What is HawaiiCon?
The HawaiiCon organization is a non-profit entity, designated to support STEAM education on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Each year HawaiiCon engages in several activities related to its mission, including the HawaiiCon Convention. This convention is intended to celebrate and build an appreciation for sci-fi, science and culture, incorporating all cultural groups represented, with specific acknowledgement and emphasis on the connection of the Hawaiian culture to the physical, intellectual and spiritual context.
Who will be There?
HawaiiCon is our inclusive gathering of science fiction fans, comic book enthusiasts, creative cosplayers, anime followers, avid gamers, future-envisioning authors, cultural practitioners, Geek-film featurette creators, comic and fantasy artists, authors, screen writers and Hollywood's science fiction producers, voice actors, and movie/television stars, along with vendors, musicians, teachers, students, scientists, and popular culture & science fiction scholars.
What to Bring?
Heading off to a science fiction convention requires a little pre-planning, but it's worth it. First, bring a change of clothes for every day you'll be at the con, along with the other essentials you usually take when you're spending the weekend somewhere -- toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, etc. If you're sharing a room with several other people, bringing an extra towel and maybe a pillow or blanket (or a sleeping bag) is a good idea.
After you have the essentials, you can worry about the other stuff. One way to save more money for the vendor's room is to bring some food with you. Go to your local grocery store and buy some food to bring along. PB+J sandwich supplies keep well unrefrigerated, and cost about $5 for enough to cover the whole weekend. Buying a six-pack or two of soda is also much cheaper than buying soda in the hotel. But do save some money for food and the trip home.
In any case, be sure you leave some room in the car for the stuff you will buy at the con.

