If your university or school is handing out recordings of lectures to its students after class, or if you are recording those lectures by yourself, or if you like to watch video tutorials, then you may benefit from the following tip. I talked about this earlier when I explained how you can speed up videos on YouTube to go through them faster without running into any comprehension issues.
As far as VLC Media Player is concerned, the theory is exactly the same. Instead of playing the video in realtime, which is depicted by a speed of 1.0, you watch the video slightly faster. The idea here is that you can watch the video this way in less time so that you can get more done throughout the day. Playing a video at 1.30 for instance speeds it up by 30% and reduces the time you spend watching it from beginning to end by 30% as well.
There are limitations to this of course. You can't just set a video to 4.0x or something crazy like this as you won't understand a word anymore. The efficiency of the method depends highly on your learning style as well and the material that is discussed in the video. If the materials are complex, or if you have a hard time concentrating, then you may want to consider slowing the video down instead of speeding it up. If it is just a repeat of what you already know, or if what is being taught, demonstrated or discussed is not overly complex, then speeding the video up makes the most sense.
VLC Media Player can speed up any video that you load in the player interface. To do so select Playback > Speed after the video has been loaded in the player. I suggest you hit the pause button right after that before you start to modify the playback speed.
Here you find five options to change the speed of playback of videos in the media player:
My suggestion, at least for starters, is to use the faster (fine) option to gradually increase the speed until you reach a level that you are not comfortable with anymore. I find that 1.3x or 1.4x works best in most cases but it also depends on the video that you are watching.
Most media players should have a similar feature built-in that you can make use of.Advertisement

I was interested when you mentioned slowing down podcasts in your previous article about altering the speed of YouTube videos, and I found the setting in VLC. Thanks for a description of the option, and how you can achieve the same effect in SMPlayer.
I want a faster speedup to rush through credits, commercials and talking heads explanations of what I'm going to see.
I downloaded SMPlayer but aborted the installation when I saw that it also installs OPEN CANDY adware, with no way to opt out.
Is there a multi-speed player that doesn't cram ads down my throat, or maybe an addition to Adblock+ that will block installation of Open Candy? Or a way to remove Open Candy from SMPlayer after the instal?
You can download SMPlayer without opencandy from http://sourceforge.net/projects/smplayer/files/SMPlayer/0.8.4/smplayer-0.8.4-win32.exe/download
Source: https://www.ghacks.net/2013/03/25/smplayer-0-8-4-media-player-released-adds-adware-to-setup/ (See update at the bottom of the article)
When I can, using subtitles for whatever I am watching also helps me with comprehension.
VLC has some shortcuts for the speed up:
Numeric Keypad + Faster 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0
Numeric Keypad – Slower
Left Bracket [
Thinking of putting in a feature request
Bieber Mode – Increases the playback speed by 100x
Windows Media Player's Enhancements also have this feature and works if you have the right DirectShow filters/Media Foundation codecs installed (e.g. Shark's codecs).
Yeah I do this all the time
Videos I usually watch on somewhere around 1.20-1.70 speed
Audio I usually listen to on somewhere around 1.60-1.80 speed
Real time saver
how do i know the estimated time to watch the video after changing the speed any way to make that reflect on the bar or the timing label ?

Yesterday, I had a great success improvising a Keralan-style chicken curry from my store cupboard. If you like mild curries, I recommend you have a go!
Ingredients :
1 thumb sized fresh ginger piece
4 cloves of garlic
6 green cardamoms
1 stick of cinnamon
10 methi grains (fenugreek)
7 curry leaves
1 tsp tumeric
1sp garam masala
1 pinch cumin seeds
4 tomatos, diced
2 chicken breasts
1 onion, diced
1/2 tin of coconut milk
salt to taste
Heat some oil in a pan, add cardamoms, cinnamon, cinnamon, and methi ( fenugreek) to the oil and cook for a couple of minutes to flavour the oil. Add onion, cook till softened. Grind or crush ginger and garlic to a paste, add to oil, cook for a couple more minutes - don't 'burn' the garlic so keep it on a low heat. Add chicken and all the remaining ingredients and simmer gently until chicken is cooked and flavours are developed. Add salt to taste.
Voila! Ultra simple and very quick to make, served with a flavoured cardamom rice with toasted cashew nuts.

My kids love playing this game of Mancala, but our existing game got ruined... So instead of going out and buying another one, I wanted to see if I could make it myself. It took a little figuring out, but I did it and it's awesome! I'm super happy with how it turned out. Check out the video below to see how I made it. (Also some affiliate links down below :)
I used a 3/4" Poplar board that was about 24" long and 7" wide. The final dimensions ended up being 23" x 6-1/8".

Ms. Pink Loves Leopard Print
Leopard print - love or loathe?
Do you 'do' leopard print? Adore it? Or too Bet Lynch?
Where are you on the scale of leopard print love, sophisticated classy kitsch? Or downright trashy?
Full disclosure, I have a lifelong love for leopard print, not in its natural form (various shades of brown and beige that send unpleasant shivers down my spine), which in nature is to blend in and camouflage (real leopards are a thing of beauty and wonder), but in vibrant contrasting colours.
As a young Punk of 13, neon, lime green leopard print was all the rage, in my case, a jacket which I wore for years and years until it was so faded it was no longer neon.
I have an orange and pink leopard print coat, a yellow and pink leopard print scarf, three leopard print bomber jackets (pink, yellow, green) which are rotated on a regular basis and numerous colourful leopard print cushions in the living room. And then there are the pink and orange leopard print leather bags.
Me! (Ms.Pink) on a recent outing clutching my orange leopard print bag and accessorising with double leopard print!
Leopard print in interiors can be a little trickier, too much can look busy and overdone, but then some might say that about too much colour and I wholeheartedly disagree with that! I've searched extensively for a colourful leopard print rug (pink/orange, pink/yellow a combination of the three...) and cannot find any, so I am reaching the conclusion that Quirk and Rescue will have to make one! During research for this post I could actually find very little in the way of colourful leopard print products in the UK, but thank goodness for Instagram which is a mine of creativity and visual beauty.
It's there I found Eleanor Bowmer and her fabulous leopard print tea towel and tote bags. I love the pink/blue/ochre colourway Eleanor has used. It feels so fresh and modern. You can find Eleanor's Instagram page here
I also love this leopard print lampshade by Marcie K Designs for its opulent, baroque vibes. If you fancy a similar lampshade (and who doesn't need a leopard print lampshade in their life?), then you can commission Marcie to make one to your exact specifications.
It is actually quite time consuming to paint leopard print by hand, but worth the time in my opinion (and yes, I speak from experience here!). Quirk and Rescue painstakingly hand painted a green leopard print cabinet a few years ago, I was quite sad when it sold as it could have easily found its place in the living room, but it did go to a good leopard print loving home.
What's your favourite leopard print? Is there someone I've missed? Drop me a comment and let me know!

