Cavalia's latest traveling equestrian show, Odysseo, is galloping through Burbank again, bringing nearly 70 horses and 45 acrobats in front of audiences starting Wednesday.
"It's the most magical and enthralling show," said William Shatner, of "Star Trek" fame, during a media preview of the event Tuesday.
PHOTOS: Cavalia returns to Burbank with 'Odysseo'
Under a 10-story tent larger than a football field, the $30-million production will take viewers through "some of the world's most beautiful locations," including the African savanna and desert and the American Southwest, a spokesman said.
Last in Burbank in 2011, the show was praised by city officials as an economic and cultural boon for the city, drawing 55,000 people to Burbank and generating $34,000 in tax revenue for the city.
Officials project the new show will attract 80,000 people and generate roughly $57,000 for the city.
The show kicks off Wednesday and runs through March 24 in the 700 block of Front Street. Tickets are available at www.cavalia.net.

The event was first held in 2008, with a total of three held through 2009. Following a three-year hiatus, event founder and host Jefferson Jay, along with Athenaeum executive director Erika Torri, decided to start up the series again "based on interest from (museum) members," Jay said.
Each night of the event features three singer-songwriters playing a brief set and taking part in a question-and-answer session about their lives and music. Acoustic Evenings mixes both established names and up-and-coming talent. Friday, Oct. 5 is topped by Jack Tempchin — best known as songwriter of hits for the likes of the Eagles and Johnny Rivers — plus Hugh Gaskins and Jeffrey Joe Morin. Oct. 19 will see Cory Wilkins, Chris Zach, while Nov. 2 will feature Nancy Truesdail, Will Edwards and Regina Leonard. (Full disclosure: this reporter will be included in the Oct. 19 lineup.)
Jay said he was looking for more than just a voice and guitar when he booked the series.
"We were wanting to portray the many faces of inspiration in our return series," he said. "San Diego is an inspiring place to live and our performers channel their inspiration in a way that is contagious. Many of them have overcome unthinkable adversity. I felt that our artists could share their stories and truly impact or make deep personal connections with those attending. Everybody on the list is exceptional on and off the stage."
While Jay said he feels regular concerts have become a bit clichéd, he hopes this format of music and discussion might appeal to a broader audience.
"There are a lot of amazing things to do in San Diego," Jay said. "It is understandable that people might not be as into checking out shows and supporting artists as they are in other places. These shows will provide a unique window into the exceptional nature of some of our acoustic musicians. I hope it leaves an impression that will stick with people for some time. I want these programs to last both a night and a lifetime."
Jay notes that though everyone in this series is a San Diegan, future shows won't be limited by the county line. That said, this is a series that could run indefinitely on local talent.
"There are tons of talented people in San Diego, more than enough to support this series," he said.
Guitarist Cory Wilkins said he is particularly happy to have a chance to play his songs in a listening environment, rather than a noisy nightclub or coffeehouse.
"It's always an honor to perform in an environment that focuses on songwriting," Wilkins said. "When you play at clubs, with a full rockin' band, little is thought of the songs you're actually playing. People like them or they don't, but rarely are we asked what inspired a certain song or anything, so doing something that really focuses on the songs and the process is a lot of fun."
Jay said he is thrilled to expose the work of some of San Diego's finest tunesmiths, as well as contribute to a historic venues history.
"I feel a strong bond with the Athenaeum. I wrote my master's thesis in history from San Diego State University on the history of this hallowed institution, so I feel very personally connected," he said. "Our earlier series only served to strengthen that bond. I am honored, but even more so, I am proud to contribute to and help carry on their legacy which stretches back over a hundred years."
Acoustic Evenings: Friday Oct. 5, Oct. 19, Nov. 2 at The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. 7:30 p.m. All ages. $12 members / $17 non-members. www.ljathenaeum.org.

Software Lab 250
Lab 1: Making Music With Pd
Lab write-up due on Wednesday, September 29 at 5PM (For the lab write-up, answer all the questions asked below, and include screenshots of your finished patches.)
After completing the lab, create a text-file answering questions from the lab, describing what you authored/modified and anything we need to know to test your patch. Put this file in your lab1 folder. Then zip up your lab1 folder and email it to email@example.com. Please make the subject of the email "Lab 1 - yourlastname" so that it gets sorted properly upon receipt.
about the "fight to the death between those open-source PD Commies and the right-wing, proprietary, puppy-hating MAX/MSPers"
If you will use your own laptop, install Pd extended v0.41.4. Make sure that you install the extended version so that you have all of the objects that you need.
If you're running Pd using a desktop machine on the CCRMA network, make sure that you followed the instructions in this lecture for configuring Pd.
Download the Lab Patches to Your Home Directory
- Download the patches into your 250a directory and uncompress the archive: software_lab_pd.zip
Play Around With the Patches
- Open the patch labeled myinstrument. Play around with this patch. You should be able to exhaust its musical potential in a matter of minutes; reflect on its strengths and limitations.
- Also try to understand how it works as a piece of software. (But please don't get hung up on the arcana - as always, if you get stuck, ask for help rather than waste time.)
- Right-click or option-click on any object to get a contextual menu including "help," which opens that object's help patch.
- Right-click on a blank portion of a Pd patch. Now when you select "help" you get a list of Pd's built-in objects, arranged by category.
- In the upper right hand corner of each Pd window is a "help" menu. This accesses the Pd tutorials as well as some online reference documentation.
Short questions
Why is the following patch a bad idea?
Make a patch that shows how to connect some objects together to calculate the function 1-x where x is an input number. Save the patch in a file called OneMinus.
Key Repeat
- What happens when you hold down a key? The behavior may depend on what operating system you are running.
- Is the behavior desirable on your system? What operating system are you running?
Design a different musical interaction
Here are some ideas of changes that might make the patch more interesting:
- Involve more QWERTY keys
- Involve the mouse (see the [MouseState] object)
- Load in a larger collection of samples.
- Implement a mechanism to switch among banks of samples
- Multiple gestures to one result: design a way for the parameters of each triggered note to depend on multiple key presses. For example, maybe only the space bar triggers notes, and all the other keys determine parameters of notes.
- Make your patch automatically generate a bassline as a function of the key presses
- Set multiple parameters modally, as volume works in the sample patch
- Use chording: keep track of all the keys that are currently pressed, and use only that information to set the parameters for each note.
- One gesture to multiple results
- Use the "metro" object to trigger a steady stream of notes. Now you have two new parameters: repetition rate, and whether the metro is on or off.
- Use the "counter" object to step through a cycle (of samples, parameter settings, etc.)
- You could combine "metro" and "counter" to build a rudimentary sequencer that can step through a rhythmic pattern
- Invent a mechanism to record short sequences of keypresses and play them back in time.
- Incorporate looping or other interactive controls over the soundfile playback
- Use Pd's "spigot" object to route control information to different parts of your patch at different times
- Use some additional signal processing such as a filter, delay line, reverb, tremolo, etc. This gives you more parameters to control.
- Polyphony: make it so the patch can play multiple samples at the same time. (Hint: put multiple copies of "play-sample" in your patch)
- Use a totally different form of sound synthesis, such as FM, granular, or physical modeling.
We recommend that you pick one or a small number of these and work on it in depth, iterating on both the program/test/debug cycle as well as the design/implement/play cycle to craft something that has actual musical potential or is at least more fun to play. If you have an existing idea for your class project, you could use this lab to start thinking about implementing some of the modes and mappings. By all means, if you're inspired to try something else, go for it. If you'd rather spend today getting more of a broad sense of Pd's capabilities, feel free to work on many of these suggestions.
The Community
There is a large, dedicated, and very generous community of Pd users on the Internet. Do some web searching (e.g., with a search engine, or else starting from some more specific resources) and look for interesting externals and/or patches. Download, install, and play with at least one. Can you incorporate it into what you programmed in the previous part?
For more help in finding resources, don't forget to look on the PID Links page.