I seek fame like the rest of you. I have worked with famous people for a long time so I am going to tell you how to do it. I care what my peers think, they are the arbiters of my fame. Their decision to like me or not will determine how famous I become. I need the support of everyone else's decisions to bolster mine. I need them to see that I am trying to do the right thing. Where is everyone moving to right now? Nashville, San Francisco, Denver? They will approve of my move if I pick one of these cities. CNN always gives air time to celebrities & people looking to be famous. I am from the south, maybe I know someone indirectly who can get me some air time. Nashville is the closest to CNN, that is where I'll go.
This is how I will do it, by doing whatever works to get famous. The only way, follow the already famous. Get my follower count up, worry with externals, feel anxious, run marathons, call everyone that doesn't agree with me, racist, sexist, or another ist. The only way to become an elitist is to dismiss what is not a norm. Norms are going to push my eliteness into the stratosphere. I'll be the most famous musician ever. None can compare. Forget equal, I want to be greater than you. I must train myself to think like the growing crowd. No one else voted for the libertarian candidate, why was I trying to be different. Why was I trying to stand out and be ostracized for not agreeing with the guy next to me. Why did I put that hardship in my life. I'm finally learning you can do anything as a recording artist and get away with it & you can do anything as a democrat and get away with it. I really need to start getting away with anything and blaming others who try to set me straight as being in the wrong. It all seems so simple now. Examine nothing independently. Everything is an already science.
As a musician in the modern era / internet era, I should focus on taking pictures, at the beach, with crabs, to show people I'm socially capable of making faces with nature involved. I should relegate my wardrobe to brands that deserve and get attention in the current market. As a musician in the modern era I should keep a camera or pay a camera-guy/girl to follow me around & capture anything that makes me seem more to-date. I must forget about how music used to work, I must change for the greater role of the modern man in music. I must learn the ways of the internet musician. To stay with the future growth I must follow what the industry is doing.
We should all do this, record in a studio, vote the same, & forget that to have a recording we should play live first. We should concern ourselves with video first principles. We should do so because the label & streaming industry is growing and we want to see it grow. We want to talk about its growth with others, and validate each other with our decision making skills. This is what we all must do, read current articles, blogs, newspapers, the dailys. Books are old, the internet is new. Throw away the books and get an e-reader. We all must abandon what feels good and natural for the sake of the industry.
Monoculture and monolithic thought is something to aspire to, you will not have to argue with that many people, you won't live in fear that everyone is different than you, and you don't have to worry about being unpopular. You can drift through life carefree and careless. Easy street. I wasn't challenged in school so why should I be challenged in life. Challenges are tough. Life is supposed to be easy. Follow the crowd, mimic what they say, blame everyone else for my shortcomings, use circular reasoning to win arguments. Forget winning at life I want to win now.
This is how the internet works. The internet dictates what music is. Music has changed since the internet, and will keep changing. The business will remain the same. The experts tell us to capture video, forget about the song/sound & put audio last. Don't focus on writing a song to stick out amongst the 40 million, just record a great video. Label deals have the most money set aside for marketing & the least amount for touring. Focus on your video/image not on your performance. If I can only record a forgettable song & shoot an amazing video, It all seems so simple, so easy to do. Why didn't I think of this earlier. Why didn't I take the easy route. Man life is tough, If only I knew earlier that I could get away with doing wrong by voting for Obama/Hillary.
I need to take out a student loan and go to film school, learn pro-tools, how to code software, and create a video game app based around music. After attending an Ivy league or prestigious enough university that people will gawk at my credentials, I will go to Sweden and look for opportunities in video game companies where I can intern, but I won't be an intern without getting paid. I just paid for college, for f**** sake, I'm learning something new, and must be paid to do so. Maybe I'll be an intern for life. This seems like the best paying job in the current market. Once I've created and coded my own video game, I will then code a music player that I can game with algorithmic metrics. I will then approach the music catalogue of the world and proceed to game it to where the majority will use my app. No one is doing it like this, I will be famous for fixing the music industry. When I stand on stage, I want others to look at me and see how famous I am. I will tell them they can't be like me, even though I am constantly trying to be like them. I will put them down because they exalt me. I will use their feebleness to my own acclaim & I'll be famous soon, like Obama or Ek. The transition has begun. Be on the look-out for my new single. Look for it, don't listen for it. Listening is not a part of music anymore, just look at my funny hat and be amazed. Watch out Rihanna, my Icon status is not far off.
These record labels & songwriting foundations are 100 years old. They have been doing this a lot longer than I, but not longer than music, but it's not music I am seeking, I am seeking fame. Fame today is not musical but cinematic. I must craft a narrative instead of a song. Damn, I need to get internet at the cabin so I am not distracted to play music or practice. I need internet so I can upload videos and images. QUIT PLAYING LIVE MUSIC & FOR GOODNESS SAKE, WORK ON YOUR VIDEO!!!! Man, what a day to be alive. How has this epiphany been avoiding my thoughts for so long. How come I didn't just open my eyes to what others are doing, and focus my sights on being like them. If I want to do something, just study how someone else is doing it. Geez this way is so obviously right. I can already see the narrative developing, "Musician turns his sights on becoming famous, goes to college, codes software and in the process develops thousands and thousands of fans." I will then start a foundation based around children and homeless people and out of guilt it will pressure other artists to give to my foundation. I don't want to worry anymore with trying to be good, being good is hard work. It's much easier to be bad & forget that reasonable mindset called goodness. I seek fame, popularity, followers, measurable metrics such as views, streams & impressions. I'm almost there, just gotta keep lying to myself.

Press Mentions
Let's toss a couple letters out there. R is for relentless. A is for ambitious. U is for unyielding. All of these are perfect adjectives for Cleyn.
Today we stumbled across Ottawa's own Charles Cleyn who just debuted the video for his song Decisions. The clip, directed by Marko Montana, tugs at the heartstrings and was the winner of the Berlin Music Video Awards, Vegas Pro Competition.
Between his music, his look, and his cute and candid videos, we can see with a lot of work how Charles could make his way into being the next big Canadian export.
There is absolutely no reason why "Decisions", the debut single by Charles Cleyn, couldn't become one of this Summer's big hits. The alluring pop track pulls all the right strings like lovely melody, pleasing guitar strumming, impressive harmonies, versatile vocals and a killer hook. All this makes "Decisions" a rather irresistible song, one that should find its ways to playlists and club DJs alike.
I really enjoyed the lyrics to the song and found myself humming it after listening to his song. It really does stick with you, it's such a catchy tune and I have to admit the videoclip caught me off guard a little as I didn't expect to get teary-eyed whilst watching the first part of it.
'Decisions' is a charming warm little ditty that glides and bounces with golden heart warming bliss. Its sweet melody swoons upon a delicate guitar strummed backdrop before building into a singalong ready passionate chorus.

