Sustainable practices and technologies gain traction in global Display Industry
Four out of five global electronic display companies have adopted environmentally-sustainable practices in their businesses, according to a recent iSuppli survey, indicating the greening of the display industry has moved beyond the talk phase and into actual practice.
In a recent iSuppli global survey of 520 display professionals from 200 companies, 80% of respondents said their companies are pursuing the use of environmentally benign materials. A total of 83% of respondents stated that their companies employ "green office" practices, such as recycling and using motion sensors to deactivate unused lights. Furthermore, a total of 73% said their firms are implementing programs to improve energy efficiency. While such efforts often are presented as environmentally responsible initiatives, they also deliver bottom-line benefits for corporations participating in the LCD, plasma and other display-oriented and high-tech industries, according to iSuppli. "Implementing a sustainable corporate strategy can be a major revenue and cost-savings generator for any company that is thinking strategically about how it can improve its own global carbon footprint," said Dr. Kimberly Allen, senior consultant to iSuppli. "These companies will gain a competitive advantage over those focused solely on the bottom line." The attached figure presents the level adoption of sustainable practices among the global display companies, based on iSuppli's survey. Sustainability: beyond environmentalism The concept of sustainability has its precursor in environmental initiatives. These initiatives include design-for-environment efforts, zero-waste programs and conducting of life-cycle assessments of their products. Sustainability is distinct from environmental activity in that it goes beyond care for the physical Earth," Allen noted. "Rooted in system-level thinking, sustainability encompasses both the human and the physical dimensions, as well as the time dimension, creating an economy and a society that can endure for the long term because they do not consume more than the ecosystem can naturally restore." Interestingly, sustainability is much less about across-the-board restraint than the earlier environmental movement because it requires conscious design and active management of resources to create cycles that give back value after taking resources for human use. Green shift Major factors driving the embrace of sustainability strategies include demand from consumers, investors and employees, all of whom are becoming more concerned and better informed about environmental issues. This has led to a requirement for a spotless green reputation in the marketplace within some industries. It has also influenced the ways in which businesses interact with their various stakeholders. Companies that accommodate such demands are likely to achieve better market performance, iSuppli believes. Sustaining profits Another consideration driving display companies toward environmentally-sustainable practices is cost savings. "The No.-1 way sustainability benefits companies during good economic times and bad is that it allows them to operate more efficiently and to save money," Allen said. "For example, if a corporation cuts its energy use, it comes right off the energy bill. It has been found that most IT departments and companies are using at least 20% to 30% more power than they need to. "Companies are taking the low-hanging fruit by saving power and saving materials. If a company is making a product using X amount of materials, and it makes a process change to instead use 0.75X of materials, it is buying fewer parts—and helping the environment too." Displays of greenness Beyond sustainable practices, display companies are implementing green technologies in their products. Some of the more innovative activity is occurring in bistable displays, which can display a fixed image with no power input. They also are gravitating toward Light-Emitting Diode (LED) backlights for large LCDs, which can reduce power consumption and the introduction of toxic materials into the environment. Other efforts include novel solution-processing techniques that save materials or energy; biologically-derived and -inspired materials; and the use of photovoltaics in conjunction with the display. Some companies also are experimenting with technologies that provide environmental benefits during the use phase, the time when the user owns the device. Comprehensive commitment "While iSuppli's survey revealed that the vast majority of display firms have a strong interest in environmental considerations, few are approaching the issue from a truly strategic viewpoint," Allen noted. "Because of this, most display companies may not be reaping the full benefits of implementing a comprehensive environmentally sustainable strategy."

Storm Chase Sunday March 2nd
I'll definitely be chasing tomorrow likely somewhere in western or north Texas. I'm not going to make a detailed forecast because the models are having quite a bit of difficulty in timing and placement of a lead shortwave that will eject out across the target area Sunday afternoon/evening. But I'm gonna look at things real closely in the morning and watch how it unfolds throughout the day and decide on a more precise target then. Right now I'm planning on leaving from Norman around 8-9am and heading down to Wichita Falls area and possibly then to Abilene region. I'll post again in the morning.

(Continued from previous question...)
Why Q/A should not report to development?
Based on research from the Quality Assurance Institute, the percent
of quality groups in each location is noted,
50% - reports to Senior IT Manager - This is the best positioning
because it gives the Quality Manager immediate access to the IT
Manager to discuss and promote Quality issues, when the quality
manager reports elsewhere, quality issues may not be raised to
the appropriate level or receive the necessary action.
25% - reports to Manager of systems/programming
15 % reports to Manger oprerations.
10 % outside IT function.

Incredible Christmas Light Shows
It seems like certain things to do with Christmas, like snow sculptures and Christmas Lights, must be outdone by last year's attempt. When the effort to be bigger and better than last year is a success, I find myself wondering if it's possible to go beyond that. Especially when it comes to Chris…Read More

It wasn't nothing to you but it was something to me. To have you just up and walk out like that. What you think happened to me? Did you ever stop to ask yourself, "I wonder how Vera doing–I wonder how she feel?" I lay here every night in an empty bed. In an empty room. Where? Someplace special? Someplace where you had been? The same room you walked out of? The same bed you turned your back on? You give it up and you want it? What kind of sense does that make?
These are just some of the words you can hear bouncing off the walls of CO-OP High School's black box theater on a typical Thursday afternoon. It is here that students are working with teaching artists from Long Wharf Theatre in preparation for the National August Wilson Monologue Competition.
The AWMC founded in 2007 by Kenny Leon and Todd Kreidler at Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company in Atlanta.Through a series of partnerships between schools and regional theaters, students from across the country get to immerse themselves in all aspects of Wilson's work. They then perform monologues from his plays at regional competitions in their hometowns. A select few are chosen from each participating city, and these finalists are then flown to New York for a final competition at the August Wilson Theater on Broadway. The program is now in ten cities nationwide, including Atlanta, Boston, and Pittsburgh among others. New Haven is currently in its shadow year of participation and will officially join the competition next year.
During the shadow year, Long Wharf Theatre and Cooperative Arts & Humanities High School have partnered to offer an after-school program focusing on August Wilson's work. Once a week, CO-OP students work with Long Wharf teaching artists to learn about the plays, how to embody Wilson's characters through acting exercises, and get to work intensely on performing one of his many monologues. "Students are able to receive insight on a playwright who not only looks like them but reflects their everyday lives or the lives of their parents." says Treneé McGee, one of Long Wharf's teaching artists. "It is more important now than ever that we spread artistic work and knowledge, educating individuals on how to become more productive in the lives of others. Wilson's work will always be relevant to us, especially if we as a country want to grow."
August Wilson was a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright. His literary legacy is a series of ten plays, The American Century Cycle. Each is set in a different decade and chronicles the African-American experience. August Wilson's plays have a particular home in New Haven. The late Lloyd Richards, former Artistic Director of Yale Repertory Theatre, directed many of Wilson's plays from their first reading all the way through production. This year, Yale Rep produced Wilson's Seven Guitars, which represents the 1940s entry of the Century Cycle. In 2013 Long Wharf Theatre produced Fences, which is set in the 1950s. "Wilson's plays are told with rich poetic beauty and lyricism of language. Through his extraordinary gift of storytelling, we understand the history and the identity of black culture in America," says Barbara Hentschel, another Long Wharf teaching artist. "I look forward to seeing the students every week. It is a privilege to witness their exploration of the complex issues of race, oppression and identity in the world we live in. They are teaching me more than they will ever know!"
In May, there will be a mock competition for the students that have participated in the program this year. The hope is to build excitement amongst the students as well as other New Haven-area schools for next year, when New Haven will officially join as a participating city.