Actor John Travolta (above), who shot portions of "A Civil Action" here in the 1990s, is headed back to the Hub next week to begin filming "The Forger," a heist flick in which the Museum of Fine Arts figures prominently.
In the film, written by Medford native Richard D'Ovidio, Travolta plays a former child art prodigy and second-generation thief who buys his way out of prison to spend time with his ailing son, played by Tye Sheridan. Eighty-three-year-old actor Christopher Plummer, who won an Oscar in 2012 for his role in "Beginners," plays Travolta's father and partner in crime.
"The Forger" is being directed by Brit Philip Martin, whose credits include the BBC drama "Hawking," starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and the finale of the ITV drama "Prime Suspect," starring Helen Mirren.
Tuesday, we tracked down D'Ovidio, who told us he's thrilled that the movie is being shot in Boston.
"It's surreal," said the screenwriter. "To be able to film in the museum, to shoot on the streets of Boston, with the skyline, you can't replicate that in a studio or another city. It's very exciting."
D'Ovidio, who also wrote "The Call," starring Halle Berry, attended Saint Clement School in Medford and UMass Boston. Now he lives in LA with his wife and young son, but he returns every six months or so to visit family. D'Ovidio was back in Boston Tuesday, but this time to be on set when shooting starts at the MFA.
If you're skeptical about Travolta playing an art expert — Would Vinnie Barbarino really know the difference between a Bruegel and a Botticelli? — D'Ovidio said the actor has done a lot of prep to play the role, even talking to Guy Ribes, the convicted French art forger who's copied some of the world's great masterpieces.
Producer Bart Rosenblatt, who grew up in Newton, told us the MFA is a big reason the movie is being shot here. Its collection plays an important part in the film.
"We actually didn't make the decision to come to Boston until the MFA decided we could shoot there," he said. "I've been looking for 15 years for a movie to bring back to Boston to produce. This is it."

Packers coach Mike McCarthy says that with Aaron Rodgers suffering a broken collarbone on Monday night, his team can rally around backup quarterback Seneca Wallace.
"He's played in a lot of games, been in the league a long time, I look for him to improve with a week of preparation," McCarthy said. "I have all the confidence in the world in Seneca."
McCarthy said he thinks Wallace should be significantly better with a week to prepare with the first-string offense than he was coming off the bench cold after Rodgers was hurt against the Bears on Monday night. And he said he believes he and the coaching staff can design a game plan that makes the most of Wallace's talent as an athlete.
"It's my responsibility and our coaching staff's responsibility to make sure the game plan fits his skill set," McCarthy said. "We'll have a challenging week as a whole offense."
McCarthy described Rodgers as "week to week" and said the tests conducted today gave the team reason for optimism that Rodgers will be back under center reasonably soon.
"The doctors felt much better today than they did last night," McCarthy said.
And McCarthy will feel better when Rodgers is back, no matter how much confidence he says he has in Wallace.

