About Us
Flat Wavefronts was founded in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2010 by Marcos van Dam to provide world class consulting services in adaptive optics and related disciplines. We prefer to work from our office, but can travel to your site when necessary.
Marcos has been involved in and passionate about adaptive optics since 1999. His PhD research comprised of theoretical studies in wavefront sensing at the University of Canterbury. This led to a Center for Adaptive Optics funded post-doctoral position at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he characterized and improved the performance of the adaptive optics systems at the WM Keck Observatory. During this time, Marcos was also involved with adaptive optics at the Lick Observatory and the University of Indiana School of Optometry, as well as teaching the University of Hawaii at Hilo's Observational Astrophysics course. A full time position at Keck Observatory followed, during which the Laser Guide Star facility was commissioned and an upgrade of the wavefront sensors and wavefront controllers was undertaken. In addition, Marcos taught a number of courses at the Center for Adaptive Optics Summer Schools.
Following his return to New Zealand, Marcos was asked to work on many adaptive optics projects, which led to the establishment of Flat Wavefronts. Since then, Flat Wavefronts has been involved in numerous design studies on the many aspects of the Giant Magellan Telescope, including the ground layer adaptive optics system, the natural guide star system, the laser tomography adaptive optics system and the telescope phasing sensors. Marcos has continued to work to push the performance limits of the Keck Observatory adaptive optics systems, with efforts on performance optimization, commissioning the Keck I laser guide star adaptive optics facility, understanding the image quality delivered by the AO system and lately converting the infrared tip-tilt sensor into a facility class instrument. In 2013, Marcos spent the year in Chile improving the scientific productivity of GeMS, the world's first multi-conjugate adaptive optics system at Gemini Observatory, and continues to be involved in this effort. He also loves working on small projects, such writing software to compute the wavefront reconstructor for the PALM-3000 instrument, feasibility studies for Robo-AO upgrades on Mauna Kea, and simulating the expected performance of the Swedish Solar Telescope before the deformable mirrors were upgraded.
Marcos has published numerous journal articles on adaptive optics, acted as referee for six different journals, been on the organizing committee for SPIE and OSA conferences and reviewed a number of astronomical instruments.

Land Between The Lakes Bison Auction Set
Golden Pond, KY – Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area has scheduled their annual Bison Auction for Saturday, January 29th, 2011.
The Forest Service manages two herds of American Bison at LBL. Due to annual reproduction, there is a need to remove surplus bison from each herd. Thinning of the herd is necessary to sustain optimal habitat conditions and animal health.
The bison auction will occur at two locations. Bison at the Elk & Bison Prairie (EBP) will be auctioned at the EBP Corral, beginning at 9:00am CST.Bison at the South Bison Range (SBR) will be auctioned at the SBR Corral after the EBP auction is concluded. If weather prohibits an outdoor auction, the auction will be held at the Administrative Office, located near Highway 68/80 and The Trace, one-half mile south of the EBP. Participants are responsible for their own transportation between the two sites. Bid packages and viewing will be available the morning of the auction.
Approximately 30 bison will be sold at this year's auction. An approximate list of animals includes: 1 adult cow (born 2002), 6 yearling heifers (born 2009), 4 bulls (born 2008), 4 yearling bulls (born 2009), and a mix of 15 bull and heifer calves (born 2010).
Bison must be paid for in full on the day of the auction. All animals will be tested for TB and Brucellosis, and certified by a licensed veterinarian. Buyers have the option of vaccinating bison prior to loading by an on-site veterinarian for the following: Leptospirosis, Blackleg, Pinkeye, respiratory viruses, and worms. The buyer will be required to pay the cost of these vaccinations. Specific details on the age, sex, and weight of all animals to be sold may be obtained after January 25th, 2011, by calling 270-924-2065. A final list of sale animals will also be provided at time of sale that will include age, sex, and weight for each respective bison.
All buyers are required to load bison on the day of the auction. The Forest Service will assist the buyer in loading their bison, but once bison step off the loading chute and into the buyer's trailer, they become the property of the buyer and the Forest Service assumes no further responsibility for the animals. For additional information regarding the bison auction, please contact Curtis Fowler at 270-924-2061.

Hrimati Mataji: It is with a heavy heart to give the news that our dear godbrother Ravanari Das has left his body March 1, 2018, in Ottawa, Canada. He died of natural causes in a hospital.
Ravanari has lived in Mayapur, senior Brahmachari Ashram for several years. Born in Palestine, he was Srila Prabhupada's first Muslim disciple. He joined the movement 1974 in Germany. Later on he preached to the Muslim community in the Middle East and India. He moved to Canada and, for 16 years, dedicated his life to translating Srila Prabhupada's books in his native Arabic language. Ravanari suffered several small strokes, after which he moved to Mayapur.

yadavendra das says :
In the seventies, in what was then called "West Germany", we were comrades in "Krishna Sankirtan Book Distribution combat" and based in Schloss Rettershof, literally the Court of the Savior, in Fishbach, near Koenigstein, where Srila Prabhupada lectured in 1974. This is in the Frankfurt area. We would leave the Schloss every Monday of the week in our vans loaded with Srila Prabhupada's books and return empty handed-or almost empty handed- Friday evening or Saturday morning depending on distances. For the purpose of fund raising, we sometimes sold records such as Srila Prabhupada's Krishna Meditation Album. Krishna Meditation Album was recorded at the Schloss in 1974. Srila Prabhupada comments:
"The songs which I have recorded there I have heard today on the record, and they are very nice, especially the "Prayers to the Six Goswamis.'' It has come out very successful on the whole. I hope the German people will like the Bengali tunes. What is the report of how they are selling?" 741112Let.Hansadutta
Saturday afternoon and evening, Hansuduta Prabhu would lead for several hours some of the most ecstatic kirtans ever. There were between 3 and 6 of us in each van, which represented our home for the week. Ravanari Prabhu was martially spirited, a Sankirtan team leader and an excellent book distributor himself. I shall always remember his distinctive, strong and peculiar way of chanting the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, a bit like a low tone, controlled volume, roaring of a lion. I sometimes felt a little intimidated (from medieval Latin intimidat- 'made timid') in his strong presence. Due to his substantial service contribution to Lord Caitanya Sankirtan mission, he has attained the ultimate destination. All glories to Sriman Ravanari Prabhu!

