Jeff Thomas
Jeff Thomas was born in Los Angeles, California in 1988. He developed an interest in art early on, and took private lessons in landscape painting while still in elementary school. As a teenager, he was drawn toward more narrative work and felt challenged by a handful of classmates who were known for drawing comics well. He began drawing Pon and Zi around the time he first started dating, but never expected the series to go viral online. Always more focused on more "serious" illustration, entirely unrelated to Pon and Zi, new comics would be posted intermittently on his DeviantArt account. Jeff was accepted as an illustration major at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, but put earning a degree on hold while he traveled to England to oversee a line of products being licensed for sale in Europe. Another product line was manufactured out of France, and several offers were made to turn Pon and Zi into an animated series. Jeff turned down each of these offers to maintain the original intent of the comic. Jeff is currently living in Los Angeles once again, spending one day a week to crank out a new Pon&Zi comic and devoting the rest of his time to building his "other" portfolio, hoping to either apply to reenroll and finish his degree or work as a freelance illustrator without one.

text: Pete's Broken Guitar June 30, 2016 in 1989 The Who - Houston, Texas 1989There are few things in this world that are worth more broken than when new, but Pete Townshend's Rickenbacker is one of them.It was their 25th Anniversary Tour of America and the band were going to put out a live album, they needed a sleeve and I wanted something better than the obligatory live photo.I had heard that Pete had recently smashed a guitar out of frustration, the damned thing would not stay in tune. But instead of making a big spectacle out of the act he did it offstage, leaning it up against a wall and whacking it with his foot, the guitar snapped in half and the body broke into three pieces.It seemed the perfect thing to shoot for the LP cover, We borrowed John Entwhistle's spider necklace and got one of Roger's beaten up microphones. We built a small studio in the dressing room, Starr styled the photo of the three objects and as we were finishing I knocked out a couple of frames of just the guitar.I think it sums Pete up quite well, and it makes a pleasant change as a way of portraying one of the worlds finest Rock Stars.

Diolkos - Swept paths
Turn simulation in sharp curves.
In order to study vehicle maneuvers in sharp curves we must know the space needed for a truck while traversing along a turning path. Key feature to specify the required space is the paths of the rear wheels during the turning maneuver.
The road designer must know the swept paths curves during the design time to specify with detail pavement widenings on curves with a high degree of curvature.
Diolkos has the ability to compute swept paths for variety type of vehicles. The program computes the boundary area that vehicle shares during the maneuver, as well as the envelop curves for the front and rear wheels.
Although the program calculates swept paths based on German RAS-K-1 standards, the user can define various vehicles types by modifying the default values.
This ability is very useful while studying projects like parking facilities, barns, worksites, factories etc.

