Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has the top-selling jersey in the NBA, and his head coach Steve Kerr thinks that his star guard might be more popular than one of his former teammates.
Yes, that former teammate.
Kerr told the media before the Warriors' game against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night that Curry might be more popular than His Airness, Michael Jordan.
"The crowd size is similar, but the biggest difference is the children that gravitate toward Steph," Kerr told reporters comparing the fan base of the two players. "You see so many little kids with Steph jerseys begging for his autograph."
Kerr believes that the gravitation toward Curry is due to his size, which is small by NBA standards. The two-time MVP stands at 6-foot-3 and weighs 190 pounds. His thin frame and perimeter oriented game make Curry more relatable than the 6-foot-6, 195-pound Jordan or the 6-foot-8, 250-pound LeBron James.
"They all identify with him," Kerr told reporters. "He's probably the rare superstar where an 8-year-old kid can go, 'He looks just like me. Maybe I can do it."
Warriors forward Kevin Durant also see's Curry's stature as one of the reasons for his immense popularity.
"He is relatable being 6-foot-3 and baby-faced," Durant said. "When he was in high school, he was probably 6-feet and 160 and to make it to be one of the top five players in the world, well it feels like anybody can do it. He's inspirational."
Durant, however, also believes that the age of social media has buoyed Curry in a way that Jordan was unable to benefit from.
"MJ didn't grow up in the social media era and he was still huge," Durant said. "Imagine if he grew up in this era being Michael Jordan, being the first global NBA superstar. Can you imagine what his following would be?"
Jordan did OK without the benefit of Twitter and Facebook, as the Jordan Brand continues to flourish well after his retirement. We'll see if Curry can say the same after he hangs up his Under Armour sneakers.

Aspiring authors receive advice
For the second year in a row, the Carver School Road Library has played host to the Indie Author Workshop. The purpose of the workshop was to assist those looking to have their manuscripts published or just to find a way to get their thoughts on paper.
The workshop, which was held Saturday, March 10, brought in people from various stages of the book writing process. The organizers wanted to provide potential authors with multiple options of writing, publishing and even the promotional aspects of the process.
"For some of the authors, I gave them homework and that was to finish their books because people have a lot of thoughts in their minds but they have to get it down on paper," said author and organizer Shelva R. Davis.
"A lot of potential authors are fearful of starting, but you never know until you try," she continued.
Latisha R. Stuckey, another organizer and author, presented a slide show that dealt with marketing of books upon completion. She advised those in attendance to use social media as a marketing tool because most sites are free.
For Davis, she stated that her "book is her baby." She says the feeling of receiving a copy of her first book in the mail was better than childbirth or even receiving her master's degree. From all the hard work, sweat and tears she put into it, she actually cried tears of joy.
Stuckey said, "You definitely can't describe the feeling. When I was 14 I said I was going to write a book about my life and 20 something years later, it's finally here.
They both said to have the chance to have someone else have that same feeling makes the workshops worth while. From personal experience they both know how therapeutic writing can be.
Joining Davis and Stuckey as one of the organizers was Yolanda M. Johnson-Bryant. She provided information about the business component to writing and selling their books.
Charlene Edwards of the Carver School Road Library says she was surprised by the diverse group of people who decided to come out and participate. She says there were men and women of all ages and all walks of life that came out.
The group plans to have yet another workshop this fall because of the positive feedback they continue to receive. They stated their hopes are to help "any and everyone" who has a book in them.

By Dust Cwaine
Pride is always a fucking assload of events that conflict with each other, and most are ridiculous. Some shine brightly as beacons of inclusivity and actual pride, and others are corporate, soulless, exclusive events geared towards the media's portrayal of the "perfect" Gay Man. This list I have compiled is both an act of advertising and a reading of the somewhat ridiculousness of these money-grabbing events. So, let's celebrate the season of local venues jacking their prices from $5 to $20 by allowing a cynical drag person tell you what's up, because it's the year of the queer!
August 1-6
A grimier version of Pride. As of this moment there aren't many details for this, but I want to mention it because Alternative Prides are important. Maybe this will be the protest we need? Keep posted by following @vanartleisure on Instagram.
Rickshaw Theatre, August 2
Hosted by Vancouver's own PUPPYTEETH. Look for drag critters and weird, depressing art in a grimy East Van location.
East Side Studios Warehouse, August 3
The biggest celebration of queer inclusivity that will happen in Vancouver over Pride. Safe space, queer beer (Spectrum), drag performers of literally all backgrounds. MUST ATTEND.
Westin Grand Hotel, August 4
Dubbed as "Pride's only pool party," this event will have everything: abs, twinks, thongs, speedos, the smell of sunscreen, and drag queens in a pool! Also Nick Bertosi, easily one of Vancouver's best DJs.
London Pub, July 29 and August 5
East Vancouver's only Weekly Drag Show. This is my show, so I won't say anything more…
Downtown Vancouver, August 5
Corporations sharing their money, while community groups such as the Kennel Club join. What was once a protest has now become a fetishization of Gay. I will say that there won't be police this year, and that is amazing, because marginalized groups within the LGBT community do not feel safe. NOW THAT IS A PROTEST! This event is very het friendly (that's heterosexual, for all you unhip hets out there).
The Emerald, August 5
The Cobalt may be defunct, but that will not keep Peach Cobblah down. She is back with a fucking sweaty-ass, queer, hip-hop extravaganza, with drag performers at a new location: the Emerald.
Bute Street and Davie Street, August 5
It is their 10th anniversary, and it's gonna be a wild time! An all ages drag and performance show featuring local performers and Trixie Mattel and Sasha Velour of RuPaul's Drag Race fame.