4 Decades Later, Lao Hmong who Helped the US 'fight Communism' are still Persecuted and on the Run.
BANGKOK – For 24-year-old Pa Kou Vang, home is a shared room in the heaving alleys of Bangkok where she shields herself with silence so locals don't hear her accent and call the police.
Selling fried chicken on the streets for about $4 a day, she does her best to care for and protect her 5-year-old daughter.
A Hmong immigrant from Laos, Vang learned to hide from vengeful authorities as a child, because decades ago her ancestors were armed by the US to fight against communists during the Vietnam War.
Since the war ended, the US had resettled more than 253,000 persecuted Hmong refugees like Vang, who typically sought asylum through camps set up in Thailand. Some Laotian authorities persist at seeing Hmong as conspirators for the US, harassing and tormenting them.
"The Lao government continues to view the Hmong with suspicion and in some cases outright hostility, and are inclined to believe the worst about them," Deputy Director Phil Robertson for Human Rights Watch in Bangkok wrote in an email.
Representatives of the Laotian government did not respond to GlobalPost's requests for comment.
In 2009, the Thai government stopped hosting the refugees in an effort to improve diplomatic relations with Laos. Authorities destroyed the remaining camps and deported about 4,500 Hmong, including Vang and her 1-month-old daughter.
Vang is among the thousands of forgotten Lao Hmong who have lived in this grim limbo since, either ducking attention in their homeland because of the danger there, or living in the shadows in Thailand, in fear of deportation.
When she was deported from Thailand in 2009, Vang was already an experienced migrant.
She first fled Laos around 2005, as a pre-adolescent with her adoptive mother after her father died from illness. She was arrested soon after and returned with 26 other children. Upon crossing the border, Laotian police singled her out, she said, because she shared the surname of a general who commanded the secret Hmong army in the 70s. She says she was nearly interrogated to death.
"They kept telling me I was a spy for the US, but I wasn't," said Vang in broken Thai. Crying, she recounted waking up naked in an isolated room after being starved and beaten for several days. "I was sure they were going to kill me."
After about two months of incarceration she and the other children were released. Vang had lost contact with her mom, so in fear of the Laotian police she made another dash across the Mekong River to Thailand, where she remains today, scraping by, worried her daughter will not be able to go to school.
A refugee director at the US Department of State says there are two avenues into the country for people like Vang. One is to trudge to America on her own and apply for asylum once she's there. The other would be to acquire a reference from the United Nations High Commission of Refugees (UNHCR) based in Bangkok. However, that's the same agency that Vang says has ignored her case and many others' since the 2009 deportations.
Between January of 2010 and July of 2012, the US had only granted Laotians asylum in 77 cases, a total of 268 people. The country has not taken another Laotian Hmong case since then.
"What's happened in the last couple years is that the UNHCR has not referred any cases," said US State Department Deputy Director of Refugee Admissions Kelly Gauger.
But human rights lawyers in Bangkok say cases like Vang's continue to accumulate, on top of an emerging list of Vietnamese Hmong ones, and they are all being dismissed. They claim that the UNHCR since the 2009 cutoff has enabled Thailand to be selective about who can stay in the country by denying Hmong requests while accommodating others'.
The UNHCR, however, denies those claims.
"There is no formal agreement (with the Thai government), but in recent years newly-arriving Lao Hmong have not approached UNHCR's office in Bangkok to seek asylum," spokeswoman Vivian Tan wrote in an email.
GlobalPost asked Tan about Vang's case and that of Xiong Mai Ka Yang, a mother of six whose husband was arrested in Thailand on his way to his construction job despite her family already being granted refugee status.
Both have files with UNHCR, but Tan said that UNHCR does not comment on individual cases for confidentiality reasons.
Vang and Yang, 35, were nervous to meet GlobalPost because they said other Hmong neighbors grow suspicious and worry for their safety. When people within this hidden community leave the premises, they might draw unwanted attention back to them.
Vang translated Hmong to Thai for Yang, who came with her brother to a mall because it was an unlikely place to see and worry other Hmong. Yang did not touch her mocha the entire time she spoke. But all three asked that their actual names be published in hopes of provoking movement with their cases. Yang's brother said they have family who made it to Wisconsin and Australia through UNHCR, before 2009.
"We are still hoping the UN can help us," Yang said in Hmong.
With a face stained from tears, Vang said that the visit to the mall was one of the happiest days she could remember because it was a break from hiding. She said she felt that her only option is to hope for resettlement in "any country."
"I cannot go back to Laos. They will jail me again," she said.
Hmong Hilltribes
It is not entirely clear where the Hmong originally came from. Most probably their ancestors lived in Tibet and China. The Hmong have a very strong urge to remain independent. Attempts from Chinese authorities to subjugate them and force them to integrate has led to a real Hmong diaspora.
By the end of the 19th century the first Hmong villages were established in Northern Thailand.Many Hmong fled from Laos to Thailand and were resettled in the United States after 1975.
Where do they live?
Laos, Vietnam and China have very sizable Hmong populations. Many Hmong live in the United States with large Hmong populations in Minnesota, California and Wisconsin.
The Hmong have lots of subgroups. These vary in the different countries.
The sub groups in Thailand are the Black Hmong, White Hmong and Striped Hmong.
The Black Hmong are located in Nan, Chiang Rai, Tak, Phrae, Phetchabun and Phitsanulok. They are distinguished by their costume. Their women wear their hair in a bun and wear dark blue and white pleated knee length skirts with embroidered borders. The men wear a black or dark blue jacket without collar and have wide sleeves and cuffs. Both women and men wear a lot of jewelry made of silver.
The Striped Hmong can be found in the west of Nan. They wear Black trousers with a dark jacket with embroidered collars and green, white and blue stripes on their long sleeves.
The White Hmong are to be found in Nan and Chiang Rai. Their women wear long loose dark blue trousers with plain long sleeved jackets with embroidered collar flaps and a turban. On festive occasions they wear a white skirt with stripes of embroidery down the front [ thus their name ].
The Hmong People belong to the Austro-Thai linguistic family of the Miao-Yao sub group.
The Hmong in Thailand believe in a mixture of animism and shamanism with ancestor worship. Villages have spirit shrines to protect from evil. There are village and house spirits. The Hmong bury their dead and believe each person has three souls, and that upon death, one goes to heaven, one goes to be reincarnated and the other remains in the grave with the corpse.
Culture and lifestyle
The Black Hmong are located in Nan, Chiang Rai, Tak, Phrae, northern Phetchabun and Phitsanulok. They are distinguished by their costume. Their women wear their hair in a bun and wear dark blue and white pleated knee length skirts with embroidered borders. The men wear a black or dark blue jacket without collar and have wide sleeves and cuffs. Both women and men wear alot of jewelry made of silver. If you have Comcast cable deals you may have seen documentaries on the Hmong sub groups and have seen their traditional outfits.The Striped Hmong can be found in the west of Nan.
They wear Black trousers with a dark jacket with embroidered collars and green, white and blue stripes on their long sleeves.The White Hmong are to be found in Nan and Chiang Rai. Their women wear long loose dark blue trousers with plain long sleeved jackets with embroidered collar flaps and a turban. On festive occasions they wear a white skirt with stripes of embroidery down the front.
Traditional rice growing and gardens in the hills is being replaced by emphasis on other cash crops — cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes and strawberries — which were introduced as a substitute for opium growing. Hmong are involved in several royal projects such as the Doi Inthanon Royal Project and the Huay Luek Development Centre near Chiang Dao which focus on crop substitution.