Yum! Brands (NYSE:YUM), the parent company of fast-food restaurant chains KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, realized massive growth and profits from expanding its KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in China in the last few decades. However, a slowing Chinese economy and the beginnings of market saturation in major cities there have crimped the company's total revenue growth. The stock fell sharply after the last quarterly earnings report as Yum! management cut its year-end profit forecasts for 2014.
However, Yum!'s future might still include incredibly high growth not unlike what China delivered in the past. This time, though, Africa could be the growth driver.
Africa set for long-term growth
The economies of many African nations are starting to climb in a way similar to China's growth following economic reform in the 1970s and 1980s when a flood of foreign direct investment and infrastructure improvements helped the country transform from an agricuture-dominated economy to a service and export-dominated one. According to the African Development Bank Group, Africa's economy (excluding South Africa) grew by 6.8% year over year in 2014, compared to 6% in 2013.
Business and infrastructure is booming in Africa, not only based on the continent's resource economy, but also sectors including leisure and consumer goods. Many businesses around the world are seeking investments in Africa. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama and over 200 business leaders attended a forum on promoting African-U.S. trade.
Yum! Brands' push into Africa
Yum! made its first major push to bring its Pizza Hut concept to Africa last September, opening two locations in Johannesburg, South Africa. This is the start to what Pizza Hut management says will be a major push to spread the chain across the continent, with "dozens" more Pizza Huts in South Africa in the next three years and expansion to other African nations.
Yum! opened its first KFC on the continent in 2010, and now has nearly 1,000 KFC locations in 17 African countries. YUM! continues to increase the pace of building new KFC locations in Africa with 70 new restaurants in 2013 and what was expected to be 130 in 2014.
Between these two restaurant brands (in 2013 Yum! management said that Taco Bell in Africa was "not in the cards" yet), Yum! is seeking a much bigger African presence in the near future. As Scott Bergren, Pizza Hut CEO and Yum! Brands chief innovation officer, said in a press release in September 2014:
Africa is an emerging continent with more than 1 billion people and endless possibilities for us to grow Pizza Hut over the long-term. We're pleased to bring Pizza Hut to South Africa and look forward to expanding the Brand in other African countries in the future. We've just scratched the surface of growth and we're aggressively accelerating Pizza Hut's development across the Delivery, Express, and Dine-In channels globally.
With predicted consumer spending of $2.5 trillion by 2020, Africa presents a great opportunity for a consumer brand such as Yum!. The company can target its international food options at the continent's growing middle class and young population.
Is Yum! Brands a value now?
Investors who bought in early to Yum! Brands' massive growth in China would have been rewarded nicely in the following years. However, now that Yum! shares are down on flat growth, is potential growth in Africa a reason to bet on this company?
Yum! is a leader in gaining on emerging-market trends. Even in 2013, with growth down from prior years, the company opened nearly 1,950 locations outside the U.S., primarily in emerging markets. In the U.S., there are 58 Yum! restaurants per million people. However, in emerging markets, that number drops to two restaurants per million people. In Africa, with a population over 1 billion and more than 50 countries, the number is far lower. That's why the company believes it has plenty of room to run expanding in Africa.
With shares down about 12% from their high in July 2014, regardless of income growth in the most recent quarter, Yum! looks like a value. Couple that with the potential for massive growth in emerging markets outside of China, particularly in Africa, and this could be a great value play.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
The eyes are usually the most attractive facial feature. As the principal component of expression, the eyes communicate our mood and attitude to others. The eyes have a great deal to do with how people perceive us as they glance at our facial features because the eyes are what they first noticed. In the same fashion, when aging changes occur they are first seen around the eyes. These are related to the structures surrounding the eyes, including the eyelids and brows.
The signs of aging around the eyes are slightly different for the upper and lower eyelids. The upper eyelids can show skin wrinkling and sagging as well as some bulging of fat pockets, particularly visible in the eyelid near the nose. The lower eyelids are usually associated with similar changes of skin wrinkling and drooping, but the fat pockets can be more pronounced. These changes to the upper and lower eyelids not only confer an aged appearance but often display a tired or saddened impression. Many of these changes occur as part of the normal aging process as the skin loses some of its firmness and gravity prevails. In some cases, however, these changes occur in younger people as a result of heredity.