I have been following Dancing with the Stars this season, despite my better judgement, mostly because I thought they were doing something interesting by including two "out" members from the GLBT community: Chaz Bono, a transman, and Carson Kressley, a gay man. Additionally, featured this season was an injured war veteran, J.R. Martinez, as well as numerous other "B-list" celebrities like Nancy Grace, Ricki Lake, and Hope Solo.
Before the season even aired publicly, there was much debate and protest put up by the group "One Million Moms" who did not want Chaz on a "family" show. After hearing about the protest by these moms, I decided to watch and see how ABC decided to present Chaz. Despite the traditional pairing of a man with a women for this dancing show (I had heard some requests that Carson dance with a male partner), Chaz was partnered with a feminine, female professional dancer, respecting his current gender identity and traditional presentation as a masculine, straight man. During the first show, all of the contestants were introduced and Chaz was portrayed as a transgender person who grew up as a girl, the "daughter" of Cher and Sonny Bono. A picture of his early childhood in which he is wearing pigtails and a dress was even shown on screen, making this introduction a fairly standard transgender intro sound bite in my opinion. However, after this introduction, his trans-ness was not discussed again.
In fact, his weight became the central issue for Chaz, his partner and the judges on this show. Chaz was consistently critiqued for his dancing – much like the rest of the contestants. However, he was also unnecessarily ridiculed by one of the judges in particular for being overweight. Chaz was referred to as an "ewok" and a "penguin" on different occasions, both of which are cuddly and cute, but round and "pudgy" ANIMALS. Actually, an ewok is not even an animal, it is an imaginary, invented creature from the Star Wars franchise. Despite the unnecessary nature of critiquing someone for their weight on a show about dancing and the fact that Chaz had admitted he was competing in the hopes of increasing his fitness, I believe there were deeper meanings implied by these comparisons and critiques.
I feel that the judge, a flamboyant (gay?) man, could not recognize Chaz as a MAN. Instead, choosing to refer to him through comparisons to animals. It would be inappropriate for someone on this show to outwardly criticize Chaz for being transgender, but criticizing someone for their weight is still seen as acceptable in American culture. Thus, this man chose to repeatedly and pointedly mark Chaz's body as unacceptable at every chance and in the most acceptable way that he could. While I have a problem with this judge's inappropriate speech, I take greater issue with the manner in which Chaz exited the show and handled these critiques.
He said after he was voted off of the show that he wanted to "show America a different kind of man" and referred to how "if he had seen someone like him on TV when he was a kid that it would have been much easier for him growing up." The sentiment expressed was indeed moving, however, he never once used any adjectives to describe just what kind of man he is! Even more, after the show, when he made the rounds on the talk shows after his exit, he focused on denouncing the judge for his harassment based upon his weight, neglecting to highlight himself as an "out" transperson. It seems that his identity as an overweight man has come to eclipse his identity as a transman.
So, after his statement about showing America a different kind of man, I was left to ask myself what kind of difference he had in fact shown us? He certainly was not visibly queer, though Carson, the gay contestant was (he joked about wearing a woman's costume on numerous occasions). Chaz did not portray anything outside of the hegemonic presentation of manliness in America, except for his weight. If someone were to watch this show and miss the first episode they would have no idea that the difference Chaz felt he was portraying was anything other than that of a man with a weight that was currently unpopular. I see great value in showing different bodies on primetime TV, and I acknowledge that body image and weight are real issues in America today, I wanted to ask, if Chaz is actually a "different kind of man"?
While Chaz does not have to exhibit his trans-ness and transgender identity at all times, if you are going to call yourself a spokesperson for the transgender community and publicize your transition through books, documentaries and TV appearances, creating celebrity out of your transgender identity, I would expect you to articulate this identity at every turn. As we know from social science research, identities are not fixed and are very fluid, so perhaps during this show, Chaz's sense of himself as an overweight man was more salient to him than his status as a transgender man. In which case, I applaud his defense of himself as an overweight man, but am left hoping for a continued and stronger transgender presence in the mainstream media.

As university students, shopping for a group of items under a budget is tedious and unnecessarily time consuming. With this algorithm, staying under budget has never been easier.
What it does
This website takes a proposed budget for a list of items needed and computes the top combinations of purchases while staying within budget. Items are considered according to their ratings and number of review.
How we built it
The front end was built using Angular.js using a two column responsive design.
The backend was built using the Node.js framework with one main endpoint supporting a GET request. This GET request has query parameters specifying the categories of items we are searching for (e.g. phones, computers, tables, etc.), the quantities desired for each of them, and the price budget for all of them together. It then makes a call to the Walmart API to gather all appropriate items and returns 20 of the best combinations, best taking into account the rating and number of reviews.
Challenges we ran into
Writing an efficient algorithm so that we can return the needed data in an appropriate amount of time
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Despite numerous challenges along the way, we got a working prototype that handles most cases and also isn't too hard on the eyes.
What we learned
Angular, Node, Linode and setting up an API
What's next for SmartShopper