I love my job...
This kid is SO talented. I don't even know his name--- and no he didn't put it on the paper like I asked him to. Oh well-- it doesn't matter. I can't wait to see what he does next. This drawing is inspired by all the playground equipment at my school. Even though I teach in a trailer that is falling apart and smells like mildew, the kids have nice playground equipment-- as you can see in this meticulous kindergarten rendering.
Enjoy! There is nothing more precious, real or honest than children's art.

Malaysia launches $3 billion IPO with eye on poll
Malaysia launches $3 billion IPO with eye on poll KUALA LUMPUR (Global Markets) - Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak unveiled on Thursday the $3.3 billion listing of palm oil giant Felda Global, paving the way for Asia's largest initial public offering so far this year that could also lift his chances of winning a national election.
Stock Market Predictions
KUALA LUMPUR (Global Markets) - Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak unveiled on Thursday the $3.3 billion listing of palm oil giant Felda Global, paving the way for Asia's largest initial public offering so far this year that could also lift his chances of winning a national election.
The 58-year-old leader released the prospectus for the IPO of Felda Global Ventures Holdings (FGVH) at an event in the capital Kuala Lumpur that was as much political theatre as a financial announcement.
The listing is expected to raise 10.5 billion ringgit ($3.3 billion) based on the price for retail investors of 4.55 ringgit per share, giving it a market capitalization of more than 16 billion ringgit ($5.1 billion).
"The reason for the listing is to create wealth for Malaysians," Najib said in a speech. "There is no other way to create wealth in such a fast pace than listing."
The world's largest IPO this year after Facebook has already attracted a strong cast of cornerstone investors including French agribusiness giant Louis Dreyfus, Fidelity Investments and Middle Eastern sovereign fund Qatar Holding LLC.
That partly reflects strong investor interest in Southeast Asia, which has seen a burst of IPOs since the start of the year despite the protracted euro zone debt crisis, the debacle over Facebook's market debut and shaky IPO markets elsewhere in Asia.
The strong support from cornerstones, which are taking up about two-thirds of the IPO shares, and from Malaysian states in which the plantations are located, means the deal is unlikely to suffer the same fate as the social networking giant or the flurry of Hong Kong share sales that have been shelved recently.
There is also significant political capital invested in the sale, which is set to deliver a windfall totaling more than $500 million to tens of thousands of farmers in what is likely to be an election year.
Malaysia's equity market is dominated by local investors and a large domestic pension fund system that partially insulates IPOs from global volatility.
"So far, there has not been a single major IPO being pulled in Malaysia last year and this year," said Alan Tan, fund manager for Asian equities at Lion Global Investors in Singapore. "Felda is also government-owned, so the chance of it being successfully listed is quite high."
Still, Felda's is being launched amid a slump in global stocks, increased concerns over Europe's debt troubles and worries about slower growth in China. Four major IPOs in Asia Pacific worth nearly $2.5 billion have already been pulled this week, underscoring weak demand for new listings.
London luxury jeweler Graff Diamonds is the latest company to pull its planned $1 billion Hong Kong offering, the fourth major IPO to be called off in Asia in a week as stock markets slide.
Felda Global aims to become a major new player in global commodities and plans to use the IPO proceeds to expand into Southeast Asia and Africa.
The government's Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA), the parent firm of FGVH, manages more than 880,000 hectares (2.2 million acres) of plantation. That puts it among the world's largest producers of the palm oil that is used in everyday products from soap to cooking oil and which has tripled in price in the past decade.
The listing of FGVH clubs together refineries, plantation management companies and logistics firms as Malaysia looks to build an agribusiness to rival Singapore's Wilmar International (WLIL.SI).
For the about 1 million FELDA farmers and family members, or settlers as they are known, the IPO is the latest step in a remarkable transformation over a few decades from landless poor to landholders and now shareholders in a global conglomerate.
Najib's father, former Prime Minister Abdul Razak, started FELDA in the 1950s, handing out land to Malays to fight poverty and giving them a crucial role in making Malaysia the world's second-largest palm oil producer.
The farmers hold the key to a likely electoral dividend for Najib, whose ruling coalition faces a tough battle against a resurgent opposition in a national election that the prime minister must call by next March but which is expected sooner.
About a fifth of the proceeds from selling 2.19 billion shares will be handed out to 112,635 landholders, giving them a combined windfall of $553 million or nearly $5,000 each. That is more than the annual minimum salary, adding to the economic feel-good factor that Najib and his ruling UMNO party are trying generate ahead of the polls through a series of social handouts.
Najib announced that a second of three 5,000-ringgit tranches from the IPO proceeds would be handed out to settlers' "wife or wives" on July 7.
The FELDA settlers form the bulk of the vote in 52 of Malaysia's 222 parliamentary seats, including Najib's base in Pahang state, and they are ethnic Malays - a core support group that has been drifting away from the National Front coalition.
Najib denied that electoral politics played a role in the listing.
"The rumor that the Malaysian government is manipulating the settlers with the IPO is not true at all," he said in his speech.
FGVH started offering its IPO shares to indigenous "Bumiputras" at an indicative price of 4.65 ringgit per share.
Bumiputra, meaning "sons of the soil" in the Malay language, refers to the majority ethnic Malays and other indigenous people who benefit from the decades-old affirmative action policy that favors them in housing, education and business.
Analysts have said Felda Global's aging palm oil trees, which need replanting, could be a drag on its future earnings and profitability. About 53 percent of the company's 323,587 ha of plantations estates in Malaysia are more than 21 years old, according to its draft prospectus filed on April 27.
In contrast, close to 72 percent of Indonesian plantation firm Bumitama Agri Ltd's (BUMI.SI) 119,162 ha of planted area are made up of immature and young trees. ($1 = 3.1630 Malaysian ringgits)

