NC machining programming of casting mould for handle and numerical simulation of mould-opening temperature
SUN Xiu-yan(Guidao jiaotong Polytechnic Institute, Shenyang, Liaoning 110023, China)
Abstract: According to the geometry of a handle, a set of nonlinear equations for the coordinate of special points were listed by the properties of the elliptic equation, the circular equation and the same tangent slope, and the solution of the equations was solved by dichotomy. In the programming software, a program was written to complete the iterative calculation of dichotomy, and a calculator for generating the handle machining program was generated. In the casting process, the cooling time should be set reasonably. A model of the handle was built based on the finite element analysis software, and the transient temperature field was numerical simulated after fully considering the physical properties of the iron and molding sand such as the thermal conductivity and density. The temperature field distribution was obtained, and the reasonable cooling time of 10h was determined.
Key words: dichotomy; NC machining; numerical simulation; cooling time; casting mould

Example of a Computer Systems Research Paper
Von Neumann architecture is an influential and early type of computing configuration. It majorly constituted by memory chips that have the ability to process and hold data at the same time. Every chip has the capability of multi-tasking based on how the operation executed before it affects it. According to this architecture, every computer has mechanisms of input and output, memory, central control, external storage and a place for central arithmetic. Computers that use Von Neumann architecture are referred to as stored-program meaning the computers do not require either external switches or any other influences so as to run. For these computers, all data and instructions are stored in the RAM (Random Access Memory).
The design model for stored-program digital computer used a single separate structure and a processing unit to hold both data and instructions. "The design is such that there is one shared memory for program (instructions) and data having one address bus and one data bus between memory and processor",(Astrom &Wittenmark, 2011). Data and instructions have to be fetched in sequential order. This is referred to as Von Neumann Bottleneck and it limits the operation bandwidth. This type of design is much simpler compared to the Harvard architecture and is mostly used to interface to external memory. It has been incredibly successful with many modern computers using the idea. The CPU chip of many PCs hold an arithmetic logic unit and a control unit( together with some local memory) and their main memory is usually designed in the form of RAM stick and are situated on the mother board.
A computer system comprises of CPU (central processing unit) that is responsible for processing data, multiple output and input devices, and main memory that stores the data that is being processed. A reliable connection is very crucial for the various components to be connected to each other in order to permit efficient data transfer. Therefore, a computer system has computer bus which is a subsystem of the computer that is responsible for making the transfers happen. A computer bus is responsible for transferring data the various components of a computer system. Actual cables were used in carrying out transfers in ancient computer systems. Cables are still being used even in the present day computers, especially when connecting external devices. Universal Serial Bus (USB) is the most common type of this kind of connection. Several peripheral devices such as mice, scanners, printers and external hard disks use a USB connection. Though cables can be used for transferring data between internal components of a computer, integrated electronic circuits such as those used on the mother board have replaced them. "The technique of using buses in computer system improves modularity and reduces cost significantly", (Polson & Richardson, 2013).
Boolean logic is a subset of algebra that is used to come up with true or false statements. The expressions make use of the operators OR, AND, NOT, and XOR in comparing values then returning True or False results. For example:
- Y and x- return true if y and x are true; return false if either y or x are false.
- X or y- return True if either y or x, or both y and x are true; return False in case both y and x are both false.
- Not x- return true in case x is null or false; return False in case x is false.
- Y XOR x- return true if y or x is true; return s false in case y and x are either false or true.
The most commonly used operators are OR and AND. The AND operation demands that if and only if all the inputs are on can the output be on. In case any of the inputs is off, then the output will be off. On the other hand, the OR operation stipulates that if either of the inputs is on, then the output qualifies to be on. Truth tables are often used to all the combinations.
Computer logic can always be expressed in Boolean terms since computers operate in binary. For instance, every false statement returns a value of 0 while a true statement returns a value of 1. Since most calculations need than just a simple true or false statement, computer processors carry out complex mathematical calculations by linking multiple Boolean or binary statements together. Complex expressions in Boolean form can be expressed in form of logic gates.
A typical computer has four different kinds of memory: normal system Random Access Memory, Level 1 and level 2 caches, a hard disk and virtual memory. Modern computers have both L1 and L2 caches. Many currently have L3 cache. Caching is a very crucial computer-science procedure which appears on every computer device in different forms. There are hardware and software disk caches, memory caches, page caches and many more. Virtual memory is a form of caching. Virtual memory is a common aspect of many operating systems that provides big benefits for users at very low cost. Virtual memory looks at RAM for areas which have not been used recently and then copy them to the hard disk in order to permit running of more programs once the RAM is filled up. Random access memory (RAM) is considered random access since any memory cell can be accessed directly provided one knows the column and row that intersect the specific cell. "The hard disk stores data and changing digital information in a more permanent form. In addition, they also give computers the ability to remember information in case power goes off", (Tenenbaum&Austine, 2011).
There are three main classes of data storage in computer systems: The Primary storage, Secondary storage and Tertiary storage. The primary storage(also called the main storage) is used for the immediate access of information and data by the processor and is in-built in the computer. The primary storage consists of Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM). There are two types of RAM: The Static RAM (SRAM) and Dynamic RAM (DRAM). The cache is a type of RAM that was originally designed to be a temporary storage mechanism to be used in redirection of previously manipulated information by the machine or the user. The concept of cache has eventually evolved to become a permanent as well as a temporary form of computer storage as well as for individual applications. The secondary storage on the other hand consists of storage devices that are external to the basic in-built storage of the computer processor. They are used in building more space for the computer and they can never be changed. They include: hard drives, blue-ray discs, compact disks, digital versatile discs (DVD), and flash memory. Tertiary storage consists of devices that are removable from the computer and they include: USB flash drives, smart cards, and external hard drives

