January 19, 2018 | Posted in Pornstars by
Porn star Olivia Lua has died. She was only 23 years old.
L.A. Direct Models, the agency that represented her within the adult industry, released the following statement about her death:
We learned today that Olivia Lua passed away this morning, – may she rest in peace.
Olivia Lua joined Direct Models in April 2017, though had not been available for work since early October of last year, as she had been facing some personal challenges that had seen her in residential rehab for a period of nearly three months and from which she had been out for about a month, hoping to make a return to work in the early part of this year.
We learned today that she had returned to a different facility in West Hollywood after a relapse, approximately a week ago, at which she was found deceased this morning,
Family and close friends relate they had deep concern at the volume of prescription drugs prescribed to Olivia and the danger this posed her, if this was mixed with recreational drugs or alcohol.
It is believed this to be the cause of her passing.
We at Direct Models obviously can barely believe we are issuing a notice such as this, not once but twice, in such a short space of time,
The coincidence that both of these models chosen stage names is Olivia is solely that and they otherwise have no connection – we actually do not think they had ever met.
Direct Models has not spoken to the coroner and has no information on a post-mortem or a toxicology report.
We are deeply shocked and saddened.
We have expressed our sympathy to those closest to her.
Drug addiction is just such a terrible disease.

Description of Product/ Service/ Innovation:
An interactive assistant in the form of droid.
The five different functions that AmIgo will include such as checking of medical vitals, reminders, communication, camera (real time feed) and entertainment.
- Features
- General: dog-shape, moving around, maybe can follow around. Energy comes from electricity. It uses charging system, and the droid will move itself to the charging station (wireless). There will also be an emergency or backup battery. SIZE: We specifically design this droid to not be. Customization on voice (female/male) and languages (different Chinese dialects, Malay, Tamil, English)
- Medical: BP, temp, heart rate
- The global medical robotic systems market was worth $5.48 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach $13.6 billion in 2018. ( Source: http://medicalfuturist.com/top-healthcare-companies-in-robotics) As health is of importance for the elderly, the droid would be taking the user's blood pressure, temperature and heart rate everyday in case of the user's acute or chronic disease. For instance, surgical, physical disease, as well as Alzheimer's disease, which is ignored by family.- perhaps could specify more or just do some searches in case of Q&A
- If the user is suffering certain illness, the droid would preliminarily diagnose, helping the user to decide whether to see the doctor for deeply treat or an operation. – related to the communication part
- If do not need to see the doctor, the droid reserves some basic medicine for the seniors and provide the guideline of medicine.
- If it is necessary to see the doctor, the droid advises the most appropriate hospital and the corresponding doctor.
- If there is emergency, the robot could also do CPR.
- The droid also concentrates the mental or spiritual health of the user, providing psychological ways to prevent further problems, i. e. Keep daily talk and detect the change and mental condition.
- Reminders: medications, personalized voice, reminder for meal timings
- We will include a function for reminders. We are aware that the elderly will sometimes forgot what they have to get done and as such it would be important for them to be continuously reminded of the activities that they have to do for that day. For instance, their meal timings and prescribed tablets for respective ones. .
- The prescribed tablets have to be stocked for 7 days (with at least 21 smaller compartments).
- The personal touch to this droid is the voice can be customised to the care receiver's needs and ability such as language (English, dialects, Malay, Tamil).
- Forgotten things: the droid will be able to notify the user on the last seen location of their object. For e.g. Spectacles/reading glasses
- Communication: alert caregiver and emergency services
- Button for emergency situation on the body (connection via internet or alert in other means?) – addressing conditions in which the elderly still can take actions
- Additional: emergency contact when the BP, temp, heart rate seem not right – either ambulance or police
- The care receivers are able to connect with caregiver and other people through voice/video call, 3D hologram and SIM card enables calling people
- Camera: footage. → One of the integral function of this droid is a monitoring system. there will be a camera situated in the droid's eyes. In addition to camera as a video call device, it also functions as monitoring tool. When the caregiver wishes to see and monitor their care receiver's, the camera will activate and transfer real-time video. In emergency situations, the camera will also activate and be transferred to the caregiver. The camera will be integrated with other functions such as the medical detector, so when for example the blood pressure spikes up, the droid will take emergency measures as well as activating the camera function. With these kind of mechanism instead of CCTV-like one, we also try to maintain the privacy of the care receiver.
- Entertainment:
- Care receivers are able to play games with the droid physically such as play tennis, or with certain person/caregiver virtually via hologram and online –reconsider cause they might not be that mobile and it's not something they are interested at
- Care receivers are able to listen to music and dance with the droid
- The droid is connected with social networking such as Facebook, Instagram, and the other apps to make friends by chatting and those apps can be functioned with voice command
- SWOT, Pricing http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/this-social-robot-is-a-boon-to-seniors-living-alonehttp://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/20/asia/singapore-aging-robot-coaches-seniors/index.html
(some stats about aging population in Singapore & other countries included too)
SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths Weaknesses ● User friendly (see no 5)● Not only care about the physical conditions of users but also the emotional conditions
● Complete/comprehensive features ranging from many aspects of life, especially during emergency situations
● The technology used is not generally new one so it has high feasibility
● Affordability?● $500-600 for a month for a maid. (easily spend $6000 in a year)
● It Would be better to spend on the machine than a domestic helper.
Opportunities Threats ● Singapore is currently looking for innovations in the healthcare sector to cope with the ageing population as there are not enough workers to support the number of elderly.● Affordable cost: one-time cost of estimatedly $1,000
○ nursing home fees in Singapore typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 monthly
○ Maids: $550-570 monthly
● External threats: existing robots with similar functions (e.g. medical robots, housing robots) causing the competition.● Variable global technology environment.
- Feasibility
- Feasibility: today, robotics technology as well as artificial intelligence are existing. Thus, we believe that this droid is very possible to make. Especially due to the nature of this droid which is only to assist, improve, and facilitate the needs of both care receiver and caregiver instead of completely replacing the human element. There are such robots available in other countries like UK and Japan. But our group is focusing on local context such as the ageing population, elderly being more isolated (allows for interaction) and the inability of the caregivers to care for the elderly while at work.
- User-centric
- The main way to use the droid is through voice activation. We tried to reduce as many instructions as possible considering our users. As they would not be as tech savvy as the other people. We have also focused on caregivers and care receivers perspective as we would not want to complicate their already tiring daily lives. By also tweaking it to the accent that the droid and the caregiver understand, we hope that it would be able to carry out the instructions better.
- Creativity
- The creativity of this product lies in the way it comprises a lot of essential services needed by care-receivers such as senior citizens and elderly people. The droid also helps the emotional condition of the care receiver that tends to struggle with loneliness, because it functions as a companion with features that make it possible to chat with the droid itself, as well as entertainment features.
- Sustainability
- Impacts on society, economy, environment
- Society – AmIgo benefits the society because of focusing on the relatively ignored people in Singapore's people. For one thing, for the seniors who have their family accompanying, AmIgo could decrease the pressure of the caregivers. For another thing, for the seniors who are alone, AmIgo acts as AI as well as the partner of the senior's daily life.
- Economy
- The possibility of being long-run
- Impacts on society, economy, environment
- Future Projection
- The droid is able to be expanded into more advanced medical analysis for example it will be able to detect symptoms of diseases
Target Group:
Senior citizens (aged 65 and above) who are mobile. They are not dependent on a full-time caregiver or need to be at the nursing home.
Stakeholders Involved:
Senior citizens
What Stakeholder Need Does It Address?
Senior citizens are generally isolated and lonely. Their caregivers are unable to care for them while at work.
Also, these senior citizens might not be able to take care of themselves due to various conditions that arise with age.
This will be in the context of Singapore.
How Does It Build on existing Technology/Processes?
The development can be facilitated with the robotics technology and artificial intelligence knowledge which is already in existence.
Furthermore, with the recent move towards digitalisation and unmanned automation for mundane and repetitive tasks, this product utilises the knowledge and reduces the need for human labour as well as moves towards a more efficient and effective way of taking care of individuals both directly and indirectly.
It will indeed be a positive disruptive change in the way caretakers take care of care receivers, leveraging on the aspects of AI, robotics as well as automation of activities.
Your Group's Pledge
(What Follow up/Future Action Will You Take?)
To keep up with the interaction that elderly might lack in their retirement, we will pledge to communicate to our grandparents for 1 hour weekly.
Also, we might also take up this project and further it after this conference.