It's a new day for cardiac, vascular and stroke research
HAMILTON, ON, March 11 /CNW/ - Hamilton's role as one of the world's leading centres in cardiac, vascular and stroke research was amplified today with the grand opening of the David BraleyCardiac, Vascular and Stroke Research Institute at the Hamilton General Hospital site of Hamilton Health Sciences.
The Research Institute is a six-storey building comprised of 200,000 square feet of research space, laboratories, meeting rooms, offices and breakout spaces. It also houses Canada's largest biobank which stores more than 1.8 million tissue and genetic research samples from approximately 250,000 participants globally. The total project, including state-of-the-art equipment, totalled close to $100 million.
The grand opening event was attended by many notable dignitaries including the Honourable Tony Clement, Federal Minister of Industry.
"The Government of Canada is proud to partner with the David Braley Cardiac, Vascular and Stroke Research Institute," said Minister Clement. "The superior research, treatment and healthcare service that will take place here will benefit not only the Hamilton-Niagara region, but indeed all of Canada."
The Research Institute brings together two world-renowned research teams - the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) led by Executive Director Dr. Salim Yusuf, and the Thrombosis and Atherosclerosis Research Institute (TaARI) led by Director Dr. Jeffrey Weitz. Working side-by-side for the first time, these two teams will be able to share ideas and knowledge that will improve the health of millions of people around the world.
The building is named after business leader David Braley who donated $10 million to the project.
"I am very pleased to support research at this fine institution as it impacts the health of people in this city and around the world," said Mr. Braley, President of Orlick Industries Limited. "The teams led by Dr. Yusuf and Dr. Weitz are doing outstanding work and we, as donors, need to support them. Their research is changing the standards in medicine and we should be delighted that they have their home base here in Hamilton."
In addition to Mr. Braley's gift, infrastructure and operating funds were raised through competitive grants to the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
PHRI and TaARI have international reputations for innovation and excellence. PHRI conducts clinical trials in 83 countries focusing on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and the societal influences on health such as ethnicity and geography. TaARI (formerly the Henderson Research Centre) made history almost 30 years ago with the world's first clinical trial demonstrating the effectiveness of using aspirin to prevent stroke. Since then, TaARI has become an international leader in research on vascular disease, specifically blood clots.
"The David Braley Research Institute is a wonderful addition to our organization and our city," said Murray Martin, President and CEO of Hamilton Health Sciences. "Most importantly, we are privileged to have such a talented team of researchers gathered here in this building. Their work is awe-inspiring and we are grateful for their contributions to cardiac, vascular and stroke research. I am confident that this infrastructure investment will enable these researchers to continue leading the way in best care in Hamilton and worldwide. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Minister Clement, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, and Mr. David Braleyfor their generous support which helped to make this building a reality."
PHRI and TaARI are expanding rapidly and together they attract more than $150 million in research funding every year. Major funders include the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, and several international pharmaceutical companies.
"Investigators at the Population Health Research Institute have made major contributions to understanding the causes of heart attack and stroke worldwide, and what can be done to prevent and better treat these conditions for the benefit of millions of individuals," said Dr. Salim Yusuf, who is also the Vice President of Research and Chief Scientific Officer at Hamilton Health Sciences. "This new research facility brings this important group together with another world class basic science team headed by Dr. Weitz. The synergy between these two teams will substantially increase the innovation and momentum of a range of different types of research activities."
Dr. Weitz is also looking forward to enhancing the research activities of the two teams. "Finding answers to complex health problems requires a trans-disciplinary approach that extends from the bench to the bedside and on to the community," he said. "The David Braley Research Institute brings this capacity under a single roof. Because we now can perform studies that address problems from the perspectives of genes to molecules and from patients to populations, we are ideally positioned to find new solutions for global health problems."

Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Repeat./
It was Jesse's birthday and I brought his class Rice Krispy treats. They're a raucous group of 25 kids, grades Kindergarten, first and second combined. Jesse is the teacher. After we sugared the kids up, Jesse sat them down and asked them to give me their attention. I was about to teach them to meditate.
Here's what I said: I am going to teach you to do something you have known how to do since you were one second old. It's something every baby knows how to do. I am going to teach you to breathe.
It worked. I had their attention.
I taught them square breathing. With an index finger I swiped the top line of the square and told them to inhale for 5 seconds, then hold it. I drew the next imaginary line in the air and told them to exhale for 5 seconds, then hold. We drew the bottom line and the last line. When they were done I asked if anyone noticed anything. The kid who waves his hand in the air and says Ooh, ooh, ooh waved his hand at me. I called on him and he said: I feel calmer.
I'm thinking about this experience now as I prepare to teach lawyers about meditation at a Continuing Legal Education seminar. If the primary school kids could get it, there's a chance the lawyers might too.