SALISBURY, Md. – The No. 2 Salisbury University softball team took the field for the third-consecutive day, with a doubleheader against Lynchburg College at the SU Softball Field, claiming a pair of wins heading into a five-day break.
Game 1: Salisbury 7, Lynchburg 1
The Hornets threatened in the top of the first inning against Salisbury starting pitcher Rachel Johnson as Danielle Powell ripped a two-out double to left center. The next batter, Amber Ingram hit a liner that seemed destined for left field and a Hornet lead, but shortstop Kim Dorsey lunged to grab the liner, ending the inning.
It was Dorsey who gave the Gulls the lead in the home half of the first, drilling a 2-and-2 pitch from Lynchburg starter Hope Johnson, sending over the center field fence for a solo home run, the junior's second long ball of the year.
The Sea Gulls kept things going offensively in the second when junior Molly Simpson ripped a double into the left-field corner and scored on Angela Malgieri's single up the middle for the 2-0 edge.
Dorsey would score again in the third, as Salisbury doubled the lead. The shortstop walked to open the inning and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt before scoring on Paige Knussman's sharp single through the left side. Knussman would later come around from second when Rebecca Hoey's two-out pop up in the infield dropped safely.
The Sea Gulls would score again in the fourth with sophomore Caitlin Lake reaching on an infield single and scoring on a bases-loaded walk by Katie Sebbane.
The 5-0 cushion would hold up with ease, as Rachel Johnson limited the Hornets to just four hits while striking out five, scoring only the one run in the seventh on a solo home run by Amber Ingram.
Game 2: Salisbury 8, Lynchburg 3
The Hornets (10-5) threatened first in the second game, working deep counts against Salisbury starting pitcher Annah Brittingham and earning a single through the right side by Skylar Seals and a walk for Amber Sulter to put two on with two outs. On the eighth pitch of Nicole Riley's at-bat, the Lynchburg shortstop sent a sinking fly ball to right-center field, but Rachel Spadin, the Sea Gull center fielder, had a good jump on the ball and made the catch on the run to end the threat.
Lynchburg would load the bases in the third with just one out, but Brittngham would escape the jam, getting a comebacker and retiring the lead runner at the plate before getting Logan Walker looking for one of her two strikeouts to keep the game scoreless.
The offense would reward the junior in the bottom of the third with the lead, scoring six runs. LeAnne Collins drew a two-out walk after falling behind 1-and-2 to Lynchburg starter Conner English, and the Sea Gulls grabbed the lead on Sebbane's double that just got under the glove of the diving left fielder, scoring the speedy Collins from first.
The lead grew when the next batter, Knussman, crushed English's second offering to her over the batting cage beyond left field for a two-run home run, and a 3-0 lead.
Back-to-back singles from Hoey and Simpson would chase English from the game, bringing on Kirsten Copley. Brittingham greeted her with a single down the left field line, scoring Hoey from second and Lake followed with a two-run single to push the lead to 6-0.
Lynchburg would get to Brittingham for three runs, on four hits, in the top of the fourth, bringing Rachel Johnson into the game. She would end the inning, getting a soft line drive out, stranding a pair of runners in scoring position, preserving the 6-3 lead.
The Sea Gulls (8-1) would add two more runs in the fourth and Johnson cruised the rest of the way, allowing just four base runners over the final 3 1/3 innings to collect the win in relief, her sixth of the season.
The Sea Gulls will be off for the rest of the week, opening up Capital Athletic Conference play next Saturday, March 21 at the University of Mary Washington in a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m.