The Burtonesque Dolls are back for day 3 of the Burton-Weenies Preview. Simply Betty Stamps sure did an awesome job with this collection. The Dolls are combining this preview with our usual challenge. The challenge is to put Ellanore in a Burton movie. I chose to put her in Alice in Wonderland. I couldn't resist. I had this Wonderland paper left from another project so it was perfect. I colored Ellanore (Alice) with Copics and popped her up with Stampin' Up dimensionals.
The sentiment is a rub-on I found at Big Lots. I used my MS Drippy Goo border punch for the detail in the middle. I colored the paper with distress ink. Please pop over to TBD and see what everyone else has done and please play along. All the details are over at TBD.
Thanks for stopping by.

Expire artifacts on artifact share servers
Currently artifact servers are unbounded and will simply grow until system level errors prevent it from functioning correctly, at which point artifacts can no longer be pushed; and manual intervention is required on the server.
This is very similar to #135 (closed), except that the problem of expiring least-recently-used artifacts on the remote server is much more complicated, all because currently if the user only has read-access to the artifact share, it is impossible with the current implementation to record the activity of having downloaded or asked for an artifact.
As an initial step, we might consider deleting the server cache entirely once a quota is reached.
Later, it will be interesting to enhance the protocol with a smart script which is safe to run on the server for unauthenticated users, so that we can record the last time an artifact was used, and then implement a smarter LRU expiry mechanism.

The focus on farming switches to Little Cayman and Cayman Brac next month as the Sister Islands host their respective Agricultural Shows.
Thousands of visitors packed into the Grounds in Lower Valley for the Agricultural Show in Grand Cayman last week. And big crowds are expected for similar events on 2 March in Cayman Brac and then on 23 March in Little Cayman.
Cayman Islands Premier Juliana O'Connor-Connolly encouraged people to turn out and support both events.
"These shows offer the usual extravaganza of colour, competition and showmanship along with displays, and are a great opportunity for social interaction in the close-knit communities of our Sister Islands," she said. "The good thing about agriculture in Little Cayman is that just about everyone does their part. They understand the importance of backyard farming and rely on each other."
Both events will showcase local livestock, crafts and a variety of farm produce. Delicacies including stewed turtle, whelks, conch and lobster will be served up. A king and queen and prince and princess of the shows will also be crowned.
The Little Cayman show, held at Blossom Village, features a dog show, tractor rides and Linton Tibbett's coconut toss. Entry is $10, including a raffle ticket and a chance to win $1,000.
The Cayman Brac show is held at the Agriculture Grounds off Songbird Road.