A better way of getting to the heart of the matter
18 October 2017
E-discovery tools are reinventing the art of the possible in complex investigations, and even pointing the way towards 'self-policing' enterprises
The power of e-discovery tools has grown enormously. Enabled by the breakneck pace of technological change new capabilities draw on artificial intelligence (AI), advanced analytics and big data technologies to put unprecedented power into the hands of investigators.
It's a timely development. Although complex investigations are a feature of the business and financial world, when one strikes boards tend to panic. There is seldom a response plan and the location within the corporate network of critical structured data (such as an accounting system) and unstructured data (such as emails) is usually unknown. Location and mapping of this information is hugely challenging.
E-discovery processes have long been used to move from large pools of information to more focused, manageable content. They fulfil the same purpose in investigations. But whereas much of this information used to be evidence (spoken and written) sourced from witnesses, experts, and connected parties, digital has changed the game, upping the scale of challenge but also offering extraordinary new solutions.
Nowadays, 90 per cent of information is created electronically. And quantities are surging: 90 per cent of the world's data has been created in the past two years, which is why innovations in the investigations space are so essential. After all, getting the investigation process wrong can be costly. Regulators penalise poor practice and reputational losses can be hugely damaging.
Self-serve and analytics
As an electronic investigations expert I get a great view of the latest advances. Besides the ability to bring together structured and unstructured evidence, two developments stand out for their forensic impact: selfserve and sophisticated analytics powered by AI. The former empowers investigators and litigation lawyers to do more analysis themselves. PwC's Gateway is an example. Overlaid on a data analytics platform, this data visualisation and reporting tool graphically represents complex findings from structured and unstructured data sources in a way that is easy to understand.
Users can instantly see who has had access to what information when, by simply analysing email traffic to produce visual maps of relationships. The other development, analytics, draws on the latest innovations in AI and machine learning to rapidly (and automatically) get to the heart of the most relevant information in an investigation. Whereas investigators used to develop hypotheses and then use key terms to search for in-scope data they can now avoid the keyword challenge and zero in on what matters with unprecedented effectiveness.
Taken together, self-serve and analytics provide a unified platform through which investigators can assemble and interrogate all evidence much more quickly, and with far greater accuracy, than anyone imagined possible just a short time ago.
Take an expenses fraud, for example. As well as interviewing individuals and witnesses investigators will need to review expenses records and, in parallel, people's calendars, emails and mobile phone records (including GPS co-ordinates). Analysed with the right tools this patchwork can deliver a picture of core patterns and relationships: who was where when, and whether their claims were legitimate or not.
Dynamic learning
With their arms around large quantities of structured and unstructured data like this investigators 'simply' ask the system to prove or disprove their hypotheses. Learning dynamically, digital investigations software such as Brainspace Discovery offers interactive visualisations and search tools that reveal stories that could otherwise often remain hidden in the data. Thanks to solutions like this, investigators have everything they need to create networks of evidence, ultimately revealing what happened and who was involved. Previously, it would have taken weeks or months to get to the answers. Now it can take just days.
Today, AI is being used to build a picture of historical events but soon we will see it applied to picking up anomalous behaviours within organisations, predicting crimes and stopping them before they occur. Of course, big issues around data privacy will need to be addressed before this can happen but over time it is highly likely that we will see the arrival of the truly adaptive, selfpolicing enterprise.

Information on the terrorist who carried out today's suicide bombing on King George Street in Jerusalem
The terrorist who committed today's suicide bombing in Jerusalem was a Palestinian policeman, Mohammed Mashud Mohammed Hashaikeh, born in 1981, from the village of Taluza near Nablus.
Hashaikeh was arrested in mid-February by the Palestinian security services following information they received about his intention to carry out a suicide attack in Israel. Hashaikeh admitted during questioning to planning to carry out a suicide attack at the mall in Raanana and that he was working under the direction of Tanzim and Islamic Jihad operatives in northern Samaria. Hashaikeh even turned over the explosive belt he was going to use to carry out the attack. It also emerged from Hashaikeh's questioning that he as also involved in the attempted car bomb attack near Mei Ami on February 8.
Several days after his arrest, the Palestinian Authority asked Israel to allow the transfer of Hashaikeh to jail in Ramallah. The reason for the request – like similar requests made recently by the Palestinian Authority of Israel – was that the Authority could keep Hashaikeh under "quality" arrest in Ramallah (namely, in a proper jail from which escape would be more difficult). Israel acceded to the request and allowed Hashaikeh to be transferred to Ramallah.
From today's events it is evident that Hashaikeh was in fact released after being transferred to Ramallah.
These events underscore not only the growing involvement of the Palestinian Authority security apparatuses in terror, but the refusal of the PA to arrest terrorists in an effective way for a period of time, even when the PA knows for certain that these individuals intend to carry out mass terror attacks.

What do pets get up to while their owners are away?
What do pets get up to while their owners are away? Yes, the premise of this lively animated action comedy is essentially Toy Story with domestic animals. Instead of Woody and Buzz, Illumination studio, makers of the Despicable Me and Minions movies, give us rival dogs, cuddly eager-to-please Jack Russell Max (voiced by comedian Louis C.K.) and lumbering Newfoundland Duke (Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet), both of them competitors for the affections of owner Katie (Ellie Kemper).
Naturally, they have to learn to work together after they end up on the streets, at risk from relentless dogcatchers and from an army of sewer-dwelling animals led by a rabble-rousing rabbit revolutionary (a surprisingly good fit for motor-mouth comic Kevin Hart). What ensues is basically one long, frenetic chase, but kids will enjoy the slapstick silliness while pet owners may find themselves chuckling in recognition, or possibly even cringing, at many of the gags.


text: This blond bombshell knew that she wanted to do this shoot the right way from the very beginning. She came over to meet me and talk about our all the details and how to get the most from it. Miss J was just a doll from the get-go. She's got that wholesome sexy look that you know boys have been chasing since kindergarten. She hired Randi Buchanan to do her makeup and together we collectively decided on two drastically different looks. She wanted both the sweet side and the vampy side. For her shoot, she slipped right into character. With flushed cheeks and wide eyes, we shot the first half of her shoot. The second look was all drama... big hair, red lips, and leopard print lingerie. She bears a striking resemblance to Christina Aguilera, don't you think?