Bosparan, Dec. 17, 2017Under Review
Copied from: this thread
Reformat entire projects
bulk reformat for all files in a project would be awesome.
An interesting extension of that could be a way to pass the thing some information: For example a list of aliases and what they should be expanded to (for cases where those can't be resolved in their current state due to missing resources). Not too critical, but helpful.
Which kinda leads me to another functionality I'd like to have ...
Make script formatter scriptable
PSS comes with a bit of overhead, especially when providing the function cache needed for primal sense (large projects can take quite a bit to load, even with recent improvements to project load times).
Imagine you'd open your script formatting to usage by scripts.
Either as a comandline application, a library or a function (Heck, if you provide a library or comandline tool, I'll be happy to throw in the function!).
As for formatting options:
- Default to PSS settings
- Make it possible to provide a configuration XML file (and the current configuration exportable to/importable from XML)
- Allow options by parameter
This would be another way to allow us to share formatting configurations and we could make a bulk-format part of our automated build actions.
This scriptable formatting thing could then either be only be usable with a licensed installation (for greater benefit of buying PSS) or be capable of standalone functionality (for greater usefulness and prestige).

Universal Nail Supplies is one of the leaders in high-end cosmetics and beauty products. In search for branding growth, Universal came to us for a website upgrade that would better enhance the conversion experience, increase their online revenue and provide more flexibility for their in-house e-commerce team.

Universal's previous site, although functional, it was severely outdated. We immediately noticed improvement was required. Universal's brand is full of color and we wanted to reflect this savviness and pop into the design, along with improving site load time, and a revamp of the whole checkout process. A future plan to increase customer engagement via user-generated content needed to be integrated into the main design.
A focal point in shopping with Universal is the quick ability to search for name brands making it very easy for returning clients to come back and quickly find what they are looking for. The navigation with a sophisticated search bar query system helps many clients quick buy their products. Increasing their conversions YTD.
Besides updating the look and feel of the site, we introduced powerful design elements to speed the browsing and checkout process. We simplified the product pages to make them clearer and easier to shop and checkout.
As part of a wider strategy to engage with enhance their sales, Universal were keen to increase performance by upgrading to Shopify Plus. This allowed us to extend development even further by personalizing their checkout experience.
``We feature trendy, high-end cosmetics and beauty products. We update our inventory regularly with the newest products available. We are a supplier of a complete line of nail, hair and skin products and we serve the salon owners, home consumers, students in training and professional nail technicians.
Two things set us apart from average suppliers: Our staff of highly-trained professionals; and our unrivaled selection of the finest beauty products available anywhere. Give us a try and you will never need to shop anywhere else.``

Need of insurances:
With more chances of the accidents these days, the need of insurance have become really very important, so that it can be easy for people to get the cover for their loss. This is the reason why people like to look for different kinds of insurance policies, so that they don't have to face so much of their problems when getting into any kind of accidents. These insurances can be of life, health, vehicles or even of dog sitters and people can choose any of them that they think they might be in need in future. This is how these insurance policies work for people.
How pet sitters insurance policies work?
Different insurance policies work in different ways and it all depends on the choice of the people that what kind of insurance they like to go for. Dog sitters insurance is however a little different from other insurances as in this kind of insurance people getting injured or facing any kind of damage of their property can claim cover from the business responsible for it. This is how the policy of dog walkers insurance work for the people who are insured with this kind of insurance.
Additional services for pet sitters:
Though, there are so many of the dog sitters insurance companies that have been offering their services for their clients, but some of them also like to offer their additional services for their clients, so that it can be really very easier for the people to understand how to take their dogs on walk and avoid the accidents. They like to give their clients the best kind of dog walking tips, so that they can follow those tips and prevent themselves from getting any kind of trouble because of their pets.
Services provided by insurance companies:
Most of the pet sitting companies always provide their clients with the security of knowing that by following an injury because of their pets they can receive a benefit for helping themselves cover their medical bills, allowing them to focus on their recovery. It is however, really very important that the people understand exactly what their duties are. However, if the dogs are involved in the accident of hurting other or damaging their property, then every detail about the accident needs to be reported to the insurance company for getting the claim for others who are hurt in the accident.