While laying in my bed this morning I thought to myself, why is it so hard for me to get up in the mornings even after 11 hours of sleep!? I know I am not still tired, because I just lay there, yet can not bring myself to get out of the stinking bed! Then the light bulb went off... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my wonderful and ultra plush and comfy bed linens! They literally can keep me in the bed all day long if I'd let them!
I guess you can say my mother instilled in me a deep love for fine bed linens. She loves a well made, beautiful bed that's still comfortable and practical. Even if your wallet can not afford the price tag of fine linens (hello, poor newlywed speaking!), I believe that they are worth saving and splurging on because nice linens are an investment and when properly taken care of, will last you a lifetime!
A few of my personal favorites:
Sferra Bros. Grande Hotel Collection offers the softest, every day bed linens that can be easily mixed and matched with patterned pillows, duvets, etc. I personally own this collection and love it!
Pine Cone Hill is one of my favorite lines for linens! They offer the most beautiful colors and whimsical, girly designs! I love Pine Cone's matelasses and quilts!
Legacy Linens offer elegant and fine custom linens. I love this collection called Riad. So chic and modern.
Pottery Barn linens are wonderful and at such a great price point who wouldn't love the casual feel and great patterns that PB has to offer? I just purchased this Bethany Organic duvet to throw on my bed for spring! Perfectly mixes with the Sferra Hotel Collection already on my bed and goes perfect with our soft blue walls!
The following are some of my favorite beds by Phoebe Howard. So beautiful!

William Hague has insisted damage to the British economy from imposing trade sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine crisis would be a "price worth paying".
The Foreign Secretary said the EU, US and allies would be bringing forward further travel bans and asset freezes against Moscow over the coming days as punishment for its "bullying" behaviour.
But he warned that "more far reaching measures" were also being prepared that would have a fundamental impact.
The comments came after US president Barack Obama accused counterpart Vladimir Putin of failing to "lift a finger" to persuade pro-Russian militants to comply with the Geneva deal intended to defuse the situation.
"In fact, there's strong evidence that they've been encouraging the activities in eastern and southern Ukraine," Mr Obama said on a visit to Malaysia.
Speaking on Sky News' Murnaghan programme, Mr Hague said discussions were still going on about the repurcussions but "were likely to be an extension of existing sanctions, of the travel bans and asset freezes on individuals".
"The more names we add to that list the more they do bite in the Russian economy," he said.
"But we are also working on more far reaching measures of economic, trade and financial sanctions.
"Of course we have always hoped… that we don't have to go ahead with those things.
"We want world trade to expand and improve. But we will go ahead with them if necessary, if Russia continues to escalate this crisis.
"We will calculate them in a way that has the maximum effect on the Russian economy and the minimum effect on our own economies in the EU."
He went on: "It would be a price worth paying if this situation continues to deteriorate – yes it would.
"The European Commission has done a lot of work on this already so that all European nations would share in the sacrifices that would be involved.
"There would be some price to pay for this country and our allies of such measures.
"But there is a huge price to pay for allowing aggressive bullying behaviour to continue, for a European nation invading another European nation as has already happened in Crimea, breaking all aspects of international law in that regard.
"History teaches us that we have to stand up to such bullying behaviour from one state on to another."
Mr Hague pointed out that there had already been significant "capital flight" from Russia and falls in the country's stock markets.
"Of course what Russia really has to worry about here, even if they pretend not to be concerned about these sanctions, is the long-term effect on the Russian economy of this whole situation," he said.
"No-one should underestimate the impact on Russia and Russia's own interests of continued escalation of this crisis."