Blepharoplasty aims to reverse some of the unfavorable features of the eyelids to provide a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Blepharoplasty may address the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both. Regardless of which eyelids are rejuvenated, Dr. Samaha's goal is a natural, "unoperated" look which enhances the youthful glow of the eyes and the entire face. Dr. Samaha's technique emphasizes a minimally invasive approach which minimizes bruising to allow a faster recovery. When performed meticulously, blepharoplasty is a painless procedure. Dr. Samaha favors local anesthesia with sedation for the procedure (see anesthesia).
Dr. Samaha's considerable experience in facial surgery also allows him to avoid two potential "traps" that surgeons inexperienced with rejuvenation surgery can fall into, leading to a poor result. The first is to fail to recognize that the drooping of the upper eyelid is not due to the eyelid itself but to a droopy brow. In such a case, the patient needs a brow lift to have a great esthetic result, whereas a blepharoplasty would not provide an improvement and may even worsen the droopiness. The second is to fail to recognize some instances where the lower lid may appear puffy but it is not due to excessive fat pockets. Rather it because the normal cheek fat under the eyelid has dropped as a result of age or heredity. This creates a hollowness along the bony edge below the eye, which in turn gives the illusion that the normal fat pocket above this hollowed bone is bulging. In such a case, this hollowed area over the bone needs to be filled in with either fat or injectable fillers to provide the desired result.
Dr. Samaha performs blepharoplasty alone or in conjunction with a facelift or browlift as part of an overall facial rejuvenation. In his experience, blepharoplasty carries a high success rate and the improvement can be significant and long lasting. Certainly, the aging process continues, but problems such as bags under the eyes or sagging skin of the upper eyelid are unlikely to return following the procedure, even with advancing age. In Dr. Samaha's practice, it is associated with a very high degree of satisfaction.
The day of the surgery
Blepharoplasty is performed as an outpatient surgery. It is painless and patients are able to return home within 30 minutes to an hour after surgery. A small tape is placed on the upper lids if these have been operated. This tape does not affect opening and closing the eyelids. The lower lids simply have a lubricant placed under the eyelashes.
Following surgery
The eyelids and areas around the eyes are slightly swollen and discolored for about 5-7 days following surgery. Cold compresses, eye drops and gels are also prescribed to sooth the eyes and keep them moist. Water-based make-up can be applied at 4-5 days after surgery to conceal any residual discoloration.
Accessory procedures
For some patients, a blepharoplasty alone will provide an excellent esthetic result and help the patient achieve the rejuvenation they are seeking. However, as mentioned above, some patients may require other procedures either as an alternative to blepharoplasty or as an adjunct to it. Most frequently, these consist of a brow lift or fat injections. In addition, the wrinkles in the skin at the corner of the eye (frequently referred to as "crow's feet") may be improved but not necessarily eliminated with blepharoplasty alone. Botox injections are usually quite effective to treat these lines, for that extra enhancement.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can I have blepharoplasty?
There is no specific age. While blepharoplasty can be performed with the goal of rejuvenating an aged appearance around the eyes, it is also performed on younger people who, because of hereditary factors, have puffy lower lids due to fat bags or droopy or excessive upper lid skin. These are often hereditary "family traits".
What are the restrictions after surgery?
The main restriction is the avoidance of vigorous exercise and heavy lifting for about 10 days. Other maneuvers that require straining, such as bending forward are also to be avoided. Otherwise, patients may carry out usual activities.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery time varies depending on whether blepharoplasty is performed alone or in conjunction with another procedure. When performed alone, recovery time is usually about one week. Patients are quite presentable at that time and can plan work or social activities accordingly. If it is done in conjunction with a facelift, 4-5 additional days may be required.
Is it a painful procedure?
No. Blepharoplasty is no a painful procedure. Although Dr. Samaha prescribes pain medications for his patients, they usually do not use them.
What about bruising?
Blepharoplasty is usually associated with some bruising. The location of the bruising is usually in the eyelids operated and surrounding the eyes. The degree of bruising depends on the surgical technique and the patient's own tendency to bruise. The discoloration from bruising will gradually diminish and migrate down the face in the first few days following surgery. Dr. Samaha uses advanced, minimally invasive techniques to minimize bruising and swelling after surgery. Patients who have a natural tendency to bruise easily will experience slightly more bruising in the initial recovery period.
How long does it take to see the result?
After the initial swelling subsides in the first 1 week, the result is apparent, but some subtle minimal swelling remains. Further "setting" continues in the weeks to months following surgery. Usually, within 2-3 months, the final result is apparent.
Will I need another procedure in a few years as I continue to age?
A second procedure is seldom needed because the problems addressed with blepharoplasty do not frequently return.
For more information on blepharoplasty, please contact Dr. Samaha.