Daniel Miller's first stint with music was singing the children's song "Speckled Frog" in front of his music class at 7 years old.
"I was the center of attention, so that's why I found (music) so awesome," Miller said.
Now, 12 years later, he's come full circle, teaching young children their first percussion songs.
Miller teaches inner-city youth music lessons as part of the group SLAM! at UCLA. But teaching is just one of his several music endeavors. Having left his home country of Spain to attend UCLA, the first-year sociology and pre-communications student said he has been smoothly transitioning into the musical community in Los Angeles as a singer-songwriter.
Growing up, Daniel Miller and his older brother, David Miller, would practice their music together and perform in high school talent shows – Daniel Miller would play the drums and David Miller played the guitar, said David Miller, a fourth-year microbiology, immunology, and molecular genetics student.
[Read more: Student brings on-screen, vocal experience to the stage at UCLA]
As a teenager in Madrid, Daniel Miller became involved in his high school's music program by performing in open mic nights and musical theatre productions, he said. During his senior year of high school, he played the role of Gaston in a high school production of "Beauty and the Beast."
Miller also worked to get involved in Madrid's musical community outside of the school setting, he said. He volunteered with an organization in Madrid called Serve the City, where he performed music in old folks' homes and in drug rehabilitation centers. He also found nontraditional ways to share his music: Miller said he busked – played music for voluntary donations – in Madrid's metro stations for up to three hours a day.
"Street performing is great," Miller said, "Basically 95 percent of people just walk by and don't even recognize your existence, but you really learn what works and what doesn't … It's basically having free ears to listen to your music."
Miller said moving across the world to Los Angeles for college has been great for his musical endeavors since there are so many different producers and studios for him to connect with. Miller said that he is currently emailing people all around the city in order to book gigs and perform shows so that he can branch out into the music scene.
One of Miller's first gigs in Los Angeles was in UCLA's branch of the College Talent Tour, a national singing competition for college students, during fall quarter, he said. He was one of 10 UCLA students to perform in the James Bridges Theater, where he sang one of his original songs, "How Can She Smile?"
Miller wrote the song two years ago about two strangers crossing paths and smiling at each other out of uncertainty.
"It's a broken-hearted love song," he said.
Miller spends about two hours a day writing lyrics without judging or placing restrictions on what he writes. Then, he goes over and edits what he wrote, later weaving his lyrics into songs with his guitar. For every 50 songs he writes, Miller said that usually only one song turns out really well.
In addition to writing his own music and performing in the College Talent Tour, Miller has been volunteering with the UCLA group SLAM!. Miller enjoys teaching young students music because it reminds him of the songs he first learned.
[Related: Student fuses ceramics, dance to unveil the complexities of identity]
While he mainly focuses on teaching the kids the basic foundations of playing percussion instruments, Miller said that he and the kids occasionally jam out to pop songs such as "Ride" by Twenty One Pilots.
"It's cool to go back to the first things you learned, because sometimes you take everything for granted, like tempo and stuff like that," Miller said. "And then when you go back and you're thinking about teaching this stuff you have to really think about how you're doing it."
Since arriving in Los Angeles, Miller has been finding his place in the musical community, playing more music than he ever has in his life, he said. Along with his performances and volunteer work, Miller collaborates and plays music with friends, like percussionist and first-year physics student, Shivainn Mehra.
Mehra and Miller have jam sessions, playing spontaneous music together whenever they meet up. The two met at the beginning of the school year through a mutual friend.
During one of their jam sessions, Mehra said Miller came up with a song that they later posted on the UCLA Memes for Sick AF Tweens Facebook group.
In the two-minute video, Miller strums his guitar and sings his witty observations on couples at UCLA, singing about a "couple, stuck in their bubble." Mehra said the song was inspired during one of their informal jam sessions, in which Miller and Mehra decided to sing about all the young couples they crossed paths with on campus.
Another UCLA student who Miller frequently plays with is Eva B. Ross, a fourth-year history student who also performs with his brother David Miller.
Ross and Daniel Miller met on a summer trip to Spain while she and David Miller were performing music together throughout Europe. Now, Ross said that she and Daniel Miller exchange songs-in-progress to get feedback from each other.
"He's an honest storyteller; he likes to explore human interaction in a very honest way," Ross said. "(His music) is very unpretentious."
As for his future in the Los Angeles music scene, Miller said he's looking for more places around the area to play show and is interested in becoming a ghostwriter for famous pop artists.
"The reason I do music is to bring people together," Miller said.

Geography Matters!
A Reader
- Editors:
- Doreen Massey
- John Allen
- Date Published: November 1984
- availability: Available
- format: Paperback
- isbn: 9780521317085
Space and nature have long been the concerns of human geography, bound up with a strong sense of the importance of place. Understanding how society changes entails understanding the geography of social change. In this new reader, the editors argue for a new way of looking at the relationship between society and its spatial organization, between society and nature, and between the interdependence and unique character of places. First, through a selection of material ranging from the changing geography of class cultures, gender relations, city structures, state power to the processes of international law, the readings demonstrate that neither space nor society can be understood independently of the other. Social change involves spatial change and spatial change affects social organization. The two sides of the relation mediate a geography of change. Second, a number of the articles explore the relation between society and nature, and demonstrate that that, too involves a continuous and changing interrelationship. Nature cannot be understood outside of its social interpretation and use; equally nature, the environment, has an impact upon the quality and future of our lives. Third, this collection presents an approach to the geography of place which has methodological implications for all those in social science who are concerned with the central problem of appreciating the of outcomes without losing sight of general processes of chance. To grasp the dynamic relation between society, space and nature is important not only for human geography, but for all the social sciences. Geography Matters! brings together a wide range of articles, from both geographers and non-geographers. It addresses a series of economic, political and cultural issues from a geographical angle that will put the social distinctiveness of place back on the agenda for all the social sciences.

