Who We Are
We are two Seniors at the University at Albany majoring in Communications. Jasmine Hutchinson is from Staten Island, NY and originally came to UAlbany to study Business. During her Sophomore year she realized that the Communications major was a better fit for her future career goals and changed her major. After graduation Jasmine hopes to become a beauty and hair entrepreneur.
Jessica Spiak is from Albany, NY and transferred to UAlbany in the fall of 2016. Jessica chose to pursue a degree in Communications because she found the major offered many things that interested her and related to her career goals. After graduation Jessica would like to pursue a career in digital and social media marketing.
Why We're Blogging
The goal of this blog is to give undeclared and future college students better insight as to what the Communications major is and what it offers. We hope to provide some guidance in helping students decide if this major is the right fit for them.
What To Expect
We'll be sharing some information about the Communication major that we're sure you'll find useful such as the types of courses offered, what to expect in this major as well as internships related to the major. We'll also be discussing the possible career outcomes that can come from being a UAlbany Communications major. Also we'll talk about some of the ways that UAlbany Communications Department could improve.

Sophomore Haley Garcia averaged 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game last week while leading the women's basketball team to its first win of the season. She netted a team-high 16 points to go with six rebounds and five assists in a victory over Lesley in Mitchell's NECC opener, shooting 7-for-14 from the field. She also had 14 points and five assists earlier in the week in a non-conference tilt with Saint Joseph.

What Happens Next?
One of the best questions you could ask yourself when making a decision is: "What happens next?"
As in, if we do this, if I go there, if I eat that, if I say yes, if we stop that, then what happens?
Don't just look at your current decision. Also consider the one you'll need to make after that.

CoMo Booster - Launch your Raspberry Pi Compute Module!
Make the Raspberry Pi Compute Module work for everyone, better than ever!
CoMo Booster - Launch your Raspberry Pi Compute Module!
Make the Raspberry Pi Compute Module work for everyone, better than ever!
About us
We are from Geekroo Technologies in Australia. We have another successful project on Kickstarter called 'Fairywren': https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kwang/mini-itx-motherboard-for-the-raspberry-pi-fairywre
What is CoMo Booster?
'CoMo' stands for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. CoMo Booster is an enhanced motherboard for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. It's essentially a same kind product as the Compute Module IO Board.
Why we made CoMo Booster?
We think the Raspberry Pi Compute Module is cool. It's small but flexible, and it's brilliant to embed it into systems and products. But as the Raspberry Pi blog said, The Compute Module is primarily designed for those who are going to create their own PCB. So that means this is not an "everyone's" Raspberry Pi.
What about the Raspberry Pi Compute Module Dev Kit? This kit includes a Compute Module IO Board. The thing is, this IO Board is just a simple breakout board, it only provides basic and necessary functionalities. Again, it helps designers get started, not suitable for a normal Raspberry Pi fan. Furthermore, the Compute Module Dev Kit is not cheap.
So we decided to make a powerful but cheap motherboard for the Compute Module so that everyone can enjoy it.
Why CoMo Booster?
So what? You could ask, why? Why do I need this CoMo Booster plus Compute Module? Why not just a normal Raspberry Pi?
We can answer this question easily:
Because the Raspberry Pi Compute Module is a new product, because it looks cool and worthwhile to give it a go!
Just like that, we guess geeks and Raspberry Pi fans should be satisfied.Actually we can also answer this question in a more sensible way: features comparison.