PIVX Core Release Mandatory Update version 3.0.4
PIVX Core version 3.0.4 is now available from:
This is a new minor-revision version release, including various bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
Mandatory Update
PIVX Core v3.0.4 is a mandatory update for all users. This release contains various updates/fixes pertaining to the zPIV protocol, supply tracking, block transmission and relaying, as well as usability and quality-of-life updates to the GUI.
Users will have a grace period to update their clients before versions prior to this release are no longer allowed to connect to this (and future) version(s).
How to Upgrade
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/PIVX-Qt (on Mac) or pivxd/pivx-qt (on Linux).
PIVX Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later.
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on April 8th, 2014, No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues. Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
PIVX Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently tested on them.
❗❗❗ MacOS 10.13 High Sierra ❗❗❗
Currently there are issues with the 3.0.x gitian releases on MacOS version 10.13 (High Sierra), no reports of issues on older versions of MacOS. As such, a High Sierra Only version is included below.
Notable Changes
Refactoring of zPiv Spend Validation Code
zPiv spend validation was too rigid and did not give enough slack for reorganizations. Many staking wallets were unable to reorganize back to the correct blockchain when they had an orphan stake which contained a zPiv spend. zPiv double spending validation has been refactored to properly account for reorganization.
Money Supply Calculation Fix
Coin supply incorrectly was counting spent zPiv as newly minted coins that are added to the coin supply, thus resulting in innacurate coin supply data.
The coin supply is now correctly calculated. If a new wallet client is synced from scratch or if
-reindex=1is used then the correct money supply will be calculated. If neither of these two options are used, the wallet client will automatically reindex the money supply calculations upon the first time opening the software after updating to v3.0.4. The reindex takes approximately 10-60 minutes depending on the hardware used. If the reindex is exited mid-process, it will continue where it left off upon restart.
Better Filtering of Transactions in Stake Miner
The stake miner code now filters out zPiv double spends that were on rare occasions being slipped into blocks (and being rejected by peers when broadcast to the network).
More Responsive Shutdown Requests
When computationally expensive accumulator calculations are being performed and the user requests to close the application, the wallet will exit much sooner than before.
More Extensive Display of zPiv Confirmation/Maturity Status
Within the Privacy Dialog of the QT wallet, the Zerocoin Stats section now displays both the confirmation and maturity status of minted zPiv's. Previously this was only able to be viewed within the zPiv Control dialog. The main Overview tab of the QT wallet now splits zPiv balance into subcategories: Unconfirmed, Immature, and Mature.
3.0.4 Change log

While I was in Dar es Salaam a few weeks ago, Manuel Santana drew my attention to these three-wheeler tuk tuks with "Uber" written at the back (photo below). At first, I thought that was just a marketing strategy or perhaps a funny joke. Little did I knew that those tuk tuks are regular service providers registered with Uber. This is quite telling of Uber's flexibility to adapt to the particularities of each local context (for better or worse).
ps. In case you're wondering, we didn't take Tuk Tuk Uber... We wouldn't be able to squeeze four people in a Tuk Tuk after dinner.

Why inflation still feels so high
Consumer price index
In its press announcement of 5 August 2003 Statistics Netherlands reported that the figures for the period June 2002 to June 2003 are incorrect. Therefore the CPI figures in this publication are incorrect.
The press release of 9 September contains the corrected figures for the series for all households, and for the harmonised consumer price index.
In May 2003 inflation in the Netherlands fell to its lowest level since April 2000. In spite of this, three out of five consumers believe that prices have risen substantially in the last twelve months. As a recent article in the Dutch weekly newsmagazine HP/De Tijd . suggested, consumers seem to feel that inflation is much higher than it officially is. The difference can be explained by more modest price increases, and even price decreases, which counter the sharp increases.
Large increases included in inflation rate
If we look at how prices develop over a period of a number of years, the increase in prices is larger than the inflation rate for one year. If prices of May 2003 are compared with those for May 1998, they have risen by just over 16 percent on average in the space of five years.
Top ten price increases
Prices of some articles have increased by above average amounts. The top-ten increases show an average rise of 48 percent. The share of these article in the total price increase is only small, however: they account for less than 6 percent of the total package of consumer goods and services.
The top ten includes potatoes, fish and eggs. As these items are bought weekly, consumers are very aware of their prices. Indeed across the board, prices of food have risen by more than total inflation in recent months, just as in 2001 and the beginning of 2002.
Inflation and food prices
More moderate price increases
The overall price increase is smaller than that for the top ten. This is because opposite the products with substantial increases there are also those with much smaller increases.
Clothes prices, for example, have risen by less than 3 percent in the space of five years. The share of clothes is more than five percent in the consumer basket of goods, about the same as that for products in the top ten of price increases. The price of housing has risen by 15 percent, slightly under the average. This item accounts for 16 percent of total consumer spending, and thus weighs heavily in the calculation of inflation.
Substantial price decreases too
Prices of some goods have even fallen in the last five years. The top ten decreases include computers, telephone and internet services, TV sets and photographic equipment. The average price decrease for these items is twenty percent, with computers way out in the lead: they have halved in price in the space of ten years.
Top ten price decreases
Consumers are not so always aware of these decreases, however. First these cheaper items are usually purchased only once every few years. Moreover, new and better models are introduced, which makes it very difficult to compare prices. For example, a computer costing the same today as five years ago will be four times as fast and have ten times the memory capacity. If this is taken into account, the 'pure' price has deceased. And it is this 'pure' price change that Statistics Netherlands measures and reflects in its inflation rate.

