About the project
What made you go with this concept for FAIL?
Part of my work involves teaching seniors to use social media. I interviewed four different seniors and asked them the question — "What does it mean to fail?" Each person I interviewed gave a different answer, a different insight. I wanted to showcase honesty in an unvarnished way, to keep storytelling to a minimum and let the interviewees speak for themselves. The result was purity without pretense.
This piece really engaged us with its subtlety. And it becomes even sweeter when you realize that the man in the film is your father. Did you originally intend for that to be a surprise to the viewer?
Not all. It just happened. 🙂
You are one of three filmmakers who chose to create a piece featuring their father. What is it about fathers and sons and the notion of failing?
Honestly, I couldn't tell you. When I asked my dad the question, I expected to hear about some of the failures in his life and lessons he had learned from them. The answer he gave and the rationale for it were completely unexpected. My dad is an uncomplicated, kind and humble man. In many ways his outlook on life can seem somewhat simplistic, but with that comes a peacefulness that I hope to attain one day.
Anything else you'd like to add?
This project, and the experience it provided, is one of the highlights of my career.
About the FilmMaker
Graphic Designer/Instructor
In the wake of tension between law enforcement and the community, two Kansas City police officers dining at a Chili's restaurant were handed a note by a teen. Scribbled on a napkin, the note—and police efforts to locate the teen—went viral. We think it shows that failure is often accompanied by glimmers of hope.

I noticed this place - a new place in San Rafael
It's very tiny - either take out or a small number of outside cafe tables
Most of the menu is Vegan
There is some chicken in 2 out of the 12 dishes
otherwise fried plantains
It's not really my kind of food - I am not keen on beans and I would rarely eat chicken through choice
but the place looks like nice
it seemed friendly and fun
and the smells coming out of the kitchen were good
so I would have given it a try, for sure,
unfortunately I couldn't persuade my lunch companion to be that adventurous, at leat not today.
prices range from 1.50 for an avocado side,
4-5 for salads and plantains
6 for chicken
and 7.95-8.95 for larger combination plates, 1x veggie, 1 x chicken available
It has a website under construction which gives you an idea, but the menu is not the same as the one I picked up today. (there was no beef on the menu I saw)

The suspended Cleveland Police finance officer is to face a disciplinary charge over a letter he wrote to the police authority chairman.
The decision has outraged outgoing chairman Ken Walker who today labelled it "deeply wrong and deeply disturbing".
Steve Preval was suspended in the wake of the discovery in January of a #7m blackhole in police spending plans.
He later wrote to Ken Walker claiming he was being made a scapegoat.
He claimed that Chief Constable Sean Price knew in October of the blackhole in spending plans and that he misled police authority members when he claimed not to know about it until January.
Mr Price emphatically denied the claims and said it was factually incorrect. The leaking of the letter to the Evening Gazette, he said, was part of a concerted smear campaign against him.
Now disciplinary charges have been made against Mr Preval over the issue.
Details of the charge include: "It is alleged that on or about April 20 2004, you forwarded a letter to Mr Kenneth Walker, chairman of Cleveland Police Authority, dated April 20, 2004, purporting to be written under the Protection of Interest Disclosure Act 1998, the contents of which contained confidential information which you were not authorised or entitled to disclose. This amounts to gross misconduct."
A Cleveland Police spokesman told the Gazette today: "The force has taken appropriate advice and acted on that advice and it would be wholly inappropriate to comment in an ongoing internal disciplinary matter."
Cllr Walker said the gross negligence charge raised both serious issues of civil liberties and also serious questions about the fact the force apparently took the view there was information relating to the force's operation which the authority and its chairman should not be allowed to see.
"I have no doubt Mr Preval and his advisers will be considering what action to take over what is a very sinister development.
"Whatever the validity or otherwise of the representations made to me by Mr Preval, I believe he had the absolute right to approach the authority." said Cllr Walker.
He said he had seen nothing in the material which the force could argue was of such a "confidential" nature it should not be made available to the authority.
"Indeed there might well be questions as to why we had to receive it from Mr Preval rather than the force's senior management?
"The simple question which the force has to answer is - why did they want to withhold this information from the authority and why are they now seeking to punish the individual who did make it available?" said Cllr Walker.
He said he did not intend letting the matter rest until the force recognised "that this kind of bullying and secrecy is totally unacceptable".

In the past, wearing cotton shirts and shorts were sufficient as a capital to run. Now the appearance of the runners is very colorful. Various models of running clothes you can meet worn by a runner-like a fashion runway.
The choice of running clothes is diverse. For superiors, there are singlets, tank tops, short sleeves, or long arms. For male subordinates, there are options ranging from shorts with a variety of lengths, to tights. For women, all of those options are added by the skort.
In addition to shoes, running clothes are indeed a compulsory equipment for runners. When the right running shoes determine the quality of movement and performance, then the running shirt helps improve the performance. Here's what you need to know when choosing running clothes:
Prioritize Functions
Any interesting model of a shirt, function, and comfort should be a priority. Once both are filled, you can play around with style or color.
Avoid Cotton Material
This material will absorb the sweat, thus making the clothes heavier and cause blisters due to friction with the skin. You are so uncomfortable.
Select Materials that are Technical (technical fabric)
Choose materials that are technical, such as polyester and nylon, which can evaporate moisture out of the body so it dries quickly. This kind of material keeps the skin breathable and keeps you cool during running. When you are raining, its fast drying ability will prevent you from becoming cold.
Select Lightweight and Loose Material
Living in a tropical country means you will most likely run in hot weather. Choose clothes, both superiors, and subordinates, who are light and loose. Lightweight armor will make it cooler than short sleeves or tank tops. Because such models protect the skin from sun exposure. While loose clothing provides more circulation.
Made from Mesh
Some clothes have mesh panels that can cool down. Generally present in strategic areas that tend to heat faster, such as the back, armpits, or side of the body.
Running Clothes with Anti Blister
There are also clothes that constructed without seams in certain areas. This will help eliminate the possibility of abrasions in the area.
Contains UPF
UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) on clothing is like SPF (sun protection factor) on sunscreen. Clothing with UPF value is clothing that has levels of protection against exposure to sunlight. For example, UPF 30 means that if there are 30 units of ultraviolet light exposing the clothing, then only one unit will penetrate the skin. Apparel with UPF 30 that blocks 29 of 30 units of ultraviolet rays means blocking 96.7 percent. UPF 15-24 has a good level of protection with the ability to block ultraviolet light from 93.3 to 95.9 percent. UPF 25-39 is excellent with 96-97.4 percent blocking ability. Whereas UPF 40-50 is perfect with a blocking ability level of 97.5-98 + percent.
That's how somethings you should consider when choosing clothes to run. Trivial indeed but if you neglect will result in discomfort in your body.