One Christmas, a mother decided she was no longer going to remind her kids to send thank you notes. Consequently, the kids' grandmother never received any thanks for the Christmas checks she sent to the kids.
The very next Christmas, all the kids stopped by in person to thank their grandmother for their checks.
When asked by a friend what caused this change in behavior, the grandmother replied, "Simple. This year I didn't sign the checks."

A Day to Draw Near
April 29-May1, 2016
Where: Lial Renewal Center Whitehouse, OH www.lialrenewalcenter.org
When: Friday, April 30, 7 pm through Sunday, May 1, 11 am
Who: Women desiring to follow Jesus' example of going to a quiet place for rest and "quality time" with Him.
At one time or another (and maybe most of the time), the hectic pace of our lives drowns out the "still small voice of our Lord." We long to be with Him, to know Him, even enjoy Him, but the ever present demands of life seem to crowd out extended time in God's presence. In Mark 6:31 following a painful event in the life of the disciples, Jesus instructed them to come away with Him by themselves to a quiet place to get some rest. Following this three fold pattern of getting away 1) with Him, 2) to a quiet place 3) to get some rest, this retreat is uniquely designed for those seeking spiritual rest and refreshment away from the stresses of daily life. Experience shows that it takes time to become still. We cannot rush into God's presence expecting to hear His voice with the many nagging duties and pleasures that distract us. This retreat is an opportunity to set aside approximately 40 hours to "come away to the quiet" and speak and listen to your Lord. Carol Klekota and Jane Cawley will be leading this retreat at the Lial Renewal Center in Whitehouse, Ohio, a beautiful facility especially conducive for a day apart with God. Friday evening will set the tone with a time of worship and prayer. It will allow you to "get comfortable" with your retreat surroundings as well as the concept of spending a day in prayer. You will receive materials to help guide you on your self directed retreat time the following day. Without having to repack bags and "be out by 11," Saturday affords a preciousundivided day with Jesus that is so hard to achieve in an overnight stay. Each room has a cozy atmosphere that overlooks a parklike setting. Quiet time can be spent either in your room, in the lovely common areas or enjoying the 95 acres of woods and trails. Should you desire to break the silence of the day at some point, Carol will be available for prayer and counsel. Your 40 hours away concludes on Sunday morning with a time of private devotion, small group worship and a delicious breakfast (food is also a part of renewal and refreshment—recall Elijah under the Juniper tree in 1 Kings 19). The main goal of this retreat is to provide you with a "quiet space" and just enough structure to assist you in spending quality time with the Lord.

On Monday's Your World, Elizabeth MacDonald and Stuart Varney pushed the myth that the Affordable Care Act is to blame for people planning to spend less this holiday season. When asked if there was a link between the two, MacDonald said, "Yeah, it appears that way." In reality, there is no apparent connection.
The two suggested that ObamaCare is the cause of people working lower-paying part-time jobs.
Varney said, "So the connection is there's far more part-time work, that wage levels, actual spending power not going up, in fact is going down, and that's the connection between Obamacare, rising costs, and less spending this holiday season."
"That's right," MacDonald said. "Part-time jobs pay less. There are now 27 million part-time jobs out there in the U.S. labor force. That's about a fifth of the total, and that's above historical norms. …Two thirds of the net job creation so far this year, Stuart, has been part time jobs versus full time jobs." Citing the Federal Reserve Beige Book, she said, "Companies reporting back to the Federal Reserve that there is concern on the part of businesses over health reform. You hear it coming out of Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas, Cleveland, and Richmond."
Varney concluded, "Thanks Liz, there is a connection, you made it."
But as Media Matters pointed out, the holiday-spending survey made no such connection.
The survey, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, makes zero mentions of the ACA or health reform and trends for most surveyed indicators—from holiday spending and job security to personal savings and financial security—are largely flat from year-to-year.
Furthermore, MacDonald's claim that the Federal Reserve Beige Book indicates a sense of unease in the business community regarding the ACA is a significant exaggeration. The Fed's most-recent official statement recognizes "concern about future cost increases attributable to the Affordable Care Act and other types of federal regulation," but lists no examples of those costs or any other negative consequences currently assigned to the law.
Media Matters also noted, "The "Obamacare Part-Time Jobs Myth" has also been easily dispelled by actual economists, including some of the same outlets that initially pushed the claims."