They can overheat your system and make your fluorescent lights flicker, and they're often caused by the instruments you need to improve power quality. Interharmonics are those odd frequencies that lurk between the fundamental and its typical multiples, and they'll make you yearn for the simpler problems of run-of-the-mill harmonics. Between stops on EC&M's Code Change Conference tour, Editorial Director John DeDad took some time to address the topic.
Q. In the past couple of years, I've had the "joy" of dealing with interharmonics on occasion. As a result, I've gained a meager understanding of what they are, what causes them, and how they affect power quality, but I could still use a little clarification. Can you help me better understand this issue?
DeDad's answer: Basically, interharmonics are harmonic voltages or currents that don't have frequency components that are integer multiples of the fundamental (50 Hz or 60 Hz). Power line carrier signals can also be considered interharmonics.
Suppose we took two or more pure sine waves with different amplitudes and frequencies that weren't integer multiples of the fundamental frequency and added them together (Fourier analysis). The result wouldn't necessarily be a periodic waveform, as you would expect from waveforms with frequencies that are integer multiples of the fundamental.
The origins and effects of interharmonics were relatively unknown just 10 years or so ago. Today we have a much better understanding of this phenomenon. You can generally say that interharmonics stem from frequency conversion. According to the book Electrical Power Systems Quality, Second Edition, published by McGraw-Hill, the primary source of interharmonics is the widespread use of electronic power converter loads that can produce current distortion over a whole range of frequencies. Adjustable speed drives (ASDs) in industrial applications, PWM inverters in UPS applications, active filters, and custom power conditioning equipment are some of the sources of interharmonics. Others include static frequency converters, induction furnaces, and most arcing devices.
Let's look at ASDs first. As shown in Fig. 1, the front end of an ASD is typically a diode rectifier, which converts an incoming AC voltage to a DC voltage. An inverter then converts the DC voltage to variable AC voltage with variable frequency. When the inverter uses an asynchronous switching scheme, it can produce harmonics in current. (According to the Wiley Publishers book Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design, asynchronous switching occurs when the ratio of the switching frequency of the power electronic switches is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of the inverter voltage output.) If the harmonic current passes through the DC link and proceeds to propagate into the supply system, it's possible you'll have interharmonic problems.
Induction furnaces are sources of interharmonics because of their rapidly changing load current characteristics. This rapid fluctuation causes sideband frequencies to appear around the fundamental or harmonic frequencies. These furnaces use electronic power converters to supply a variable frequency to the furnace induction coil (Fig. 2). The frequency at the melting coil varies to match the type of material being melted and the amount of material in the furnace.
Like harmonics, interharmonics can create resonances in power distribution systems, but certainly more severe. This happens when the varying interharmonic frequency becomes coincident with the natural frequencies of the power system.
Because interharmonics can be any values between harmonic frequencies, you must use an interharmonic spectrum with sufficient frequency resolution. Because it only provides a frequency resolution of 50 Hz or 60 Hz, a single-cycle waveform sample isn't enough to compute an interharmonic spectrum. Any frequency that's between harmonic frequencies will be lost. You can use a one-cycle waveform because no frequency exists between harmonic frequencies. However, your best bet is to use a 12- or 10-cycle waveform to get higher frequency resolution, with the resulting resolution of 5 Hz.
Typical symptoms of interharmonics include filter overloading, overheating, power line carrier interference, voltage fluctuation, and visual flicker in fluorescent lighting, other arc lighting, and computer display devices.

Raising A Calf For Beef
If you're interested in raising a beef calf, Phyllis Hobson's clear and unique guide will tell you all you need to know.
A freezer full of fine beef at half meat market costs (and much less than that if you raise the hay and grain too)? That's just one of the many rewards of raising your own beef calf! The work involved in the calf's care? About 10 minutes morning and evening and 20 minutes of the weekend for stall cleaning. But it is everyday.
To raise your own calf you need a simple but snug shelter for the first winter months, a little equipment, a stock of hay and calf starter feed, and later about two acres of land for pasture. Raising a Calf for Beef, delightfully illustrated by Paula Savastano and Cathy Baker, assesses first the pros and cons of raising a beef calf.
It tells what's needed, with detailed chapters on:
• Housing and pasture
• Feeds (milk and calf starter mixtures)
• Raising your own feed
• Choosing a calf
• Veterinarian help
• Caring for the newborn calf (what to do everyday)
• Weaning your calf
• A barn medicine chest
• Upsets you can treat and what to watch for
• Keeping records
• Fattening the calf
• Butchering time
• Your beef on the table
After you've raised your calf to 800-1000 pounds or larger, if you want, off he goes for butchering and packaging. For those who want to do this themselves, a special section is included on slaughtering, butchering, and cutting beef for the freezer. Each step is illustrated with special drawings or photographs. If you're interested in raising a beef calf, Phyllis Hobson's clear and unique guide will tell you all you need to know.

Justin Moore Reveals What Makes Him Want to Scream
Country crooner Justin Moore likes to live life in the fast lane. And that's the only lane he's willing to be in. With over 3.5 million digital downloads and a current hit single, the 'Til My Last Day' singer just doesn't have time to mess around, especially when he's in the driver's seat. Recently, he revealed the one thing that drives him crazy enough to want to scream, and we can certainly commiserate.
"My biggest pet peeve is people driving slow in the fast lane. Anytime I have to take my cruise control off, because I use it all the time, makes me want to scream" he says (quote courtesy of Big Machine Records.) Anyone can relate to the type of annoyance that creeps up when there is a dawdling car in the wrong lane; it's enough to make anyone let out a primal roar.
Moore just finished the Blood, Sweat and Beers tour with headliner Eric Church and opening act Kip Moore, and it's clear from all his cross-country mileage and radio plays that he's been one very busy (and certified gold) entertainer. After an incredibly hectic period, the proud papa of two adorable daughters deserves some time off the road and on the couch.
There's one thing for sure—with all of Justin Moore's success, he'll be going fast and furious for a long, long time.

The main goal of most control drugs is to prevent symptoms from occurring in the first place. In general, anyone with persistent asthma -- whether mild, moderate, or severe -- should take a control drug every day. (Read more about children under age 5.)
Beyond this, the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program recommends that long-term control therapy should be considered in any infant or young child who has had more than three episodes of wheezing in the last year that lasted more than 1 day and affected sleep. They should also be given long-term control therapy if they are at risk for developing asthma. Children are at risk for asthma if they have a parent with asthma or eczema, or two of the following:
This approach may prevent or delay the child developing asthma.
Some people who already have asthma use control drugs only during times when they are likely to be exposed to one of their asthma triggers, such as a particular season or when staying at a pet owner's house.
The following are the main drugs in this category.
Steroids (also called corticosteroids) taken with an inhaler are very effective for long-term control when taken daily. They are generally a doctor's first choice for daily medication to treat persistent asthma at all levels of severity. For moderate-to-severe asthma, they may be even more effective when combined with long-acting beta agonists. (See combination therapy, below.) Steroids work by reducing inflammation in the airways. Steroids are generally inhaled using a metered dose inhaler (MDI) device or dry powder inhaler (DPI).
Pulmicort Respules is a drug approved for children 12 months - 8 years of age. This medicine is administered using a nebulizer, and therefore may be suitable for those who can't easily manipulate inhalers and spacers. Steroids are also available as pills, liquids, and other forms, but these are generally used in special cases, such as initial treatment to bring asthma under control or severe persistent asthma that has not been brought under control by other drug treatments.
Examples of other steroids include mometasone (Asmanex), triamcinolone (Azmacort), fluticasone (Flovent), and beclomethasone (Qvar). Flovent HFA and Qvar are steroids using an environmentally friendly propellant (non-CFC). Asmanex Twisthaler and Flovent Diskus are inhalation-driven devices that do not use a propellant, thus eliminating the need for hand-breath coordination.
Other drugs may be prescribed for everyday use to control asthma. By themselves, none has been demonstrated to be as effective as inhaled steroids. These other options include:
For moderate persistent asthma and for severe asthma in children over age 5 and in adults, strong evidence from clinical trials clearly shows that adding a long-acting beta agonist to low-to-medium doses of inhaled steroids decreases the frequency of asthma episodes and reliance on relief medicines. This is because the steroid treats inflammation at the same time the beta agonist treats airway constriction (tightening). The combination approach is recommended for many patients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends these medicines be used for as short a time as possible to get asthma symptoms under control, and they they be used only in combination with inhaled steroids.
The two available LABA drugs, formoterol and almeterol, can be taken with different inhalers, but products that combine them into one inhaler (such as Advair HFA, Advair Diskus, or Symbicort) may be more convenient and therefore used more consistently. Advair Diskus is a dry powder inhaler. Both Advair and Symbicort are approved for ages 12 and older.
Note: On November 18, 2005, the FDA notified manufacturers of Advair Diskus, Foradil Aerolizer, and Serevent Diskus to update their existing product labels with new warnings and later approved new safety labeling and Medication Guidse for patients. This was done to alert health care professionals and patients that these medicines may increase the chance of severe asthma episodes, and death when those episodes occur. All of these products contain long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists (LABA). Even though LABAs decrease the frequency of asthma episodes, these medicines may make asthma episodes more severe when they occur. A Medication Guide with information about these risks will be given to patients when a prescription for a LABA is filled or refilled. See the FDA website for more information, at www.fda.gov.
For some patients, it may be appropriate to combine inhaled steroids with leukotriene modifiers or theophylline or to double the steroid dose alone. However, the evidence for the effectiveness of these combinations is not as substantial.