I figured it might have been that. I went back and looked at both of the tides and they both overhealed quite a bit, though the last one more (not surprising though due to the Tranq). That could be that the other healers are healing more than they need to at that time and not letting the tide do it's job. Healing is such a synergy game I find. The longer you play together the more you learn the others playstyles and learn to trust them, though it takes time.
WoW is a wonderful thing in that regard I find, myself I use it a lot to pass the time since I have oodles of free time at the moment. Also great for when you just want to forget about the world for while. It will get less for myself over time I hope too, I'm finding some energy creeping back to do other things that I'm passionate about, which is a good thing.
It was your name, Mia, that made me curious. There isn't that info in the profile thing, I'm Swedish by the way 🙂 I hope you feel better soon!

Everyday musings ….Life as I see it…….my space, my reflections and thoughts !!
In response to Kat's twittering tale # 134, to write a tale in 280 letters or less on the given prompt.
They had celebrated their silver jubilee anniversary recently, and were an example of a perfect couple still in love.
Her recent death had left him shattered. While clearing her closet, he found a bundle of love letters.
Did he really know her, after all those years together?
Letter count 278
Welcome Radhika
My pleasure
Grandma's love letters. You won't find a treasure trove of emails, lovingly tied with an old piece of string, or a cache of text messages kept for eternity in a battered file, nor WhatsApp exchanges carefully folded in a scented drawer. I know now, grandma, the pen is always mightier than the web.

HH&H FAQs – Provider Enrollment Revalidation Initiative
<< Return to the full list of HH&H FAQ topics
Click on an item to expand or Show All / Close All
- Why did I recently receive a revalidation request letter?
Consistent with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, all existing providers and suppliers are required to revalidate their enrollment information. Normally this will occur every 5 years; however CMS reserves the right to perform off-cycle revalidations as deemed necessary.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- Do I have to pay the enrollment application fee when submitting revalidation application?
All institutional providers and suppliers that are revalidating their enrollment must pay the application fee. You may submit your fee by electronic check, debit or credit card.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- How do I pay my application fee?
To pay your application fee, go to https://pecos.cms.hhs.gov/pecos/feePaymentWelcome.do and type 'CMS' in the search box under Find Public Forms, and click the Go button.
- Click on the CMS Medicare Application Fee link
- Complete the form and submit payment as directed
- A confirmation screen will display indicating payment was successfully made
- This confirmation screen is your receipt and you should print it for your records
- CGS strongly recommends you mail this receipt along with the Certification Statement for the enrollment application
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- How long do I have to submit the revalidation application?
The revalidation due date is listed on the revalidation letter. This date will be the last day of a month. This information will also be listed on CMS' website under the revalidation list.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- What is the outcome if I fail to submit the enrollment forms?
Failure to submit the enrollment forms as requested may result in the deactivation of your Medicare billing privileges.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- I have not received a revalidation notification letter; can I submit my revalidation application to the MAC anyway?
Before submitting, please check the CMS website. If there is a "TBD", do not submit. It will be returned as unsolicited. If there is a due date, you may submit. Please note, the due date will remain, even after an application has been approved. If a subsequent application is submitted, and the revalidation has already been finalized, the subsequent application will be returned as not needed.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- Do I have to submit an authorization agreement for electronic funds transfer (EFT – CMS Form 588) with my revalidation application?
An EFT agreement is required if banking changes have occurred since the last revalidation or submission of an application. If there have been no changes, and the CMS 588 version 05/2010 or 09/2013 have already been submitted, no additional EFT information is required.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- What method should I use to submit my revalidation application?
The most efficient way to submit your revalidation information is by using Internet-based PECOS. To revalidate via the Internet-based PECOS, go to https://pecos.cms.hhs.gov on the CMS website. PECOS allows you to review information currently on file, update and submit your revalidation via the Internet. Once submitted, you must print, sign, date and mail the certification statement along with all required supporting documentation to CGS immediately.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- Can I hold updates to my Medicare information and send them after I receive the revalidation letter?
Proceed with submitting the current changes and await notification to submit the complete revalidation application.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- Will I be contacted if my application is found to be incomplete or missing information?
Yes, you will receive a letter requesting missing information via fax or email. All information is due back to CGS within 30 days or you risk losing your Medicare billing privileges.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- What supporting documentation is required to be submitted with the revalidation application?
Licenses, certifications, and registrations required by Medicare or state law; written confirmation from the IRS confirming your Tax Identification Number (TIN) with legal business name; and CMS Form 588 EFT agreement for providers not currently receiving payments electronically.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- Do provider types that enroll using the CMS Form 855A have to go through the complete state agency certification process as part of revalidation?
No. Recertification is not required.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- What address will revalidation letters be mailed to?
Revalidation letters will be mailed to the correspondence address and special payment address listed in PECOS.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- Do Outpatient Physical/Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology providers enrolling via the CMS-855-A have to pay the enrollment application fee?
Section 6401(a) of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires the Secretary to impose a fee on each "institutional provider of medical or other items or services and suppliers." CMS has defined "institutional provider" to mean any provider or supplier that submits a paper Medicare enrollment application using the CMS-855A, CMS-855B (except physician and non-physician practitioner organizations), or CMS-855S or associated Internet-based PECOS enrollment application. Outpatient Physical/Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology providers who enroll via the CMS 855-A are included as an "institutional" provider type and are required to pay the provider enrollment application fee upon initial enrollment and when asked to revalidate.
Reviewed: 9/21/2020
- Should we complete the CMS-855A as our facility looks now?
Yes. The revalidation information should be completed as a "snapshot in time." You will want to complete it as your facility appears on the day the enrollment revalidation application was completed.