Letter to Host Family
Dear Host Family,
First of all i would like to thank you for taking time to read my letter.
My name is Vervic. I am 27 years old and I live in Las Pinas Philippines. I am a friendly person, as they say that I am fun to be with. I have a good personal skills, hardworking and can handle pressure.
I belong in an extended family. I have good relationship with my parents and with my siblings also. I really think that I can perform the job of being an Au Pair because I have experience of taking care of children. My brother who is now in Australia left his two kids for me to take care within 2 years here in Philippines while they both with his wife applied and waited for their two sons for Australian migration visa. I bring them to school, prepare their food, give them baths, attend to their school meetings, wash their clothes.
To go abroad and be an au pair is a dream for me because i've always love taking care of kids especially my niece and nephew and at the same time the idea of being in a foreign land.
I can say that in my experience I, can be an Au Pair and assure you that I will be a good Au Pair to the Family that I will be living at.
warm regards,

3 Tips For Managing CRM Software Effectively
For managing accounts and contacts into CRM systems can be a low cost tool. For managing sales, marketing and customer service more complex solutions can be utilized. Irrespective of the scope of functionality, there are few things you can perform that are critical to ensure you realize the value and a return on your investment from the system you select.
1.) ASSIGN A SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR :- antibiotic, antibiotic, antibiotic, antibiotic, antibiotic, antibiotic.
Changes to the structure of the system are generally made by the administrator. The structure of the system must include security permissions and system password, adding or removing fields, or changing views and reports within the system. Data integrity issues, inaccurate reports and potential security breaches are caused by failure of controlling the structure of the system.
At departmental level management needs to take the ownership and support the utilization of the system. If the utilization of the system is not a priority to the management, employees can catch on quickly. Employees will follow their leads and the CRM software will become nothing but shelf ware if management does not support its use. It is because business is increased by proper lead management.
vigara. 3.) CHANGE MANAGEMENT :-
Change will be required when implementing the CRM software whether it is hosted or cloud based. This change might be in the policies and procedures, or changes in the responsibilities of the employees. For the company executives to manage and endorse whatever change is required for improving the performance of the company, change management is important.
For making your front office business processes more effective it is critical to manage how your team uses a CRM solution. CRM software analysis must be done in an effective way. This will directly impact how you market, sell and provide service to your customers. It will also impact your financial services which are directly related to the sales generation.

Mandy Lupton and Christine Bruce
Since the early 1990s, information literacy has emerged as a research agenda and an area of curriculum practice in formal education throughout Western, technologized societies such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Nordic countries and Australia. Information literacy has typically been seen as searching for, locating, evaluating, selecting, organizing and using information (Bundy 2004a). However, contemporary understandings based on empirical research link information literacy closely with the idea of using information to learn (Limberg 2000; Bruce 2008; Lupton 2004, 2008).

Good Public Work by Lawyers
When the Hamilton County District Attorney's Office recently indicted fifty-four defendants on the violation of the Reckless Enterprise and Reckless Conspiracy laws of the State of Tennessee, it became readily apparent that the pool of attorneys who normally accept appointments in Criminal Court would be depleted. Several firms were conflicted out of handling some defendant's cases because of prior representation of many of the accused.
Judge Tom Greenholtz called upon members of the Chattanooga Bar for volunteers to participate in the defense of the defendants in this high profile case.
Several law firms that normally do not practice criminal law quickly responded to the judges request and accepted appointments to represent the defendants to comply with the federal and Tennessee constitutional provision of providing legal counsel to indigent defendants at a much lower hourly rate than they normally charge in their civil practices.
Noticeably absent were the television advertisers who proudly boast their commitment to their clients and the legal profession in their commercials that permeate the media in our area on television, radio, billboards, Carta busses, websites, newspapers, etc.
I encourage you to buy local products and hire local, reputable attorneys!