How To Count Calories & Calorie Counting Tips and Concept
STOP PRESS: Must Read....Could You Use Some Help Burning 12 lbs of Fat in 3 Weeks? Could This Re-Formulated Fat Burning Supplement Be Your Answer? Click Here Now For Details!
On this page, I'm going to reveal the principles behind calorie counting and how their daily application can benefit you and your weight loss goals today, tomorrow and the next.
...but before you proceed, Please subscribe to receive our 61-page weight loss challenge report. Easy to do. Just enter your name and email address to get it. You welcome!
With so many dieting plans to choose from, it can all get so confusing when we want to lose weight…
…but learning how to count calories will enable you to not only lose those undesirable pounds of weight but can actually make you lead a healthy life style.
The main reason for this is, having the knowledge and skill to count calories gives you quite a good amount of control over what you eat. This skill is useful both in the short term as well as the long term.
Getting it right means you will be able to avoid yo-yo dieting.
So, What Is a Calorie?
A calorie is a unit of energy quite simply.
In scientific terms, a calorie is how much energy that is needed to increase the temperature of 1gram of water by 1 degree celcius but, in nutritional terms, a calorie represents the amount of unit energy in a pre-defined unit of food. The food could be carbohydrate, protein or fat.
The calories in our food are actually kilocalories, as a calorie represents the smallest measurable unit.
For convenience however, the label on food packaging does not say 'kilocalories' but they simply use 'Calories' with a capital "C" to represent 'Kilocalories' and if you want to go metric as some countries have, then the term 'Kilojoules' is used instead.
Calorie Counting for Weight Loss
The principle for losing weight from calorie counting is easy. It's all about calorie intake and calorie output. If you consume more calories than you burn, then your body will have to do something with the excess calories.
What does the body do with the excess? It stores it for use at a later date which in some way is bad news because the body stores the excess as fat. That's how we pile on the pounds.
In contrast however, you shed the pounds by burning the stored fat when you burn more calories than you consume.
So to lose weight, all you need to do is burn more calories than you consume.
You will need to know how many calories you need a day first.
See how to calculate 'how many calories do I need a day' here.
Also see the 'How To Count Calories' Step-by-step process here on more calorie counting tips
In the calculation of your caloric needs, your age, sex, weight, height and level of activity are all taken into consideration to arrive at an ideal figure (no pun intended).
Naturally, you would want your Body Mass Index (BMI) to fall between 19 and 25 because that is the healthy BMI zone. Above that range means you are overweight and conversely, below that suggests you are underweight.
Now here is the deal. One pound of body fat has about 3,500 calories in it. To lose one pound of weight means you have to burn a total of 3,500 calories.
How you go about achieving this depends on how fast you want to lose the weight. If you choose to cut back on 100 calories a day, then you will lose one pound of weight in 35 days i.e 100 X 35 = 3,500.
…but if you want to lose one pound of body fat a week, then you need to eat 500 calories less per day i.e 500 X 7 = 3,500 calories.
How About Counting Calories in Food?
Basically, to have success with your calorie count, you need to know how much calories are in the food you eat.
Here is a basic guide:
Carbohydrate – 4 Calories per gram
Protein – 4 Calories per gram
Fat – 9 Calories per gram
Now you can see why avoiding as much fat as possible is a good thing because
it contains twice as much calories as carbohydrate and protein.
Having said that, there is another school of thought that strongly believes avoiding fat is not the solution to weight loss.
Barry Groves is certainly one individual who belongs to this school of thought. Barry struggled for years with weight issues until he finally cracked it. His conclusion was that, eating fat was not his enemy.
We encourage all valid opinions regarding weight loss and Barry's opinions on the matter are quite interesting and informative too! His thoughts and conclusions are in a lovely, easy, bedtime reading that will open up your mind and expand your horizon....some more.
I will encourage you all to pick up a copy of the book from Amazon to see things from another interesting perspective. Simply clicking on the link below will take you straight to the relevant Amazon page. Go, check it out!
Natural Health & Weight Loss - Book by Barry Groves. Available from Amazon.
Using the basic guide, you can sum up how much calories there are in the food you want to eat looking at the nutrition label as most foods are a combination of all three components i.e fat, protein and carbohydrate.
Fibre content really doesn't count because it is not digestible anyway and has no real caloric value.
For instance, if the nutrition label tells you, there is 20 grams of fat, 10 grams of protein and 30 grams of carbohydrate, then you calculate by multiplying each gram of fat by 9, each gram of protein by 4 and each gram of carbohydrate by 4 and then summing them up to give you the total calorie content of your food.
So in the above example, it will be 180 + 40 + 120 = 340 Calories
Most times you will need a weighing scale to have an accurate weight of the food you want to prepare to get the caloric content right.
As you can tell, this can be a drawback for some people who really want to watch what they eat.
Don't despair because modern technology does provide nice, intelligent weighing scales that make the process a breeze.
Newline Digital Nutrition Calculator Kitchen Food Diet Scale, Silver is one of such products. It will weigh and tell you the nutritional components of the food of your choice. You select the name of the food and it will calculate the fat, protein, fibre, carbohydrate, cholesterol and indeed the calorie content of the food based on the weight. It also has the capability to keep a record of your foods in its memory as well. Nice, isn't it?
Apart from that product, there are a variety of online calorie counting software that eliminate all the headache of getting your calorie counting right. The software basically does all the calorie intake Vs output calculations for you taking into consideration your level of physical activity. You only implement what the software tells you to do and enjoy the results – a new healthier you.
Recommended Resources
USDA Database – a database of calorie content of all foods.
Calorie Counting Software – a software that eases all the pain of calorie counting and fitness as well.
Newline Digital Nutrition Calculator Kitchen Food Diet Scale, Silver - a compact, accurate, small, easy to use, digital nutritional calculator that you wished you had years ago.