While reading the recent horrific headlines, I remembered Dr. Gail Cristopher's powerful keynote during the 2016 Children & Nature Network International Conference in May. Dr. Christopher talked about nature as a healing force, particularly for people suffering from trauma. She called nature "a Balm in Gilead," a biblical reference to a perfume that doubled as medicine in ancient times.
Enslaved African Americans turned the phrase into a powerful Negro spiritual, one of the songs that fueled spiritual resistance to slavery and inspired the Civil Rights Movement. The first line of the song "There is a Balm in Gilead" is "There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole."
I experienced nature as a balm, personally, after living through Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Our home and neighborhood were destroyed; 90 of our neighbors drowned. I was teaching journalism in New Orleans at the time. I'd never cared much about environmental issues before Katrina. But when the levee collapsed and filled our house with water, nature was no longer an abstract concept. I became so depressed that I could not sit inside in front of a computer screen.
I began spending hours very week outside watching scrappy little sparrows in the ruins of the backyard. I knew nothing about birds, but the more I watched them, the better I felt. Suddenly, they had become my Balm in Gilead.
Because of this bird journey, I've been teaching environmental studies at universities for six years. I created a community-based course called "Birding to Change the World" to connect my undergraduates to the real world outside of the campus bubble, and to get them outside. I want to share that Balm of Gilead with them.
In the course, I train them to be enviro-mentors, pairing them one-on-one with a child at a local school for the semester. Every week my class and I go to the school to meet with the kids in our "Nature Club." Birds are accessible to kids in urban areas; they are our teachers. We walk a mile together to a swampy wood where we learn and play together for two hours. Many of the children are kids of color.Every week my students spend at least an hour birding in the city to prepare for their work with the children. Most of my college students are white. In their journals they write week-after-week, year-after-year of idyllic afternoons, walking with their assigned child sometimes hand-in-hand, marveling over a Bald Eagle perched along the bike path or a Great Blue Heron stalking in a marsh. In six years of teaching I cannot remember a single journal entry where that experience was infected by fear. They might be afraid of their kid breaking a bone or falling out a tree, but they are not afraid of the people we meet on our weekly walks.
My students of color experience many magical moments, too, outside with our kids. But what I've learned is that their experiences can differ radically from white students. In Madison, two students of color commented that white people stared at them and gave them "confused looks" as they walked through city parks and neighborhoods wearing binoculars. A Latina student who enjoyed birding could not shake the fear that she was invading someone's privacy when walking through white neighborhoods. A student of color this semester in Vermont (where I now teach) was relieved that she could pair up to go birding with a white student. She shared that she would be too afraid to look in bushes for birds in a white city by herself.
I am sending my students out to watch birds, yet some students of color fear that they are the ones being watched.
This spring, another student of color in Vermont wrote that he could not shake the fear that, during our weekly walk, a pickup truck would slowly approach and an angry white driver would shout racial epithets at him and hisyoung bird buddy, a child of color. It's not his imagination. During the last week of college, an Uber taxi driver shouted "Go back to Africa!" at this student in downtown Burlington. He does not want his young co-explorer to experience the world the way that he does. This UVM student is a budding ornithologist who has fallen deeply in love with birds. Where is nature as the Balm of Gilead when he fears walking down the street?
These weekly birding assignments have become a stark reminder of the racism in both states where I've taught. My students' stories also reflect a national reality. Leisure scientist Patrick West, who studied park use by different ethnic groups developed the "fear of racial hostility" hypothesis. West documented how blacks in Detroit used urban parks less than whites because of a potentially hostile environment. New York ethnographers Setha Low, Dana Taplin and Suzanne Scheld in their 2005 study of Prospect Park found that fear of racism could inhibit park use by African Americans. They interviewed a group of black boys, asking "What do you like least about the park?". One answered, "White people run away! We don't run. We're not scared of them—why they scared of us? They be like, 'Uh-oh, there come some black guys."
When 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was gunned down in Florida wearing a hoodie, I was teaching this course at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. An 11-year-old named Dakari was the star of our nature club. Dakari could identify birds without binoculars. He could scan our neighborhood marsh and predict when a turtle was going to surface. He found species #116—a Barred Owl—in a city park and showed up on my doorstep with an owl pellet to prove it. Dakari also happened to be black. As I watched the news, I began to fear what could happen to him, poking around a city park and my neighborhood in a hoodie. Black conservation biologist Drew Lanham points this out in "9 Rules for the Black Birdwatcher." Rule No. 3: "Don't bird in a hoodie. Ever."
When I started this teaching, I assumed that, for all of my students, my Balm in Gilead could become theirs. I never imagined that asking them to go birding could make some of them uncomfortable, even fearful. As a privileged white person in the US, I've never had to think about being safe outside.
Today, we turn on the TV, laptops or phones and see a war zone in our country. We are in shock watching the scenes in Dallas. But the war zone is not news for too many people for whom simply going on a routine errand can mean a death sentence—never mind going on a wilderness hike or birding in shrubby suburbs. Our environmental movement is fueled by empathy. We empathize with trees, with birds, with endangered animals and waters and mountaintops. Surely we can empathize with endangered humans, some of whom belong to this movement. Let's make police reform and rooting out white supremacy environmental issues. Join a community group to combat racism and begin the lifelong work of changing our culture.
Here are four beginning tools I use in my community and classroom:
- Dr. Christopher emphasized the importance of combatting unconscious bias. Read Harvard sociologist Mahzarin Banaji's "Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People" to understand how the attitudes we are unaware of can lead to discrimination. Implicit bias can also kill when a police officer with a gun has to make a split-second "gut" decision;
- Banaji also designed online unconscious bias tests. Take an anonymous test in a few minutes. Challenge your organization, your neighbors, your family members, your students to take the tests;
- Ta-Nehisi Coates' book "Between the World and Me" is a letter to his young black son explaining why the world is a dangerous place for him. Start a book club with this book;
- Peggy McIntosh's short "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" is another great tool for self-study. I am using it to unpack my white environmentalist knapsack.

Historical artifact collectors discuss documents, life
Bernard and Shirley Kinsey, collectors of African art and historical documents, spoke about their collection and life experiences in an event sponsored by the USC Black Alumni Association, along with USC Spectrum on Thursday at Bovard Auditorium.
The event, An Evening of Art and Legacy, helped raise funds to contribute to scholarships for USC's black students.
Bernard and Shirley Kinsey are a Los Angeles couple who have used their financial resources to contribute to philanthropy, art, history and education.
President C. L. Max Nikias spoke about the couple's collection of African art in an opening statement for the event and said the exhibit helps individuals understand the history of African Americans.
"As a powerful cultural assembly, the Kinsey Collection tells us stories through things, but it also tells us things through stories," Nikias said. "These pieces of African-Americana [track] a history of resilience over racism [and] dignity over despair."
The event was established by the USC Black Alumni Association as a fundraiser for student scholarships. Shirley Kinsey said the event will help USC attract and support future and current black students.
"With the finances you all provided tonight, [the Black Alumni Association] will be able to add to their scholarship fund, so that USC can continue to attract and maintain some of America's best and brightest black students," Kinsey said. "The students who are recruited here will contribute to making USC a better place to call home."
The couple's collection began because of their extensive world travels and their interest in the cultures of the locations they visited, Shirley Kinsey said.
"We realized when we were traveling that we were always interested in indigenous cultures, and we always wanted to bring something back from those cultures," she said. "We soon realized that we didn't know enough about our own culture, and that's when the collection started."
Bernard Kinsey said the purpose of his collection is to give back to others by inspiring others to learn about their heritage.
"You can't accept a blessing with a closed fist, and you've got to take the glove off and throw the ball back sometimes," Kinsey said. "There are people that need [help] more and who can do more with it if you give it to them."
Alicia Jewell, a freshman majoring in business administration, said the event demonstrated how people can make a difference through the collecting and embracing of art.
"It's interesting to see how a couple can influence others to care more about their heritage through their own collection of art," Jewell said. "It's also inspiring to see people who care so deeply about the students at USC who need financial assistance by using their abilities to raise funds for [the students]."