At this past weekend's PlayStation Experience event, Square Enix took the time to announce an official (and hopefully final) release date for their upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG NieR: Automata for PlayStation 4.
The game, developed in collaboration with PlatinumGames, focuses on the story of androids 2B, 9S, and A2 as they battle machine lifeforms in an attempt to reclaim a world that's been abandoned by mankind.
The game will launch on March 7th, 2017 for PlayStation 4. Those who fancy taking the plunge can predictably pick the game up in couple of different guises on launch day. The $189.99 "Black Box Edition" is the top-of-the-line offering and contains the game itself along with a sleek black Collector's Edition box, a YoRHa "2B" figurine, a hardback 64-page artbook, a steelbook case featuring artwork from Akhiko Yoshida (of Final Fantasy XIV and Bravely Default fame), a soundtrack disc containing 13 live recorded tracks, and all of the Day One Edition's digital content.
Those that want the regular-priced choice can get the Day One Edition, which comes with reversible box art and six pieces of exclusive digital content in the form of a Grimoire Weiss Pod, Play System Pod Skin, Machine Mask Accessory, Retro Grey and Red Pod Skins, and a Cardboard Pod Skin.
A new trailer for the game was also debuted, showing off some pretty sharp visuals.
NieR: Automata launches on PlayStation 4 on March 7th, 2017

It seems so wonderfully suitable into the world of Fortnite: Battle Royale that the supreme reward for its most deadly of players is something so strangely dainty: an umbrella. When you find a participant descending into the map holding a Mary Poppins-style umbrella, so they are feared competitors because they have pried that umbrella out of the leavings of 99 defeated enemies and maintained buy fortnite items via a Victory Royale, and not one in 50 vs. 50, either.
Each season has its own umbrella which it is possible to collect along with the base one, which makes these the ultimate collectable: to see a player with a umbrella is 1 thing, to find a player having the latest umbrella is just another. Let's take a look at the Season 5 Victory Umbrella, coming to us originally through Youtube user and presumed early winner Andy Spiller.
It's a beach umbrella, clearly. I suppose this sort of thing was inevitable, at any point? Beach umbrellas are, on a technical level, one of the chief umbrella subsets in the end. The debut of Lazy Links and Paradise Palms follow a clear sort of summer fun sub-themesomething that we also see with all the new lifeguard and leaked shark skins.
The beach umbrella is definitely a part of the theme, even if I'm not so wild about it, overall. Last season saw a strange-looking graffiti-covered umbrella having some true style, and the season before that saw my favorite so far, and not just because it's the only one I've: a red paper parasol with dragon detail.

San Diego County home prices were up 0.7 percent in November, below the national average, said the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index released Tuesday.
The data, adjusted for seasonal variation, showed national prices rose 0.9 percent. The biggest gainers from October to November were Charlotte, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle.
In the last 12 months, San Diego County home prices increased 6 percent, passing the national average of 5.3 percent.
But the last three months have shown a comparatively slow market for San Diego. From August to November, home prices increased an average of 0.4 percent.
"Prices, and rents too, are bumping up against peoples' ability to pay," said Dana Kuhn, real estate lecturer at San Diego State University.
He said San Diego was, in part, losing ground to other cities because the local population is moving away for financial reasons.
"It's now becoming more and more common for people to leave for more affordable locations," Kuhn said.
David Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said national rises suggested a healthy seller's market. But, he said the market was still at the mercy of outside forces.
"Businesses in the oil and energy sectors are suffering from the 75 percent drop in oil prices in the last 18 months," he said. "Moreover, the strong U.S. dollar is slowing exports. Housing is not large enough to offset all of these weak spots."
Home prices rose the most year-over-year in Portland by 11.1 percent. It was followed by San Francisco at 11 percent; Denver at 10.9 percent; and Seattle at 9.7 percent.
All home prices increased in the last 12 months in the 20 metropolitan areas the index studied. Cleveland rose the least at 2 percent.
The time period studied by the index is still before a slight increase to mortgage rates around the same time in December that the Federal Reserve raised interest rates.
The median home price in San Diego County was $475,000 in December, said real estate data firm CoreLogic.
The Case-Shiller index is considered the gold standard for measuring and comparing overall big-city housing markets, because it tracks repeat sales of identical single-family houses as they turn over through the years.

Keaton Beach Fishing Report February 13-14 2015/
Keaton Beach Fishing Report February 13-14 2015
Well, I actually made it out on the water with Capt, Dave Malone, last Friday and we slipped into a creek only to find a boat sitting on the hole we wanted to fish. We eased in near, but not too close and managed to get 5 trout. The Georgia boat had their limit and I am sorry I didn't get their names.
We caught 3 of our trout on MirrOlure's TT series 51M lures, the other two on Gulp. The bite was the last two hours of the incoming tide and was done when the water quit moving. The water temperature in the Gulf was 51 degrees while the warmest in the creek was 55.
Over the weekend several boats had their limits in the creeks; like Cornell and Alice Silveira of Cedar Island. Vince Russo was spotted in a creek up north of Spring Warrior catching trout with a few more boats in that same creek.
This weekend's cold front will certainly not help the flats with water temps already hovering around 50 degrees; but the creek anglers may prefer it cold. I can't say I know enough about that to comment on it? Spring! Hurry Up!

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's top Internet provider, KT Corp plans to charge data-heavy content providers such as Google's Youtube and Internet-enabled TV service operators to subsidize costly network upgrades, a KT executive said on Thursday.
KT fired its first salvo on "free riding" Internet services earlier this month by blocking access to certain TV applications offered by Samsung Electronics Co, the top manufacturer of Internet TVs, with the burgeoning TV industry set to generate profits from advertising and applications at the expense of heavy investments by network operators.
"We want to set a rule that we can equally apply to every platform operator that offers data-heavy content as those services threaten to black out our network. They should pay for using our network," Kim Taehwan, vice president of KT's smart network policy task force, told Reuters in an interview.
"Payment could take various forms, from sharing a portion of advertisement revenues or profits to settling network usage fees. We are open to discussing that and are focusing our efforts on Internet TVs for a start before broadening our target to other data-heavy services such as Youtube."
Such moves could have wider implications for the likes of Apple and Google, which are trying to replicate their enormous success in the smartphone market in the living room by offering services such as high-quality videos, movies, games and social networking via TVs.
"Once we set a rule with Samsung, we will apply it to other Internet TV operators, be it Apple or Google," Kim said.
Apple is in talks with Canada's two biggest telecom firms about launching iTV, a device combining the features of the wildly popular iPad tablet with those of a TV set, according to Canada's Globe and Mail.
Google is also preparing revamped Google TVs through alliances with firms such as LG Electronics Inc.
Telecoms operators, under growing pressure to upgrade their networks to support increasing data traffic, have already seen free Internet phone and text message services such as Kakaotalk and BlackBerry Messenger hit steady and superbly profitable sources of income.
Hardware manufacturers like Samsung, which hopes to build on its dominance of the TV market in the Internet TV segment, argue networks should not discriminate against content or services and that applications do not cause massive traffic slowdowns.