Prenatal exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), medications frequently prescribed to treat depression, anxiety and other mental-health disorders, is associated with a higher incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental delays (DD) in male children, a study of nearly 1,000 mother-child pairs has found.
Published online today in the journal Pediatrics, the study involved 966 mother-child pairs from the Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment (CHARGE) Study, a population-based, case-control study at the UC Davis MIND Institute led by Professor Irva Hertz-Picciotto, chief of the Division of Environmental and Occupational Health in the UC Davis Department of Public Health Sciences.
"This study provides further evidence that in some children, prenatal exposure to SSRIs may influence their risk for developing an autism spectrum disorder," Hertz-Picciotto said. "It also highlights the challenge for women and their physicians, to balance the risks vs. benefits from taking these medications, given that a mother's underlying mental-health conditions may also pose a risk to both herself and her child."
The study participants included the mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental delay (DD) and those with typical development (TD). The children ranged in age from 2 to 5. A majority of the children in each category were boys — 82.5 percent of those with ASD, 65.6 percent with DD and 85.6 percent TD.
While the study included girls, the substantially stronger effect in boys suggests a possible gender difference in the effect of prenatal SSRI exposure, the authors said.
"We found prenatal SSRI exposure was nearly three times as likely in boys with ASD relative to those with typical development, with the greatest risk occurring when exposure took place during the first trimester," said Li-Ching Lee, psychiatric epidemiologist in the Bloomberg School's Department of Epidemiology. "SSRIs also were elevated among boys with developmental delay, with the strongest exposure effect in the third trimester."
According to statistics recently released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1 in 68 U.S. children are diagnosed with ASD. The condition is almost five times more commonplace among boys than girls. The researchers caution that while there has been a co-occurring increase in the use SSRIs, it likely is not a significant contributor to the increase in the prevalence of autism.
"Because of low rates of SSRI use during pregnancy and possible co-existing factors influencing susceptibility to ASD from SSRI exposure, any contribution of these medications to the increase in the prevalence of ASDs likely is minimal," Lee said.
Maternal depression carries its own risks to the fetus, so that the benefits of using SSRIs during pregnancy should be weighed carefully against any potential harm, the authors noted. They also noted that large sample studies are needed to investigate the effects in girls with ASD.
The study's limitations include the difficulty of isolating SSRIs' effects from those of their indications for use; lack of information on SSRI dosage precluding dose-response analyses, and the relatively small sample of children with developmental delay resulting in imprecise estimates of association.
The study's authors include Rebecca A. Harrington, Li-Ching Lee and Rosa M. Crum of Johns Hopkins; Andrew W. Zimmerman of Massachusetts General Hospital for Children's Lurie Center for Autism and Irva Hertz-Picciotto of UC Davis.
The study is funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences grants P01-ES11269, R01-ES015359, the UC Davis MIND Institute and Autism Speaks.