November 07, 2018 / by Gregg Cantor / In Home Remodeling , Home DIY Tips
If you took it easy this summer season and have an itch to be productive before the cold temperatures keep you inside this winter season, know that focusing on home improvement could help you scratch your productive itch. Here at Murray Lampert Design, Build, Remodel, we've got plenty of projects to keep you busy and help bring out the best in your home.
Your gutters are essential to protecting your home's interior as well as its foundation by draining rainwater away from your property. But to do that, your gutters have to be cleared out. Climb up to your roof and clear your gutters to keep them flowing. It's also a good idea to invest in quality gutter guards to keep fall leaves and other types of debris from clogging up your gutters and triggering water damage. While you're at it, be sure to give your downspouts some TLC as well.
Attic Insulation
Keep your property nice and warm and your energy bills low by insulating your attic as part of your fall home improvement projects list. That insulation will help to keep warm and cool air pumped out from your HVAC unit from escaping. Leaks cause your air conditioner and furnace to work harder than necessary to sustain your desired temperature, which leads to overspending.
Check Your Roof
You depend on your roof to protect everything that's underneath it, making it essential that your roof is always in the best shape possible. While checking your gutters, inspect your roof to see if there are any missing or damaged shingles or other issues that may require professional help. Additionally, the flashing around your gutters, skylights, pipes and chimneys should receive a once-over as well.
Take a Peek at Your Windows and Doors
Have you been feeling a draft in your house? If so, it could be that you have outside air trickling in from your windows and doors. Just like poor attic insulation, gaps around your windows and doors can lead to HVAC leaks and overspending. Quality weather-stripping and caulking can take care of those drafts, and you may be able to take care of the job on your own.
That being said, it's possible that you may be better off replacing your windows and doors if they're too old to function properly. Newer doors and windows are designed to be more energy efficient, and they can provide you with better peace of mind knowing they do a better job of keeping you and your family secure.
Clear Out the Garage
Because you may be storing your lawn mower, water hose and other yard equipment commonly used during the summer, see that you have enough room in your garage. The fall season is the perfect time to go through everything in your garage to see what you want to keep, throw away or sell for a bit of holiday cash. Implementing a storage system is also a great idea to make it easy for you to find whatever you need whenever you need it. While you're in the garage, gather up winter equipment and ensure everything is in good working order for the winter.
Clear Your Exterior Water Pipes
The last thing you want to deal with during the winter is a burst pipe. Once you've watered your lawn and washed your car for the last time this season, detach, drain and store your hoses, and drain your exterior water pipes as well. Simply run the water until the pipes run dry before shutting off the valves to the exterior hose bibs. That way, you don't have to worry about water freezing in the pipes. To help prevent burst pipes inside and outside your home, wrap them all in heating tape.
Check Up on Your Furnace
The best time to take care of your furnace is before you need to use it. Have an HVAC professional take a look at your furnace to see that it's ready for the winter, and be sure that your furnace filters are clean as can be. Dirty, clogged filters don't perform as well, and they can blow allergens and irritants through your vents.
If you've got a more extensive home improvement project in mind – say, a whole home renovation – the team at Murray Lampert is here to help. Reach out to us to get started.

We're very proud to share that Brian was recognized last night by the Workforce Housing Coalition of the Greater Seacoast as the 'Business Leader' of the year. Wow. The award was presented at the annual celebration, a gathering that acknowledged business and community leaders and featured a keynote presentation by our friend and City Councilor Rebecca Perkins.
Brian was commended for his work on the 'Portsmouth Housing Huddle', a new committee of the Workforce Housing Coalition that brings together leaders from local housing advocates and non-profits, design professionals, the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, the NH Housing Finance Authority and Portsmouth City Council. The huddle's mission is the assess current roadblocks to workforce housing development and take collective action to overcome them. WHC Executive Director Robin Comstock noted that Brian was "the right person at the right time" for this group and has been instrumental in developing one of the Huddle's first tools - a survey that over 350 residents and workers in the Portsmouth community have completed. It you haven't responded to the survey yet, please go do so here!
WHC applauded Brian's "can-do spirit" and concluded "Brian is an exceptional example of productive and results oriented volunteerism at its best. This spirit advances objectives and the mission, but it also set a standard for what volunteerism in the business community can be, and what it can accomplish!"

I find myself composing blog posts in my head - really, it makes me cringe when I think about how much time I devote to what's in my head rather than what's in front of my face. I think I have had at least 3-4 different posts worked out. But I've forgotten those now, and this blog thing really should be unplanned.
I can't keep hiding. My instincts tell me to just curl up in a ball and remain motionless. Maybe then this gigantic destructive monster will not notice me. But that's not going to happen, because the monster has me on radar. If I stood up and faced the monster [wow, this is very cliche-y] I might survive. Might being the key word here because I am weak [my golf coaches have been harping at me to work out for years. But no. I sit and read.]
It's hard to break out of a passive shell when the mere thought of leaving the house with no objective or talking to a grocery store clerk makes me break out in cold sweat.
I know that I can't keep heading down this road to nowhere. I can't just sit at my desk and my computer and plough on through my homework and pretend that everything will stay exactly the same. This may well be the time that things do not work out by themselves.
Don't I want a voice? Don't I want to "suceed"? Don't I want to make a difference? Of course I do.
Maybe I just don't want it enough?

Karly Summers is set to bring new life to her musical career with a spirit of enthusiasm and a handful of new tunes.
The Langford youth lay low for the past two years, while honing her skills, working on new material and getting ready to make another push at building a career from her passion.
"I'm not looking for my big break or anything, because that's a lot of luck," Summers said. "But I'm definitely going to take it one person, one show and one song at a time."
The Belmont grad just released a new single, "How It Goes," and music video to go along with it. She records in a home studio her father, who works in the business, helped set up on a computer, using a professional microphone and Apple Loops for drums. Her father helps out again after she's finished recording, mixing and mastering the tracks.
Ambition pushed Summers to produce a full album, but she has since shied away from the idea, leaning instead towards continuing to release her material online, one track at a time.
"This stuff is pretty poppy, I would say, but the subject matter isn't so much," Summers said. "The lyrics are more than just the pop stuff you hear these days … touching on hopefully relatable topics for people."
Summers started writing songs at the age of eight, before she could even play an instrument. She picked up the guitar at age 11 and piano at 14, the same time she started performing for friends and peers at Spencer middle school.
With the help of her father she also started making music videos at 14 and posting them to YouTube.
"Songwriting stemmed from writing in general," Summers said. "I just remember always it was a thing I kept going back to, not really by choice. That sounds really weird, but it was just a very natural outlet."
The "How It Goes" music video captures some of the quintessential moments of Summers' musical development: playing her first guitar; busking at the Sidney Street Market and downtown Victoria; using the money earned to buy a new guitar.
The video explores the many ways people incorporate music into their lives, while taking a look at some of the ways music has influences Summers.
"Music can bring you back to a certain place in your life and spark a really familiar feeling or memory," Summers said. "I'd never really written a song about music, usually it's about a different topic, so it was really cool."
The video also features many West Shore locations and faces.
While recording her current batch of songs, Summers managed to write enough new ones for another project, so that's what's next. She said she can hear her songs developing as she progresses.
"They're songs that I'm really, really passionate about and they're just at a totally different level or mindset," Summers said. "I'm really excited."
She plans to release a new single and music video in early January. "How It Goes" is available on iTunes. For the music video visit karlysummers.com and for an acoustic performance of the song visit vicnews.com under the West Shore neighbourhood.