Had a discussion with my tutor this week about visiting the Montmartre area. It's something we missed last year due to our limited time and I definitely want to visit this year. Ma professeur owns a little studio in one of the streets behind the Basilique so she knows the area well. I really hate the touristy element of Paris. It's funny when you think about it, as I am a tourist myself. But 'faire le queue' and 'les mendiants' are two aspects of Paris that I do not care much for. Anyway, turns out it should be easy with Montmartre – avoid using Anvers metro station and avoid going up through rue de Steinkerque. There are some places like Place du Tertre which will be full of tourists and I suppose you can't avoid that. But I am looking forward to an interesting morning discovering the Montmartre area.
As we were discussing Montmartre, the subject of marché aux puces came up. I originally planned to make a trip to the flea markets of Paris. Thought it would be a great experience. Couldn't decide between St. Ouen or Porte de Vanves so I began to do some homework. The more I read, the more intimidated I got. St. Ouen for example, has over 3000 stalls. I'm sure quality goods would be mixed in with lots of dodgy stuff. Where do you even begin? And I'm not quite sure my French is strong enough for haggling. After a quick discussion with hubby, we decided to leave that for our next trip. I thought that was that.
Well that was before the discussion I had with my tutor. It piqued my interest again. So I started trawling for sites on wordpress and found these two amazing sites, which I just had to share.
People, Places and Bling! – This cool blog is by Theodora, a freelance writer and photographer who is currently covering Paris for a travel website. Love her posts. They're quirky and fun, with some beautiful photos.
Grace & Ivy – After reading the posts on 'les marchés aux puces' on this blog. I've been forced to rethink our plan.
I think more research is needed before I can decide… Hmm… I'm not usually this fickle. Making decisions generally comes easy for me. I don't second-guess myself and I'm usually very clear about what I want. But au sujet des marchés aux puces, je ne peux pas décider.

Crohn's disease is little known and understood, yet is increasingly common.
Having Crohn's is SCARY, true story. And a big part of the scariness is the unknown. For an increasingly common disease, it's not often talked about.
Sure, one reason for this is that no one really relishes talking about their toilet habits (unless you're like a former flatmate of mine who spoke about his daily motions with a David Attenborough-like sense of awe and fascination). However, things become less scary the more you talk about them.
1. Crohn's Disease is a horrible, prickly beast of a disease. It's chronic and there's no cure, and it can be a complete nightmare to live with. It'sone of the two main inflammatory bowel diseases (the other is Ulcerative Colitis), categorised by inflammation, ulceration and sometimes perforation of the wall of your intestine.
2. It can strike anywhere in the digestive tract, from mouth to… how do I word this delicately?… arsehole? Yeah, no point skirting around it. However, it has a particular fondness for the ileum (the last section of the small intestine) and the colon (the large intestine).

In Art Spotlight, we invite Sketchfab artists to talk about one of their designs.
Hello Sketchfab viewers!
My name is Ally Albon and I have recently wandered into the professional world as a 3d modeller/texture/game artist. I started learning 3D a couple of years ago in my spare time while working in a completely different industry – my husband has worked all his life in games and I wanted to join in the fun – I should have done so years ago!
I thought I was going to be a concept artist, but 3d turned into a full blown passion and it is now the only career for me. Most recently I have become increasingly interested in hand-painted textures, combining a love of 2d art with the 3d realm.
I have a strong interest in being able to capture the mood and style of a piece of art, which came to fruition recently in the creation of my "bathroom" piece. The art of Paola Escobar is just mindblowing, and one piece in particular, I just had to try my hand at modelling. I wanted to see if it was possible to create both an interesting scene and capture the essence of Paola's 2d art – essentially fooling the viewer into thinking perhaps they were still looking at a 2d image until they start moving around.
(Original Concept)
To begin the project, I imported the concept piece into 3d Studio max where I used flat planes to create silhouettes of the different shapes in the scene. Once I was happy, I then used a mixture of edge extrusions and box modelling to give depth to the objects. There was a bit of guesswork to this, but pushing and pulling got it there in the end. Because of the perspective, I had to adapt the shape and angle of some of the objects to try and mimic the concept as closely as possible.
A few props in 3d Studio Max
Finished scene in 3d Studio Max
I wanted to try a texture technique I had not used before, and that was to use a simple colour board where UVs would be placed to their corresponding swatch colour, rather than unwrapping and individually painting each object. It worked very well, and I will be using this technique again – everything could be further compressed and tidied up but I was very happy with the outcome and how quick the process could be. Space was left as I thought I might expand on the scene to add my own touches in the future.
I used Marmoset toolbag 1 throughout to get a quick view of the texturing progress – as the scene is essentially unlit, it was an accurate means to see how things were progressing. I knew it was time to call it done when I was asked which was the model and which was the concept!
by AllyAlbon
on Sketchfab
The project was intended to be a "quick" model and all in all, took around 12 hours for modelling, uvs and texturing. I had such fun making it, and I hope to try the same techniques on more of Paola's work in the future!
And just for fun: a lit version
Thank you to Sketchfab for creating such a great, innovative website that allows artists to present their work in the format they were meant to be seen in, and for visitors to gain an insight into modelling that could not be demonstrated any other way.
Thanks Ally!