Few places on earth have been invaded by foreign powers more than where I write you from this week, the small country of Estonia. After all the invaders it seems I am the latest one to add to the long list, even if it's just to visit my in-laws. My small scale American invasion this holiday season follows the first in a long line of more aggressive occupations which started with the Germans, then the Danes, the Swedes and most recently the Russians. The tiny Republic of Estonia has been run over by colonial powers for almost a thousand years.
Estonia is not full of national treasures or vast energy resources; its primary attraction is and always has been location. Estonia is a tiny country with a population of 1.8 million, nestled between Russia and Finland on the Baltic Sea in what is fast becoming the epicenter of the new resource revolution in the region.
The road less traveled
I must admit then when I met my wife Katrin and she told me she was from a tiny country in the Baltic called Estonia I had to reach for a map, and even then I still had to ask for help. Today I consider myself far less ignorant and much more educated about this region of the world. In my opinion as the next big resource plays and markets will be based here in the Baltic not in the U.S. or Western Europe.

Artists > Carole Minou
101 Storm Clouds, oil
102 Carol Pears, A Study, oil wash on canvas
Carole Minou
American, 1946-2012
Joined the Carmel Art Association in 1980.
Minou began drawing as a child in Southern California where she was born. "I believer my fascination with visual art began in Santa Barbara, after seeing the light down there, the textures and the colors...I have no idea why some kids like to play marbles and I liked to play with objects and light."
Not having a formal art school background, Minou still followed a long and disciplined course of observation and practice. She credits her practice of Tai Chi in learning how to let her work and ife evolve based on principles of harmony and balance.
Her interest in Asian art and religion led her to New Zealand where she was a member of the New Zealand Arts Guild, and to Fiji where she taught for the Fiji Arts Commission. She also lived and worked in Western Samoa and Australia.
After residing in the Monterey area for a number of years, her path eventually led to south India where she studied and worked at a spiritual center run by the Dalai Lama. She passed away peacefully in Mysore, Karnataka India in 2012 after a lengthy illness, with two of her three sons at her side.

Last week ended the radio run of Mike Francessa in NYC. He and Chris Russo were "Mike and the Mad Dog" on WFAN in NYC from about 1990 until that team dissolved about 10 years ago. Francessa continued to do the afternoon slot on WFAN until last week. There were "sports radio" programs in various cities before Mike and the Mad Dog but the popularity of that show topped any of its predecessors and basically led to the "experiment" in the early 90s of "All-Sports Stations" around the country. Russo continues his career on satellite radio and with a short program on MLB Network TV; Francessa has not revealed what he might do next. In any event, last week was the end of an era.
In a way, Mike Francessa is a latter-day Howard Cosell. If you did a poll and asked people in NYC who their favorite sports broadcaster is and in the same poll asked them who their least favorite sports broadcaster is, Francessa might top both lists. Howard Cosell did that once back in the 1970s. This situation may help you to understand how and why Mike Francessa has been part of a highly rated radio program for more than 25 years.
Bonne chance, Mike Francessa.
Last week, on Saturday to be specific, there was another "media milestone". I saw the first "Bracketology" column on CBSSports.com. No, I did not click on it and read it; bracketology columns in mid-December are about as interesting as football's "Mock Draft" columns are in July. I am a staunch defender of the First Amendment, but I might make an exception if someone passed a law to prevent those types of "journalism" to exist more than 2 weeks before the decisions involving tournament selection or drafting happen.
When Jeffrey Loria sold the Marlins' franchise to an ownership group fronted by Derek Jeter, the narrative was that baseball fans in Miami would finally get an organization run by "baseball people" who would put a solid product on the field for fans to get behind. The latent love of baseball inherent in all those South Floridians would erupt and the Marlins would be relevant on a consistent basis. Let's just say that nothing akin to that environment has emerged.
It appears that the new ownership group may not have pockets deep enough to maintain relevancy – at least for the moment. The new guys – not the hated Jeffrey Loria – are orchestrating a deconstruction that resembles the act of taking a wrecking ball to the major league roster. It is a prototypical salary dump situation. The suggestion is that the team will get the payroll down below $90M and use shared revenues to pay down ownership debt for several years and then – maybe – become relevant players in MLB. That is not what fans were led to believe would happen; the fans are not happy.
Here is how Greg Cote summarized the ongoing situation in the Miami Herald:
"Remember 10 weeks ago when we all loved Jeter?: Ah, the good old days! It was the month before last. Derek Jeter arrived as a knight on a white steed to save the Marlins and be everything for South Florida that Jeffrey Loria was not. Then he traded Dee Gordon, Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna in a flurry — a murder-us row. Loria 2.0."
I think there is an interesting/ironic element to the Stanton trade with the Yankees that has not received a lot of attention. The only player with MLB experience the Marlins got back from the Yankees in the exchange is named "Castro" – as in Starlin Castro. Given the large Cuban-American community in Miami, that name is not going to be one to put on the marquee.
I think this unfolding story in Miami should get some folks in the mahogany suites in MLB to think about strategic direction. It would appear that the new owners in Miami are overly leveraged or without sufficient asset-backing to run the club as if they are wearing big-boy pants. Nonetheless, this ownership group was "vetted" and "approved" by MLB only months ago. Might MLB need to be a bit more stringent in whatever it does in terms of "vetting"?
In an even larger sense, perhaps MLB needs to start thinking about what Bernie Sanders rails about – income inequality. There will always be teams with owners richer than the owners of other teams; there will always be teams that generate higher revenues than competing teams; those things are unavoidable. However, MLB might want to take the extreme highs and the extreme lows on the scale and bring them a bit closer together.
If the Marlins continue their trajectory for a couple of years, the Marlins can join the A's and the Rays as Quadruple-A teams who further develop young players for other MLB franchises. If the Marlins' real objective is get their payroll under $90M for next year, they would join only 4 other teams who "enjoyed" that economic stature in 2017. Those teams were:
- Oakland A's: $81.7M
- San Diego Padres: $71.6M
- Tampa Bay Rays: $69.9M
- Milwaukee Brewers: $63.1M
The A's and the Rays are almost always in the bottom quartile of MLB in terms of salary; the Marlins have joined them in that status on frequent occasions. Given that the top teams put lineups on the field that cost more than $200M every year since 2008, there seems to be a caste system built into MLB that need not be there. I doubt this sort of thing gets much attention in the MLB Front Office – – but it should.
Finally, I try to keep political commentary out of these rants as best I can. However, consider this observation from Bob Molinaro in the Hampton Roads Virginian-Pilot from last week:
"Political football: It's being reported that when all the write-in votes in the controversial Alabama Senate race are accounted for that Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban will finish third. Is there something in Saban's contract that provides a bonus for that?"
By the way folks, would you be shocked to learn that "Bear" Bryant finished fourth?
But don't get me wrong, I love sports………

The Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. was to be released sometime later this year by Nintendo, but we may now have an exact release date for it.
A pre-order card by retail store Fred Meyer shows that the game will be out in North America on November 21st. This is a feasible release date because Nintendo had already given a vague release period and considering it falls on a Friday when most big Nintendo games are released, it makes a lot of sense.
Earlier it was revealed that you could use the 3DS as a Wii U controller and you will also be able to import 3DS custom characters onto the Wii U.
Nintendo has not revealed the official release date for the Wii U version yet but we will keep you updated. The 3DS version comes out on October 3rd.

Switching to being a SAHM has definitely been an adjustment, especially while under the weather! I've fallen behind on the house maintenance routine, dinner last night never made it off the ground and we ended up ordering pizza, and Z has been taking some very short naps. It's been the perfect storm for a overwhelming week, but I think things are starting to turn around. I've decided to hold off on the more structured leaning units until we find our rhythm at home together. In the meantime, we are exploring the local parks, libraries, museums, etc and stepping up on our toy rotation. Z also learned the word "noise" this week and he has been observing all sorts of noises - some that I don't even notice. As a result, we had some fun with a metal mixing bowl this morning. He started out drumming on it. Then we flipped it over and he hit the rim. He was absolutely delighted at the different sound it made. I said something about it sounding like the bells in Spain and he lit up and said, "yeah!".
Hopefully we will find a good rhythm and resume the unit studies soon!

Y'all–my absolute favorite boutique is closing it's doors this month. I actually recently wrote about Laboratoria and how truly unique this fabulous, artsy, super hip store is. It's the end of a very well-dressed era and there's a huge sale that comes along with it. If you're in the Houston area, stop by for 30%-40% off current styles, you won't find these pieces this discounted anywhere else. I'm super sad to see this place go. Laboratoria will live on in my closet though; I've purchased so many special pieces that will remain favorites in my wardrobe for eternity.
I found today's white dress there and plan to camp out in it all summer long. It can be worn off the shoulder or the bows can be tied on the shoulder for a totally different look. In yesterday's post we talked about rocking all white, and there's nothing easier than a white dress. I've yet to meet a girl who doesn't own one. In case you're looking to update your white dress section, I'm sharing my top 10 favorites at the end of this post.
outfit details | MSGM dress *30% off at Laboratoria | mules side note, these are the most comfortable wedges I've found | clutch | sunglasses *on sale