Let's Twist Again
Ten years ago, I published my first design, on the cover of Knitty's Fall issue. Twist & Shout played with cables and bias fabric to create a garment that was fun to knit and flattering to wear – and now I'm marking its anniversary with a totally new design that remixes those elements into something very different.
Twist Again works Malabrigo Dos Tierras – an incredible, luxurious yet robust merino/alpaca blend – into sinuous cables flanked by bias ribbing to ensure a relaxed but beautiful fit. Extra-long sleeves feature more bias ribbing, and more cables that travel over saddle shoulders.
I'm particularly proud of the neckline – embraced as it is by the natural flow of the cables, and finished with a neat I-cord cast-off.
And can we talk some more about this yarn? Because it is A.Maz.Ing. You probably know I'm a sucker for luxury fibres, but I have no patience with pilling; and yes, yes, this is a source of some inner conflict. Except not with Dos Tierras. I've been carrying this project around on the bus for months, I've been ripping and reknitting, and it still looks perfect. They spun some magic in with the fibres, I swear. It's rounded and bouncy and tough, and it still feels amazing. I picked it up in the first place (in the gorgeous Dublin shop This is Knit) because I could see the spin was something special, and I hoped it might be good for a cabled sweater. I'm so glad I did. It's perfect.
Twist Again is available at a special launch price of €6 instead of €7.50 until the end of the week. There's a KAL in my Ravelry group, so come and join the dance!

Many Melbourne professionals today take advantage of 3D printing and uses it on a permanent basis. Such technology is evolving each day, along with the rising number of industries in which this technology is used. Below are some of the applications where this technology is used.
Product Design
Fashion category is basically a relative newcomer when it comes to the commercial application of this printing type, aside from prototyping different products for advertising. One good example of such progress is a running shoe that has a full-length thermoplastic midsole that delivers great performance and flexibility.
Environmental Engineering & Architecture
Ecological engineers and civil constructors are on the edge of the most significant and timely use of mobile 3D printing solutions in Melbourne. Architects can also utilize this technology to create accurate dioramas of whole neighborhoods and cities in matters of hours. Before, these visualizations would take months to be completed. For instance, architectural modeling processes are now based on CAD resources and 3D modeling. This starts from composite concept models and ends with full-color terrain models.
Automotive Industry
Have you ever dreamt that one day you will be able to make not just car parts but even the whole car with the use of a 3d printer? In fact, the world's first ever printed car was described by the CEO of Local Motors as "a small electric two-seater". The technology's real significance in the car industry greatly depends in the very low-cost technology and fully-recyclable materials used like carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic. Its entire structure would only 44 hours to print and this leaves no waste products. Given this, the engineers did not yet move the car's stuffing to plastic so that the electric components such as battery, powertrain, and motor were not printed.
Music Industry
Musicians in Melbourne and all over the world are now starting to make use of 3D printing as an affordable way to obtain high-quality and original instruments. Some of the most extraordinary that we can point out would include a metal saxophone that was printed by Olaf Diegel. This new instrument was printed with the use of titanium alloy powder and ITRI's Optical Engine technology. The important basis of this innovative technology is individual firmness variability of different sections of a solid alloy and high-precision printing which can be up to 50 μm.
These are just a few industries where you can find three-dimensional printing to be very valuable. In fact, many companies invest in it because of its advantages and the profit that can be earned out of it. With this technology, everything becomes easier and faster, thus making you to be more productive as you produce the best quality products. With all these innovations brought by this technology, there is really so much more that we can look forward to.

Negative Gossip - Can't You Think Of Something Better To Talk About
A client asked me recently "What would you have left to talk about if you took gossip out of the conversation?" A very good question, because most of us spend a large part of our time gossiping. It might be about little "harmless" things, like the neighbours' behaviour, how someone down the road was caught with someone else's wife, how the guy next door was caught drink-driving. Or how one of our children's friends got drunk (and sick on the school bus). Most of us, to a greater or lesser extent, delight in gossip - particularly if it involves someone else falling on their face.
Of course, if you stop to think about it for a moment, none of this stuff is harmless. In fact, it's actually harmful. First of all, it directs our energy towards the negative. But, more importantly, it reduces the amount of energy we have available to do what we're supposed to be doing - right here, right now.
We're all familiar with the saying that what goes around comes around - step onto that particular "sorry-go-round" at your peril! We're all familiar with the concept that you reap what you sow - same thing. These are old adages proved correct by modern science - quantum physics. You get out what you put in. Invest your energy in nonsense - and your life will be little more than a nonsense itself. Take delight in other's misfortune and you're setting yourself up for misfortune yourself. Buddhists might call it the wheel of karma - a physicist might simply describe it as energy responding to energy.
And, in fact, that's the most important aspect of just how negatively negative gossip can affect the gossiper. If you're "investing" your energy in talking crap, you have immediately reduced the time and energy available to you to do the really important things that you have to do today. You don't need to be a mathematician to calculate that time wasted on crap reduces the amount of time for the things you have to do. And, yet, many people complain that they simply don't have enough hours in the day to do all the things on their "To Do" list!
If you're investing your energy in the negative you're perpetuating a well-proven fact that the normal mind tends towards negativity. This is seriously bad for you because it is your own state of mind that creates your life. Energy in : energy out - by pouring your energy into the negative you're not just wasting your time, diverting yourself from the important stuff of the day, you're actively watering the seeds that you've been sowing all your adult life that create a normal life that's, at best, not too bad.
Cut out negative gossip. Stop diverting your energy away from creating the effortless happiness and success that you can have you only directed your energy into that instead. Stop wasting your time delighting in bad news - news that only confirms that it's alright to be not too bad. Stop reading the crap in newspapers. Don't get me wrong, we all have to keep up with what's happening in the world, but we don't have to wallow in the "news" about rape, assault, murder and so-called normal people generally behaving badly. Stop channel-hopping - immersing yourself in the "reality TV" that brings road accidents, car chases, and real crime to our screens. That's not reality, it's just further evidence of normal people gone made and further comfort for you in living a not-too-bad life. Real reality is to be found in the wonder of this here and now. That's simply more examples of "normal" people's inappropriate behaviour and it's certainly not entertainment.
Control yourself, you're a responsible adult, aren't you? Take responsibility for the only thing in this life for which you can by wholly and absolutely responsible, your own state of mind and where you direct your attention. Why not start talking about good things, talking about how good people are, swapping nice stories instead of competing with each other at the coffee break or water cooler for who can tell the most depressing story - about someone being mugged, cars being stolen, people with serious illness. Seriously, all you have to do is earwig the conversations that are going on around you all the time (some of which you get involved in) to realise what's going on. Negative gossip is sapping your energy, diverting your towards the negative. The result - your negative energy is actively contributing to a negative world - to stress, worry, anxiety, violence and war. Every drop of "negative" adds to the sea of negativity.
Stop it. Grow up. Focus on the good in all our lives. Not only will you feel better - not only will a few people around you feel better for it too - you'll be more upbeat and focused to wholeheartedly do what really needs to be done today. But, better than that and more importantly, you'll set yourself off on the merry-go-round of karma - by putting positive in, you'll get positive out. Now, that makes more sense, doesn't it?