IDLEYLD PARK — Jeanne Maes was 17 years old when she begged her mother to let her get married.
Her fiance, Frank Moore, then 19, had signed up to serve in the Army during World War II. He would leave in a few days for Fort Knox, Ky., to train with an artillery unit that would participate in D-Day.
Jeanne's mother didn't really approve, but she allowed her young daughter to marry on condition she finish high school after the ceremony.
"It was war time, and I think that's why she did allow it," Moore recalled.
Jeanne may have been young, but she knew what she wanted. Since their first date when she was 15, she knew Frank Moore was the one for her.
Time has proved her right.
The two were married New Year's Day 1943. On Tuesday, Jeanne Moore, 87, and Frank Moore, 89, of Idleyld Park celebrated their 70th anniversary at the Idleyld Lodge, the same place they celebrated their 25th and 50th anniversaries.
In their seven happy decades together, the Moores raised four children and ran two restaurants. They founded the Steamboat Inn east of Idleyld Park in 1957. Both are well known in Douglas County for their efforts to conserve the wilderness around the North Umpqua River.
Frank Moore remembers the first time he saw Jeanne was the day he returned to Canby Union High School. He had graduated, but visited the music class one day and sang for the students.
"This beautiful little redhead was sitting on the left-hand side of the room in front and she smiled at me," he remembers.
He was dating a friend of hers at the time, Jeanne recalled. After the friend moved away, Frank Moore came calling at her house.
"November fifth he walked up on the porch at my house. I opened the door. It never dawned on me he was coming to see me. I took him over to see my Dad," she said.
Frank Moore took the opportunity to ask her father if he could take her to a movie.
The movie itself is long forgotten, but Jeanne Moore remembers Frank Moore held her hand but didn't kiss her on that first date.
Two years later, the young couple began their married life separated by the war. Jeanne Moore stayed with her mother and successfully petitioned the school board to allow her to finish high school even though she was married — against the rules at that time. Meanwhile, Frank Moore trained to fire antiaircraft artillery. During the time he trained, they saw each other for only a few weeks.
Frank Moore shipped out to Europe in February of 1944.
He recalled his first shipboard meal.
"The first morning out, they served us boiled codfish, which was rotten. It was awful. On top of that, they gave us boiled eggs and the eggs were rotten," he said.
After that, he got to know the kitchen crew well, an interest which may have influenced his post-war career as a restaurant owner.
Moore spent several months based in England before being deployed to Nazi-occupied France. He was a sergeant in the 453rd automatic weapons battalion.
When his unit rolled its amphibious vehicles onto the section of Normandy's coastline code-named Utah Beach during the D-Day invasion in June, communication between the young couple was severed.
"When we went into the beach then, I think Jeanne had it a lot worse than I did. For three weeks or so they never had any information from us. She had no idea what was going on with me," he said.
Frank Moore would go on to fight in the Battle of the Bulge and to help liberate the small village of Savigne Sur Lathan in central France.
Jeanne graduated from high school and worked at a bakery. She saved $3,000 of her and her husband's earnings, which they would use to open their first restaurant in Roseburg after the war.
Jeanne Moore said one of the most romantic moments in their marriage was the day her husband returned home from the war.
Frank Moore recalled he called his wife from Boston when he returned to America. Then he got lucky and caught an Army Air Force C-47 transport plane to Fort Lewis in Washington and made his way to Canby.
"She thought I was still in Boston. She wasn't expecting me for a week," he said.
Jeanne's reaction was strong.
"She never was much of an athlete, but she jumped up straight in the air four feet and landed in my arms," he said.
"It was just a moment you remember for the rest of your life," Jeanne Moore said.
After the war, the Moores moved to Roseburg.
They operated Moore's Cafe on Cass Avenue for 10 years and then opened the Steamboat Inn as a fishing lodge and restaurant.
In the early years of their marriage, Frank Moore spent so many afternoons fly fishing that the waitresses at the Moores' first restaurant once placed this classified ad in the News-Review: "Lost: One owner and manager of Moore's Cafe. Last seen up the North Umpqua River."
Both have worked to preserve the wilderness along their beloved North Umpqua River.
Jeanne Moore is the chairwoman of the annual Glide Wildflower Show, which features roughly 650 species. Her observations in the Limpy Rock area helped secure its designation as a protected Research Natural Area by the U.S. Forest Service.
Frank Moore has received many awards for his efforts to preserve fish and their habitat in the North Umpqua River watershed. He was inducted into the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in 2010 and received the International Federation of Fly Fishers Conservationist of the Year Award in 2003. Oregon Wildlife Federation named him Conservationist of the Year in 1969.
The Moores raised two sons and two daughters.
Frankie Moore, 65, is an emergency room doctor in Anchorage, Alaska. Dennis Moore, 60, is retired and lives in Glide. Their youngest, daughter Colleen Bechtel, 50, is a fourth-grade teacher in Green.
The hardest time in their lives was when their other daughter, Linda Moore, a senior at the University of Oregon, was killed in a car crash in 1970.
"That's a place where you either pull together or break the marriage. We pulled together," Jeanne Moore said.
In 1975, the couple sold the Steamboat Inn and began building the log house they live in now, which is filled with the keepsakes of people who have lived interesting lives.
The Moores say the best thing in their lives has been each other, but the second best has been the people they have befriended.
Some were famous, like writer and conservationist Jack Hemingway, the son of Ernest Hemingway and a man so devoted to fishing he called his autobiography "Misadventures of a Fly Fisherman: My Life With and Without Papa."
Another fishing friend was Oregon governor Tom McCall. Frank Moore recalled that McCall was so moved by one fish's struggle for life he told the story of his catching her in rhyme. A picture of McCall fishing is on the wall of the couple's log home, along with a wealth of other photos and memorabilia.
Frank Moore credits his wife for his long years, relative youthfulness and successful marriage.
"She is just about as perfect as any woman or any person could be," he said.
Their health isn't perfect. Frank Moore received a pacemaker three years ago. It probably saved his life, but he said he wouldn't have had it implanted if his wife hadn't implored him through tears to see a doctor about his extreme fatigue.
Jeanne Moore has had two hip replacements, so her husband puts on her socks for her.
The Moores say they hope to keep living together in their log home for as many years as they can.
"We're having a good time. We want to keep it going," Frank Moore said.

Wabash watched its 19-point second half half lead dwindle to seven against Earlham before a 16-5 run in the closing minutes of the game secured a 73-58 win for the Little Giants Friday night.
View photos from the game here, here, and here.
Wabash and the Quakers met in the second game of the 2010 Little Giant Tipoff Tournament, the first game between the two schools since Earlham departed the North Coast Athletic Conference this season. The Quakers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and led by as many as five points midway through the first half before Wabash tied the game at 171-7 with eight minutes remaining in the opening period. The Little Giants opened up a nine-point lead thanks to six points from senior Wes Smith. The lead stretched to 15 points with Smith and Aaron Zinnerman (left) accounting for six points in the closing minutes. A three-pointer from sophomore Evan Johnson helped Wabash to the huge halftime advantage.
The Little Giants maintained the double-digit lead until a three-pointer by Dustin Rusk, a steal by Ryan Taylor, and two free throws by Josh Green capped a 14-2 run for the Quakers, trimming the Wabash lead to seven. Smith, Zinnerman, and Ben Burkett rallied the Little Giants on offense, boosting the lead back to 21 with their own 16-2.
Smith led all scorers with a season-high 30 points on 11-of-20 shooting. He also grabbed five rebounds, made three steals and had one assist. Zinnerman tossed in a career-high 13 points along with six rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a blocked shot. Brian Shelbourne also had four assists, five rebounds, four points, and three steals. Derek Bailey came off the bench to grab eight boards, while Burkett also finished with eight rebounds and six points. AJ Suthlerlin scored in double figures, tallying 10 points against his former team in 14 minutes on the court.
Green led the Quakers with 18 points.
Wabash (2-0) will play Franklin College Saturday afternoon in the finale of the Classic. The Grizzlies lost 64-58 to DePauw University in the first game Friday night.