copy/paste in word or how about where are "tools"?
I'm trying to fix the copy/paste issue from Zotero to Word. Directions say go to tools - add plug in - where might I find tools? If I can't find it I can't fix it! What are the next steps?
This has stopped my research in its tracks - piles are happening..scary piles.
This has stopped my research in its tracks - piles are happening..scary piles.
What is the issue you are experiencing and what troubleshooting steps are you doing? "Tools" is a menu in the Zotero client (like File, Edit, etc.).
I don't see file, edit, etc either.
I can't copy and paste from Zotero to Word when I create a bibliography. The clipboard doesn't show and I can't highlight on the Zotero clipboard.
Troubleshooting - read forum posts that said add a plug-in in tools. I don't know if this means tools in Zotero or Word.
I just had a realization that I might need to update Word?
This is still a bit confusing and it would help if you described what you're actually doing (as in -- "I click on an item in Zotero and then ....") rather than in abstract categories. You can also take screenshots, upload them to a free image hosting site like imgur.com, and link to them here.
But if you don't have menus like Filed, Edit, Tools, at the top of Zotero, you're most likely using the web version. While that does allow copying citations to the clipboard, it's much more limited than the Zotero software, which you can install from zotero.org/download -- unless otherwise noted, all troubleshooting on the forums and in the documentation refers to the local application, not the web view.
I am using the web version. I had no idea there was actual software. I'll try downloading the software and see if that solves the problem.
Do you know if everything stored in the online version will automatically transfer to the software version?
You need to set up syncing in the preferences of the desktop app.

Clarks celebrates its 65th Anniversary!
Clarks are by far one of the most iconic formal shoes to ever be created. Nice in form and style and can go with just about anything, if you want to dress them up in street wear or formal wear. For the 65th anniversary of the shoe they have given us a suede upper and crepe sole allowed for a very comfortable and light alternative to a nice size work boot in blue laces, for the 65th anniversary. I mean how many formal wear boots have you seen that can compete with Clarks originals? Not Many. 65 Years of this boot shows you that it takes real talent for a boot to make it's way through the eras with different styles. Clark Originals are truly the true definition of a classic shoe. Check out more images of the Clarks 65th anniversary Maple Suede Desert Boot shoe in the gallery below.

Mike Perry believes he can take out a seasoned mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran.
Tomorrow night (April 22), Perry will go one-on-one with Jake Ellenberger. The two will meet inside the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The welterweight tilt is expected to serve as the opening bout on the main card of UFC Fight Night 108.
Perry suffered the first loss of his professional MMA career against Alan Jouban back in Dec. 2016. A win over the 13th ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight Ellenberger will likely see Perry make his debut on the rankings.
Ellenberger has dealt with a lot of talented strikers in his 43 professional bouts. Despite the level of experience, Perry told MMAJunkie.com that "The Juggernaut" has never faced someone with the punching power he has:
"I'm going to touch him when I want, and I'm going to make him think I don't have what it's going to take to hurt him. And then when he steps in that target zone, I'm going to hit him with the hardest shot he's ever been hit with. I'm going to do things that haven't been done before, and you can't do that unless you're using your imagination. So, I'm going to stay young in the mind, but experienced as well."

We have 4-H Chick Quest starting today!
There are 32 dozen fertilized eggs ready to go to many different teachers and schools around Greene County. In 21 days, there should be many new chicks born! We have Cornish Cross, Golden Comets, Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rock, and Araucana eggs.
What can we learn from a chick? Find out with ChickQuest, a Science Alive 4-H School Enrichment program that challenges youth to use science, technology, engineering, and math skills to investigate the life cycle of an embryonic chicken egg. From monitoring living eggs to observing fluffy chicks, these lively activities pique curiosity, encourage collaboration and communication, and provide young scientists with unforgettable experiences.
Click here for more information!
This is a great opportunity for youth to learn about lifecycles. If you are interested in bringing this program to your school, contact Rebecca at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will make sure you can participate in this program for the 2018-2019 school year! You will love it!

As face-to-face interaction drives the real estate industry, rarely are properties sold without personal interaction between prospective buyers and selling agents. Most agents handle showing unaccompanied, with zero knowledge of the person they are now alone with on the property. Safe? No. Additionally, agents often have no method of testing the veracity of information provided by an individual, including asset or financial information. Efficient? Hardly.

It happened just after 5 p.m. as the 74-year-old man crossed the street near Portland Estates.
He was struck by a car driven by a 23-year-old man.
The pedestrian's been identified as William Lee of Dartmouth.
He was taken to hospital after the incident, and died there Monday night.
The investigation continues, and police ask anyone with information to contact them.

Here's a picture Rita Ora, whom I'm most familiar with as the ex-girlfriend of a future Taylor Swift song and the francophillic sister in an erotic thriller for third-year law students, did for a photoshoot for Clash Magazine, and it's really great, if you're into trichotillomania. Personally, I've been studying this picture for the better part of the day, and I'm just as confused as Rita Ora looks in this picture. I mean, really, where are her eyebrows?
Did she forget to draw them on, and if so, how? Was she afraid they'd clash with her heart-shaped leopard print? Is albinism the new Look, and if so, can we stop that, Fashion? Will somebody issue an AMBER alert for her eyebrows, or did they just go on a spiritual journey and promise to return when they've found themselves, so please stop worrying? Seriously, where are they??
I'm asking for a friend.

Safeguarding Audits
Section 11 of the Children Act 2004, places duties on a range of organisations, agencies and individuals to ensure their functions, and any services that they contract out to others, are discharged having regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
In addition, they are responsible for ensuring that their staff are competent to carry out their responsibilities for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and creating an environment where staff feel able to raise concerns and feel supported in their safeguarding role.
Safeguarding Support Limited's bespoke safeguarding audits packages and resulting review summary reports will not only provide you with reassurance but will also help you demonstrate the effectiveness of your setting or organisation.
Working with, advising and supporting your Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Safeguarding Team or Designated Safeguarding Person (DSP), we work through one of our Internal Audit Tools which checks that you are referring to and working in accordance with the relevant latest statutory legislation and best practice documentation. In addition, it looks to ensure your setting has the required safeguarding policies in place, reviews your safeguarding training logs, safer recruitment and Single Central Record requirements, highlighting any areas of concerns and evidencing compliance.
Call us on 01274 752299 for more information or to schedule in your full Setting Safeguarding or Single Central Record review or get in touch here.