Capital punishment; justices say death penalty is up to juries, not judges
Juries rather than judges must make the crucial factual determinations that subject a convicted murderer to the death penalty, the Supreme Court ruled today in a decision that invalidated the death penalty laws of five states and cast doubt on the laws of four others.
Nearly 800 people are on death row in the nine states where judges ultimately determine sentences, with or without a jury's advisory opinion. While inmates whose appeals have been exhausted face high procedural obstacles to benefiting from the new ruling, dozens, at least, will be entitled to resentencing as a result of the court's 7-to-2 decision.
In addition, state legislatures will need to redraft laws that were explicitly or presumptively constitutional under Supreme Court precedents before the justices took a sharp new turn on the respective roles of judge and jury in criminal sentencing two years ago in Apprendi v. New Jersey.
Ring v. Arizona, No. 01-488, was the case the court decided today in an opinion by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg over dissenting votes by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. [Excerpts, Page A20.] In Arizona, judges determine the existence of the "aggravating factors" that separate murderers eligible for death sentences from those who are not.
Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Nebraska have the same sentencing approach. In four other states, Alabama, Delaware, Florida and Indiana, the jury presents an advisory verdict but the judge makes the final sentencing decision.
The decision today will also require a change in the federal death penalty law. While juries determine the existence of aggravating factors under the federal law, those factors are not charged in the indictment, as they must be under the ruling today. The Supreme Court is likely to vacate an appeals court decision upholding the death sentence of one federal prisoner, Billie J. Allen, whose appeal, Allen v. United States, No. 01-7310, has been before the court since last October.
Coming four days after a major ruling that abolished the death penalty for mentally retarded offenders, the decision today gave the appearance of a new Supreme Court momentum against the death penalty. But that was only an appearance. The decision assumed the validity of capital punishment in general as well as the death penalty laws of 29 states that already conform to the requirement the court set today.
The ruling was, instead, the result of the justices' confrontation with the implications of its decision in Apprendi v. New Jersey. In the context of a New Jersey hate-crime statute that imposed a higher sentence if a judge found that a crime was committed with a biased motive, the Apprendi decision held that any factor that led to a sentence higher than the statutory maximum must be charged in the indictment and found beyond a reasonable doubt by the jury.
The court held that in the Arizona case the maximum sentence under the statute was life in prison, with additional findings by a judge required to make a defendant eligible for the death penalty.
The Apprendi decision was based on the Sixth Amendment right to trial by jury. Although the majority opinion in that case, by Justice John Paul Stevens, disavowed any impact on the court's precedents upholding sentencing by judges in death penalty cases, a dissenting opinion by Justice O'Connor warned that the Arizona death penalty law could not survive application of the principle the majority had embraced.
In her dissenting opinion today, Justice O'Connor agreed that the Apprendi decision and the Arizona law were irreconcilable, but said the preferred course would be to preserve the Arizona law and overrule Apprendi, which she said "had a severely destabilizing effect on our criminal justice system."
Besides raising questions about the death penalty laws in nine states, the Apprendi decision raised a question about the growing use of mandatory minimum sentences higher than the normal minimums. At issue was whether the same Sixth Amendment principle applied to factors like the quantity of illegal drugs or the use of a gun that required higher minimum sentences. Could judges continue to make the factual findings on such aggravating circumstances?
The court rejected that potential extension of the Apprendi decision in a second ruling today that, in practical effect on the criminal justice system, applied more broadly than the death penalty ruling.
By a vote of 5 to 4, the court held that as long as the judge imposed a sentence that was within the statutory range, the defendant's right to trial by jury was not compromised even if the judge determined the facts that led to the higher minimum sentence.