Appendix B. Selection Policy
APPENDIX B SELECTION POLICY SAMPLE SELECTION POLICY The Sac and Fox Tribe Collection Development Policy
The Library has a special responsibility in serving the needs of individuals and groups on or near the reservation. A knowledge of the tribe is a vital ingredient in the responsible selection of library materials. There must be knowledge of tribal interests, needs, and problems.
The Library seeks to promote endeavors which will stimulate and expand the reading interests of both children and adults and to coordinate this work with that of other educational, social, and cultural groups in the tribe in cooperative effort. The Library has the responsibility then, as is appropriate , to provide:
- Expertly selected books and other materials for use in development and enrichment of the human spirit.
- Advice and guidance in the use of these materials.
- Information and research services to aid in the search for knowledge and learning.
- Cooperation with groups and agencies in the tribe in stimulating education and cultural activities.
- Sponsorship of discussion groups, institutes, and film forums to encourage continuing learning through use of books and other materials.
Library materials are selected by the Librarian and staff, since no one person is fully qualified to determine the reading needs of all persons in all sections of the community. Suggestions from tribal members are always we1comed and given serious consideration. Competent reviewing media and basic lists of standard works are consulted as an aid in selection. All acquisitions, whether purchased or donated, are considered in terms of the following standards. When judging the quality of materials, several standards and combinations of standards may be used.
General Criteria :
- Suitability of physical form for library use
- Insight into human and social conditions
- Suitability of subject and style for intended audience
- Present and potential relevance to tribal needs
- Appropriateness and effectiveness of medium to content
- Importance as a document of the times
- Relation to existing collection and other materials on subject
- Reputation and/or significance of author
- Attention of critics, reviewers, and public
- Budgetary considerations
- Availability of materials through inter-library loan and in special or more comprehensive library collections in the area
- General commercial availability of library materials
Specific Criteria for the Evaluation of Works of Information and Opinion:
- Authority
- Comprehensiveness and depth of treatment
- Clarity, accuracy, and logic of presentation
- Statement of challenging or original point of view
Specific Criteria for the Evaluation of Works of Imagination
- Representation of important movement (literary or social), genre, trend, or national culture
- Vitality and originality
- Artistic presentation and experimentation
- Sustained interest
- Effective characterization
- Authenticity of historical, regional, or social setting
Materials to satisfy highly specialized interests are bought if real or potential demand exists. In certain cases, the most satisfactory service to a reader is to obtain the book on loan from a state or national library, or to refer the individual to another institution or to an expert in that field.
Binding, Mending, and Withdrawal
Keeping materials in good physical condition is essential. Decisions to mend, bind, or withdraw are based on the actual condition of the book, current validity of its contents, availability for reorder, cost of binding vs. replacement, and physical attractiveness of the solution.
Theft and Mutilation
Stolen or mutilated materials will be replaced when they are deemed necessary for the maintenance of a well-rounded collection. Materials of marginal importance whose use cannot be adequately controlled may, at times, not be replaced.
Nonbook materials (recordings, microfilm, films, paintings, etc. ) are an integral part of the library's holdings and will be provided as far as possible within the budget. The same philosophy and standards of selection which apply to books apply to the selection of material other than books. Need, demand, and use are factors to be considered.
Gift additions must meet the same selection criteria as purchased materials. Materials which fail to meet established criteria will be (a) returned to the donor, or (b) disposed of at the discretion of the librarian. In some cases, titles are received or purchased which could not have been acquired from library funds because of budget limitations. The Library encourages monetary gifts not earmarked for specific items in order to permit the most flexible use of the donation for the enrichment of the collection.
Weeding is a thorough and conscientious effort to achieve a well-balanced collection suitable to the clientele served and should be a continuous, continuous, consistent process. Factors to consider in weeding are:
- The physical condition of the book
- Slow moving material not listed in standard sources
- Books containing subject matter no longer of current interest
- Multiple copies of titles no longer in demand
- Old editions replaced by later revisions of nonfiction titles
The library collection must obtain the various positions expressed on important, complicated, or controversial questions, including unpopular or unorthodox positions. The library does not promote particular beliefs or views. It provides a resource where the individual can examine issues freely and make his own decisions.
Selection will be made on the merits of the work in relation to the building of the collections and to serving the interest of the readers.
Responsibility for the reading of minors rests with their parents and legal guardians. Selection of adult material will not be limited by the possibility that books may inadvertently come into the possession of minors.
The complainant will be requested to file the objection in writing on the form provided by the librarian. The Director will then present the written complaint to the Library Board who will read and examine the material in question. The value and faults of the material as a whole will be weighed. The Board will then recommend retaining or withdrawing the questioned material. The complainant will be advised of the decision.
This statement of policy will be revised as time and circumstances require.
The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide their services.
1. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.
2. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
3. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.
4. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas.
5. A person's right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views.
6. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.
Adopted June 18, 1948.
Amended February 2, 1961, June 27, 1967, and January 23, 1980, by the ALA Council.

- England 2-1 Brazil
Cahill: Thanks for bailout Lamps
England defender Gary Cahill was thankful Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard came to the rescue after his mistake nearly cost England its famous 2-1 victory over Brazil at Wembley.
England were 1-0 up courtesy of a Wayne Rooney goal and heading for glory when a nonchalant Cahill attempted to dribble the ball out of his own penalty area.
The Brazil forwards pounced on the casual 27-year-old, robbing the ball and sending Fred through on goal to equalise past Joe Hart.
However, Lampard stole the show with a 60th minute winner, handing the Three Lions the perfect tonic heading into the next World Cup qualifying phase and saving Cahill's blushes along the way.
"I thought I played well overall but if you make a mistake like that it's going to be costly," Cahill lamented. "(But) that's the nature of my position. Thankfully Frank scored so it didn't spoil the lads' night. It did spoil my night slightly though.''
Despite the glaring blunder, Cahill refused to punish himself too harshly, already looking to the future and the positivity of lessons learnt.
"It was out of character from myself, but I will learn from it and that's great," Cahill said. "I showed character to bounce back from it and the team showed character to forget about it and carry on."
England's victory is only the fourth time the home-side has beaten Brazil, a side heavily favoured to feature long into the tournament when the Samba nation host next year's showpiece event. And with England sitting second in its World Cup qualifying group, two points behind Montenegro, Cahill was quick to identify this victory as the possible launch-pad for England to secure its place at Brazil 2014.
"It's fantastic. They are a difficult outfit to play against, but I thought we were dangerous, particularly in the second half, and I thought the result was deserved," Cahill said.