|East African lion
|Male lion at Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

The East African lion (Panthera leo melanochaita)[1] is a lion population in East Africa. In this part of Africa, lions occur in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, but are regionally extinct in Djibouti, Egypt and Eritrea.[6] Lion populations in East African range countries declined since the turn of the century.[7]
Formerly, the East African lion was recognized as several distinct subspecies with the scientific names, such as Panthera leo massaica, P. l. hollisteri and P. l. nyanzae.[2][8] They were known as Masai lion, Somali lion, Abyssinian lion and Uganda lion, depending on the area where individuals had been captured for zoological collections.[9] In 2016, IUCN Red List assessors had subsumed all African lion populations to Panthera leo leo.[6] The subspecific status of lions in the Horn of Africa has not yet been fully resolved.[1]

The Book of Mormon is a musical comedy about two young Mormon missionaries who travel to Africa to preach the Mormon religion. First staged in 2011, the play satirizes various Mormon beliefs and practices. The script, lyrics, and music were written by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. Parker and Stone were best known for creating the animated comedy South Park; Lopez had co-written the music for the musical Avenue Q.
The Book of Mormon follows two Mormon missionaries as they attempt to share their scriptures with the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village. The earnest young men are challenged by the lack of interest of the locals, who are preoccupied with more pressing troubles such as AIDS, famine, and oppression from the local warlord.[1]

Cancer Fighting Superstars..
If you've been following my blog, it's probably no surprise to you that minimizing meat and dairy and opting for plant-based foods reduces your risk for all types of chronic disease, including The Big C (cancer). Even among plants, not all foods are created equal. In fact there are 6 superstars you can increase in your diet to reduce your cancer risk. You get to eat AND prevent cancer simultaneously. Win-win. Read on and get eating.
Anti-Cancer Powerhouses
- Greens. This includes leafy greens and other green vegetables, especially in the cruciferous family. Greens are the most nutrient dense foods (with the exception of iceberg lettuce) and can be consumed in unlimited quantities. Beneficial chemical reactions when you chew and digest greens work to remove carcinogens (cancer causing compounds), reduce inflammation, neutralize oxidative stress, inhibit angiogenesis (the process by which tumors acquire a blood supply), and kill cancer cells. Load up on kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts and bok choy for potent anti-cancer fighting effects. Try one of my favorite simple greens recipes.
- Beans. Beans Beans, they're good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you....fight cancer! Beans(a.k.a legumes) are the most nutrient-dense carbohydrate source and are also packed with colon cancer fighting fiber. Studies have shown that intake of beans, peas or lentils at least twice a week can decrease colon cancer risk by 50%. Legume intake also provides protection against oral, larynx, pharynx, stomach, and kidney cancers. Go beyond black beans and experiment with different types of beans like edamame (yes, that is a bean too!), kidney beans, chickpeas and tempeh (fermented soy beans). Try my Mediterranean Veggie Burger recipe.
- Onions. Have you ever heard of the Allium family of vegetables? Well onions are a member of this family along with leeks, garlic, chives, shallots, and scallions. Sure they make your breath stink, but higher consumption of Allium vegetables is associated with lower risk of gastric and prostate cancers. I'll take transient dragon breath over colon cancer any day.
- Mushrooms. Regular consumption of COOKED (not raw) mushrooms is associated with decreased risk of breast, stomach, and colorectal cancers. In fact in a recent study done in China, women who ate the equivalent of just ONE mushroom a day reduced their breast cancer risk by a whopping 64%!! White, cremini, Portobello, oyster, shiitake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms all have anti-cancer properties. Mushrooms really are magic.
- Berries. The high antioxidant count in berries reduces inflammation, prevents DNA damage, inhibits tumor angiogenesis, and stimulates the body's own antioxidant enzymes. Berry consumption has been linked to reduced risk of diabetes, cancers and cognitive decline. Blueberries, strawberries and blackberries reign supreme- shoot for at least 1 serving (1/2 cup) daily.
- Seeds. Nutritionally seeds are similar to nuts when it comes to healthy fats, minerals, and antioxidants, but seeds are also abundant in trace minerals, higher in protein than nuts, and each kind of seed is nutritionally unique. Flaxseeds and sesame seeds in particular haven been shown to have anti-cancer effects, though chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds all have great health benefits too. Pro tip: the body can't absorb the nutrients from whole flaxseeds, so buy your flax in ground form (flaxseed meal). Try out my chia seed pudding recipe.
Bottom line: definitely add these 6 items to your grocery list and eat to prevent cancer!