Chaminade, Cécile (1857–1944)
Chaminade, Cécile (1857–1944)
French composer and pianist, recognized as the first professional woman composer, whose work has been rediscovered in recent years, appearing on major labels. Pronunciation: SHAH-mee-nod. Born Cécile Louise Stéphanie Chaminade in Paris, France, on August 8, 1857; died in Monte Carlo, Monaco, on April 13, 1944 (some sources cite the 18th); third of six children of Hippolyte Chaminade (a manager of a British insurance firm in Paris who played the violin) and a mother who was an amateur pianist; studied in Paris with various teachers, including Benjamin Godard Félix Le Couppey, Augustin Savard, and Martin Marsick; married Louis-Mathieu Carbonel (a music publisher), on August 29, 1901.
Was composing by age seven; gave first concert ten years later (1875); much of her early life was spent concertizing; had become the first professional woman composer (1900); appeared in Great Britain, Europe and the U.S. on international concert tours (1890s–1914); was the first female composer to receive the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor (1913).
Cécile Louise Stéphanie Chaminade was born in Paris on August 8, 1857, the third of six children. The Chaminades were a prosperous family who valued music highly. Her father Hippolyte Chaminade, a manager of a British insurance firm in Paris, played the violin, while her mother, an amateur pianist whose name was never cited in biographies, gave young Cécile her first lessons on the keyboard. Life in France's Second Empire in the early 1860s was pleasant indeed. The family lived on the fashionable Rue Brochant, spending their holidays at the Château de la Farge, their villa in Périgord. In 1865, property was purchased in Le Vésinet, a village west of Paris, and many vacations were spent there.
Cécile's musical gifts revealed themselves early. She composed by the age of seven, and around that time some of her piano mazurkas appeared in print in a magazine. Georges Bizet, the famous composer of "Carmen" who was also a neighbor, noticed the little girl's musical talent when he visited the Chaminade home in August 1869. Cécile's parents took their daughter's abilities seriously. Félix Le Couppey (1811–1887), a professor at the Paris Conservatoire, was enthusiastic about her potential, advising her parents to enroll her at the Conservatoire for instruction in musical theory. Cécile's father decided against this, holding that a young woman of her social standing should not embark on a musical career. Instead, she studied piano privately with Le Couppey. Her progress was rapid and other eminent teachers were engaged to instruct her, including Augustin Savard (1841–1881), who taught counterpoint, harmony and fugue, Martin Marsick (1848–1924) who taught violin, and the noted composer Benjamin Godard (1849–1895). The family's pleasant life was interrupted by the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. The Chaminades took refuge from the siege of Paris in nearby Angoulême, avoiding the bloody Commune and the even bloodier suppression that followed Emperor Napoleon III's military debacle. Despite the lost war, there was a renascence of French musical life in the 1870s. Leading composers included César Franck, Camille Saint-Säens, Emanuel Chabrier, Henri Duparc, and Vincent D'Indy who experimented vigorously with new forms and sonorities, preparing French music for the next chapter of Gallic musical achievement, that of Debussy and Ravel.
Chaminade's first public recital was in 1875, following years of private concertizing in salons at Le Vésinet. She accompanied her violin teacher, Marsick, in a Mozart violin sonata and the performance was an unqualified success. A reviewer wrote glowingly of the "magnificent skill" of both the long-dead composer and "this child … so brilliantly and truly talented." Two years later, in 1877, she made her professional debut at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. The young musician continued to compose as well as concertize. Around this time, the composer Ambroise Thomas heard some of her compositions and declared that she should be known as a composer pure and simple, rather than by the then-pejorative designation of woman-composer. When Chaminade published her Opus 1, a piano etude, it also received favorable reviews. On April 25, 1878, at Le Vésinet, she introduced a style of performing that would henceforth mark her career. With the blessing of her distinguished teacher Le Couppey, Chaminade performed her own piano solos and songs at the keyboard. Reviews of the 15 works were highly complimentary, praising Chaminade for her "remarkable virtuosity" as a performer, as well as for her skill as a composer of piano pieces of "dense, taut workmanship [and] an astonishing mastery of harmony," works that were demonstrably of "elegant and delicate design."
Chaminade's next major recital took place in February 1880 at the Salle Erard in Paris where she performed her Piano Trio No. 1, Op. 11. Romantic in spirit and broadly Brahmsian in style, this work was published at the time of its successful premiere by the respected music firm Durand, Schoenewerk & Cie. From then on, she was much in demand as a recitalist. In many of these recitals, her own compositions occupied a major portion of the program. Chaminade's growing confidence in her own creative gifts resulted in the composition of an opéra-comique, La Sévillane. Although the premiere performance of this large-scale work took place in the intimate setting of her parents' home in 1882, critics who were present were highly enthusiastic about its dramatic and musical qualities.
In April 1881, Cécile Chaminade presented a public performance of her first full-scale symphonic work, the Suite for Orchestra, Op. 20, before the National Society of Music in Paris. Although the reviews were mixed, all agreed that the work's orchestration deserved high praise for its color and originality. The Petit Journal predicted a bright future for the young composer, but this foray into major works of orchestral and operatic music was not sustained. Most of her energies went into composing works for solo piano, pieces that she could perform in recitals. Still, ambitious compositions such as the Piano Trio No. 2, Op. 34, continued to appear.
During the early years of her musical career, Chaminade performed and composed for amusement. The daughter of wealth and privilege, her drive to succeed was personal. All this would change in the 1880s, however. Family crisis was precipitated by the marriage in 1886 of
her younger sister Henriette to the pianist and composer Moritz Moszkowski (1854–1925). The marriage was considered a scandal because Moszkowski was German and Jewish, and Cécile's father broke all ties with Henriette. At the same time, the family began to suffer from a series of poor investments made by Hippolyte Chaminade. When he died in 1887, a death perhaps precipitated by his younger daughter's marriage, his estate was divided up and the family's opulent Paris house was sold. It soon became apparent that the Chaminades could survive economically only if Cécile marketed her compositions successfully and aggressively. She focused almost exclusively on the more commercial solo piano pieces and songs, spending much less time on largescale compositions like symphonic works, operas, concertos, and chamber music. Although several major compositions were completed in the late 1880s, these smaller works would become Chaminade's musical legacy.
Around that time, Chaminade wrote the full-length ballet Callirhoë, which was originally offered to Benjamin Godard; since he was occupied with another project, he suggested that Chaminade be given the commission. The ballet premiered in Marseille in March 1888 to a cheering reception. One local reviewer claimed that the work's success was "without precedent" in that city. The canny young composer took advantage of her ballet's popularity, publishing a piano arrangement soon after its orchestral premiere. Several movements became independent compositions of immense appeal, and the Scarf Dance became particularly well-known. Throughout her career, Chaminade's work was received with raves outside Paris, while her success in the capital was always less certain.
In April 1888, her choral symphony Les Amazones, conceived as a dramatic work for large orchestra, soloists, and vast choral forces, premiered in Antwerp. Chaminade was highly praised, one critic noting that she had succeeded in avoiding too slavish a reliance on the great orchestral master of the day, namely Richard Wagner. Another major achievement of this period was her Concertstück for Piano and Orchestra, which was also successfully launched in Antwerp along with Les Amazones. This success was repeated in Paris where she appeared as a soloist with the Lamoureux Orchestra in January 1889. Concertstück was performed in a number of European countries as well as in the United States, where the distinguished conductor Theodore Thomas included it on one of his Chicago orchestral programs in December 1896.
There is no sex in art. Genius is an independent quality. The woman of the future, with her broader outlook, her greater opportunities, will go far, I believe, in creative work of every description.
—Cécile Chaminade, 1908
By the early 1890s, Chaminade's goal was to lure audiences to her recitals and then to sell large quantities of her compositions as sheet music so that she and her aging mother could enjoy financial security. During this period, she produced a number of charming piano works and over 60 songs while becoming a major star on the international touring circuit. On her first concert tour abroad to Great Britain in June 1892, she discovered foreigners were considerably more sympathetic than a sometimes fickle Parisian public. Although Chaminade never learned English, she managed to charm her audiences on many trips to the British Isles. One of her most fervent fans was Queen Victoria . On at least one occasion, Chaminade was invited to chat with Her Majesty at Windsor Castle, and one of her compositions, the song Reste, was dedicated to Princess Beatrice , the aged-sovereign's daughter. While in London during the 1897 Diamond Jubilee celebrating the 60th anniversary of Victoria's reign, Chaminade received a Jubilee Medal. At Victoria's funeral in January 1901, the ceremonies included a performance of Chaminade's Prélude for organ, Op. 78. Most London critics were as enthusiastic about Chaminade as their sovereign. London's Daily Chronicle of June 24, 1892, declared that "both as composer and executant her success was beyond question," while the same concert prompted the Daily Telegraph to characterize it "a complete success." Chaminade concertized in London in 1893, 1894–95, as well as in 1897 and 1899. She returned again in 1902, 1907–08, for concerts and to record piano rolls for the Aeolian Company in 1913–14. Her last trips to London took place in 1922 and 1924 when she was in her 60s and in declining health.
When the 20th century dawned, Cécile Chaminade was known throughout Europe and the New World. She toured France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Great Britain as well as Germany, Austria-Hungary, and less-traveled places including Rumania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and Turkey. During her 1896 tour of the Balkan region, she performed a benefit concert in Athens to raise funds for the music conservatory in that city. Throughout the 1890s, she gave "Chaminade Festivals" that customarily filled concert halls and elicited rave reviews. Her reputation in the United States was stellar as well, and by 1898 at least four Chaminade Clubs had been founded to disseminate her compositions.