Mick, Monster and Monster Arai
Stopped off last week (Friday August 13th - unlucky for some not Mick!) en-route to VIR for the AMA Race weekend at the Competition Accessories Superstore at Rock Hill. The story behind this little detour was that during the previous evening I was preparing for our trip to VIR when I asked Mick if he would like to have a tinted visor on his Edwards Laguna Seca Arai helmet in place of the clear one currently fitted. He of course agreed.
Now it has been about 18 months since I changed a quick release ADSIS (sp) visor and I attempted to do it like our friends showed me, more than once I might add, with the 'twist and snap' technique. "It sounds bad but don't worry!!!" at Arai's race track stand is my vivid recollection of the demo.
Well I did the 'twist and snap' technique, which was accompanied by the pre-warned 'crack' sound but that was not the 'crack' type of sound I remembered. Yes, my fears were true, the visor came off as did the left hand side visor mechanism cover. I picked it up and noticed that the little uppermost tang on the side plate was bust!!!! Damn it.
So my recovery plan was put into action.
1. Get old Mick Doohan Replica Arai out of garage.
2. Fumigate said helmet as it has at least 4 years of spiders living in it.
3. Remove side cover, clean and attach to Edwards replica - will look like shit but will allow required tinted visor to be fitted for pending trip.
So that was the plan - wrong. Despite the fact that the side cover plates both looked identical, color differentials accepted, they were not!
After 10 minutes of the 'pointless' let me try it this way, that way, the other way, it must fit, I gave up - screw this. Recovery Plan 2 was required.
1. Dump Edwards Replica
2. Replace side cover plate removed during Recovery Plan 1, complete with tinted visor, back on to Mick Doohan Replica circa 1999.
3. Fumigate said helmet 'properly this time.
4. Plan for the detour tomorrow to said store to collect new helmet of Mick's choice.
So Friday morning came and as a caring and safety aware father I passed my Edwards Valencia Replica Arai to Mick and I wore the 1999 Doohan trash can and off we went.
Two (2) hours later we are at the shop and the selection process begins - one (1) hour later, the choice is made, a tinted visor fitted - not by me please note - and off we go to arrive in VA and have a great weekend watching the racing, eating and drinking with our friends from OTT and getting sun burnt - what more is there to write?
Almost forgot, the '99 trash can was kindly removed from my possession by the good folks at Competition Accessories - worth a visit by the way and the Arai John Hopkins "Hoppy" Monster Replica was a steal!!!

One last thing. We started an old school writing project with a long-term goal of sending a postcard to every country in the world. According to Sporty (who consulted Google) there are 196 countries in the world. Unless you don't count Taiwan (not everyone does), then it's 195.
So far we've sent postcards to a number of states in the US, one to Ireland, one to Belgium, a couple to Canada and one to Perth, Down Under. If you live in Russia, China, Abu Dhabi or India, send us your address and we'll mail you some old school love.