Stupid isn't Cute
We all make grammatical errors and spelling errors, especially when we are posting on social media or texting on our phones. Sometimes our communications are not erroneous at all; Twitter's 140 character limit and typing with our thumbs have legitimized the use of single-character substitutions for words - "U" for "you," "B" for "be" and so forth.
Honest mistakes (and I do make my share) and text and Twitter abbreviations are not the source of my ire today. The source of my ire is the concept that pop spellings are cute.
Today I drove by a restaurant with signs advertising "Shakez, Wrapz and Saladz." I can guarantee you the next time I want salads I will get them elsewhere. If you are not smart enough to spell the word "salads" I certainly don't trust you to be smart enough to make one.
Near my friend's house is a daycare that markets itself as a place for kids to learn and grow as part of their daycare experience. Its name is "Kidz Academy." I am overwhelmed by the many possible snarky comments I could make about that bit of irony.
Our nation's passion for "respelling" made national news last February when a Methuen, Massachusetts school menu item, "Krispy Krunchy Chicken," "KK Chicken" for short, was further misspelled as "KKK Chicken" on the menu sent home to parents.
In the furor that followed one smart student stated the obvious. If the school had chosen to spell the words "crispy" and "crunchy" correctly, there would never have been a problem. That a school doesn't value proper spelling is more than agonizing, and more than ironic. It's downright scary.
Somehow, Americans have decided that misspelled words and poor grammar are cute. So much so, in fact, that we create internet memes with pictures of adorable animals saying sassy things that are always misspelled and grammatically incorrect. My friend Natasha is quite sure that if cats could speak they would do so carefully and correctly, perhaps with a slight British accent. I agree.
We live in mysterious and confusing times. We aren't exactly sure how women get pregnant or whether dinosaurs co-existed with humans. We wonder if homosexuality causes devastating weather. We worry about the safety of airplane windows that don't open.
During such disturbing times it might be a mistake to propagate the idea that it is cute to be stupid.
Oh, sorry, I meant to say "stoopid." That would have made it cuter, right?

Hey lads, Matt here to bring you another summary of this week's breaking EPL news. I will analyse how this may affect our early team drafts and which potential bargains may have emerged during the pre-season. Injuries are also a concern so they will be reviewed to make sure you go into GW1 with a fit 11! Let's begin!
Sagna is set to miss until the end of august at least as he continues to recover from his broken leg suffered last season. This leaves arsenals RB slot free for the first month, so it will be interesting to see who wenger goes with. Agbonlahor is set to miss the first month after undergoing knee surgery, this should help Bent's prospects as Villa should play a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-5-1. However they may lose some of the penetration and attacking edge Agbonlahor provides, even so you would think Bent is good to go with a great run of early fixtures. Evans is set to miss the opener against Everton putting United's defence into more disarray. Add to this that Jones is in doubt with illness, things may not start well for Valencia who has started at RB in their last 2 pre-season contests. Although having said this I expect Jones to be fit and firing come season start, but only time will tell.
Richards is also in doubt after sustaining a knock for GB at the Olympics. This will frustrate managers and leaves us with even more questions as to City's starting lineup. Almost impossible to predict at this stage, but perhaps we will get a better idea with the community shield this weekend. Huth is very doubtful for Stoke's season opener with illness, his manager holds grave concerns. Definitely try to avoid him, Shawcross is the option here. Sessegnon will undergo scans on his ankle making him yet another doubt. O'Neil has stated they are concerned and will hope for the best, so will the 6.2% of managers who currently have selected him. Keep an eye out for the results of those scans when they are revealed.
Van der Vaart still remains a doubt over his injury picked up against the LA Galaxy, probably try to avoid to start with as fitness is a real worry, Bale or Sigurdsson are the better options as a route into spurs midfield. Nolan remains in doubt with a toe injury he picked up very early this pre-season, another risky option to start with fitness a concern.
Onto transfer news now and the big one is Arsenal's latest addition in Santi Cazorla. He is priced at 9.0 which I feel is a little harsh, I had held hopes of 8.5 but anyway he could still be a great option. Will be interesting how Wenger uses him as he can play many different roles so he is a very dangerous option to start with. He may not make the first game against Sunderland as he joins his new teammates for the first time this weekend. Avoid to begin with but keep an eye on him incase he explodes, expect similar returns to Mata last season.
EDIT: Just an update on Sinclair, he is currently selected in my team by there is now speculation that Manchester City have tested Swansea's resolve with an offer. If this is the case and he goes he will no longer be fantasy relevant, but with Swansea's easy fixtures Michu will become far more entising, while Graham may take penalty duties.
Kightly has joined stoke but is not a viable option, priced at 5.5 in midfield he won't be fantasy relevant. Allen seems to be closing in on his dream move to Liverpool, although he may turn out to be just like Adam. Great potential and fantastic at a lower club but less relevant at a big club. Avoid for mine. Finally a quick rumour, Schurlle could be on his way to Chelsea as a replacement for Didier Drogba, and he would make a very neat prospect in fantasy terms. Torres form may be a key if this move goes through. Also they are looking at a RB as Ivanovic has been less than convincing pre-season. Cole seems the option here.
Finally a quick wrap of the pre-season movers. Graham's hat-trick has been well talked about but now Naismith has joined the party bagging a hat-trick for Everton. He seems a great option playing behind Jelavic, definitely one to watch and could be a bargain option in midfield. His competition and more popular pick from Everton, Pienaar looked great again, pulling the strings on his way to 3 assists. At 6.5 he is still looking a great option, although Everton's early season form has typically been very poor. Surely that will change this time round? Well this has been the way for the last 5 years so be wary early on. De Gea had a brilliant performance for United against Barca keeping United's 4th clean sheet in 5. They are looking very solid at the back so De Gea is looking a steal at this stage, Lindegaard still on watch though. Finally McClean has scored for Sunderland which could be a sign of things to come. With no striker currently, you would think O'Neil will sign one soon. Even so this should just create better attacking returns for the Black Cats and McClean will be a part of this. Watchlist for sure, if not a first up selection.
So that wraps up the news from the EPL. We are edging closer to season start day by day, until then you can leave a comment in the section below to have a chat or just tweet me @MattCraigDT. Don't forget to keep up with the news by following us @FPLaddicts. Until then just keep tweaking your squads and countdown, only 8 days to go!