For most of her life Cécile Chaminade was a single career woman, so her marriage to the music publisher Louis-Mathieu Carbonel, on August 29, 1901, was a surprise to many. Her husband, whose business was in Marseille rather than Paris, was more than 20 years her senior and had in fact long been a friend of her mother. During Chaminade's 1899 tour of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, Louis-Mathieu had taken her mother's place as her traveling companion. Announcement of their marriage plans in July 1901 greatly upset the Chaminade family, even more so when they realized this would not be a conventional marriage. Cécile married only on condition that the marriage remain a purely platonic union without sexual relations. Furthermore, each partner continued to reside in her or his former home, she in Paris and he in Marseille. Her husband visited regularly and accompanied her on her concert tours. The arrangement worked well until 1903, when her aging husband fell ill with a lung disease. Cécile spent the next few years nursing her ailing spouse, but he never fully recovered and died in early 1907. Because Chaminade was an intensely private individual who destroyed her diaries before she died, her motives for this unusual marriage are unknown. Some evidence suggests that in the summer of 1888 she fell in love with and even became engaged to a "Dr. L." Some unspecified tragedy in his family prevented the marriage, however. A number of other men fell in love with her, including her teacher Benjamin Godard, who proposed to her on three occasions. Her rejection to other suitors was always the same: "I am wedded to my music." In an interview published in the New York Herald in November 1908, she stated that marriage "must adopt itself to one's career" because it was "difficult to reconcile the domestic life with the artistic. A woman should choose one or the other."
Chaminade's career continued to blossom. Well-known in the United States and Canada, she decided a tour of North America would enhance her earnings there. The mass-circulation press, including the Century Magazine, The Etude, and The Ladies' Home Journal, all featured articles about her life. Chaminade Clubs continued to appear, distributing her music and creating an ever-growing number of fans eager to see her perform in person. In 1908, a year after her husband's death, she traveled to the New World to expand her immense popularity. Chaminade arrived in New York City on October 17, 1908, for a two-month tour of America. A lengthy interview with her appeared the next day in the New York Sun, in which she discussed her first impressions of New York, her opinions about contemporary French composition, and her marriage. In another interview published several days later in the Evening World, she was described as the "World's Greatest Woman Composer." Her first recital in Carnegie Hall on October 24 was a tremendous popular and financial success. Many in the audience were members of Chaminade Clubs and gave her a rousing reception. The sold-out recital grossed $5,000—a huge sum in 1908. Commenting in the next day's New York Times, Richard Aldrich dismissed Chaminade's playing as "dull" and her compositions "small in compass, unpretentious in idea, aiming chiefly at attractive melody and rhythmic grace and claiming immediate acceptance by those whose knowledge and taste in music are not erudite." After such negative assessments, Aldrich backed off somewhat, noting that her compositions were "agreeable" and showed some distinction. A more positive note was struck by Reginald De Koven in The World. This critic regretted that none of Chaminade's orchestral works were on the program, but he was generally pleased by her interpretations, which were those of "a real artist," and which were made effective through their "grace and delicacy … and a fluent technique." Just before Chaminade departed for Philadelphia, she granted an interview to the Washington Post in which she spoke at length of the creative abilities and opportunities for women in music.
Her Concertstück with the Philadelphia Orchestra, on November 6, elicited three quite different reviews. For the reviewer of the Evening Bulletin, the work itself was "a somewhat ambitious composition," but the performance by the composer was vitiated by her lack of pianistic power. The Philadelphia Inquirer was much more negative regarding the Concertstück as a "vague, formless, incoherent, vacillating piece of work, without any thematic backbone or logical harmonic development." In strong contrast, the Ledger hailed the work as "a composition which does not suffer by comparison with the musical handiwork of man." Furthermore, this paper's critic was certain that Chaminade played as "she composes, like a woman sentient to every influence of nature."
After Philadelphia, Chaminade toured Louisville, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, and St. Louis—receiving positive reviews, enjoying full houses. On December 3, she performed in Indianapolis and then went on to Washington, D.C., for a December 8 recital at the New National Theater. Much of Washington society turned out for the recital, including the first lady, Edith Kermit Roosevelt . The critic for the Washington Post was delighted that Chaminade performed works largely unknown to an audience familiar with many of her pieces. This critic felt her "Troisieme Valse" was musically the equal of any of the Chopin waltzes customarily performed in concerts. Another pleasant aspect of the Washington leg of her tour was a luncheon at the French embassy and a meeting with Edith and President Theodore Roosevelt at the White House.
The tour ended with a return to Philadelphia, a performance in Boston on December 12, and a final recital in New York's Carnegie Hall on December 15. On Christmas Eve, a tired but considerably richer Cécile Chaminade set sail for France. Despite some negative reviews, the tour was a success. Even a sometimes lukewarm admirer like Lawrence Gilman wrote in the November 14, 1908, issue of Harper's Weekly that since she was a "maker of adored and ingenious music, let us offer gladly the salutation that is due the skillful and self-respecting craftsman, the music-maker of true and honorable talent." Paris was forced to take note of her success, and the December 1908 issue of Paris Musical et Artistique praised her as "more than just a French woman"; indeed, she was a "Parisian woman" who created an impressive reputation "in all the countries of the world." In 1913, the French government awarded her its highest honor, Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Although a number of French women had received this award before, Cécile Chaminade was the first female composer to receive it. Showing a shrewd sense of public relations, she asked that the presentation ceremony take place at a Paris orphanage in which she had been actively involved. To assure maximum public interest, the award ceremony was filmed and shown as a news item in cinema theaters.
World War I began a declining phase in the composer's career. After 1910, she composed fewer and fewer piano works and songs. Her large-scale works were now rarely if ever performed in concert. In 1915, she moved to a seaside villa at Tamaris, near Toulon, a home purchased in 1903 by her husband. She spent the war years ministering to wounded soldiers in a convalescent home in nearby Les Sablettes. A strong mystical streak in her personality became even more pronounced during the war when millions of lives were snuffed out and some meaning had to be salvaged from the general carnage. After her mother's death in 1912, Chaminade attended séances. Following a visit to Beethoven's birthplace in Bonn, she saw a flame that, she said, allowed her to experience the soul of the great composer. Strong-willed and eccentric, she adhered to a strange diet that may well have brought on serious health problems.
The world Chaminade had known disappeared with World War I. Her delicate and charming music seemed an echo from a dead world. Refusing to adapt to the radically changed mood of the postwar era, Chaminade became increasingly reclusive and in 1925 abandoned a Paris she no longer understood, selling her family property at Le Vésinet. Living year-round in her villa near Toulon, she became a recluse. After one final work appeared in 1928, she never composed again. Advancing years and her diet may have combined to cause deteriorating health. Attended by her niece, she moved to Monte Carlo, Monaco, in 1936. Several years later, her left foot had to be amputated. Stubbornly refusing to use a wheelchair, she became a bedridden invalid. Contacts with friends and fans dwindled, causing increasing despondency. In 1939, The Etude requested readers to communicate with Chaminade on her birthday. When several thousand did so, she was grateful and summed up her feelings in a 1942 letter to a friend in the United States: "Not to be forgotten, to live in the heart and memory of those who understand you—that is the supreme consolation for an artist."
World War II isolated Chaminade even more. Although she remained physically protected in Monaco, many of her compositions were out of print after the Nazi occupiers of France liquidated her publisher, Enoch, because it was a Jewish-owned enterprise. This act brought on a serious drop in royalty income. In the last months of her life, Radio Monte Carlo broadcast a concert of her works, and the day after she died, on April 13, 1944, the station aired a memorial program that included tributes and recordings of her immensely popular song "L'Anneau d'Argent" ("The Silver Ring") and the stirring finale of the Concertstück. Despite the war, a number of French publications wrote obituaries of varying length and accuracy, and in the United States, where she had been so immensely popular a generation earlier, short accounts of her career appeared in The New York Times, the New York Herald Tribune, and Time, while warm tributes could be found in the music journals The Etude and Musical America.
For a generation after her death, Cécile Chaminade remained an obscure, slightly ridiculous figure from the vanished world of Queen Victoria. Nicolas Slonimsky's mocking remarks in his highly regarded chronicle of musical events in the 20th century accurately reflected a widely held perspective on the composer's work. Unfortunately, many of these critics had never heard Chaminade's music. By the late 1970s, this changed when gifted musicians began to make excellent recordings of her major compositions. James Galway performed her charming Concertino for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 107. In the early 1990s, two superb recordings of Chaminade piano compositions, by the British pianists Peter Jacobs and Eric Parkin, received much critical praise. New ears were more sympathetic, and salon music regained its place as a valid form of musical expression.
Cécile Chaminade had few if any rivals as a composer of salon music. An accomplished artist, she possessed impressive business abilities, shrewdly gauging her market and becoming one of the first, if not indeed, the first fully professional female composer. For several decades, she earned a substantial annual income not only from recitals but from the publication of her compositions. For example, her song "L'Anneau d'Argent" was performed in countless countries for many decades, selling an immense number of copies. The greatest singers of the day, including Clara Butt and John McCormack, made this work even more well known. Her signature piece, Pas des écharpes, Op. 37 (Scarf Dance), had sold well over five-million copies by the time of her death in 1944. Opera singers of note, including Emma Albani , added Chaminade's song "L'Eté" to their recital programs, and the Viennese violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler dazzled countless audiences with the colorful and playful Sérénade Espagnole. In recent years, stars like Joan Sutherland and Itzhak Perlman included Chaminade works in their repertoire, often presenting them as encores. Finally, Cécile Chaminade is fully acknowledged as a genuine master of her craft, a superb musician who understood her gifts and her limits, establishing a reputation that continues to grow.