Could you imagine that a race for office in the Texas Senate and House can be decided by one homeschool family? While this might sound extreme, it is nearly true. And it is proof of how the THSC Rangers program is vital to future elections.
We recently heard a funny story from the last election cycle involving our good friend, State Representative Briscoe Cain of Deer Park (near Houston). He won the 2016 election by an extremely small margin.
A homeschool mother in Rep. Cain's district had a birthday on Election Day, and as her gift, she asked all of her children to stand at the polls in support of Cain and, if they were old enough, to vote for him.
Representative Cain won the election by just 23 votes. This slim margin made us realize that, quite possibly, one homeschool family could change the course of an election.
Additionally, THSC friends State Representative Matt Rinaldi and Senator Bob Hall both won their races with very slim margins, 92 votes and 300 votes, respectively, that could be attributed to homeschool support and grassroots efforts in their districts.
How Your Homeschool Family Can Also Make a Difference
Do you want to challenge homeschool families to get plugged into local politics and elections? Do you want to help elect conservative leaders to office by securing those few additional votes that just might make the difference in preserving our rights and liberties?
THSC is partnering with homeschool parents and homeschool groups all across the state to start THSC Rangers Clubs. These clubs are comprised of students who want to serve on campaigns, engage in the local politics and protect homeschool freedom.
To start one of these impactful clubs, your homeschool family only needs three things:
- Two hours of time per week — we know your time is valuable.
- A place to meet — this could be a church, home or school.
- A group of conservative, like-minded homeschool friends.
Partner with THSC today to start one of these clubs, and you might be the next family to make a difference in a conservative, homeschool-friendly public servant winning an election against all odds.
Fill out this form today to receive more information about starting a THSC Rangers Club in your area of the state! Join THSC in Keeping Texas Families Free!

Inspects Python source files and provides information about type and location of classes, methods etc
Patterns to include in reports.
Note: The input patterns are not applied when running Prospector since Prospector considers dependency between files and filtering the input files affects how Prospector detects issues. Therefore, the files excluded by the patterns are always processed and you may even see logs related to the excluded files in the job console. However, Inspecode eventually ignores any issues detected on the excluded files when generating job reports.
If you need to let Prospector ignore particular files, consider specifying
-I, --ignore-patternsor
-i, --ignore-pathsunder
Patterns to exclude from reports.
Note: Just like
input:, the ignore patterns are not applied when running Prospector.
Alias of
--profile option.
Amount of CPU. The default machine has
0.75 CPU with
2880 MiB RAM.
Below is the list of options that are supported:
-A, --no-autodetect Turn off auto-detection of frameworks and libraries
used. By default, autodetection will be used. To
specify manually, see the --uses option.
-u USES, --uses USES A list of one or more libraries or frameworks that the
project uses. Possible values are: django, celery,
flask. This will be autodetected by default, but if
autodetection doesn't work, manually specify them
using this flag.
-B, --no-blending Turn off blending of messages. Prospector will merge
together messages from different tools if they
represent the same error. Use this option to see all
unmerged messages.
-D, --doc-warnings Include warnings about documentation.
-T, --test-warnings Also check test modules and packages.
-8, --no-style-warnings
Don't create any warnings about style. This disables
the PEP8 tool and similar checks for formatting.
-m, --member-warnings
Attempt to warn when code tries to access an attribute
of a class or member of a module which does not exist.
This is disabled by default as it tends to be quite
-F, --full-pep8 Enables every PEP8 warning, so that all PEP8 style
violations will be reported.
--max-line-length MAX_LINE_LENGTH
The maximum line length allowed. This will be set by
the strictness if no value is explicitly specified
-M, --messages-only Only output message information (don't output summary
information about the checks)
--absolute-paths Whether to output absolute paths when referencing
files in messages. By default, paths will be relative
to the project path
-t TOOLS, --tool TOOLS
A list of tools to run. This lets you set exactly
which tools to run. To add extra tools to the
defaults, see --with-tool. Possible values are: dodgy,
frosted, mccabe, mypy, pep257, pep8, profile-
validator, pyflakes, pylint, pyroma, vulture. By
default, the following tools will be run: dodgy,
mccabe, pep257, pep8, profile-validator, pyflakes,
-w WITH_TOOLS, --with-tool WITH_TOOLS
A list of tools to run in addition to the default
tools. To specify all tools explicitly, use the --tool
argument. Possible values are dodgy, frosted, mccabe,
mypy, pep257, pep8, profile-validator, pyflakes, pylint,
pylint, pyroma, vulture.
-W WITHOUT_TOOLS, --without-tool WITHOUT_TOOLS
A list of tools that should not be run. Useful to turn
off only a single tool from the defaults. To specify
all tools explicitly, use the --tool argument.
Possible values are dodgy, frosted, mccabe, mypy,
pep257, pep8, profile-validator, pyflakes, pylint,
pyroma, vulture.
-P PROFILES, --profile PROFILES
The list of profiles to load. A profile is a certain
'type' of behaviour for prospector, and is represented
by a YAML configuration file. Either a full path to
the YAML file describing the profile must be provided,
or it must be on the profile path (see --profile-path)
--profile-path PROFILE_PATH
Additional paths to search for profile files. By
default this is the path that prospector will check,
and a directory called ".prospector" in the path that
prospector will check.
-s {veryhigh,high,medium,low,verylow}, --strictness {veryhigh,high,medium,low,verylow}
How strict the checker should be. This affects how
harshly the checker will enforce coding guidelines.
The default value is "medium", possible values are
"veryhigh", "high", "medium", "low" and "verylow".
--show-profile Include the computed profile in the summary. This will
show what prospector has decided the overall profile
is once all profiles have been combined and inherited
from. This will produce a large output in most cases
so is only useful when trying to debug why prospector
is not behaving like you expect.
-E, --no-external-config
Determines how prospector should behave when
configuration already exists for a tool. By default,
prospector will use existing configuration. This flag
will cause prospector to ignore existing configuration
and use its own settings for every tool. Note that
prospector will always use its own config for tools
which do not have custom configuration.
--pylint-config-file PYLINT_CONFIG_FILE
The path to a pylintrc file to use to configure
pylint. Prospector will find .pylintrc files in the
root of the project, but you can use this option to
specify manually where it is.
-I IGNORE_PATTERNS, --ignore-patterns IGNORE_PATTERNS
A list of paths to ignore, as a list of regular
expressions. Files and folders will be ignored if
their full path contains any of these patterns.
-i IGNORE_PATHS, --ignore-paths IGNORE_PATHS
A list of file or directory names to ignore. If the
complete name matches any of the items in this list,
the file or directory (and all subdirectories) will be
No tool specific severity levels are available.
Note: The incremental analysis cannot be supported for Prospector. This is because Prospector analyzes source code with dependencies between files and the results on unchanged files can be affected by changed files.
No tool specific experimental options are available.
With default options:
prospector: default
With custom machine:
cpu: 1.5 # 1.5 CPU, 5760 MiB RAM
With custom options:

