welding!

The Advent laptop can be found on the high street at places like PC World or Currys. This is an own brand laptop and cannot be found elsewhere. Say your Advent Laptop Charger breaks. What are the solutions? You could be forgiven for thinking that the only option is to return to the store you originally purchased the laptop from. The trouble with this is that these stores may only have in stock a Universal Charger which will work on many different types of laptop. You may not think this is a problem but the option you will be given will be very large with removable charging tips which can be frequently lost. To avoid incurring further charges replacing Laptop Chargers with missing tips, visit Laptop Power UK.
We always stock a better option to universal Laptop Mains Leads. All of our Advent K4000 Chargers, Advent 7109 Chargers and Advent 8215p Adapters are the very best and you will not have the problem of lugging around a large heavy adapter and risk losing the tip. Out year guarantee ensures peace of mind and proves the quality of our products to boot. Give us a try to avoid the high cost of high street options.

When you're scrolling through social media, you'll probably come across the names, Paco and Slayer. They were playing the backyard with their mama's grandchildren when a poisonous snake appeared from the brush.
The two children that were playing outside with the dogs were dangerously close to the Copperhead snake. The brave Pit Bulls didn't think twice and immediately sprung into action to protect those kids.
Paco and Slayer started barking like crazy, trying their best to scare the terrifying snake away from the children. Sadly — the snake retaliated, and both of the dogs were bitten.
Paco was bitten on the leg, and Slayer was bitten twice on his face. When the family emerged from the house after hearing the chaos, they realized what happened and were completely shocked.
They knew they had to get the two Pit Bulls to the emergency animal hospital immediately. Their lives were seriously in danger. A Copperhead snake is known for being extremely venomous.