Weekend Roundup, Sticking Around Edition: September 4, 2012/
Penn State played football on Saturday. They lost to Ohio. They're in a place, mentally, physically, and as an institution, that is so horrific, that you wouldn't wish it upon your worst enemy. But they had a packed stadium. They probably will continue to have a packed stadium for some time. People in Happy Valley will ride this out. And someday, someway, Penn State will have some semblance of a comeback as a football team. And yes, this has nothing to do with Michigan. And yes, this whole idea of sticktoittiveness having some link to where we are as Michigan fans now that we got our necks stepped on is way too dramatic, if not borderline inappropriate. Ours is a football problem...but a problem nonetheless. Alas, we have reached the point in the season (and this won't be the last time) where I bash the team soon after the game, then sleep on it, then look for reasons to make corned beef hash next Saturday morning by citing homer data.
Maybe Alabama is that good. I give you
Various recent Alabama scores: 2011 Citrus Bowl: Alabama 49, MSU 7...2011 Arkansas: 38-14...2011 Florida: 38-10...2011 Tennessee: 37-6...2011 Auburn: 42-14...National title game: 21-0 over LSU, LSU never crosses midfield.

Their nickel or their safeties, you could action the other way, they weren't moving. They were waiting. It could have been the backer, depends if they dropped the safety down or the backer out, drop the safety inside -- they weren't moving. - Brady Hoke
Fitzgerald Toussiant will play against Air Force. From MLive...
Toussaint's loss was particularly impactful against the Tide, who held Michigan (0-1) to 69 yards rushing. Tailbacks Vincent Smith and Thomas Rawls combined for just 42. Toussaint surpassed 100 yards rushing in four of his six games last year as the Wolverines' designated featured back. He finished with 1,041 yards on the season, Michigan's first 1,000-yard tailback since Mike Hart in 2007.
We are far from being "back," but the building blocks are here. From Freep / Maize and Brew:
The only thing to take away from this game is a deeper understanding of what greatness really looks like. Michigan got a glimpse of a truly great team, losing completely and in every aspect of the game. But U-M is also slowly building its program in the image of an Alabama or an LSU. Strong defense matched with an efficient pro-style offense. It may not be there yet -- Saturday showed just how far away things really are -- but if there is hope for Michigan, it is this: The kind of team the Wolverines hope to build exists already.
The goal is still intact. Angel writes...
What the effect of that loss might be was hard to tell in the moments following the loss. But at least one player, senior safety and team captain Jordan Kovacs while disappointed with the Wolverines' showing, knows that in the end, a loss to Alabama does not have to derail their overall season goals. Michigan coach Brady Hoke has called last year's 11-2 season with a Sugar Bowl victory a disappointment because the Wolverines did not win the Big Ten title. Kovacs' point after the Alabama loss was this: The Big Ten championship is still on the table. "Oregon lost this game (last year) and did the same thing," Kovacs said, referring to the Ducks reaching the Rose Bowl.

How to Find a Good Product for Markdown Online
If you want to be able to do mark down editing on the Internet, looking at all the different products available may just seem to be a little overwhelming.
After all, with so many out there, how do you know which is the best program offering mark down online for your needs?
Easy to use -- Your first step should be to find something that is easy to use. Too many companies offering mark down online make the interface too difficult to understand. This leaves customers annoyed and desperately looking for something better.
Easy to invite your team -- If you are like the majority of people, you have a team that works on all your edits. This means, in many cases, it is better if you can all have the authority to the same document and all be making edits no matter where you are located.
This is why you should always be sure the mark down editor online that you choose makes it easy for you to invite your entire team, and for them to be able to make edits.
Easy storing and organizing -- Another problem with some companies offering mark down online is that they make their site pretty but difficult when you try to store or organize documents.
Be sure the site you choose has easy storage options, and allows you to organize all of your work in easy to find ways.
Easy importing and exporting -- If the site offering markdown online that you find cannot even be bothered to make importing and exporting documents incredibly easy, you just know other things are going to be difficult as well.
Test a site when you first gain admittance, and see how easy it is to import and export. If it is simple, chances are everything else will be as well.

CNN's Don Lemon Brutally Takes Down President Trump On Live TVBy Aimee Lutkin
On Tuesday, Donald Trump held a rally in Phoenix. As much as the president loves talking at press conferences, he loves his rallies even more, because the crowd goes wild for him. Much of what Trump said during his rally was on his usual themes: He brought up the size of his crowds, the "few" protestors, and the terrible news media. But he also brought Charlottesville back up. Almost two weeks ago, a "Unite the Right" rally was held around a statue of Confederate general Robert E.Lee.
The following day, a car drove into a group of counter-protestors, killing a young woman named Heather Heyer.
While many loved the response of former president Barack Obama, Trump's left a lot to be desired. He initially attributed the violence to people on "both sides," then gave a slightly more satisfactory speech admitting Nazis are bad, which was soon followed by a press conference that upset a lot of people, to put it lightly.
The backlash was so intense that Trump actually seemed to notice, and during his rally he brought the subject up again, doubling down on his comments about there being bad people on both sides. He also kept mentioning a potential pardon for Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a man who is held in criminal contempt for deliberately targeting Latino people in a well-known racial discrimination case.
At this point, it's strange that we continue to be stunned what happens in today's world, but there are still some surprises. For instance, how fed up CNN host Don Lemon is with all this ridiculousness.
Following the rally's airing on CNN, Lemon just let loose:
He starts by saying, "Well, what do you say to that? I am just going to speak from the heart here. What we have witnessed was a total eclipse of the facts."
That kind of sounds like a line he practiced, but the emotion behind it is real.
"He's unhinged," Lemon continued. "It's embarrassing. And I don't mean for us, the media, because he went after us, but for the country. This is who we elected President of the United States? A man who is so petty he goes after people who he deems to be his enemy, like an imaginary friend of a 6-year-old?"
"His speech was without thought. It was without reason, it was devoid of facts, it was devoid of wisdom, there was no gravitas, there was no sanity there. He was like a child blaming a sibling ... 'He did it! I didn't do it.'
"He certainly opened up the race wound from Charlottesville," he went on. "A man clearly wounded by the rational people who are abandoning him in droves ... A man backed into the corner, it seems, by circumstances beyond his control and beyond his understanding.
"That's the truth," he concluded. "If you watched that speech as an American you had to be thinking, what in the world is going on?"
What in the world is going on is a question many of us have been asking since November.