Bad News Bees/
While BASF, Bayer, Dupont, Dow Chemical Company, Monsanto, and Syngenta blow smoke up our asses about the safety of pesticides, herbicides, GMOs and associated industrialized agricultural practices, bees are on the front lines suffering from Agriculture's indiscriminate use of neonicotinoids. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, bees are responsible for pollinating $15 billion of the USA's food crops every year. Learn more about why bees matter and consider supporting bees every chance you get. And, if bees really tickle your fancy, consider keeping some bees of your own.

Prototyping Studio with Andy Davidson
Create a behavioral prototype.
Fool a participant into believing he or she is testing a working product in order to gain useful usability feedback (before, theoretically, investing too much time and other resources into development).
We were given the following options to choose from: speech to text dictation, an Apple TV type product, or an alignment corrector (applicable to yoga, pilates or weightlifting, or as a generic posture correcting device).
My group was completely uninterested in pursuing speech-to-text dictation, and felt un-challenged by an Apple TV prototype that could be so easily faked with a remote control. We decided upon posture correction and, because of my unwavering love of yoga, took on the additional challenge of designing and faking a device that could be used for alignment correction while practicing.
We brainstormed many different ways to accomplish the task at hand: a smart mat that lights up to display feedback and corrections, a skeletal tracking webcam that displays proper placement to the user, we even tossed around ideas about magical yoga pants and high-tech headbands before settling on our final design: Chakra.
Chakra consists of two parts: a wearable device and a connected computer program. Conceptually, the device contains an accelerometer to monitor spinal alignment. The computer program collects information from the sensor, and plays pre-recorded audio feedback when alignment is off, providing the user with helpful corrections.
In order to fool our participant, Jonathan, we broke open a USB Flash Drive, exposing the circuitry within, and taped a piece of black magnetic sheet to the back. We set up a command center in my bedroom, where one of our group members, Irene, was connected to the living room computer via Skype.
Once Jonathan arrived, Kristen and I taped the Chakra device to his lower spine, and led him through several yoga postures. Irene watched from the other room, and played the pre-recorded audio corrections as needed.
The plan worked brilliantly; Jonathan fully believed that Chakra was a working device, and provided us with lots of feedback after finishing the usability test. Success!

Automation is a powerful tool to help testing but too often it is used to replicate existing manual tests. This leads organizations to spend large amounts of time and money constantly updating flaky automated tests and test teams to suffer frustration from having to focus on activities that are not truly testing. This cost and frustration can be avoided by using automation as a tool to assist testing—not to replace tests. Jeffrey Martin shares some real-world examples of using automation to supplement testing by leveraging its true value—the replication and repetition of tasks...

WATCH LIVE: Police make headway in murder cold case
DETECTIVES are making headway in the cold case murder of Airlie Beach woman Dorothy Britton.
Dorothy Britton, aged 48 at the time of her death and a mother to three boys, was found at 6.30pm at her Airlie Beach address. She had died from a gunshot wound.
Detectives investigating the murder now believe the person responsible for Ms Britton's death had a 'very close association' with her.
Senior Sergeant Chris Knight of the Homicide Investigation Unit said police were confident that the offender had a close association with Mrs Britton, had extensive knowledge of her lifestyle and routines and was familiar with her loyal and protective Rottweiler dog, Bella.
"Over recent weeks the cold case investigation team have been investigating the murder of Dorothy Britton in Airlie Beach in 1996," he said.
"Ms Britton was a 48-year-old lady when she passed away and her body was found on the 7th of March, 1996 at her home address as Jubilee Pocket.
"We believe now Dorothy Britton was in fact murdered the previous day, the 6th of March and we have been conducting inquiries in South Australia, Central Queensland and North Queensland and those inquiries are ongoing.
"I am confident now to state that we believe the person responsible for murdering Dorothy was a close associate.
I believe that the person responsible had close engagement with Dorothy and was very familiar with her lifestyle patterns, her home address and was very familiar with a loyal Rottweiler dog who was at the house when this murder occurred.
Snr Sgt Knight said ongoing police inquiries suggest the person who is responsible for Dorothy's murder, has spoken with people about it over the years.
"It is those people we now appeal to come forward," Snr Sgt Knight said.
"I believe the person of interest has spoken about their involvement in Dorothy's murder and we want those people (spoken to) to come forward as a matter of priority.
Allow the police to do our job, by giving us the information and allow us to make an assessment as to the validity of the information please.
Detectives believe it is possible more than one person was involved in the murder.
"Whether by motivating someone to do an act or whether by physically attending is still the subject of inquiries," Snr Sgt Knight said of the potential multiple people were involved.
Sng Sgt Knight described Ms Britton's murder as 'horrific and brutal' and one that the Airlie Beach community has not forgotten.
"What is very clear to us is despite the age of this investigation, Dorothy Britton's death has remained a salient point for a lot of people that live in that area, it is still very much in the front of their minds and as a result a lot of people that we have spoken to have intimate knowledge of this and it has remained with them," he said.
It was a horrific crime as you would expect. This was a lady that was living a fairly private life in her house and while she was in her house, minding her own business, someone has brutally taken her life.
Snr Sgt said there had been a number of inquiries conducted in South Australia in recent weeks.
"I don't want to say where the (suspects) are but we have been conducting inquiries with people that were certainly close with Dorothy back around the time of her murder," he said.
"South Australia remains important to us as you can imagine, over a passage of time, people have moved on and there are people down there who have information that is relevant to us as there also is in north Queensland, central Queensland and Brisbane.
"As I stand here before you now, we have detectives in Central Queensland conducting further inquiries in relation to this murder.
"We are investigating a couple of options, but we have received information that might indicate what has motivated Dorothy's murder, but I don't want to broadcast that yet."
Snr Sgt Knight reminded the public of a $250,000 reward for information solving Dorothy's murder.
"That reward has been in existence for a number of years now and is still available to the first person that provides information, provided that person was not directly involved in Dorothy's murder," he said.
"We have done media appeals over recent weeks in relation to this investigation and we have had a favourable response however I want to reiterate that appeal because that information has led up to those assumptions that I have relayed to you today.
"The investigation is progressing and we have made some milestones over recent weeks despite the age of this investigation.
"We have genuinely new information, it is witness based evidence from people who have spoken to us about matters they were reluctant to speak with us about in the past or perhaps didn't for a whole lot of reasons."
Snr Sgt Knight said solving Dorothy Britton's murder was very important to the community, the people that still live in Airlie Beach and Central Queensland and her family.
"Our hearts go out to her family. For 22 years they have had unanswered questions that they deserve. Her children, her husband and her friends deserve these answers," he said.