The above configuration is equivalent to:
--profile: ./my-profile.yaml
If no configuration files are specified via
config-file or

Dancing Nuns
I was always fascinated by the movement of the nuns' clothes. I was also always curious about their philosophy and endurance in suppressing everyday feelings. By time, I realised that these feelings are well replaced other 'allowed' feelings both intellectually challenging and physically spirited. Dancing Nuns is the expressive clay structure dealing with dancing. Yes, nuns dance their life away sometimes. When they have a disposition for it and when they can. Dancing for Him is the utmost in praising Him. A spectacle to see with supleme inspiration.

Battle outside Grand Harbour
This oils depict the battle outside Malta's Grand Harbour around the eighteenth century. It was commissioned recently and it was fun painting it.
I love painting classical work every now and then to check my basic techniques. One has to go back to basics once in a while to start developing again to other work.
Medium: oil on canvas
private collection
08 June 2007
Medium: Pastels
Size: 20'' x 35''
Expression in its strongest. This work is a tumble fight between light and shadows. Dancing lines in colour and intrigue rhyming moods would make a good effect.
My Sanctuary

Brain Cells
Can 'thinking' be painted? Can you feel 'thinking'? Can you touch 'thinking'? How do you visualise it? These are the questions one must ask when doing abstracts. Then one colour leads you to another and one form overlaps the other. One has to remember the fluidity in contrast to forms. The movement of the eye should be taken in account.
Midium: oil on wood
Size : 25'' x 35''
Maimed and dying
Not a cheerful subject but one that needs to be fantomed. This clay statue is the result of personal experience in seeing others going through this terrible event. The statue is made of dried clay and hang on a wooden support.
Death and suffering goes together. Suffering is the thing one needs to avoid. Although suffering purifies the person. Even when one has an accident and suffers pain, one is purified to an extend that in bed, he would look at things in a better light. There and then, would be the best time to make decisions for life. Those would be purified decisions.

"Refining Hard Facts into a Stronger Faith"
Delving into some of the most important – albeit most controversial – questions of all time, this 5-star Award winning book examines the Biblical and scientific arguments on the origins of the world, the nature of reality, and the concept of time. "Remnants of Eden: Evolution, Deep-Time, & the Antediluvian World" offers a fresh, artistic, and well-researched perspective on the seemingly futile arguments that have baffled intellectuals, scientists and philosophers for millennia. Get your copies today in print or digital!
Available here on FOUNDRY 4, and also from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books a Million, and many, many others…
The fact that we see design throughout life shouldn't surprise us if we realize that there is a designer behind it all. This universe is no accident, nor is the life that resides in it. Design is evident, and with that we have a first and compelling argument for the existence of a transcendent creator God. The way Genesis presents this God also appears to preemptively oppose the coming false interpretations of His being and creation. Continue reading "Compartmentalizing Genesis"
For some, belief comes easy. Others however – much like who I was at the start of my walk with God – require a booster of tangible evidence to jump start their walk down the path of righteousness. For those who lie somewhere in between, comfort can be found in the clear declaration of design seen across our universe.
As human beings, we go through life with a desire – a yearning even – for something tangible, something solid upon which to anchor our positions, and worldviews are born from this search…
Do you have a defense for your faith? Could you give a reason for your belief to those who don't share it, indeed those who may be viciously opposed to it? Now, whether you possess such a defense or remain unprepared to offer an explanation for your faith, one more consideration remains…
Now, as with so much else, it has become fashionable over the years to reject the Christian faith. While some reject it wholesale – dismissing the belief system as nothing more than a useless emotion-fueled vestige of yesteryear – others however take a more measured stance concerning it, and in many cases, do more damage than those who simply abandon religion.
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." Just as God did so then, blowing the dark away with warm, revealing illumination, so too was what He did in me several years ago now.
To be clear, I'm certain that most educators do not possess sinister ambitions in regard to their pupils, nor do they have much choice in what they teach or how they teach it. That duty tends to lie in the hands of those above them, controlled by various boards and councils and governmental bodies.

Last summer (2012), I participated in a roundtable discussion with Therese Grisham and Julia Leyda on the subject of "Post-Cinematic Affect: Post-Continuity, the Irrational Camera, Thoughts on 3D." Drawing on Steven Shaviro's book Post-Cinematic Affect, and looking at films such as District 9, Melancholia, and Hugo, the roundtable appeared in the multilingual online journal La Furia Umana (issue 14, 2012). For some reason, the LFU site has been down for a few weeks, and I have no information about whether or when it will be back up. Accordingly, I wanted to point out for anyone who is interested that you can still find a copy of the roundtable discussion here (as a PDF on my academia page). Enjoy!