This section is from "Every Woman's Encyclopaedia". Also available from Amazon: Every Woman's Encyclopaedia.
A Series of Articles on What the Amateur Nurse Should Know
The Normal Temperature of the Body in Health - The Clinical Thermometer-how to Read it-how to "Take" the Temperature-rules to be Observed-a Clinical Thermometer should be in Every Household - How to usponge" and give a Patient a "Wet Pack" - Types of Fever-counting the Pulse of a Patient - Breathing - Rules to Remember
One of the first things the nurse has to learn is how to take the temperature correctly.
In most serious illnesses there is elevation of temperature, and the height of the temperature is a guide to the patient's condition.
The question of temperature has been raised already in the introductory physiology articles of this series, page 739, Part 6,
We know that in "fevers" poisons are circulating in the blood which disturb the mechanism for regulating the temperature, and that during the acute stage of most illnesses the temperature is raised so many degrees. In health the normal temperature is
98.4° Fahrenheit. That is what is called " blood-heat."
When the temperature rises above this a person feels hot, restless, uncomfortable, and headachy. In an ordinary
" cold " the temperature may be 100° or 1010. In the acute fevers it rises to 102°, 1030, or even more. When the temperature is 1050 the patient is seriously ill. If the temperature rises over 1050 the condition is called hyperpyrexia.
By means of a "clinical thermometer" we can determine to an exact degree the temperature of the body between 900 and 110°, above and below which is not compatible with life. The thermometer consists of a bulb and a stem. The bulb contains mercury, which is separated from the thread of mercury in the stem by a minute bubble of air. When the bulb of the thermometer is placed against the hot skin, the index, or thread of mercury, rises in the stem until it registers exactly the degree of heat in the body.
The temperature is taken in the armpit or in the mouth, but the nurse must be careful to keep to one place, as the temperature of these two places varies a little, and the temperatnre should never be taken in the mouth immediately after giving hot food or cold and iced drinks.
Take the thermometer out of its metal case. Shak down below normal by holding the thermometer above the head, with the bulb pointing downwards, and suddenly letting it drop to the side (Fig. 1). Dry the patient's arm with a Clean towel. Place the bulb in the armpit, but take care that it does not project out behind. Pull the arm well over the chest, and let the thermometer remain in position for three minutes. Examine the thermometer, which should be held in the right hand, with the bulb pointing towards the left (Fig. 2), and note the point reached the thread of mercury. If the temp. is normal, the mercury stands at the arrow which marks the temperature 98.4. If the patient is "fevered," the mercury stands at 990, 100°, or more. Whenever taken, the temperature should be entered on the nursing chart at once.
Fig. 1. Before using the thermometer, the mercury should be shaken down below normal mometer in the right hand, with the bulb pointing
Fig. 2. To read (he temperature, hold the therto the left
When the temperature taken in the mouth, the bulb is placed underneath the tongue, and the patient told to close the lips firmly and not to speak. The thermometer must afterwards be washed in a breakfastcupful of water, to which half a teaspoonful of carbolic has been added.
Rules in taking the temperature:
1. Never allow the patient to take his own temperature or see what the thermometer records.
2. Take the patient's temperature at stated hours. If daily, it should be taken at the same time each day.
3. See that the thermometer is never moved out of place. If the patient is restless, hold the thermometer to prevent it being broken.
4. Keep the thermometer in a definite place, so that time is not wasted hunting for it when required.
5. Always return the thermometer to the metal case mmediately after using it.
6. When a drug is given to bring down the temperature, the thermometer should be used before administering the drug, and then every half-hour, as directed by the doctor. The temperature is elevated in all the infectious fevers during the acute stage of the illness, generally when the rash is present. High temperature is also associated with acute. lung affections, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, plenrisy, In influenza and rheumatic fever the temperature may 1 very high, and even in so-called cold in the head rise of temperature is often present.
A good general rule for the home nurse to follow is that any person having a rise of temperature should be in bed. 1 clinical thermometer should have its place of honour in every household, to be used when anyone shows signs of illness. It is an excellent guide, and many illnesses could be cut short if the rule of taking the temperature when signs of illness appeared was universally followed.
To counteract excessive "fever," certain remedies are generally employed. Drugs which produce sweating, and antipyretic drugs, which aim at killing the poison in the blood, have to be ordered by the doctor in charge. The nurse may.be told to sponge the patient, or to give a " wet pack " to reduce the fever. In the first case the body and limbs are gently sponged with cold water or cold whisky, exposing only one part at a time.
The " wet pack " is managed in the following way:
A mackintosh is put on a bed, then a sheet of the duties of the nurse is to count the pulse, and note whether it is regular, whether it is soft or hard, whether it is strong or "thready." The pulse is a great guide in the sick-room. It indicates the condition of the heart, the force of its beat, and the state of the blood-vessels and the nervous system. The number of beats must be counted by holding a watch with a second hand in the left hand, and "feeling" the pulse with the fingers of the right hand. Place the tip of the first ringer about half an inch from the outer border of the patient's wrist. Let the finger rest there for some time before beginning to count, as a nervous patient's heart beats faster whenever he realises that his pulse is being noted. Then place the second finger on the wrung out of cold water. The patient, without clothing, is put on the sheet, which is folded over him, then covered with blankets tucked in all round, and very soon the pores of the skin are opened, and the temperature is quickly reduced. The patient must be well rubbed dry with warm towels afterwards, and covered with bed-clothes to prevent chill.