Do you sometimes come home to find that your dog has made a bit of a mess in your absence? If Fido has ever torn up couch cushions, gotten into the trash, dug holes in the yard, or chewed up some of your things while he was alone, he may have separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is a very common condition among our canine friends. In this article, your local El Dorado Hills vet discusses separation anxiety in dogs.
Fido is, at heart, a pack animal. Before dogs were domesticated, they were always surrounded by their doggy families, and were rarely, if ever, left alone. Some dogs do just fine by themselves, while others can get very distressed by their owners' absence. While simple loneliness is sometimes behind separation anxiety, there are many things which can trigger its onset. A major change in environment or schedule are possible causes. Boredom, getting a new owner, or suffering the loss of a human or animal companion can also set off separation anxiety.
There are many different ways for our furry friends to display separation anxiety. Some dogs howl, bark, or whine when left alone. Others may dig, chew, or tear into trash or furniture. Fido might dig holes in the yard, urinate or defecate improperly, or even try to escape. Pacing is another symptom. Other dogs may demonstrate pica, which is a term for eating things that aren't food. Many of these things can also be symptomatic of other issues, such as health problems, so you'll want to have your vet examine your furry pal to rule out any medical conditions.
What to Do
There are several options for helping your canine buddy overcome his distress. Many dog behaviorists recommend ignoring your furry pal when you leave or return to your home, as giving Fido attention may reinforce his behavior. Making sure your pooch has sufficient toys and is getting enough exercise may also help, and are both very important to his overall well-being. Beyond that, the exact method which will work best depends on how severe your dog's anxiety is. In extreme cases, your vet may recommend medication. Consult your vet or trainer for more specific recommendations.