The Post Office Buildings in Cairo, Illinois. Photo by Michael Huntington – Spring, 2016.
by Michael Huntington
At the very tip of Southern Illinois, where the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers meet, is the small town of Cairo (Kay-row). It was once a bustling, up-and-coming city at the trade junction of America's biggest rivers. But, decades of economic decline, corruption, crime, and incessant flooding has decimated this once prosperous place – leaving behind some beautiful architecture amidst the numerous abandoned and boarded-up buildings. It feels like a ghost town at times – a locale where one might film an episode of the Walking Dead.
During it's hey-day in the 1950s, Cairo was the model American small town. Almost cliche, it reveled in it's Americana: family, community, civic duty, church, patriotism, small-town values, a healthy dose of Cold War paranoia. The men bowled and attended Lodges, ladies tended to their households, children rode their bikes about the the neighborhood with little fear. Post War America. Baby boom.
The culture of Cairo was led by it's times, and in the post-War world of 1950, the times told tale of Buck Rogers and Flying Saucers flown by Weird Creatures from Outer Space Worlds. The influence also came from REAL stories being told – through the media and local grapevine – of recent encounters with strange discs in the sky. FLYING SAUCERS OVER AMERICA! The nation was a-buzzed by aliens psychologically and in reality. Kenneth Arnold, Roswell, the Mantell Crash – these were new flying saucer stories from recent years – all ablazed the pages of many-a-town's newspapers and were sensationalized in the dominant media of radio. Sci-fi pulp magazines, no doubt, also contributed greatly to this climate. The May/June issue of Life Magazine, sure to be found on every coffee table and in the local barber shop, carried the now-famous McMinnville saucer photos by Paul Trent. Saucer talk was everywhere.
But they knew it all was a joke, right? There are no Martians, right? And yes, to many it was all a joke and something to be made fun of, or something just for fun. A goof. But, those Commies were out there and maybe THEY were up to something…so we should keep watching the skies! Or maybe it's a secret aircraft we have in secret – like those nukes and rockets we have, you know. Or maybe, just maybe – and especially to the young that would begin to mature in the coming decade – those Flying Saucers Are Real!
On July 26, 1950, the news spread quickly through the streets of Cairo: a FLYING SAUCER with Little Green Men inside had landed or CRASHED down by the Post Office Building and it was being GUARDED by the Army! Folks headed down in droves and beheld what the rumors conveyed: a silvery disc on the Post Office lawn with four uniformed military personnel standing nearby, keeping the growing crowd from approaching too closely! No one (except maybe a few) knew what was really going on or what was happening at this curious scene. But, a carnival-like excitement was in the air and it was growing with each minute. Someone notified the Press…and calls started flooding into local police and military switchboards. What the heck is going on in Cairo? Have aliens landed? Are creatures from Another World invading Southern Illinois?
Okay, so…in actuality, those that did go down to "see the flying saucer" – and got close enough for a decent look – knew what was up after closer examination: the so-called "saucer" proved to be a man-made affair constructed out of maybe plywood, or perhaps sheet metal, and probably brushed with some shiny silver paint! The "craft" wasn't a large vehicle by any means, it could provide maybe just enough room for a kid or two! It had a wire antenna coming out of the top…that looked like it was maybe just a stretched-out metal hangar! And the military cordon? Well, those fellas guarding the spaceship didn't look like stiff-and-proper Army soldiers: their uniforms didn't match, they didn't have correct insignias and patches, their khakis seemed not to fit, and "hey, wait a minute, I think I bowl with that guy…or, isn't that Mary's boy? I didn't know he was in the Army…I thought that kid was still in High School!"
So it was a bunch of baloney. But what was up with all of this? Who was behind all of this and are they gonna get in trouble? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT? This was entertainment gold for folks living in a small American town in 1950…there wasn't much else to do. So they waited. Meanwhile, word still spread to other towns – by passersby traveling through Cairo – that there was a flying saucer in the town.
After a few hours, when the time arrived (or maybe after being pressed to wrap it up by Authorities who had begun to think that maybe things were getting just a bit out of hand), there was finally some movement. A khaki-ed young guard broke ranks and walked towards the alien craft and proceeded to open the cardboard hatch which led into the saucer's interior. Perhaps in a startled fashion, the soldier moved back away from the craft just as a small, green "Martian" leaped out – or slithered out – of the craft carrying a sign marked with a greeting of some kind! Moving towards the crowd, the "alien" – who was obviously just someone's face-painted kid dressed in a jumpsuit adorned at the top with the short end of a couple of car antennas – held up the sign for all to read in plain-old American English: I FLEW DOWN FROM MARS JUST TO SEE THE JAYCEES MINSTREL SHOW!
Yes, it was all a prank. A publicity stunt. But, within a day or two, the dust-up that this event caused for the region was made apparent. Word and rumors spread so quickly that the Army itself had to respond – and they were not happy with the prank. They suffered a deluge of inquiries and concerns, "thousands of phone calls," many critical of the military for being involved in such a stunt (which they weren't). A number of local papers wrote pieces detailing the whole affair…all unclear if any one was ultimately held responsible for this distracting "scare." Eventually things went on as normal…the Jaycees held their show (at which I'm sure many chuckled, getting a big kick out of the whole ruckus that was caused) and the story faded into the past – becoming a handed-down tale, becoming an urban legend, becoming altogether forgotten.
Looking back through the veil of history, perhaps we missed something, though. Maybe we overlooked the five men and women who, perhaps, watched the saucer prank unfold that day from across the street and who didn't think that the affair was funny at all. You see these folks, just a few weeks before on June 28th, witnessed two shiny chrome discs fly across the skies of Cairo – hover for a time – and then speed off to the southwest towards the Missouri Bootheel. At least that is what was officially reported.
But who knows for sure? Maybe they were actually in on the stunt and were laying the groundwork for the Jaycee event and all were in cahoots? Guesswork. Alas, such is the way with the past: long-dead stories, from long-dead people and all that is left now are old newspaper clippings that are but pieces of the puzzle… our re-tellings becoming stunts in their own right. The mystery forever remains, only occasionally to be dusted off and given a fresh coat of paint…maybe silver, like on Cairo's home-made saucer from long ago.
Just another bogus flying saucer "publicity stunt!"