Required Reading: Shaviro on Melancholia
I'm not teaching any courses right now, but if I were then Steven Shaviro's "MELANCHOLIA, or the Romantic Anti-Sublime" would definitely be required reading! This is an important essay, and the new open-access journal in which it appears, Sequence: Serial Studies in Media, Film, and Music, is sure to establish itself as an important site of media research. Founded and co-edited by Catherine Grant (of Film Studies for Free fame), the peer-reviewed journal responds to the medial specificities of its digital environment in an innovative — but nevertheless quite "natural" — way: by structuring itself in terms of seriality. From the "About" page:
SEQUENCE will use its position outside of established academic publishing frameworks to work adaptively and responsively, using a sequential edited-collection format – its publication schedule set by its authors and readers, and their research and concerns. In other words, it will make an open-access virtue of its own low-fi, D.I.Y., modular blog format. It can only do this meaningfully, of course, because of the generous labour and research expertise of its authors, and of the editorial and advisory boards of its publisherREFRAME.
Each new scholarly SEQUENCE will begin with the publication of one valuable contribution to research in the fields of media, film or music – on a particular theme named in the issue title. But the editors of each individual SEQUENCE won't necessarily know what the next in their series will be, or when exactly it will come. Each SEQUENCE could, theoretically, turn out to be 'infinite', or only as long as the first, self-contained contribution – a hopefully interesting and worthy, if possibly melancholic, kind of monograph.
In any case, each contribution to a SEQUENCE, and each evolving SEQUENCE as a whole, will go on to be published in a variety of electronic viewing and reading formats, with the web version only the first in a series of digital iterations.
Instead of regularity, we aim above all for spreadability and engagement. Readers will find out about new SEQUENCES, and new contributions and updates to existing SEQUENCES through the paraphernalia and pullulations of contemporary online serial publication: primarily, the project's blog, its RSS feeds, and its Twitter and Facebook pages, and, hopefully, sharings on from those.
In this spirit, check out Shaviro's excellent article, share it, and spread the word about this important new venue for online, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarship!

KPTV FOX Channel 12: Landscaping company helps Beaverton family that fell victim to crime
By KPTV Staff
When a Beaverton family fell victim to a crime, they were left wondering how they could afford to stay warm during the cold winter months. That is until a landscape company stepped in to help.
Beaverton police told FOX 12 they can't say specifically what happened that put the family in a tough spot, only that it's a very sensitive case. But whatever happened left the family unable to heat their home.
The Victim Services Division reached out to Beaverton police to find a company that could help out in any way they could, and that's when Baseline Landscapes stepped up.
Rick Hodges, the owner of the company, donated two cords of wood, worth about $400.
Hodges' son, along with a crew, delivered the wood to the family and helped stack it on the side of their house.
Hodges says he is a man of faith so when he heard he could make a difference, he knew he needed to act.
"We just want to be available. God has blessed us so much that we just feel like giving back. It's just when those doors or opportunities are available to us, we want to make sure we follow up and do the right thing," said Hodges.
He added that the donation couldn't have come at a better time, because temperatures dipped into the 30s at night during the week in question.
This was just one case where a donation changed a family's life, but there are many more that could use help.
Anyone who has something they know can make a difference should reach out to law enforcement and they will point them in the right direction.

My monthly cycle can often catapult me back into a full on flare and at the least i see a deterioration in my symptoms at this time of my cycle
What is the relationship between IBD and hormones? How do the two impact each other?
I have been alternating visits with my GI doc and gynecologist for over a year. We are still having trouble pin pointing if IBD, IBS, or hormones are causing my symptoms. My feeling is that it is all three, and they are causually linked.
What is the role of stress and the stress response in autoimmunity?
Anyone with a disease can tell you that high stress environments make symptoms worse and relaxation techniques often help. It has also been shown, primarily in animal studies, that "stress hormones" like cortisol or changes at in epigenes have severe repercussions across the body. Can managing these help control symptoms or remission?
What is the effect of hormones, particularly increased estrogen, on Crohn's disease.
The common statement is that 1/3 of Crohn's patients feel better or go into remission during pregnancy. Why? Is there a way to be able to replicate the "pregnancy effect" when patients are not pregnant.
Can intermittent fasting improve outcome for IBD patients?
Intermittent fasting is an ancient and safe practice. Many studies have shown the health benefits of fasting for people with obesity and diabetes. Fasting helps stimulate human growth hormone. Could fasting improve the outcome of IBD patients?
Is there a relationship between maternal, fetal, or early childhood infection and the development of IBD later in life?
My mother contracted shingles when she was pregnant with me. I believe my Crohn's could potentially be related to prenatal immune stress caused by my mother's infection. Mothers and fetuses share hormones, immune cells and other factors that could impact the development of the immune system in the fetus. A potential mechanism for this could involve epigenetic changes in the expression of genes related to immunity.
Are children more likely to develop IBD if they are conceived through IVF?
This question is relevant to me because I was conceived through IVF, and my mom wonders if that may have something to do with my diagnosis of Crohn's. Her reasoning is that mothers who choose IVF have to take very high doses of hormones, so she wonders if that may have negative effects on the mother that can affect the baby's health. I think this is an important question because it could affect how mothers choose to have children, especially if IBD runs in their family. It may also be helpful for children conceived through IVF to know their risks, so they can be aware of it and be followed more closely by their PCP, especially if they have GI troubles.
Do hormones affect IBD flares?
Many women seem to experience more GI symptoms during their period. Perhaps the onset of IBD is linked to a hormonal imbalance which manifests by attacking the gut.
Is IBD/flaring commonly associated with gynecologic manifestations, such as lichen sclerosus or localized inflammation at the labia/vaginal vault?
There's a lot of information available about some specific extra-intestinal manifestations, but not in this area. More than 50% of the IBD Partners participants are female, and studies already document a correlation between hormones and flaring.

Today we would like to start raising awareness about a huge change we'll be introducing to the company from 1st October 2019. It's a big one for us and is the kind of company change that some would say is bordering on stupid.
As of the 1st of October 2019 Shine Bright Media Ltd will no longer be taking any new clients from outside of the Fylde coast. Yes that's right, we're going to be cutting off about 95% of our current geographical demographic to completely commit the entirety of our efforts locally.
it is a gutsy move but one we are confident will pay off for both ourselves and our clients.
By keeping the range of our geographical service area to a minimum we are able to ensure the quality of our web services remains rock solid. As any of our clients will tell you, at Shine Bright Media, customer service is our main priority at all times.
This was one of the primary driving forces in creating the company in the 1st place. Almost every client of ours prior to – and since – Shine Bright Media was incorporated came to us with negative experience in one way or another. Most of it completely unnecessary. And what's lacking that causes so many issues? Transparency!
Web designers, Internet marketers and, let's face it, lots of people in IT tend to speak in riddles to the average layman.
We know that our client cannot guess that a "search engine optimization package" isn't included with a website build. We know that some clients don't even know that search engine optimization exists in the first place. We know our clients don't know how long it takes to make a website start generating income. We know our clients don't know how big the climb is going to be to beat XYZ competitor. Why would they? And the fact is, if a designer or marketer isnt explaining all of this in close detail BEFORE accepting a penny off any client they are doing a disservice.
More than any of those things, we know our clients just want to know they are being looked after. Our clients just want transparency. Is the SEO having any effect? Are people visiting the site from Facebook? Is a business earning a profit from it's online properties. Is there monthly margin of growth?
These are things that every client wants and every client gets with Shine Bright Media Ltd. Plain and simple reports of work done and the effect it has in achieving xyz goals.
We are your right hand man at the end of the phone. Complete transparency. No outsourcing. The person you speak to on the phone is the person doing the work. Full accountability. Just all round outstanding customer service.
This is why we are making the move to only supply our web services to companies based in Blackpool & The Fylde Coast. We simply take customer care so seriously we have to be physically close to provide it properly! 😀
There will be plenty more information on this over the next month and as we head towards October. If you are an existing customer from outside of the Fylde Coast, please don't worry. Nothing changes at all for anything we have already set up. We want all clients to stay with as long as possible. We're simply making this move for new clients moving forward.
Thanks for reading!