The increase followed a 22 percent surge the week before and pushed the refinance share of total mortgage activity up to 81 percent. But, despite the gains in refinance demand, the Market Composite Index, which measures total mortgage loan application volume, was up just 0.9 percent due to a 3.0 percent drop in the seasonally adjusted Purchase Index. The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances was unchanged, resting at 3.74 percent. It is the second consecutive week that average mortgage rates were at all-time survey lows. More here and here.

Adaptive Paddling
Our mission says it all "…to persons of all abilities…" What that really means is that we have the skills, training, and experience to take almost anyone kayaking pretty much anywhere there is water. Adaptive Paddling is all about adapting kayaks, paddles, gear, and techniques for persons with disabilities, sports injuries, preexisting conditions, and joint pain.
There are very few restrictions as to who can get in a kayak and go for a paddle but it is a water sport and there is always danger of capsize, injury, or drowning. At the very least, you must be able to close your mouth and hold your breath (seal your airway) for a minimum of thirty seconds and you must be able to turn your face up to breathe while floating in a properly fitted PFD (life jacket). There are also weight limits as to what capacity each kayak can handle and some children may be too young for our programs.
Kayak Zak's offers the only adaptive kayak program in Northwest California. We are one of the only all-inclusive outfitters on the entire west coast! Most programs either take only "disabled" persons or else only take those who can adapt themselves to the outfitter's program. In many instances one family member has a disability or medical condition and he or she has the choice of staying behind or going with a strictly adaptive group. Kayak Zak's is unique in that we will take the whole family—disabled or not!
Please let us know in advance if you have a severe disability so that we may be sure to have enough assistants, equipment, and plan the logistics. All Kayak Zak's instructors, guides, and assistants respect HIPPA law. Your personal, confidential medical information is exactly that—personal and confidential. No individual at Kayak Zak's will share this information with anyone else without your prior permission.
Which one is disabled?
Key to Picture Above
1,2—Tramautic Brain Injury (TBI)

Click here to return to Hysterectomy Procedures
What is abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salingo oophorectomy?
An abdominal hysterectomy is when the uterus and the cervix are removed through an incision in the lower abdomen. A bilateral salingo oopherectomy is the removal or both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
When is it used?
A hysterectomy may be necessary if you have on of the following conditions:
What are the risks associated with this procedure?
How do I prepare for this procedure
Follow your health care provider's instructions about not smoking before and after the procedure. Smokers heal more slowly after surgery. They are also more likely to have breathing problems during surgery. For this reason, if you are a smoker, you should quit at least 2 weeks before the procedure. It is best to quit 6 to 8 weeks before surgery. Also, your wounds will heal much better if you do not smoke after surgery.
Follow any other instructions your provider gives you. If you are to have general anesthesia, eat a light meal, such as soup or salad, the night before midnight. Do not even drink coffee, tea, or water.
What happens after the procedure?
After the procedure, you will be monitored to make sure there are no reactions and that you are doing well. You can expect to be up and walking by the following day. An abdominal hysterectomy usually requires that you stay in the hospital for one or two days and in rare cases up to four days. Vaginal bleeding and discharge is normal, so you will need to use sanitary pads. The incision will heal however there will be a visible scar on your abdomen.
It takes most women six to eight weeks to get back to their normal selves. Because of this, you should get plenty of rest, don't lift anything heavy, and follow any other restrictions your doctor gives you. You can resume sexual activity six weeks after the surgery.
When should I call Greenville OB/GYN?

Driving in The Rain Safety Rules: Wipers, Night Driving & Heavy DownpourUpdated Sept. 25, 2020
Driving in the rain can be every bit as dangerous as driving in icy or snowy conditions. Water on the road's surface can seriously impede your vehicle control, while the rain itself impacts visibility. You must understand how to manage theses challenges and drive safely during wet and rainy conditions. Every risk you face during wet and rainy weather can be diminished by reducing your speed; this should be the first action you take.
Low visibility
Like snow, rain can negatively impact your ability to see the road ahead, nearby vehicles and approaching hazards. During heavy rain you may not be able to see more than 100ft in front of your vehicle. If this is the case, you cannot safely drive more than 30mph. Keep in mind that in extremely rainy and windy conditions, you may need to pull over intermittently to clean mud and other dirt from your windshield, headlights and taillights.
To obtain maximum visibility when driving in the rain, use this guidance:
Use the right edge lines or center lineswhich are visible just ahead of your vehiclefor guidance.
Get rid of any distractions in your vehicle(for example, switch off the radio).
Turn on your lights and windscreen wipers.
Do not switch on your hazard lights,this may lead other drivers to assume your vehicle is stationary.
Keep lights on low-beam,as high-beam may reflect off the moisture in the air and create glare.
Signal turns earlierto give other drivers who are also dealing with poor visibility a chance to register your intentions.
Avoid unpaved sections of the roadway.
Keep a lookout for other vehicles that may not have lights on.
Slippery roadway and poor traction
Water pooling on the surface of the road is bad news, though not the main cause of rain-related accidents. A surprisingly small amount of rain can make for incredibly dangerous driving conditions!
If it has not rained in a while, oil and other chemicals can build-up on the surface of the road. Fresh rain then loosens these chemicals to create a slick coating on the tarmac – perfect conditions for slipping, skidding and losing control of your vehicle. You should take particular care in hot weather, as the heat will encourage more oil to collect on the surface of the asphalt.
When the road becomes slick, you must reduce your speed by 5 to 10 mph and increase your following distance to five or six seconds. If you need to stop, avoid slamming on the brakes as this could cause a skid. Instead, apply the brakes gradually and in a controlled manner, easing off if you feel the vehicle beginning to skid. Always take bends and turns more slowly when the roadway is wet.
All roads will become are slippery when rained on, though you should take particularly care when traveling on a road with a sign that says: "SLIPPERY WHEN WET." This indicates that the road is paved with a material that can be particularly hazardous during rainstorms.
When heavy rain or poor drainage causes water to pool on the road's surface, your tires can begin to glide on top of the water and lose contact with the road. This is called "hydroplaning" and is every driver's worst nightmare in wet weather. Hydroplaning can cause complete loss of traction (grip on the road's surface) and steering control. This generally occurs at high speeds, which is why slowing down during heavy rain is so important.
The risk of hydroplaning is also significant if your tires are poorly inflated or tread-worn. Good quality tires with deep tread can help to prevent hydroplaning. If you find yourself hydroplaning:
- Keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel.
- Take your foot off the gas pedal to slow down and regain traction; do not slam on the brakes or try to turn suddenly as this will make your vehicle skid.
- If you must turn, turn slowly. If you must use the brakes, brake gradually.
Driving through deep water
If you encounter standing or deep water on the roadway, the safest thing to do is leave it well alone. Pull your vehicle over and consider an alternative route to your destination or wait for the water to subside.
Never drive through an area where the water is over 30cm deep and moving swiftly. This depth may seem relatively harmless but when the current is strong, 30cm of water could easily sweep your vehicle off the road.
If you drive through rising water and your engine stalls, abandon your vehicle immediately and look for higher ground. Situations like this can quickly get out-of-hand and become life threatening.
Dealing with wet brakes
Your brakes can become wet when there is water on the road and if this happens, they will be substantially less effective. This is caused by water between the two contacting surfaces acting as a lubricant and preventing the friction build-up needed to slow your vehicle. While ineffective brakes can be very frightening when you first attempt to use them, the problem can be rectified quickly if you keep a cool head.
If your brakes are wet, you may find they pull to one side or simply do not hold at all. Fortunately, you can dry your brakes by driving slowly, maintaining a low gear and braking gently. Softly applying the brakes should spin off any water that has accumulated and return your braking ability to normal.