Fear Is To Be Conquered
At Kennedy Krieger, we pride ourselves on "unlocking the potential" of children with special needs. It's easy to visualize the meaning of this for a child with a developmental disability, who might learn new skills and walk or talk for the first time with the help of the team here. Still, when I first came to Kennedy Krieger to launch a center for muscular dystrophy, it wasn't immediately clear to me what "unlocking potential" meant for the children and young adults in my care. After all, muscular dystrophy is a degenerative condition where children are born with normal function, but slowly lose strength and skills over time.
That was until I met Ben.
For Ben Cumbo, a diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) meant a future in the spotlight – literally. As a National Goodwill Ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), Ben and his parents traveled around the country to raise awareness and funds. In fact, you may remember Ben spontaneously showing off his dance moves on national TV alongside comedian Jerry Lewis during the 1997 MDA Telethon. It was only a few years later that DMD finally robbed Ben of his ability to dance.

Reader Max Newton reminds us of the Business Week hit piece on President Bush — "Tragedy and telecom" — by one Leo Hindery. Business Week described Hindery as a telecom executive; Business Weeek forgot to mention that Hindery had been CEO of Global Crossing, the company that made a number of investors rich, including former DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe, but turned out to be riddled with fraud, and collapsed into one of the biggest bankruptcies ever.
Business Week also forgot to mention that Hindery was a Democratic Party activist and fundraiser, and was, in fact, a contender for the chairmanship of the Democratic Party. John noted Business Week's omissions in "Business Week publishes Democratic Party hit piece as news, forgets to warn readers."
Max reminds us of John's peek inside Business Week in connection with Gawker's inquiry into commenter Martin Smithers at Business Week's recently redesigned Internet site. Gawker asks: "Business Week's 'Martin Smithers': Sock puppet, or satirical genius?" Free Republic has also posted the inquiry here.

You Can Make Christmas Brighter By Volunteering This Week
It started out with just a few couples working out of their garage over 20 years ago. Now Sioux Falls Cares has grown to thousands of volunteers helping Sioux Falls Families every Christmas.
This non-profit shares blessings making sure hundreds of families are not left out during the holidays. And you can help just by volunteering for a couple of hours this Wednesday or Thursday.
For many years now my family and close friends have helped out Sioux Falls Cares to deliver much needed food, clothing, toys and everyday staples to needy Sioux Falls families. It's sad to walk into a home and see the long faces of children who have parents working more than one job to support the household and leave the oldest child to take care of the rest.
I remember one year when we came through the front door, our arms loaded with food and toys, one child shouted, "Oh boy, we're going to have Christmas this year!" His mother guided us into the kitchen where we placed all the food. She opened the cabinets and refrigerator. They were empty.
Your heart will be touched in a way like no other. Let this Christmas be the start of a new family tradition for you by touching the lives of others.

Acrylic provided by Interstate Plastics is a transparent thermoplastic, often used as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass.Acrylic is also known by brand names including Acrylite®, Lucite®, Optix®, Plexiglas®, Perspex® and Altuglas®.
Acrylic finished plastics have outstanding resistance to long-term exposure to sunlight and weathering. It has excellent optical properties and is more resistant to impact than glass. In addition, acrylic has low water absorption, good electrical resistivity, and fair tensile strength. Applications are infinite, including art installations, outdoor signs, glazing, aircraft canopies, skylights, auto tail-lights, dials, buttons, lighting applications, knobs, and machine covers. Interstate Plastics offers a wide variety of Acrylic plastics to fit your specific application.
Acrylic is often preferred because of its moderate properties, easy handling and processing, and low cost, but behaves in a brittle manner when loaded, especially under an impact force. Transmits up to 92% of visible light (3 mm thickness), and gives a reflection of about 4% from each of its surfaces on account of its refractive index. It has a density of 1.17-1.20 g/cm3, which is less than half that of glass. It also has good impact strength, higher than both glass and polystyrene.

Acrylic is produced in two basic variations, cast and extruded. Cast acrylic sheet is made to exacting standards. It offers excellent optical characteristics, thickness tolerances, light stability, and low internal stress levels for consistent performance. Extruded acrylic is a continuously manufactured acrylic sheet, resulting in a sheet offering with the easy handling and processing of extruded sheet, along with the high optical characteristics and low stress levels expected of cast products.
Cast acrylic is more difficult to bend and shape versus extruded.
In heat bending and thermoforming, extruded acrylic may behave differently depending on the bending direction relative to the extrusion direction. This is not an issue with cast acrylic. When colored cast acrylic is heated for thermoforming or heat bending, the color may change. Matte-colored surfaces can become clear and clear surfaces can become matte or opaque. In addition, the shade of color may change.
Laser engraving should only be done on cast acrylic to produce a clear engraved image. In laser cutting, extruded acrylic will have a rougher edge, whereas cast is generally smooth.
Cast is more difficult to flame polish versus extruded. Extruded acrylic tends to be more consistent in sheet thickness, while cast can vary as much as +/- 15% in thinner sizes. Cast acrylic is more resistant to the same solvents, as well more resistant to scratching versus extruded.
Opacity and transparency both deal with the amount of light that can pass through an object, in this case acrylic plastic.
Opaque Acrylic: Opaque acrylic will let minimal to no light through. An opaque piece of plastic will completely block out light when placed in front of a light source. Opaque acrylics are used in applications where a solid color is desired with no light transmission requirements.
Translucent Acrylic: Acrylics that are translucent allow light through, but with significant diffusion or distortion. Usually allowing in the range of 1% to 50% light transmission, translucent acrylic will allow light through, without showing the object behind. For example, the light from a light bulb will transmit through the acrylic, but the bulb itself will not be visible. A person behind a translucent piece of acrylic may appear as a silhoulette, or not at all, depending on the light transmission percentage. This is contrasted with transparent plastic, where the object behind would be visible with minimal diffusion and distortion.
Transparent Acrylic: Acrylics that are transparent, also referred to as tinted, allow one to see through them as if there s nothing there. Allowing in the range of 50% to 93% light transmission, images are identifiable just as one would see through a pair of sunglasses. There is a tint, but little to no diffusion or distortion.
Bottom Line: Opaque acrylics let no light through, transparent acrylics let most light through allowing objects behind to be seen, and translucent acrylics allow some light through but with considerable diffusion and distortion.