Politically-charged speeches at SAG Awards take aim at Trump
Politics took center stage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night as award winners used the spotlight to slam President Donald Trump's halting of immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim nations.
The most blistering speech of the night came from David Harbour, one of the stars of the Netflix hit "Stranger Things." Harbour was on stage to accept best ensemble in a TV drama series.
"It's a call to arms from our fellow craftsmen and women to go deeper and through our art to battle against fear, self-centeredness and exclusivity of our predominantly narcissistic culture and through our craft to cultivate a more empathetic and understanding society by revealing intimate truths that serve as a forceful reminder to folks that, when they feel broken and afraid and tired, they are not alone."
It's a call to arms? That can sound pretty threatening if taken the wrong way by some nut case. We all know there are 1,000's of them out there. It may even fall into the same category as IT wanting to blow up the White House if misconstrued by the wrong person.
Harbour's well -rehearsed speech sounded like something that would come out of Shakespear. He may even get the hypocrites award for it.
As far as I know, we haven't seen any of THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE open the front doors of their castles and invite a few dozen of the illegal immigrants in for an indefinite stay. In my opinion, except for all but a very small percentage of the instigators, it is all lip service and a reason to get their nose in front of a camera.
REAL sympathizers don't have to beat their chests for attention; they should go out quietly, gather up a few dozen of these unfortunate people and put them up for a few years.
There is one very big fact/issue that the dissenters are missing. All of the moves that PDT is making are for the safety, security and long-range well-being for our country. They try to make this look like PDT is doing these things for his personal benefit. Absolutely WRONG.
I think it is a disgrace that THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE use these platforms to vent their political positions. These are supposed to be award shows; not execution chambers. They fall right in line with the fools on Saturday Night Live.
Do what you do best BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE and act because it is only an act!!

With the Autumn fast approaching, it is high time to start thinking about transitioning your wardrobe for the oncoming chillier months!
It is not just about buying jumpers, boots and tights in preparation for this season.
Why stop there?
You should also invest in some sunglasses in the gorgeous colours of Autumn to ensure your look is finished off perfectly.
We're talking reds, browns, golds and oranges – lovely warm colours which will keep you on trend and protect your eyes at the same time!
We have compiled our favourite pairs into this one handy article for you to have a look at.
Keep reading to find out more.
Dolce & Gabbana DG6105
These dark yellow glitter sunglasses from DG are absolutely stunning, and we can't get enough of them!
The oversized round frames are so in-vogue at the moment; teamed with the colour makes them the perfect statement pair.
Glitter particles will also shimmer in the sunlight, adding that all important glitz and glamour to your outfit.
They would look incredible teamed with a chunky knit white jumper and some black jeans.
Let the glasses take all of the attention when you wear them.
The model below looks fabulous in some round yellow sunglasses, which add a pop of colour to an otherwise simple look.
Dolce & Gabbana DG6110
Red sunglasses are the perfect way to make a bit of a statement with your outfit.
Red also suits so many different skin complexions and hair colours, making it almost a fail-safe choice!
We adore these Dolce & Gabbana retro style sunglasses.
The bold cat eye shape and thick red frames are super elegant and feminine and just scream 1950s glamour.
These sunnies would look great teamed with a Breton style navy and white striped top and a pair of jeans for a super easy yet fashionable look.
Danit below looks fabulous in some very similar red cat eye sunglasses.
We love how she has kept the rest of her look black, allowing the sunnies to really stand out.
Ray-Ban RB2132 – New Wayfarer
Tortoiseshell is a fabulous colour to choose for Autumn with its dark and light brown speckled pattern mimicking the beautiful changing colours of all the trees and their leaves.
These gorgeous Ray-Ban sunglasses are a classic wayfarer design, which is a must own shape for any discerning sunglasses wearer.
Wayfarer glasses look particularly flattering on round and oval face shapes, as the angular design balances out the curves in these face shapes.
Take a look at Alana and her daughter below rocking some tortoiseshell wayfarer sunglasses.

We were up just after 6:00am with intentions of departing just before 8:00am.
We figured that the temperature must be close to zero as the car's front windscreen was covered with ice and the windscreen washing fluid was frozen. Yes, it was cold.
We were actually ready to leave by 7:45am but it took us a little time to get the caravan off our site as to leave we needed to make a 180 degree turn in a very short distance. We ultimately had to perform a three point turn in reverse to position the caravan in the correct position to negotiate the tight turn. We hope that the explanation above makes sense but let's leave it on the basis that our 19 foot van is bigger than you think when it comes to manoeuvring it.
As we left the caravan park, we had a warning light flashing on the instrument panel. Initially we thought it had something to do with the gearbox and second gear but no, it was the outside temperature and the number (2) was flashing to warn us of possible ice. Had the humidity been higher, it probably would have snowed, if only!
We made the 200 kilometres to Erldunda in relatively cool and calm conditions cruising at 90kph. There was very little traffic around and the driving conditions were almost perfect. We refuelled at Erldunda and had a very quick lunch. Much to our surprise Police were monitoring speed past Erldunda which reduces from 1340kph to 80kph for a short distance.
The second part of the leg was with a slight headwind but it did little to increase fuel consumption to a point where we would need to worry or reduce speed to conserve fuel.
We stayed overnight at the Marla Roadhouse Caravan Park which charges $10 per head plus $10 for power. At least the toilets and showers are clean and we have excellent telephone and internet coverage. Back to Coober Pedy tomorrow.
With no television coverage that was watchable and no interest in setting up our satellite dish due to the outside temperature, we headed to bed early and watched some television we had recorded for just this reason. It was cold………

Touch of Wind! A
Tony Ross
Perce, Andy, Eddie and Well'ard have already encountered a few Ancient Greek characters in their lives, so it should come as no surprise to them when they meet Odysseus. This time, they are on a none too enthralling outward bound course in Bogmouth-on-Sylt; and halfway through orienteering is when Odysseus crops up. As with all the other adventures, chaos soon ensues with elements of Ancient Greek mythology cheerfully colliding with our heroes in a madcap hilarious sequel to the previous books in the series. The book could appeal to reluctant readers, and to anyone teaching or learning about Ancient Greece. A most enjoyable read.