The 1973 Grand Tower UFO Sightings
by Michael Huntington
The Mississippi River town of Grand Tower, Illinois has a reputation for being a strange and unusual place. Time Magazine, no less, once dubbed it "The Unluckiest Town in America" due to constant flooding disasters and economic hardships common to living in a flood plain. But, it is also known as a regional "Twilight Zone" because of it's long history with all shades of paranormal wierdness. You name it, they have a story about it: ghosts, haunted houses, Bigfoot, unexplained sounds, bizarre electronic phenomena, cursed lands, two-legged dogs (I know it, because I saw it), creepy ritual activity, etc. In fact, the weirdness goes far back beyond even the town's founding – back to when the local natives viewed the giant rock feature that jutted out of the Mississippi (The Grand Tower) as an off-limits sacred/mystical place, to when the Conquistadors erected a cross atop the rock to mark their explorations (and to ward off evil?), to the numerous massacres of settlers and natives, to when the coves around Grand Tower were occupied by river pirates that camped along the ridges of the Devil's Backbone and attacked shipping from the top of the Devil's Bake Oven. There is a tree that looks like the Grim Reaper that sits atop this "Devil's Kitchen," right next to the giant gas pipeline that comes out of the Bake Oven to span the Mississippi, right next to the ruins of a house haunted by the spirit of a girl named Esmerelda. There is a hint of sulfur in the air. Weirdness, indeed.
Today, however, we mark the weirdness that was alleged to have taken place on March 22nd and April 16th, 1973 when a large, doughnut-shaped UFO was observed hovering above Grand Tower's Central Illinois Power Plant, possibly siphoning off some power before being chased off by American military jets. While not a major story unto it's self, the Grand Tower Incidents are considered to be part of the large wave of UFO activity that was taking place about 60 miles southwest – around Piedmont, Missouri – known as the Brushy Creek Wave of 1973.
Here is the story according to a National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) report:
730322 9:15 PM. GRAND TOWER, IL. Cl.
Oscar Wills, 57, was an operating engineer at the Central Illinois Public Service Company's power generating station on the Mississippi River at Grand Tower, Illinois. He was on duty when another employee, Willis Hughes, a turbine operator, telephoned from his home in Grand Tower to ask Wills to check on something that was hovering over or near the station's 66,000-volt transformer yard. Wills went out the north door of the power generating station and immediately saw an object approximately 1,500′ high over the yard. He estimated the object's size at 25′ in diameter (250 yards away). He described the object as a ring of lighted panels or windows with definite spacing between windows, each emitting pulsating light varying from a dark red-to-orange-to-white sequenced in a clockwise rotation like a theater marquee. The pulsations gave the impression the object was spinning clockwise, but the window separators remained stationary. Wills said the object was doughnut-shaped, or more like a wedding band, since only the lighted panels were visible. Wills walked to within 150 yards of the transformer bank, viewing the object with great curiosity. Then he became a little apprehensive and decided to return to the Power Plant and ask two other employees on duty to come out to witness the phenomenon. As he retraced his steps, the object which had been hovering directly over the transformer bank, started moving directly toward him, and passed over his head. As the object darted noiselessly past the northwest corner of the building, he lost sight of it for a moment as the Plant building obstructed his viewing area. He walked rapidly around to the west side of the Plant, facing the Mississippi River, and noted the object was now hovering directly over the middle (No. 2) of the three water pumping station buildings. He walked up to the ramp to the pump station house and on to the sea wall protecting the Plant from the river. He was now again directly under the object. Wills said it would take a circular object 5′ in diameter at arm's length to cover it at this point. After watching for 7 to 8 minutes, the PA system called Wills back to the telephone within the Plant. It was Willis Hughes, who wanted to know what Oscar could see from his vantage point. Willis cut the conversation short so he and the other two men could go out to view the object. The object was gone. In 25-30 minutes 3-4 jets made 8-10 sweeps of the area about 2-3 minutes apart. The nearest base is is Scott at Belleville.