Dear Dr. Cannell,
I spoke with you awhile back regarding my autistic son's progress (age 5). I would just like to update you though that the school district recently closed his IEP and he no longer qualifies for any special education or related services, which is truly a miracle.
He does still have deficits in fine motor skills and we have therapists still working with him in this area, and occasionally struggles with anxiety and sensory issues. We had his 25(OH)D level checked last week and it was at 131 ng/ml, which is a bit high. I give him 5,000 IU/day, his blood calcium is normal. I would like to get it down a bit and be able to sustain that.
He weighs about 45 pounds and is 43 inches tall, so he is quite skinny, and the levels increase rapidly when we give him more IU's, and drop dramatically when we cut back. I have found it very difficult to sustain the 25 (OH) D at any given level. I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
I would like to thank you again and G-d bless you and all the work that you do to help these children. I never thought I would live to see the day when his IEP was closed.
Dear Mary:
I'm so glad they closed his IEP but 131 is too high. Stop all vitamin D for three weeks. After three weeks, recheck his level and when it is below 70 ng/ml, start him on 2 capsules of D-Plus a day for the extra magnesium and zinc it contains, or give him 3,000 IU/day of Ddrops and purchase a magnesium/Zn supplement and give his at least 200 mg of extra magnesium per day. Trader Joe's makes a good CA/Mg/Zn preparation; give him two per day. Then check his 25(OH)D in two months. I suspect the additional magnesium will help his anxiety and, due to its complicated relationship with vitamin D, may help stabilize his 25(OH)D levels.
Also, remember that some of the fluctuation you see in his 25(OH)D levels is probably due to the laboratory method used to determine them. What method is used? It will say on the lab slip.
Again, that's great news; no more need for special education.
John Cannell, MD

- Working Family Payment (WFP)
In response to the Department of Social Protection's (DSP) recent call for submissions on the proposed Working Family Payment (WFP), One Family welcomed the opportunity to outline our concerns and recommendations in relation to this, and submitted to the DSP on 13 March 2017. Measures that support transition from social welfare to work, and address potential welfare traps, particularly in low paid work, are to be welcomed. The proposed measures, however, need careful consideration before commencement, as well as an inter-departmental approach.

- Government Discussion Document on Proposals for Supporting Lone Parents
Overall, One Family believes that there is an urgent need to develop and implement a coherent policy framework for one-parent families that reflects the realities of their lives and those of their children
- Domestic Partnerships
One Family works with all types of one-parent families as well as with new and blended families. Much of our work revolves around issues related to the formation and ending of family relationships. In all cases our primary concern is the impact of such situations on the child, on ensuring the availability of adequate supports for children and on supporting legal frameworks that overtly address the best interests of the child.
We therefore focus our recommendations to the Working Group with this priority in mind.

The changing nature of family life in Ireland
Modern family life in Ireland is remarkably different now compared with the period in which our Constitution was first developed. With declining marriage and birth rates, higher rates of extra marital cohabitation and birth and a growing diversification of the structure of families, the typical Irish family is no longer typical.

The Episcopal Church of NH Responds to Hate with Love and Prayer/
Last week in Charlottesville, VA, protests turned violent as white supremacists clashed with counter-demonstrators. Episcopalians across New Hampshire are responding with advocacy, action and prayers for peace and reconciliation. The Rt. Rev A. Robert Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire, explains, "The sentiments expressed by neo-Nazis, white supremacists and white nationalists threatening the rightful, full and robust inclusion of our Black, Jewish, Immigrant, Muslim, LBGTQ brothers and sisters were nothing short of evil. We will find no compromise with those views. Plain and simple."