3 tips and tricks for how to best layout your screen printing shop for optimal results.
Since Lawson Screen & Digital Products opened its doors in 1949, we have been helping people succeed with starting their screen printing business. The great thing about screen printing is that there are few "hard" rules. Everyone can be successful in a various ways. This allows for a lot of creativity and flexibility for setting up your business. One popular question those new to screen printing ask is how to set up your production floor, or the area you will printing. The following 3 tips and tricks for how to layout your screen printing shop apply whether you have a dedicated space or are printing out of your garage or home.
1. Place Your T-Shirt Press in a Central Location With Room to Walk Around
When printing, you are going to need access to your plastisol inks and on-press chemicals. Having your manual or automatic printing press in a central location helps you print more efficiently. Being in a central location means you can quickly access everything you might need to complete your screen print job.
Also Make sure you have plenty of room to move around your t-shirt press. People often will set up their press and have to squeeze by it, or are constantly bumping against it. While this may seem fine or something you can tolerate in the beginning, it quickly gets annoying. Not being able to easily move around ends up slowing your production and causes unnecessary aggravation.
2. Keep Your Conveyor Dryer Close to Your Printing Machine
In an ideal shop set up, you'll be able to print the last color on your silk screen printing machine and pivot in place to drop your shirt on the conveyor dryer belt. A layout like this may not be possible given your space restrictions, but try to minimize the amount of steps you take. You want to minimize the amount of space between your press and t-shirt dryer. Get the shortest possible walk to put your garment on the dryer tunnel's conveyor belt. The more distance you cover between your printing press and dryer increases the chances of something happening to your print. The last thing you want is to accidentally have a part of your shirt touch the wet screen printing ink and uncured print.
3. Keep Your Power Source and Outlets In Mind
Most screen printing dryers require 220/230 volts.Screen printing flash units can either be 120 or 220. An all electric automatic printing press and air compressor typically requires 220 volts. Keep the locations of your power sources in mind when laying out your shop's screen printing machines. You might need to get extension cords to power the various pieces. If so, make sure to get the proper gauge (thickness) of extension cord. The higher the amount of amps, the thicker the cord should be.
Following this basic screen printing shop layout guide will help you with the basics of getting started with your screen printing business.

|We determine the long-term slip rate of the southern San Andreas Fault in the southeastern Indio Hills using 10Be and 26Al isotopes to date an offset alluvial fan surface. Field mapping complemented with topographic data, air photos and satellite images allows precise determination of piercing points across the fault zone that are used to measure an offset of 565 ± 80 m. A total of 26 quartz-rich cobbles from three different fan surfaces were collected and dated. The tight cluster of nuclide concentrations from 19 samples out of 20 from the offset fan surface implies a simple exposure history, negligible prior exposure and erosion, and yields an age of 35.5 ± 2.5 ka. The long-term slip rate of the San Andreas Fault south of Biskra Palms is thus 15.9 ± 3.4 mm/yr. This rate is about 10 mm/yr slower than geological (0–14 ka) and short-term geodetic estimates for this part of the San Andreas Fault, implying changes in slip rate or in faulting behavior. This result puts new constraints on the slip rate of the San Jacinto and on the Eastern California Shear Zone for the last 35 kyr. Our study shows that more sites along the major faults of southern California need to be targeted to better constrain the slip rates over different timescales.

If a child has a speech, language or communication difficulty they may struggle in nursery or school. There is a wide body of evidence to support the importance of these difficulties being identified as early as possible so that the right support is put in place to ensure these children reach their full potential using speech and language therapy.
"One in ten children in the UK, two or three in every classroom have communication difficulties that require specialist help." (ICAN 2012).
Kirsty Rarity, Founder of Chatterboxes Speech and Language Therapy (SLT), provides an independent client-centered service for children with speech, language and communication difficulties.
After working with NHS Grampian in Elgin, Kirsty has returned home to Dunoon and set up an independent practice here. Her aim is to grow from working with local families to working inclusively with parent groups, organisations, nurseries and with local schools as part of the Scottish Attainments Challenge.
Packages of support are tailored to an individual client or organisation's requirements. This can take the form of one to one support, group work, informal training and coaching for both parents and child-care workers.
Every Speech and Language Therapist in the UK requires to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, who have an online register that you can check.