BERLIN (AP): Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller says his club is happy to have signed Jamaican forward Leon Bailey on the last day of the transfer window. The 19-year-old Bailey arrived from Belgian club Genk and signed through 2022, ninth-place Leverkusen said yesterday. "This lad was also high on many other European clubs' wish list," Voeller said. "That's why we're even happier that we could see off such strong competition." Bailey is eligible for the club's Champions League campaign despite playing in the Europa League for Genk this season. "He is an extraordinarily fast and tricky player who will boost our attack," Voeller added. FEE NOT DISCLOSED Leverkusen did not disclose a transfer fee but German media reported the club was paying some US$12.8 million for the player. Bailey's transfer came in a window that saw Bundesliga clubs spending almost US$100 million. The 18 Bundesliga clubs invested more than US$96 million in new players in this transfer period, easily beating the previous record of $65 million set two years ago, news agency dpa reported. Higher revenue from TV deals means the big-spending trend is likely to continue. Bailey, who is yet to make his debut for Jamaica's Reggae Boyz, has impressed during his time with Genk, scoring 15 goals and providing 21 assists in his 77 league games for the Belgians. Bailey also tallied seven goals and three assists in his 12 European outings for the team and will be looking to make a similar mark with his new German club.

Prime Minister John Key says Labour leader Andrew Little's suggestion banks be forced to follow changes in the OCR rate would set an "unhealthy precedent" which could do more harm than good to home owners.
Mr Little said he has not ruled out changing the law to force banks to pass on cuts in the OCR to lenders if Labour was in Government.
Mr Key said that showed a lack of understanding of banking. "What he's basically saying is when the Reverse Bank puts the base rate up, he would be forcing home owners to pay a higher interest rate."
Little: Pass on rate cuts or suffer consequences
He said at the moment the banks did not always put lending rates up when the OCR lifted, especially if there was a "mortgage war" underway with banks trying to undercut each other. He said lending rates were driven by more factors than the OCR, especially international costs of borrowing.
Finance Minister Bill English said Mr Little's proposal was a bad idea.
"We've tried politicians setting interest rates before back in the 1970s and 80s and it doesn't work."
He said it was a "bit of a surprise" from the Labour Party, which had been fairly "mainstream" in its economic policy but was now opposing a major free trade agreement in the Trans-Pacific Partner and proposing setting interest rates.
He did not believe regulation was required to force the banks' hands, saying the market was competitive and some banks were passing the interest cuts on while others would come under pressure to do so.

Okay, here's my current methodology for creating WAB apps.
1. Publish ArcGIS Server service(s) to ArcGIS Server (local).
2. Create web map on ArcGIS Online that uses the service(s) from step 1.
3. Use the Web Appbuilder (dev version) to create a web app that uses the web map from step 2.
4. Download the WAB app and deploy it on my local web server.
So, up until now, this has worked fairly well for us. The problem comes when I want to restrict access to resources published in a particular web map (until now, everything I've deployed via WAB has been publicly accessible). I have tried setting the "sharing" option in ArcGIS Online for the web map to specific ArcGIS Online "groups". I can get this to work only after registering the locally-served app with ArcGIS Online and editing the config.json to include the "appId" generated after this registration process (otherwise, I get errors when attempting to login -see bug description below).
The problem I am coming across is that I am limited by the number of logins/users/seats/etc we have as an "Organization" within ArcGIS Online. So, let's say I want to be able to share my app with 50 members of my organization. Then I need to have 50 logins to my "Organization" in ArcGIS Online. I guess I don't understand why this is the case. I mean, I'm hosting the ArcGIS Server services (ie the data) locally and hosting the web app locally, so why do I need 50 logins just to be able to share my app with my colleagues? Maybe I am missing something here. Can someone please enlighten me if so?
*We are using Enterprise Logins in ArcGIS Online, so it's possible that the part where I have to register the downloaded WAB app is a result of that, as per the bug below (from ESRI):
Defect ID: BUG-000099402
Synopsis: Specifying credentials for an ArcGIS Online enterprise account to access applications created using Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) returns the following error, "The username or password you entered is incorrect."
Status: Not in Current Product Plan
Workaround: Use a built-in ArcGIS Online account when signing in to access the web application.
Public Explanation: For supporting OAuth or SAML login, the app needs to be registered and add the appid to config.json file. The guide is documented in readme.html file in the downloaded app, and the developers site: https://developers.arcgis.com/web-appbuilder/guide/xt-deploy-app.htm#LI_D74BFE27BEA64CF19D1667B5E88E646C

ordering principle
On the 01. June 2015 came into force the Mietrechtnovellierungsgesetz. In addition to the so-called "rental price brake", the ordering principle is the central point of the amendment. This includes the rule that when arranging a rented apartment or a house, the one who pays the commission, who has commissioned the broker to do so. This is usually the landlord. By the way, nothing is "new" about this novella. For decades, supply and demand have dominated the market, and in rural areas it has always been the case that the landlord pays the brokerage commission. KRAFT Immobilien sees itself - as has been the case for many years - as a neutral intermediary between landlord and tenant. We remain committed to this claim.