Why Kickstarter?
CoMo Booster is a very complicated product. It uses a double-sided four-layer PCB, and more than 240 various components. It took Herman and Wei nearly an entire week to finish the soldering for the first two prototypes. Trust me, it was a horrible job.
And then a really big trouble came out. We contacted more than 10 PCB factories in China but no one would like to manufacture CoMo Booster. The reason is simple: the product is too complicated and the quantity we want is not large. So either we simplify the CoMo Booster or we order a large quantity of them.
We cannot simplify the CoMo Booster obviously. And the so-called Large Quantity is 600 units! We can't afford it. So we come here, again, to ask for help.
The Timeline of Our Plan
Now (8 July, 2014): We are still testing the CoMo Booster prototype without the Raspberry Pi Compute Module plugged in.
Next week (After 14 July, 2014): We should be able to receive the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, start testing the prototype with it.
Before August: Finish designing the CoMo Booster PCB v0.1
1 August, 2014 - 15 August, 2014: Get CoMo Booster v0.1 ready.
16 August, 2014 - 31 August, 2014: Test and modify CoMo Booster v0.1 This version should have been fully tested with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module plugged in. Then we'll wait to see if this project can be successfully funded or not. If everything is going well, we'll move forward to work on the CoMo Booster v1.0
============== If this project is successfully funded ==============
1 September, 2014 - 15 September, 2014: Finish designing the CoMo Booster PCB v1.0
Before October, 2014: Get the factory ready to manufacture CoMo Booster v1.0
1 October, 2014 - 7 October, 2014: China National Day long holiday. The whole China will stop and go to sleep. Nothing can be done during this time.
8 October, 2014 - 15 November, 2014: Manufacturing should be in progress.
After 16 November, 2014: Start posting out CoMo Booster boards. So yes, hopefully we can start posting before December.
Our Team
Karl Wang - I'm a software programmer live in Adelaide hills, South Australia. I have two sons and a German shepherd-corgi-crossed dog named Ajax. They are all very energetic and dynamic and keep me busy. Fortunately my wife Jacqui helps me a lot so that I have time to work on this project with my friends.
Herman Liu - I'm an electronic engineer, a hardware nerd. I work for a large communication equipment company that everyone knows (I guess). I hate flying but have to do that from time to time. I love soccer and watched pretty much all the games in this World Cup (so far)! Don't worry, I still have enough energy to make the CoMo Booster better!
Wei Zhang - I think I need to say sorry to the employees in my factory. I took most of my time on the CoMo Booster project in the last two months. They could be confused and wondered if I still wanted to keep the factory running or not :D I'll take care of the manufacture process of the CoMo Booster, and make sure they are ready for you as soon as possible.
Penny Xie - I put a lot of my money into CoMo Booster project. I was bit worried and hoped my friends really knew what they were doing ;) But when I saw the prototype of the CoMo Booster, it was a big relief. It's pretty cool and you'll love it! My other job in this project is to pack the products and post them to you. I didn't think this was a hard job until the Fairywren project almost killed me.
Risks and challenges
1. We have just received the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, today (24/7/2014 Please refer to Update #1). That means we just started testing the CoMo Booster with the Compute Module plugged. We'll try to find and fix any potential issues as soon as possible.
2. For the shipping of our Fairywren project, we chose Posten (http://www.posten.se/en/Pages/home.aspx). We thought the more expensive, the more stable. Well... We don't know what to say. The Fairywren boards were all posted out by last November, but we still received some emails months after that and said that the items hadn't arrived.
This time, we'll use Hong Kong Post. We'll also offer you a chance to update your shipping method to DHL. We'll definitely try our best to help you find your lost parcel but please be aware that when the parcel has been posted out, it's out of our control.
3. All of our team members work on spare time, weekends and holidays only. We all have 'real' jobs to do, to pay the bills. We'll try our best to answer your questions as soon as possible. But, there could be some delays. Thank you for your understanding!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

I was interested to see broadcaster, writer and champion Blue Peter host wooer, Charlie Brooker, having a wee troll on Twitter regarding Star Wars. Charlie, in a mischievous attempt at entertaining himself by riling the fans of Lucas' mismanaged baby, decided to play the Stars Wars is rubbish card on the social networking site. It was a fairly transparent trolling but it got me thinking on what I feel about Star Wars – or more specifically the '"real" Star Wars, Star Wars pre-1997.
"Is Star Wars rubbish?" I asked myself. Well yes, yes it is. Despite being a fan of the original trilogy I've long accepted that it's the Dame Edna Everage-esque rose tinted spectacles I wear that make me dust off my DVDs from time to time. And it's those same spectacles that cause me to still get a lump in my throat when Ben Kenobi takes one for the team, or make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end when whiny yokel Luke turns off his targeting computer. These emotional responses occur despite me knowing that the dialogue is corny, that there's a distinct feeling that our George is making it up as he goes along and that the whole thing has the depth of your common or garden pantomime. A pantomime most likely starring Billy Pearce.
Ah, "emotional responses".
That's just it, isn't it? For a lot of people of a similar age to me Star Wars as a piece of cinema transcends critical assessment. Why? Well, it's because it is something we are emotionally bound to. It is something cherished and treasured because, like a certain smell or a particular piece of music, it evokes feelings and memories more powerfully than any clever use of mise en scène or insightful dialogue could ever achieve.
If Star Wars is the evoker of feelings and memories it is many different things to many different people. Below is what Star Wars is to me.
Star Wars is being bought my first action figure (Chewbacca) by Mum from Taylor and McKenna in Milton Keynes. That shop never seemed quite as good after it became a Beatties.
Star Wars is my Dad digging me a huge hole in the sand when we were at the seaside. He wanted to build a dam but I wanted to feed myself to the sarlacc. He probably knew then and there that I'd never be a piping engineer like him.
Star Wars is me trying to move my friend's Raleigh Bluebird using The Force. I swear it moved once, honest.
Star Wars is sitting down with my family to watch the television premieres, Dad pressing record on the top-loading JVC VHS recorder just before it started. I still remember all the adverts; "The wa'er in Majorca don' taste like wot it ough' a".
Star Wars is my Dad teaching me how to ride a bike and telling me to "use The Force, Simon" as he let go of the saddle. I then proceeded to crash into the apple trees at the bottom of the garden. Thanks Dad.
Star Wars is being told by my Dad that the actor who plays Admiral Ackbar was; "born like that". Again, thanks Dad.
Star Wars is being envious of my friend, David Moore's toy B-Wing. I wonder what David Moore is doing now? Does he still have his B-wing?
Star Wars is going to Leighton Buzzard Library Theatre to see Return of the Jedi, my first trip to the cinema. Okay, maybe calling Leighton Buzzard Library Theatre a cinema is somewhat charitable but it was still AMAZING.
Star Wars is arguing with school friends over who was going to be who at playtime. I always ended up being sodding C-3PO. Or Leia.
Star Wars is my Nan and Granddad coming to visit and bringing me the Princess Leia Boushh disguise action figure. Man, I miss my Nan and Granddad.