Seated in the sky for what felt like days, landing was a good feeling. An hour spurned waiting then convincing customs that a rogue banana wasn't in fact a threat to national security added a connection flight pressure that I was just too tired for. Coming to America, I shouldn't have but I did try to fool a sniffer dog into ignoring my lunch. Mono tasked they may be but good at it they are too. A slightly odd sandwich accompaniment conversation with a Dallas 'born and raised' Texan before a rushed for connection flight and A night in a close by airport Motel shut up for winter but bearing the scars of a summer of stop overs bore stark resemblance to what I imagined the set of a number of my favourite road movies would have looked like. Or indeed the America recorded by the photographic bibles of my hallowed new colour realists Eggleston, Shore and Misrach. That night though I slept deeply and started the following day with pancakes and syrup as I ought. I had arrived.
Arizona stunned by daylight: Sagauro cactus pricked the skyline in every direction, dust tracks and trailer homes made a manmade map overlay of this wilderness. Stars and stripes painted huge trucks rumbled under big blue skies stretching from all corners across wide empty roads headed in straight lines for days toward dusty blue-grey mountain ridges watching over them.
Veterans of Tuscson – Montana based camp operator The Cycling House and titanium masters Moots shared this owners' camp at the foot of Mount Lemmon. Twenty one miles of steady, well surfaced, cactus, forest, rock, vista lined curves and switchbacks that despite their hardship, beguiled us with rewards of views so filmic it left empty speech bubbles to be filled in later. Picturesque did not do it justice, this was unreal. Looking out across the spread out grid of this cactus city sleeping between mountain ranges on all sides gave a humbling sense of perspective like being in the presence of mountains so often can but there was something more here. It's seemed hard to put my finger on exactly what though. Different to the alps and pyrenees and dolomites this was like your local hills photocopied on 400 percent then plonked onto a John Ford film set. No, actually that was it. Familiar and yet otherworldly this was like a John Ford film set because it probably actually was one once.
Waiting atop a mountain with a long lens for cyclists is now a familiar task. To have met friends of friends just riding past 7000 miles from home was a new one on me though. Familiarity provided by who knows whom, connections made through a mutual interest, but kindness felt discovering later these strangers had stopped to make sure I was ok as sitting on a mountain ledge staring into the distance holding a bag of lenses looked from the outside like someone poised, contemplating their immediate future from a launch pad. Invitations were made and business cards swapped then Colnagos descended and these angels were gone as smoothly as they had appeared.
I waited. Voices drifted up from switchbacks below and the shutter count was increased, I sat back down amongst the long shadows of the basked desert winter sun. It was a slow business capturing a spread out group taking on a mountain. The terrain changed with altitude, the cactus stopping abruptly – too cold for them just one floor up. Pines, grasses and sage aromas accompanied us. Views above emerged round corners of huge rocks sitting balanced precariously above for thousands of years…Not today. One voice addressing me breaks my focus perched up on the rock face above a corner. Jeff our resident park ranger cycle tourist piped up… "watch out for the wildlife on those rocks Gus, there'll be rattlesnakes in those cracks." As if needed it was another reality check that this film set was another world, a million miles away from leafy southern England and enough for me to question the importance of that particular photograph anyway.
Riding past and up. Viewpoints stopped us in our tracks, each better than the last but likely not as good as the next. Gamble on one. Twist, twist, stick? Decided to hold out for a better one. Curves straightened out and flattened, the best view yet for a group reunited and a mission completed. Onward to 45minutes of downtime…
There would be more of this: Kitt Peak, Gates Pass, Madera Canyon. That was for other days though. At the time, in the here and now, chef Steph's whole food lunch was yearned for by a dozen tired bodies. Sweet potatoes, squash, a goat's cheese and grape salad were welcomed. Warmed, roasted pecans, sweetened by honey, a surprise delight. Spiced brown rice or homemade bread to accompany it was a feast for the famished already uploading to Strava. Guzzled fast but appreciated, simplicity and nutrition were in balance here. Task done, but the chores continued behind the scenes.
Brainchild of Owen Gue, this house of cycling did what it was supposed to for escaped roadie souls hedged in by Montana winters. More than a decade later it had gained helpers that came for a season and stayed for life following this gentle, talented, pied piper rouleur. Punters too – repeat custom always being the indicator. A campfire feeling warmed the living space with saddle talk while the staff exited stage left to fill dishwashers and hang out bib shorts unnoticed while these titanium strangers chewed the fat.
All too quickly this week of new hills and friends was in the past, memory reviving the big moments and in time with space and quiet, reflection would recall the smaller, more intricate and special ones to accompany a smile.
As the final evening after a hard last ride unveiled a feast of homemade Mexican delights, reds and greens and orange and black, wrapped, stuffed and smushed together to make a long, loud, happy table go back for seconds. It crept over faces that these excited new smiles wouldn't be coming home with them the following day. Home is where the hearts are after this night, but right there, right then, a tribe was brought together as long as the candles would burn into the night, probably already wondering about next year and the possibility of getting this band back together once more.

If you're new to the business of using an escort service you may be a little concerned about asking your escort for certain things. But don't worry; our escort girls generally have an open mind when it comes to requests from clients. No matter what you're about to ask they've probably heard it before. But just to put your mind at rest, here are some of the most common requests our escorts receive.
Specifying clothing is probably the most common client request. Depending on their tastes, clients will ask their escort to wear items such as leather, latex, stockings, heels and suspender belts. On the flip side, some clients may ask their escort to dress as inconspicuously as possible, especially if she's visiting him at his home. Escorts are usually very accommodating when asked for such requests and often already have a wardrobe of suitable attire.
Many clients have a long held fantasy involving a specific role play scenario. Although clients often don't share their fantasy in the initial meeting, as the relationship develops they may feel comfortable enough to share their desires. Just remember, most experienced escorts will have heard all kinds of personal confessions. Assuming that role play is within the escort's services and as long as it falls within the limits of what they are prepared to do, role play can add a very interesting dynamic to your meetings. So don't be shy.
Although our escort agency does offer a very special limousine service, many clients prefer their escort to turn up alone. They don't like the idea of meeting with an escort who arrives with a driver who then hangs around and waits until they've finished. This is particularly true if she's visiting the client's home. Escorts are aware of this, so if this is something that you are concerned about, just make your concerns known.

Our family devours books almost as much as the various decadent forms of chocolate! So, Tuesday is the day for the review! Hence the name, "The Tuesday Review..." Every Tuesday you can expect some new book and perhaps even a DVD or product once in awhile. I will let you know my ideas about it, honestly, and share if my family has enjoyed it or anyone else that I know of.
Today the review is for a favorite of ours, "Oxford Astronomy Encyclopedia", edited by Sir Patrick Moore. You have nearly everything astronomy from A-Z including Argyre Planitia, Kreutz Sungrazer, Zap Crater, Porrima, Geodesic, and Speckle Interferometry.
After watching Hubble IMAX twice with Grandpa, we have gotten quite a bit of use out of this book. We also just enjoy sitting down as a family and reading about something new from time to time while trying to spell the really hard words without looking.
The boys get the most use out of this book for information they need for their reports and research papers in addition to our other reference books and their textbooks. I just love having as many resource books available as possible around the house and the,"Oxford Astronomy Encyclopedia," is definitely one that gets quite a bit of wear.
The photos, graphs, drawings and charts are all quite clear and you can easily get the point of what is being explained. All in all, I give this book five beautiful stars as a much needed reference book, especially if your family just loves to learn!