Separation Anxiety Nightmare
Little B, who just turned 4, has been going through THE WORST separation anxiety phase over the last few weeks. I mean, hysterically screaming and clinging to my leg every morning when I drop him off. It's been a total nightmare! Each day when I drop him off, I'm scared to death he's going to trigger an attack, because he has had his worst attacks after night terrors. And the hysteria's pretty similar.
Meanwhile, his 17-month-old brother actually toddles down the hall to his classroom practically by himself each morning, and barely says goodbye!
At first I thought this started because he had an attack coming on. Now I'm not sure if there's an underlying school-related problem (his teachers assure me it's not, and he's had no specific complaints) or if it's somehow related to my pregnancy. We did go through something similar with my last pregnancy, when he was two, and he does seem to be going through some weird oedipal phase right now.
I just can't wait till this is over. Or we find out what's REALLY going on.

Hi. I just stopped by to say, buy something from me because this is a very legitimate way of marketing and you should naturally trust your financial concerns to me because I posted an anonymous comment on your blog.
Sheesh, does this stuff really work? Anyway, just wanted to commiserate. You don't want to let your kid's tantrums or whatever rule you, but you are in total fear of them triggering an attack. We go through this whenever Chas decides he doesn't want to go to bed. Give in and teach him that he can get his way by crying or stand firm and fear that he'll have a bad attack? One more reason to hate asthma that parents of kids without asthma simply don't understand.
Eddie woke up with a terrible cold. So Chas will have it in 24 hours or so. So we will be on edge for the next week. Sigh. Only a parent of a kid with asthma understands how scary a cold is.

Restoration Hardware Event | Interior Design Photos & Ribbon Cutting
I've been updating my website, in anticipation of offering commercial and family photography, and came across these photos from five years ago, that I took for the grand opening of the Restoration Hardware store at City Creek Center. It is so fun to be around the energy of an event like this, with all the exciting possibilities, for the people involved.
Fun fact: in addition to my photography degree, I followed that up with a certificate in interior design, which I practiced for 5 years, before deciding to follow my photography business dreams. I really love both of these things, so combining them was extra special for me. I would love to photograph more interiors this year! Universe, do your thing!
Thank you to Jamie of Jamie Bellessa Design, for the opportunity to photograph this event, and her hard work on the interior design of the space.

The forward march of current consumer trends such as smart home and the internet of things (IoT) seems unstoppable. However, increased connectivity often comes with inadequate protection that can open doors to cyber-criminals – literally as well as figuratively. In order to provide its more than three million customers with future-proof security, Zurich-based Sunrise Communications AG has decided to implement cloud-based security technology from the German firm Secucloud. The solution's powerful internet security functions, which include parental control to protect children, are now available to Sunrise customers on a subscription basis.
The headline-grabbing attacks in recent months are just one illustration of how much the internet threat situation has changed. They affected large parts of Europe and the US and involved cyber-criminals hijacking a huge number of connected devices such as routers and webcams and using them for malicious purposes. Traditional IT security, which depends on each device being protected with security software, is clearly reaching its limits in the age of IoT. Some smart devices do not provide any way of installing additional software on them.
Sunrise, the only Swiss telco whose technology infrastructure and operational processes are certified compliant with the international ISO 27001 standard, has already taken early steps to deal with these challenges and ensure it is well-equipped for both current and future developments. The company has extended its service portfolio with an innovative security concept for its customers that is ideal for smart devices and increasing levels of connectivity. Sunrise now offers users an efficient way to ensure the highest possible level of protection for their connected devices with very little effort on their part.

Creating Who I Am/
When you are born you are endowed with a facet of divinity. That means each one of you has a part of God that gives you knowledge of your immortality. You have free will to be creative, make decisions and ultimately mould your destiny to create who you are.
You know that your physical body is only a temporary vehicle for a certain number of months or years until you make that transition called death back to pure energy. Each night when you dream whether you remember it or not, your soul ventures out of your body to be refreshed in the depths of the universe. When you sleep it is your energy source that needs rejuvenating, not your body.
To know who you are, you need to challenge yourself, confront your fears and ask 'what do I need to do to trust my instincts and take action on how I feel'. If you are patient you can get in touch with your silence for insights. You do not have to climb a mountain, search for a guru or take a meditation course. They may help you find the answers within but ultimately you need to trust yourself and your decisions.
Visualise your life as exciting, a privilege, a gift of experiences, to remember that you have a wealth of inner resources and know that everything has purpose. They say that one day when you make that transition back to pure energy you will be faced with something that looks like a television screen. You will be given the opportunity to judge yourself and review all your actions, words and every thought. They say that you will make your own heaven or hell by the way you have lived.
You are never alone. You are always surrounded by spiritual guides that love you unconditionally. Your angels protect you and guide you along the path of life that you have chosen. At times of great pain, sorrow or loneliness, you can tune into your guidance and become aware of their presence. You can ask your guidance questions and your answers will come to you in your sleep, your dreams, when you mediate, go for a walk or anywhere you ride your bike. Focus on the things you find enjoyable, relaxing and your answers like magic will be plucked out of the air.
If you challenge the windstorms of life and perceive them as treasures, eventually you will see pass the fog to perceive the beauty of their carvings. If you visualise yourself as a victim and look upon situations as a constant tragedy, you will mourn them forever and receive nothing but sorrow. Externalize your emotions, your hate, your anguish and unresolved losses with oceans of tears. Then tune into yourself as a human being working with your guides to harmonize your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs.
Your guides surround you patiently waiting for an opportunity to pass knowledge, direction and understanding onto you. The irony is that unless you experience to remember the emotional depths of tragedy and loss, you will not recognize joy and happiness when it is presented to you. Do things that make grief smaller so that you can move the picture of loss to a distance. Do things that hold joy close to you so that your aura, your body language, your whole being radiates with calm, serenity and peace.