Is it Okay to Paint Furniture Blue? | VLOG
My husband and I bought our first house two years after college. Since we didn't want to buy a fixer upper we just decided we would put all our money towards the actual home and we just wouldn't buy furniture anytime soon.
So the house we lived in for almost two years in St. Louis was never furnished. We had some furniture that was gifted to us from my husband's parents, a table from my old apartment in Indianapolis, and we bought a bed. Other than that we never furnished or decorated our house in St. Louis.
Here are some photos of our first house that I pulled from Zillow. It makes my heart hurt to look at them. Is it hard leaving every home you own or just your first one?
Our Bedroom (we never bought an actual bed frame or hung any photos).
Our living room that never had any furniture. Although, when it was super cold outside we would start a fire in the fire place and carry our mattress to the living room for a slumber party. I believe that's how we spent NYE 2014 and it was so much fun.
My husband's basement man cave. The only room with actual furniture and where we spent 98% of our time.
ANYWAY, moving on before I cry....
When we moved to Phoenix we decided we were going to furnished this house. However, I tend to become paralyzed when I have a completed blank slate. Furnished a home from scratch is so intimidating that I've yet to buy or hang my first wall art.
I could go on and on about why I haven't decorated yet but the reality is I have a hard time trusting my vision when it comes to home decor.
Over the weekend, I made a resolution to just start. No matter how small or how long it takes, I just want to start working on making our house a home.

Summer is for college planning and in order for that to go smoothly, there are a few things High School Juniors (aka Rising Seniors) should take care of before they 'check out' of school.
Update or Create Your High School Resume
A resume in this case, is essentially a track record of all school activities you've been involved with, any awards you've received, and other extracurricular activities you've participated in during high school. This resume will obviously be invaluable to you as a way to jog your own memory, when beginning the college application process next year. Likewise, you will be able to provide a copy to your Guidance Counselor and to any teacher you're asking for a letter of recommendation.
Meet With Your Guidance Counselor
This visit is necessary in order to:
Ensure that you have your log-in information, and understand how to use online college application management systems such as Naviance.
Review transcripts to confirm accuracy and/or request corrections.
Provide your Guidance Counselor with a copy of your High School Resume.
Request a letter of recommendation from your Guidance Counselor.
Sign any waiver forms with the counseling department so that your transcripts and letters of recommendation are ready to be released when they need to be.
Identify and meet with the teachers you want to write letters of recommendation
The reason you'll want to do this before the 2015-16 school year ends, is so that your teacher(s) can work on the letter now, or possibly over the summer. Furthermore, when the 2016-17 school year begins in August, suffice to say teachers are going to be incredibly busy, and likely bombarded with these requests. So it's best to get your request in now, to prevent delays later. Help the teachers to write these letters by providing them with your High School Resume as well.
We can't emphasize just how crucial it is for high school juniors to complete this short checklist of tasks before school comes to a close for the year. But putting in this last extra effort now (even though we know you're ready for a break, after a long year of hard work), will help to ensure that you can put an admissions strategy in place over the summer and you're best prepared for all the college application deadlines, that come surprisingly fast, in the Fall.
If you have any questions regarding college admissions counseling services, feel free to get in touch with us.

Yes, I've been reading again!
I guess the idea of doing this blog once a month is to really give me a reference point to come back to, but also to give you a bit of insight as to what is happening in the world of health and fitness.
The first article that took my eye was this article by Krista Scott-Dixon. In it, she discusses all the 'rules' that need to broken if you want to have a healthy relationship with food. In a nutshell:
- Aim for 'good enough' instead of perfect;
- Let go of food rules;
- Give up on 'cheat days';
- Own your choices;
- Stop rationalising;
Here's an interesting one. This study out of Korea shows that at midlife/menopause, being overweight and a lack of exercise put women at a much higher risk of having metabolic syndrome (the cluster of conditions that predisposes people to diabetes and heart disease). So let's keep moving, ladies!!
One for the kids: Children who accumulated more than 60 minutes per day of physical activity scored better in Basic Human Movement and Fundamental Movement Skills testing than their less active peers.
Running helps prevent knee arthritis? Well, yes. According to this article from the Back in Motion Group. Even more reason to take up running!
And one to get you thinking... 'A boy and a doctor were fishing. The boy is the doctor's son, but the doctor is not the boy's father.'