This decision, Harris v. United States, No. 00-10666, removed doubts that had lingered since the Apprendi decision about the constitutionality of the federal sentencing guidelines, under which judges make factual determinations that move defendants up or down the range provided by the guidelines. The decision was also a strong indication that the Apprendi principle would be extended no further.
Justice Stephen G. Breyer, an author and leading interpreter of the sentencing guidelines, provided the fifth vote for the court's judgment in the Harris case, although he did not join the analysis of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy's majority opinion.
"I cannot easily distinguish Apprendi v. New Jersey from this case in terms of logic," Justice Breyer said.
Nonetheless, he said, he would agree not to apply Apprendi to mandatory minimum sentences because such an application "would have adverse practical, as well as legal, consequences."
As a practical matter, he said, "application of Apprendi would take from the judge the power to make a factual determination, while giving that power not to juries, but to prosecutors."
Justice Breyer added, "And such consequences, when viewed through the prism of an open, fair sentencing system, are seriously adverse."
Justice Breyer was a dissenter from the Apprendi decision, as were Justices Kennedy and O'Connor and Chief Justice Rehnquist.
In contrast to Justice Breyer, the other three Apprendi dissenters drew in the Harris decision today what they described as a logical distinction between the Apprendi ruling and the mandatory minimum situation.
As long as a judicially imposed mandatory minimum fell within the sentencing range set by the legislature, it did not raise constitutional problems, Justice Kennedy said in his opinion, which was also joined by Justice Antonin Scalia.
"Within the range authorized by the jury's verdict," Justice Kennedy said, "the political system may channel judicial discretion — and rely upon judicial expertise — by requiring defendants to serve minimum terms after judges make certain factual findings."
He added, "It is critical not to abandon that understanding at this late date."
The dissenters in the Harris case today were Justices Stevens, Ginsburg, David H. Souter, and Clarence Thomas — the four who, with Justice Scalia, had made up the majority in the Apprendi decision. Justice Thomas spoke for the four dissenters, saying the decision today "rests on either a misunderstanding or a rejection of the very principles that animated Apprendi just two years ago."
"It is true that Apprendi concerned a fact that increased the penalty for a crime beyond the prescribed statutory maximum," Justice Thomas continued, "but the principles upon which it relied apply with equal force to those facts that expose the defendant to a higher mandatory minimum."
He added, "Such fine distinctions with regard to vital constitutional liberties cannot withstand close scrutiny."
The Harris decision upheld a ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, in Richmond, Va.
That court rejected an appeal by William J. Harris, whose sentence under a federal firearms law was increased from five years to a mandatory minimum of seven years on the basis of a judge's finding that he had not simply carried a gun but had "brandished it."
The death penalty case today overturned a ruling by the Arizona Supreme Court. The defendant, Timothy S. Ring, was convicted of a murder committed during the armed robbery of a Wells Fargo armored van driver in 1994.
Under Arizona law, he could not be sentenced to death unless, after the conviction, the judge made specific factual findings on aggravating circumstances.
The judge did so, based on testimony by a co-defendant at the sentencing hearing that Mr. Ring had been the triggerman. The jury had not heard this testimony.
Arizona argued that the death sentence was simply the top end of the sentencing range. But in her opinion today, Justice Ginsburg said that was a purely formalistic argument. The logic of the Apprendi decision, she said, dictated its application to the death sentence context.
"The right to trial by jury guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment would be senselessly diminished if it encompassed the fact-finding necessary to increase a defendant's sentence by two years, but not the fact-finding necessary to put him to death," she said.
Justice Breyer supported the result but not the analysis. In a separate concurring opinion, he said that regardless of Apprendi, the Constitution required jury sentencing in capital cases because only a jury could "translate a community's sense of capital punishment's appropriateness in a particular case."