A while ago I got a call from Liber, a Swedish educational publishing company that I have done a lot of illustrations for the last few years. They announced that I had won their annual award that they give to illustrators who work with images for teaching. In addition to a beautiful diploma, I received € 1.500 in prize money. I was really happy and flattered. What a great Christmas present! The image above is part of an illustration I did for a book on the subject Geography.

The recent announcement by Space Exploration Technologies Corporation that it plans to send two tourists on a trip around the moon has created an upheaval and raised hopes in the otherwise lackluster space industry. The company widely known as SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer and pioneers in offering space transport services based in California, is privately owned by US billionaire Elon Musk. Famed for being Series A investor, Musk is the cofounder of PayPal, a global online payment system, and is credited with several aspirational projects.
SpaceX Credited With Many Firsts in Next-Generation Space Travel
SpaceX, a gargantuan company founded in 2002, is renowned for being a series of first in the deep space travel in the past 15 years, shaking up the area of next-generation space exploration. This notably includes being the first-ever commercial company for sending supplies to the unmanned Dragon cargo ship to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2012. Since then the company is contracted for sending around four Dragon 2 missions to the ISS each year. The latest historic feat was in 2015 when it successfully re-launched and re-landed a used Falcon 9 rocket paving way for an affordable space travel.
However, the company is not peculiar to high-profile failures, with several misfires and crashes by its rockets, causing a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. In the most infamous disaster that took place in 2016, a SpaceX rocket failure is caused to have destroyed one of the rockets by Space Communication Ltd. of Israel and Facebook.
Sending Private Citizens beyond Moon Bodes Well for Creating Habitation to Mars
Keeping its series of feats, Space X's latest announcement to offer the historic opportunity for sending two private citizens into the deep space for the first time in 45 years. The Dragon spacecraft mirroring the aspirations of humankind to explore outer space will be launched from the same pad used in the historic Apollo lunar mission in 1969. The mission is funded by NASA and private investors. In addition, NASA's Commercial Crew Program has provided the major funding for Dragon 2 development, using which SpaceX intends to send Crew Dragon spacecraft to ISS later this year.
If things go as planned, the record-breaking mission of circumnavigating the moon will be the first to carry humans fastest and farthest into the Solar System. SpaceX is nursing another ambition of sending humans to Mars sometime in 2030, as part of its ultimate goal of setting up human habitations in the planet. With the financial might that Musk flexes, there is no reason to doubt otherwise.

March with Muslim climate campaigners
I am going to the climate change march tomorrow.
I have arranged to meet up with Nandor at the LINE stall before 12.
I am going to march with LINE, London Islamic Network for the Environment.
Muslims need a bit solidarity, as climate change bites and as rising sea levels rise, the right will still deny that climate change is occuring but will whip up hatred against all those who they perceive to be different.
Maybe you would like to join me, see you tomorrow at Speakers Corner.
Unlike John Gormley, I don't have a limo, one of those old fashioned Greens you see.

We all have those introspective moments of doubt as we scroll down our Facebook page and see success story after success story.
A marriage here, a new job there, even the kid that ate glue in kindergarten has finally got his sh*t together. Before you break open the breakfast vodka and resign yourself to a day of depression drinking – remember that your f*cking killing it as well.
Here are 12 signs you're doing much better than you think:
- You have a job: All right, we aren't talking corner office or CEO here, but you've managed to grasp onto that first greasy rung of the ladder. Your day to day may involve coffee fetching and covering for your alcoholic boss, but it's all about experience, and at some point you'll leverage one hell of a recommendation.
- You can turn your lights on: No candle light reading and camp-stove dinners for you; you've paid your bills this month! What's more, you use wifi that isn't stolen from the coffee shop next door and your cell phone receives phone calls. This may sound basic but there are entire countries that haven't managed this level of sophistication.
- You've been through some sh*t: The phrase "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" may sound like motivational crap, but all that shit you've had to go through has changed you for the better.
- You have hobbies: Drinking can be a hobby. From now on just call yourself a liquor connoisseur and no one can look down on you for waking up on the sidewalk on a Sunday morning. I mean physically they'll be looking down on you, but you have the moral high ground!
- You eat fresh food: Gone are the days where ramen and ketchup is your staple go-to dinner. Don't worry if you don't cook, the restaurants you order from off Seamless probably use fresh ingredients.
- You have your own space: Even if this just amounts to one room in a shared apartment, it's your space where you have the final say over what goes. This may not sound like a big deal, but we all need a corner to make our own.
- You can travel: I'm not talking about a trip to the Bahamas for a long weekend but you do have enough money to put gas in your car and keep your metro card charged, so that's a win.
- People listen to you: You are starting to have smidgen of authority and you're finding that people are actually starting to listen to you. Maybe the only significant change you've made is getting them to restock the bathroom with more toilet paper, but change is change.
- You're wiser: You now know that if he refers to you as his slam-piece and makes you duck down when he drives past his house, he's not the one.
- You can take care of yourself: Hospital visits are expensive and you don't want to be making a splint out of duct tape and a wooden spoon again, so you've learned to think twice about your actions and have started to look out for number one.
- You have a goal: You're going to move to a different city, you're planning on going to grad school or your going traveling, whatever it is, you are moving towards a mile stone and that's pretty fucking mature.
- You've chilled out: You now realize not everything is going to happen today, some things take a time and you're just stressing yourself out by worrying about it. This has made life a helluva lot easier, and made you a little bit smarter.