MISUMI Library Integration
Empowered by MISUMI Mold Ex Press, a 3D CAD library for standard components of press die and plastic mold, users can quickly select and locate the parts from more than10, 000 types of part models, reducing mold design time by 50%.
Upgraded CAM Features
5-Axis strategies capability is expanded on 5X Plane, Side and ISO cut operations. End-users now can happily generate multiple layers of tool-path in one shot, particularly 5-Axis roughing in specific cases. Also, customized frame function is supported in Flat Finish operation that further simplifies programming.
"ZW3D 2018 is a complete solution that brings your idea to design and manufacturing easier," said Joh Li, CTO of ZW3D in charge of R&D center. "We keep working on providing streamlined workflows to reduce errors and waste, which helps our customers to output products faster with higher quality and lower cost."

Hell of a lot of work? Are you mad? The best forward prospect we've had in years only now just landed on our doorstep and we lucked out as we originally thought he was a KPD.They mean compromised as in players are already aligned to clubs not that one or two clubs hold all the picks.
I think the academies are great for the Buku Khamis types who may not have been given the opportunity without the academies. I'm not sure it's a great thing with these guys that would've been top 10-15 picks (Tarryn Thomas, Isaac Quaynor) who probably would've made the system regardless. Definitely needs a tune up, not sure what it is. Doesn't seem fair that we get a prospect as good as this seemingly without doing a hell of a lot of work. But as you said, let's hope they don't change it for a couple of years.
The last truly great game changing forward we had was big bad bustling Barry Hall who kicked 80 goals for us after getting kicked out of Sydney.
Now another presents himself via the NGA and you think it hasn't been a hard graft?
Are you mad?
Get out.

Guide To Getting Your Travel Devices Ready
Are you and your folks planning to take that trip you always wanted? Are you ready to take that final step in staying safe from cyber and physical threats?
Remember to make sure that you have all the necessary material to travel because your trip needs to be as comfortable as possible. Our lives are definitely not complete without fancy gizmos and gadgets. We are a part of this age of technology.
For your ease, many 'hip' travel devices are introduced yearly around the world. The main aim of technology is to enhance the simplest of experiences hence making them more enjoyable and memorable!
Here's a list of handy tips and tricks that you need to know for your trip!
Staying safe with VPNs
You know what the right thing to do is? Get a wifi hotspot device that keeps your internet going even without a sim card.
Cybercrimes are on the rise, and once they get into your device, they can steal all your personal data and use it for their own use. So, to protect yourself from those nasty cybercrimes, get a good VPN service.
By downloading a VPN, your data remains hidden from creepy hackers on public networks. A VPN provides private access to the internet so; you must ensure you opt for the best VPN service provider! As they say, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Keeping your phone charged
Don't ever let your phone turn on you! You must keep it charged 24/7. Also, keep a portable battery charger. The Anker PowerCore 10,000 is lightweight and compact. In addition, a charging backpack could be perfect if you don't put too much stuff in it. Try the Eceen Hiking Daypack available on Amazon.
Want to know about more charging devices? You can purchase a wireless charging battery case offered by Samsung as well as Apple. Moreover, on your flight, it is better to set the brightness of your phone to low, turn off the location, and enable battery-saver mode.
Protecting devices
Make sure your electronics are a part of the fun and not agony! You must keep your devices safe at all times.
Remember to put your contact information on your lock screen and password-protect your phone. Biometric lock-in is a pretty decent option too. You could be saved from a lot of trouble by doing this.
Also, don't forget to use a privacy screen protector for your phones. Gadget Guard, Bodyguardz, and Klearlook are pretty known in the market for their screen protectors.

Keep your phone, passport, or wallets protected by using TrackR. By attaching it to the device, you can locate your device in no time.
To monitor the whereabouts of your laptop, you can use software like Prey and LoJack.These are highly effective antitheft software. Setting your desktop to lock up after a certain amount of time would be a good option. Install antivirus programs, and your software should be updated.
Your data can be kept secure by using privacy screen protectors such as those by Akamai, Kensington, and Targus. Remember to make your passwords unique and disable automatic login.
Last but not least! Buy a slash proof laptop bag with tamper-resistant zippers. You'll ask us why? Because avoiding danger should be your priority!
Luggage safety
First of all, try looking for a hard-sided suitcase. Now coming to the important part, buy a TSA padlock with a four-dial combination. Also, you can get a luggage tracker to see where your bags are.
When your luggage doesn't appear on the conveyor belt, the trace me airline approved luggage tracker tags can reunite you with your precious stuff. This one is most certainly a stress-reliever!
Music, leisure and relaxation
Did you know? A wise man once said listening to music while traveling is good for health. Get a pair of noise-canceling headphones. You'll enjoy your music on an island of peace. Plus, if you get nauseous in the air, then earphones will be a great help!
AudioFly AF160 is a neat option to consider. You could also get a wireless earbud like the Bragi dash which plays from its 4GB storage. For the all those who love to game, Nintendo 3DS is a must-have. It is guaranteed to keep you busy throughout the flight!
Fujifilm's instant camera is another fun addition to your suitcase. It's cheap and takes outstanding pictures. You may consider buying an e-book reader. An e-reader has a variety of options of books to choose from.
In case you feel nervous, we recommend you use applications such as Valk, Skyguru, Calm, and SOAR. Most of these are designed to cope with claustrophobia and anxiety. Hopefully, you'll overcome the fear of flying.
Safe travels!