Reality Bits, from the WPF comments:
This city never ceases to amaze me. You complain when the cops conduct traffic enforcement and demand they do something about "real crime"; you come to the defense of a Horse Patrol. $20,000 is the beginning of the costs....Hoju details them well. Not to mention assigning 2 cops YEAR ROUND to the unit. 2 cops back in General Patrol means 2 less that need to be hired. At $80,000 + per officer per year plus all the actual costs...the true savings is more like $250,000. For a year round unit, the horses are at best deployed a dozen times in the winter. It is pure public relations geared to people WHO ALREADY LIKE THE POLICE. They do not arrest anyone. They do not deter crime. They do not investigate. They do not make our streets safer. The police are trained to drive, shoot, interrogate, investigate, and all sorts of other specialized skills. THEY ARE NOT MASCOTS. Of course, if the Horse Patrol started giving cell phone tickets, then the public response might be different.
Despite being cute, and supposedly good PR, the horses distract from real police work and are a real financial burden on a city whose resources could be better spent.

text: paper 0-8165-1881-5 A slow-starting but ultimately intriguing collection of natural history essays written over two decades. Zwinger (who won a Western States Book Award for Downcanyon: A Naturalist Explores the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, 1995) attributes her "nose-to-nose" interaction with nature to nearsightedness, which leaves her dependent on a hand lens. This approach lends itself well to an exhaustive exploration of her home base near Colorado's Pikes Peak, where she lovingly records the land's changing science and aesthetics in the drift of seasons. The first essays detail small wonders, and though she makes a case for the importance of invertebrates (which comprise almost 99 percent of all living species, she points out), it's hard to share her excitement for the complex, tedious process for determining moth gender. The book takes off when Zwinger broadens her focus, exploring a coastal Chilean island that sheltered the real-life Robinson Crusoe, traveling to Baja to retrace the steps of 19th-century naturalist Xantu, one of the first to document the natural science of the newly opened west, and tagging along with researchers in the world's most densely populated raptor breeding ground, Idaho's Snake River Canyon. Whether thrusting a bare hand in a January stream to discover nymphs or shooting summer rapids on the San Juan River, she's an intrepid explorer whose enthusiasm for travel off the beaten path is inspiring. Zwinger is at her best interpreting the rigors of serious science for the casual naturalist. Explaining the immense pleasure she derives from the meticulousness and order of collecting insects, she documents the copious note-taking and fastidious preparation required, then nails the intangible appeal of it all with an apt analogy: "I feel about insect collecting the way a trout fisherman feels about fly-fishing: it is the thereness that is important." Lyrical, astute, passionate—an altogether charming look at the natural world. (illustrations by the author, not seen)

Financially and let's face it, probably emotionally, cut-off by a clearly homophobic father, Leonard Horowitz arrived in Miami from New York in 1976 to live with his mum. This wasn't his first trip to Miami, but it was the first time he intended to stay. Horowitz and his partner in pastel-painted crime, Barbara Capitman, bonded over a mutual appreciation of art deco architecture and formed the Miami Design Preservation League. They worked to get South Beach's distinctive take on streamline moderne architecture, a pared-back subset of more widely known art deco, secured on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Dreaming in colour
An interior and furniture designer, among other design related trades, Leonard was the mastermind behind a united colour scheme that would put South Beach back on the map. Amidst the controversy that inevitably arises with innovation, Leonard pursued his sorbet-hued dream for the bland, vandalised and decaying architectural gems. His choice of palette not only sets South Beach apart from many coastal destinations, it helped to revive South Beach into trendy, cosmopolitan SoBe as it is commonly known. The heart-lifting hues are as timeless as the glowing sunrises and fiery sunsets, seasonally shifting blue-greens of the ocean and golden sands that inspired them. Here are some of my favourite pastel moments from my afternoon languishing in this architectural and pastel paradise.
"I'll take care of the buildings. I'll do the frosting on the cake," said Horowitz, referring to the architecture of the South Beach art deco district.
Ways to experience the South Beach Art Deco District
- Visit the Miami Design Preservation League Welcome Center and Art Deco Museum at 1001 Ocean Drive. Here you can also pick up an audio tour guide to complete at your own pace.
- Take a self-guided walking tour with this guide on Free Tours by Foot.
- Take a combination culinary and architectural tour and eat your way through the District with Miami Food Tours or Miami Culinary Tours.
- Join the festivities of the yearly Art Deco Weekend, a huge community event.

Peace, love & inspiring travel,

19 Must-Buys for a Wine Tasting-Themed Bachelorette Party
There are brides who like wine… and then there's your BFF, who's practically a connoisseur. And like any vino-obsessed gal, she deserves a boozy bachelorette party with a wine-tasting theme that pays tribute to her bev of choice. But even if the crew can't quite make it to the trail, you *can* achieve Napa Valley-level quality with a handful of essentials. Think: personalized wine glasses and challenging vino trivia.

1. Painted by the Shore Vineyard Bachelorette Party Tote Bag ($24): If you've taken your party on an *actual* wine tour, make sure your girls have a way to carry any bottles they've purchased. The swoon-worthy wine-red hue is just a bonus.
2. LoveMiaCo Hair Tie Favors ($11+, set of six): With the summer heat headed this way, your girls will love having a stylish hair tie that won't clash with their party dress. Hand one out to each of your ladies so they can keep it on their wrist all weekend.

4. Giving Glitter Co Bride Floppy Hat ($24): Personalize one of these for every gal in your squad. Whether you want to stay true to the bride's theme and opt for her chosen wedding colors or let her stand out in a hot pink hat and glittery gold font, she'll stay protected from the sun all the way to the last sip. As an added bonus, your IG posts will look classy AF.
5. FancyPrintsAC Diamond Ring Bachelorette Wine Glass Stem Tags ($3, set of six): With these wine charms, everyone in your squad can toast the bride-to-be while rocking a diamond ring. Bonus: They can be personalized so no one's drink will get misplaced.

8. Mailbox Happiness Wine Is Divine Banner ($15): Let the decorations say it all. This gold glitter banner is laced with white twine, and certainly makes a statement.
9. Sunnylife Bottle Tote Havana ($18): After day one of wine touring, you'll need an insulated tote that gives off those summer vibes. It even has a handy slot for your corkscrew on the side!
10. Word for Word Wino Pin ($4): We're all winos at a wine tasting. Hand out these affordable burgundy pins and everyone will look extra trendy and on point.
11. West Emory Wine Tasting Accessories Set ($15): Feeling like a total newbie? Ensure you're getting the FULL wine tasting experience with this accessories kit. It comes with a corkscrew and cards ready for you to fill out (read: Let your inner sommelier shine).