Being Gustav Klimt.
Posted by Alison Willmore on
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton and Tilda Swinton are all in talks to star in Charlie "Mindfuck" Kaufman's directorial debut "Synecdoche, New York." And isn't that just as quirky/charming a cast as you could hope for? Some plot:
Hoffman will play a theater director who ambitiously attempts to put on a play by creating a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse. Keener is set to play his first wife, Williams will play his second wife, Morton will appear as his sometime lover, and Swinton will portray Keener's best friend and the dubious mentor to the daughter of Hoffman and Keener's characters. [Via Hollywood Reporter.]
Distributor Outsider Pictures has picked up "Klimt," a biopic starring John Malkovich as the college dorm wall favorite, and "Adam's Apples," a black comedy from Anders Thomas Jensen, the director behind the strange, grisly and oddly good "The Green Butchers." (Via Hollywood Reporter.)
Stephen Chow's new film "A Hope," aka "Long River 7," has finished shooting and is now in post-production — the film's rumored to be one of the most expensive Chinese productions ever, but that's a tough record to hold these days. Next, he's looking into a dance-themed project for the kiddies, but details have yet to be finalized. (Via Variety.)
Paul McGuigan, late of "Lucky Number Slevin," will direct an adaptation of 80s crime show "The Equalizer." Novelists Michael Connelly and Terrill Lee Lankford will write the script. "Don't do something you won't live to regret." (Via Hollywood Reporter.)
Elsewhere in the world, Olivier Dahan's Edith Piaf biopic "La Vie en Rose" will be the opening film at Berlin (via AFP). The New York Daily News has an only slightly ghoulish piece (with images) on the late Adrienne Shelley's Sundance film "Waitress." Former Limp Bizkit Fred Durst has recently wrapped shooting of his directorial debut "The Education of Charlie Banks." His lead, Chris Marquette, has only high praise for Durst's skillz as an auteur:
Marquette credits Durst's laid-back style with helping him develop as an actor. "The best advice he gave me was like this," Marquette said. "I was like [raising his voice and jumping up and down], 'OK, Fred, how was that?' [In a calm voice, mimicking Durst] 'Very good.' His confidence was incredible." [Via MTV.]
And, if you've been keeping track of the escalating New Line/Peter Jackson feud, which is being played out in the strangest of news outlets, it goes like this:
Jackson announces, via fandom stronghold TheOneRing.net, that he won't be making "The Hobbit" because of the lawsuit he's currently involved in with New Line.
New Line head Robert Shaye tells Sci Fi Wire that New Line won't be working with Jackson while he's in charge:
"I do not want to make a movie with somebody who is suing me," Shaye—New Line's chief executive officer—said in an interview on Jan. 5 while promoting The Last Mimzy, a New Line family fantasy that marks his first time in a director's chair since 1990's Book of Love. "It will never happen during my watch."
And now Jackson responds over at Ain't It Cool and takes the higher ground: "Fundamentally, our legal action is about holding New Line to it's contractual obligations and promises. It is regrettable that Bob has chosen to make it personal."
Ugly, ugly. But also funny, in the way that only power players behind a billion-dollar movie franchise squabbling in fan forums can be.

Divorce is definitely not one of the happiest decisions one has to make in his or her life. Divorce is the sign of failure for two people who couldn't adjust with each other, and could not achieve the goal of spending their whole life together. There is a reason divorce cases and divorce mediations are highly charged affairs. The reason for it is the emotionally charged state of the spouses due to an underlying feeling of guilt, shame, and/or hatred. This sense of hatred and competition is carried into the proceedings with fights being raged over financial and asset issues.
On the contrary though, some spouses try to end their relations amicably and many succeed. Once the couples have taken a divorce and the proceedings are underway, is it wise to communicate with the ex spouse? There is no right or wrong per se in communicating with your spouse. Communication requires willingness, and if either or both the spouses want to talk with one another, they can communicate with each other without it being a taboo. Contrary to bad actually, in some cases, communication with your spouse needs to be your way forward in life.
For example, if your marriage with your ex produced children, then throughout the divorce, and even after that, it is recommended that you have a cordial and civil relationship with your ex. Divorces that involve children affect the children the hardest, and to make sure this isn't the case, the spouses need to highlight a united cordial front. The welfare of the child and their lack of mental suffering are important aspects which can only be ensured via effective parental communication between the two spouses.
All in all, communication is neither good nor a bad thing, the things discussed, the tone taken, and the perceptions that each harbors for the other are aspects that influence conversations. These are the factors that tilt communication towards being good or bad. Any relationship that has cordial relations between two people is likelier to have a better affect on the people around the couple. This is particularly important to save the well wishers of the couple from bearing the brunt of the differences between them.
Orange County divorce mediation is one of the two most commonly used ways by couples to end their relationships. While litigation pits the spouses against each other and harnesses the competition among the spouses, mediation is all about making sure the spouses sit together and end their relation amicably by reaching a mutually acceptable solution. As far as divorce mediation is concerned, the communication between the spouses is a good thing, since it ends the animosity between them and allows them to take their problems to a resolution.
Gerald A. Maggio is a trained Orange County divorce mediator who has amicably resolved cases many cases out of court, as well as an experienced divorce and family law attorney. Mr. Maggio founded California Divorce Mediators in 2012 with the belief that although "not every marriage can be saved, every family can" and a mission to save families from the financial and emotional distress associated with traditional divorce litigation. California Divorce Mediators is located in Irvine, California, and serves the Orange County area and other counties in California offering divorce mediation, child custody mediation and mediation of other family law matters.

New Fashion Line from Duluth launches during Dragon*Con 2011 | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Penny Dreadful Productions (PDP) of Duluth, GA premiers Remnant during Dragon*Con 2011 Saturday, September 3. Remnant is PDP's largest fashion collection characterized by a short vignette story line.
A social media campaign was launched to introduce the story behind the costumes while building suspense for the fashion release at the convention. Remnant is a military force living among a world of mass destruction. Remnant is a well-structured, formidable army with a complex chain of command of fierce, but fashionable soldiers and specialists dressed by PDP.
The Great War ended in smoke and ruin, and the world as we knew it exists no more. The fighting continues. Organized rebels and rogue pirates prefer chaos, but the world needs peace and stability. The world needs Remnant.
The six Remnant character prototypes totaling over 23 outfits will be featured in multiple platforms throughout Dragon*Con as well as be promoted at the Steampunk Exhibition on Sunday, September 4. PDP will host a booth next to the Walk of Fame area while costume models will be exhibiting the Remnant fashion collection.