An excerpt from the May, 1974 FATE Magazine article "The Brushy Creek UFO Scare" by Jerome Clark recounting the Grand Tower Encounters:
Grand Tower, Ill., the Illinois-Missouri border, is almost 60 miles northeast of Piedmont but the UFO Oscar Wills sighted the evening of March 22 sounds very much like those from Brushy Creek. Wills, an operating engineer at the Central Illinois Public Service Company's power generating station on the Mississippi one and a half miles from Grand Tower, first saw the object when fellow-employee, Willis Hughes called from his home to say something was hovering over the transformer yard.
"I went out by myself to take a look," Wills recounted in an interview with FATE, "and there it was, hovering about 1500 feet in the air and about 200 yards from me. It was a round saucer-shaped object about 25 to 30 feet in diameter. It looked like a high-intensity red light with a lot of lights coming out of what seemed to be portholes. The lights were flashing and causing a spinning effect. I couldn't see any image of its bottom, which may have been concave, I'm not sure. I kept walking and got to within 100 yards of it. I looked at it for two or three minutes until it darted behind the power plant almost like a blur. I went north of the power plant to see where it had gone and found it hovering over a water intake pump on the other side of the station. I stood there for a couple of minutes and watched it." Wills' vigil was interrupted by a phone call from another employee (not Hughes) who wanted to know what was going on. By the time Wills got off the phone and enlisted two other men to go outside with him the UFO was gone.
Wills then called Hughes who informed him the object had flown across the river and disappeared into the Missouri hills. Within minutes, however, Wills and his crew saw four jet planes making passes over the plant area as if searching. "The most amazing part," Wills says, "is the way this object moved rapidly with no effort and perfectly silently. I just can't get over that. I don't know what it was but I know this much: we don't have anything like this." Wills claimed that a nearly identical object appeared over Grand Tower nearly a month later, on the evening of April 16.
The Green Futuro of Livingston, Illinois
Green Futuro – Livingston, Illinois. Photo by Michael Huntington – 2014.
Okay, maybe not THAT green. But I think this looks cool! The Green Futuro – "Flying Saucer House" – on the grounds of the Pink Elephant Antique Mall, just off Route 66 near Livingston, Illinois.
Inside of the Mall, which is an old dance hall possibly haunted by Al Capone's ghost, tons of cool collectibles can be found (one could spend all day here exploring). Outside – on the grounds – there are a number of classic roadside attractions: a giant Pink Elephant, Michelin giants, giant chairs and bicycles, an old Twistee Treat stand, various cannons, and a few flying saucers – one being the Green Futuro.
The Futuro in a modern/futurist flying saucer-shaped ski chalet designed by the late Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. Only about a hundred were manufactured during the 60s and 70s. Less than 20 of these plastic pre-fabs survive in the US – in various states of disrepair – some with residents living in them (the Livingston Futuro is an unoccupied shell). They could be shipped in pieces and assembled, or pre-assembled and delivered by truck or helicopter. Artists and architects are rediscovering these historical gems and have, in recent years, began refurbishing old and building new Futuros for museums and art centers. Collectors value complete shells at around fifty grand.
Livingston's Green Futuro was our first to explore. The following year, we were able to check out the White Futuro in Gulf Breeze, Florida on Pensacola Beach. We plan on seeing three more during travels this summer, with more to check off the list in the years ahead!

Video: Villanova Basketball Report: March Madness is Here, Is Villanova a "Clutch" Free Throw Shooting Team?
By Bob Long on March 6, 2018
In this week's Villanova Basketball Report, with Bob Long, Tom Trainer, and Kevin Long, we discuss Villanova basketball leading into the BIG EAST Tournament, and have an in-depth discussion regarding whether Villanova is a "clutch" free throw shooting team (with a full statistical analysis to buoy the discussion).

5. Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
6. Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.
7. Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy.
a. Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events. For example, if a student is selected at random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected and the probability that a girl will be selected.
b. Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process. For example, find the approximate probability that a spinning penny will land heads up or that a tossed paper cup will land open-end down. Do the outcomes for the spinning penny appear to be equally likely based on the observed frequencies?
8. Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.
a. Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs.
b. Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., "rolling double sixes"), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.
c. Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events. For example, use random digits as a simulation tool to approximate the answer to the question: If 40% of donors have type A blood, what is the probability that it will take at least 4 donors to find one with type A blood?

This is a fairly easy but somewhat time consuming job. However, if you maintain the roof, you are less likely to have
problems later on. Fixing a broken roof or replacing it can be a lot more costly and painful than yearly maintenance.
You don't need much for this. A cut down paintbrush, your Mum's toothbrush and lithium (LM) grease.
First off you need to clean the runners. You need to remove all old grease and crap.
You need a cleaning spray or maybe a steam cleaner. Clean out the channels with a toothbrush.
Get your cut down paintbrush and distribute lithium (LM) grease through the roof bars.
Distribute it with the toothbrush.
Make sure you get the lithium grease right down the runners attached to the car.
Operate the roof back and forth a few times to distribute the grease. You can also use spray lithium grease.
Using a rubber seal tretment like Gummi Pflege Stift, clean and condition all of the seals.
Over a year, the roof can get dirty. Bird poo, tree sap and general grime will stain the canvas.
Using a medium stiffness brush, brush all of the loose detritus off the roof.
Spray on your roof cleaning spray. These can be bought online from eBay or car shops like Halfords or Pep Boys etc.
Rub it into the roof with a moist clean cloth...
...scrub the cleaner into the canvas with the medium bristle brush...
... until the roof looks even and clean.
Remove as much of the cleaner as you can using a clean wet cloth. Then pat dry with a clean towel.
You should then have a roof conditioner spray in the kit. This keeps the canvas flexible.
Rub it into the canvas with a damp cloth and then clean it off with a clean damp cloth.
Allow the roof to dry naturally before carrying on to the next step.
You'll need some waterproof spray, either for soft tops or tents etc.
Mask off the area surrounding the roof. Test on an inconspicuous area in case it turns your cabrio to shit.
Spray approximately 30cm from the roof. Overlap each spray and keep it even.
Do 3 or more full coats (finish the can), allowing each coat to dry for an hour.
Allow the last coat to dry for a full day. Brush the whole roof down with the medium bristle brush.
Depending on how dirty your roof gets and if you park under trees, you may have to redo this every year or 2.
Obviously read the instructions on your products.