Snapshot #1 -- Politics Whining (oh, wee)/
Snapshot #1 by Andy Diggle, Jock, and Clem Robins, published by Image Comics in February 2013 (and in Judge Dredd Megazine, prior thereto, apparently): I read this immediately after I read Scarlet #6, and a similarity between the two jumped out, an irritant. Scarlet #6 begins with a monologue dismissing Occupy Wall Street: nothing changed, nobody learned anything, protests are pointless, no one is listening, blah, blah. That sort of shit. And so, too, Snapshot, opens by immediately dismissing protests: a guy at a comic shop tells the comic-shop-employee main character that his girlfriend is "dragging" him to a march: "Some big anti-whatever shindig. We're all marching to put an end to, I dunno, bad stuff... Even as we speak, my apartment's ripe with the pungent tang of sharpie-wielding hipster."
If this scene is meant as a critique of the Bro talking, that's not successfully communicated. No, this is early-- we're only just meeting the main characters. We're again expected to agree with this repulsive crap, I think, expected to identify with this dull cynicism.
What is all this, do you think, this insistence upon surrender? Why, this persistent message that to do anything but surrender to the status quo makes one a figure of mockery? What makes comics so eager to trumpet fake heroics, phony, ersatz heroics, but so dismissive of protest, of an actual examples of courage from the least powerful among us? Is it just the particulars of the "creative community" involved, a community that never fought for each other, that routinely betrays its greatest artists, a community whose heroes suffocated communal effort in their womb? Why would we expect any better...? Or is it more than that? Maybe it's just young people, just youth itself and youth's silly hopes and impractical dreams of a better tomorrow, that comics find so laughable. Comic books: middle-aged men, to the rescue!
Later in Snapshot #1, the protestor girlfriend is shown, in only one panel, arms crossed, given no word balloons, rendered mute. We don't ever get to hang out with her. We're always stuck with the bros.
Have I ever participated in a protest? No, and perhaps that opens me to attacks for being a "hypocrite" for objecting. But I'm Indian, and non-violent resistance, that's sort of a thing for us. Plus, I'm an American-- protests are a big deal for Americans, too, goddamnit. Diggle's ancestors were The Bad Guys for both those groups, I guess, but even they have their own history, too, last I checked. This cheerleading for apathy, it is ahistoric and uninspiring and boring.
"It's just a couple panels, and you're overreacting-- maybe it will all be critiqued in a later issue," you might reasonably say, forgiving person that you are, and probably be right. But here's what still nags: the comic is in the thriller mode. When you think back on the thrillers you've seen in your life, don't the really great thrillers tend to ask for some kind of transgression-- particularly of their main characters? The kink of Hitchcock; the perversions of DePalma; the "Michael Douglas fucked the wrong lady" section on Netflix. But Snapshot? Apathy. Distinterest. Disengagement. Aren't these the very things a person seeks to escape by their transgressions? The very things that so urgently sends them to all of their sins?

The Northern Range region in Trinidad and Tobago is not only home to the most pristine and untouched areas of the country but it also provides the best agroecological environment for christophene (chayote) production in the country. Follow up from a sample brought to a plant clinic in 2015 revealed that the disease known as Gummy Stem Blight, caused by the fungus Didymella bryoniae, was pervasive in christophene farms in the Northern Range. Government reports show that since the outbreak of this disease, christophene production has dropped significantly.

I have to admit, when I saw this link from Saranah, my first thought was, "that's creepy."
I pictured... I don't know what -- infants smothered in yards of tulle, some sort of crude swaddling. I couldn't have been more off.
This story by BuzzFeed writer Rachel Wilkerson Miller describes the Angel Gown Program by NICU Helping Hands. Volunteer seamstresses convert donated wedding gowns into delicate garments that look quite similar to Christening gowns.
The article quotes NICU Helping Hands director Lisa R. Grubbs:
"A wedding gown donated by a bride from the happiest day of her life, sewn by a volunteer into a one-of-a-kind custom gown for a baby that has died or will die… importance, honor, respect, caring, and love are embodied in this gift that is freely given to anyone that needs it," she said.
"From the happiest day of her life..." There's something about that, isn't there? Weddings are a happy time, full of hope and future and blessings. And death is often a time of unspeakable pain. So maybe in some small way, the joy and hope of the wedding gown is passed down into the angel gowns -- to the babies to bless them on their way, or to the parents to give them a bit of comfort and hope. That's all rather philosophical and is quite dependent on ones belief system, of course.
But it's definitely more than just a gown being given. And it's definitely not creepy. I was wrong.
Would you donate your wedding gown to Angel Gowns? Tell us why or why not in the comments.