If you're bored with the B word, we've got some bad news: Brexit really is the gift that keeps on giving. And whether you support it or not, it could well change how we all drive abroad. Sadly, that doesn't mean life is going to get any easier or involve less admin.
Whether you're taking a car abroad or planning to drive a hire car once you get to a foreign country it's likely you'll have to apply for some paperwork. Read on to find out what you'll need – if we leave the European Union/European Economic Area (EEA) without a deal.
What sort of driving licence do you need?
Currently when we drive in continental Europe, our Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) driving licence card is sufficient. Should the UK strike an exit deal with the European Union, this arrangement will continue.
If there's no deal between the UK and EU from 31 October 2019 onwards, this could change. Drivers will need an International Driving Permit (IDP) for driving in all EU countries apart from the Republic of Ireland. And not any old IDP either
What licence for which country?
Most of the popular European countries for driving in (eg: France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and Austria) are covered by what's known as the 1968 IDP. But if you're going to be driving in Spain (or Cyprus, Iceland and Malta) you'll need a 1949 IDP. Travelling to Spain through France will require two sorts of IDP.
What happens if you don't have one?
If your IDP isn't valid for the country you'll be driving in, you could be turned away at the border with the EU. And if you're caught driving in an EU country (plus non-EU countries such as Andorra, Switzerland and Serbia) without the relevant IDP, you could be fined, have your car confiscated, or be sent to court. The message is clear: get the right IDP.
How much and where from?
You can get an IDP from main post offices in the UK. They only cost £5.50 each but as they last for between one and three years depending on the type, it's another layer of aggravation you probably don't need when preparing to go away.
Do we need car country identifiers?
A country identifier on the car's number plate or as a body sticker signifies that a car has been registered in the UK. Even while we're in the EU, every car has to show some kind of GB (or other part of the UK) signage while abroad.
A lot of modern cars have registration plates with the GB sign inside the EU flag, called Euro plates. Should we leave the EU without a deal, these will no longer be valid and drivers whose cars have these will have to display GB (or similar) signage too. If you have a registration plate with just the GB symbol on but not in Euro plate format, these will still be legal.
What about insurance for driving in the EU?
An insurance green card shows that you have the minimum level of cover necessary for driving in a particular country. The (currently) 28 EU countries, along with European Economic Area countries plus Andorra, Serbia and Switzerland are part of a green-card free zone. This means you don't need an insurance green card to drive legally.
After we leave the EU, if there is no exit deal, there's still a chance there'll be an agreement letting us continue as part of the green-card free area, although this may only come into force some time later. Otherwise, every UK-registered car could be checked for proof of insurance. And drivers will need to carry a motor insurance green card when driving in EU/EEA countries.
How much and where from?
You apply to your motor insurer for a green card; some may charge for it. And as you may be contacting your insurer anyway to tell them you're travelling abroad, it might not be any added hassle. However, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has warned that insurers may charge for a European green card to cover the added administration they'll face.
What happens if you have a crash?
If we leave the EU without a deal, you really don't want to have a road traffic accident in an EU/EEA country. At the moment if this happens, we claim via a UK-based claims representative or through the UK Motor Insurers' Bureau.
From a no deal Brexit onwards, if you need to claim against a driver or insurer based in an EU/EEA country, you'll have to do so in the country where the accident took place, which may involve lots of admin in a foreign language. And if you have an accident caused by an uninsured or untraced driver, you may not receive any compensation if we leave the EU without a deal. The government says this will vary from country to country.
If you're involved in an accident in the EU/EEA before 31 October 2019, get proceedings underway before we leave the EU. It'll make life an awful lot easier.
It would also be beneficial to have a European Accident Statement in the car. In many countries this has to be signed after a crash. The advantage of having one with you is it'll be in English, not a foreign language, so you'll know what you're signing.
Do you need a visa?
From Brexit, we'll be limited to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Shengen Area. From 2021, all non-EU residents (ie us) will need to have a Shengen Visa otherwise known as a European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) to travel in Europe. It's online admin, rather like filling out an ESTA for travel in the US. The idea is to keep track of visitors to the 26 Shengen countries within Europe that have abolished border passport controls. We'll need one of these to visit the EU/EEA whether we leave the EU without a deal or not.
What if you're taking pets abroad?
Things aren't going to become any easier post Brexit. Pets will need to have a health certificate from an authorised vet every time they enter the EU. More boringly, their owners must have their pet's paperwork checked each time they enter the EU. Speak to your vet at least four months before travelling.
What about customs queues?
Whatever happens regarding the deal or no deal, queues at the borders between the UK and EU/EEA countries (ie. ports and airports) are unlikely to get any shorter.
Check your passport
Passport validity rules are changing. Your passport will have to be valid for at least six months (and in some cases up to 15 months) at the date of entry. You can check your passport here. The 15 months is because until autumn 2018, the UK Passport Office used to allow renewal up to nine months early and carried forward that period. Passports could therefore be valid for up to 10 years and nine months. The last nine months is now invalid.
European Health Insurance Card
We could lose access to the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which guaranteed reciprocal healthcare on the same terms as a resident of that country (not necessarily free). We have a replacement arrangement with Ireland and Switzerland but will need to negotiate agreements with all other countries if no deal is agreed for EU exit. EHIC is in addition to travel insurance but neither replaces the other. The loss of EHIC will make buying travel insurance and fully declaring medical conditions even more important.