Otter Lutra kick off their Women's Championship 1 title defence this weekend with games against Sheffield Sharks (13:05 Sat), Leeds Sharks (16:20 Sat) & Tyldesley (10am Sun). Lutra have been undefeated in Championship 1 for the last two years (2013/2014 & 2014/2015) and will be looking to win the division for the third consecutive year in 2015/2016.
The defending champs will be looking to turn the tables on Sheffield this year after going down 8-6 in Phase 1 of Div 1 last year. Of the opponents they take on this weekend Lutra has the best track record against Tyldesley winning both of their last encounters; 15-10 in Championship 1 last year, and 17-5 in Division 2 earlier this season. While the game vs Leeds is likely to go down to the wire. The teams were virtually inseparable last year with the Div 1 clash ending in a 6-all draw before Otter came up trumps with a 9-8 win in the championship 1 replay.
Good luck Lutra.

I am specifically interested in how Strickland interprets the relationship between time and cyberspace, mentioned in the first section of "Quantum Poetics: Six Thoughts", entitled "One: Time Dimension".
Stephanie interprets time as an indefinite and irreducible concept we've appropriately condensed linearly to therefore possess a beginning and an end. We've managed to simplify time to the feeling of continually progressing, which has come to suffice as an appropriate interpretation of time.
But Strickland argues that the unconstrained dimensionality of cyberspace destroys these pretenses we've attached to time as well as the relativity we pin between time and the objects we use to measure it. Through the undimensionalities of cyberspace, time evades material associations and explores "connected spaces in which different regions of space and time are spliced together, but more than spliced; in which histories are alterable, always different, manifesting in many media, driven to immaterial spaces by the assaults of technology" (Strickland 27). The connected spaces Strickland mentions in this excerpt addresses a space of intersectionality, where mediums, text, history, and references overlap. Where cyberspace can erect a technological space of immateriality where print could not. A space where time can not be tracked, where time reversal is possible, and where the limitations of text are shattered. She portrays cyberspace as a channel or medium that has the ability to access new dimensions and therefore possesses qualities text doesn't have.
In Vniverse, the intereactiveity between these graphical constellations and the reader is fascinating and immediately appeals to senses text couldn't possibly evoke.
But there's one poem in particular that I wish to close read. 179, entitled crystals I believe captures the utility of electronic reading and the difficulties of communication, which we've mentioned while reading Infinite Jest. If you can't make out the poem above, it reads, "A complex message can pass only between/-emanation and absorption-/complexities of structure: In crystals".
Crystals are complex luminous crystalline structures with lattices that intersects at definite angles.
Both the utility of electronic reading and the difficulties of communication are reflected in the properties of a crystal. "A complex message can pass between/-emanation and absorption-", suggest that one must be willing to incorporate and emanate text through a multi-faceted medium such as cyberspace. If we refer back to "Quantum Poetics: Six Thoughts", we see that the crystal possesses both the qualities and abilities cyberspace wields. Hence, the complex structure of the crystals consist of lattices that intersect, which plainly mirrors the space of immateriality Stephanie describes as spliced, overlapping and intersecting. Hence text must pass through and undergo a transformation to the acquire multi-dimensional qualities of electronic literature. A transformation, as Stephanie describes as one where only technology can coax literature into a space that reengineers time. By "complex" she could also be comparing crystals to the inconceivably complex programming of binary coding in which all programs, and therefore electronic literature operate under.
But as I've mentioned before Stephanie describes cyberspace as a medium or channel where text undergo metamorphosis, where they pass between emanation and absorption to become electronic literature, thus imitating the complexities of a crystal. While it might be a long shot, traveling through this channel or medium of cyberspace, can be chalk up to being absorb into a medium. Electronic reading, as one of my classmates have expressed is frustrating. But why is electronic literature frustrating, because it possesses several qualities, it engages more senses than text can evoke, and it isn't as forthright as reading. Vniverse's interface gives the reader control, and considering that individuals are so complaisant and have adapted so faithfully to the modes of reading, where the author possesses full control, electronic literature defies the typical reading experience and instead displaces this authority onto you. Complex certainly, but also why crystals serve as the perfect metaphor for electronic literature!

In today's world, we are lacking spaces to come together and experience awe, illustrated by Alain de Botton's metaphor of "atheist cathedrals." LUMEN PROJECT takes this metaphor literally. What many of us seek is a church-like context, free of the trappings and baggage of religious or culturally specific iconography, within which we can congregate to "recover that sense of human belonging." (Stephen Batchelor), We wish to experience magic and stillness, and a renewed sense of SOMETHING GREATER. The LUMEN PROJECT and its partners look to address this hole in the core of our being.
In January 2019, we sought to further hone our methods and mediums. Smaller scale events took place at Eric Ericsonhallen throughout the month, including musical performances, sound and light installations. We examined guided meditations, and variations of the "gong bath." It's our desire to reinvigorate these practices that are now seen as the territory of "New Age", to recontextualize, and to examine them from new angles. This series will be ongoing.
LUMEN PROJECT STOCKHOLM was the first large scale event presented by the organization, (see details in past EVENTS)... offering a shared experience devoted to uniting players and listeners alike. We intend on bringing this format further afield. These 12-hour happenings seek to MELT borders between the individual and the collective.
Although it can be enjoyed on the same surface level as any concert (i.e. as entertainment), these EVENTS are conducive to meditation, sleep, and transcendence… and aim for a higher social, even spiritual, purpose.
The relationship between performer and audience is altered. Performer and listener are present together, on equal terms: democracy in action.
We have devoted our energies to the larger long-term project of establishing such events/ installations of varying scale, first locally and domestically (Sweden/ Stockholm,) and eventually worldwide.
Sound/ art is ideally presented as pure information, so it can't be commodified in the realm of pop culture, nor obfuscate/ put behind glass, or otherwise made inaccessible. In this culture where capitalism dictates nearly all our behavior, what we consume, how we communicate, the work we will curate operates outside this matrix. The goal is egalitarian…and above all, unifying.
The underlying purposes of this effort defy language and jargon. They are inexplicable, as in: "The Tao which is spoken, is not the Tao." (I-Ching)
It's our desire that this effort takes the form of workshops, lectures, etc. We begin this experiment with the employment of music and artworks that walk the line between the installation and the performance… "drone" fits the bill, as it is "a musical expression of suspension in space…it is itself a form of prayer, a means for experiencing unity. It is not code indicating something else." (J. Harvey, 1999 – In Quest of Spirit, Thoughts on Music)
love and gratitude as expressed thought art and science