There's nothing quite like the presence of many happy couples to rub their single status in for the lovelorn, whatever their reason for being single.
This can be a scene with an improbable number of couples in, say, a park, or the character particularly noticing couples wherever he goes. This tends to be either a crowd of couples the same age as the character, or a vast range, from young lovers wooing, to Happily Married couples with perhaps a baby, to still affectionate elderly couples.
The couples may be Bit Characters, but often they are people from the lonely person's social circle. Contrast Beta Couple, where one happy couple is further developed and provides a contrast to the character.
Supertrope of The World Mocks Your Loss. Compare Alone in a Crowd, Alone Among Families, and Third Wheel. Contrast Lonely Together.
- In episode 114 of Gintama, Gintoki, Kagura and Shinpachi are annoyed by the number of happy couples crowding the park. Which is why they are more than happy to help Hijikata get rid of a girl madly in love with him.
- Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: During the wrap-up of the culture festival arc, Maki finds herself alone among multiple dancing couples. Her best friend Kashiwagi then shows up, opting to dance with her rather than her own boyfriend Tsubasa.
- Midori Days:
- In the first episode, Seiji vents his frustration on a theater full of couples, after striking out with a local girl, and seeing that he was the only one there without a date.
- The manga version of the same scene, takes place outdoors while Seiji's on his way to school. When he sees he's surrounded by happy couples everywhere, he vents his frustration on them AND the scenery!
- One recurring bit in Shonen Ashibe has a character with no luck in love. He decides to go on a singles cruise to Hawaii... and he gets to the dock after everyone else has already paired up. Later, he's on the beach in Hawaii, watching the happy couples alone, when the cute tour guide comes up, notices he's all alone... and introduces him to a stray dog she found.
- For a significant portion of Robin Tim's social group at school consists of himself and his girlfriend Ariana, Ives and Callie who are dating, and Hudson who isn't dating anyone.
- A Crown of Stars: Kensuke feels alone during his unit's deployment because his best friends - Shinji and Touji - have hooked up with their Love Interests - Asuka and Hikari respectively - and even the commanders that hang around with them are in a relationship... and he remains single. Often he complains and whines he needs to get himself a girlfriend and when finally several girls interested in him come along, he does not know how to handle the situation.
Kensuke looked between them with a confused look before he worked it out. His mouth dropped open when he did, and he shot a look at Shinji like he was about to say something. Shinji just gave him a dont ask look and shook his head. He closed his mouth with a snap and looked back and forth between Shinji, Touji, and Sergeant Bir. Man, I have got to find me a girlfriend, he eventually muttered.
- In the Pokémon fanfic Olivine Romance, protagonist Jasmine is made to feel this way amongst her friends. Notably, she's single by choice, but that doesn't stop her from feeling left out.
- In Hotspring Souls!, Solaire is the only one in the gang who is single and without a love interest, but is perfectly fine with it since he's more interested in hooking up The Chosen Undead and Rhea of Thorolund, anyway. This does change in the sequel, though, where Solaire ends up with Lady Maria.
- In Say Something, Tea reunites with her friends ahead of Yugi's wedding and finds they have all paired up. The story frequently highlights her feeling lonely or awkward when they start acting particularly couple-y, and this plays a big factor in her rushing into a relationship with Mokuba.
- A sidestory of Pokémon Reset Bloodlines has Yancy, while waiting for a meeting to get her Xtransceiver back, to feel self-conscious about her single status, due to seeing so many happy couples in the Nimbasa amusement park during Valentine's Day.
- Superhero Movie has a scene where the hero has just broken up with his girlfriend, and while walking down the street is pained to see exclusively couples. It gets progressively sillier.
- Occurs in Jetsons: The Movie after Judy loses her rockstar boyfriend. In this scene, pop singer Tiffany (who provided Judy's voice for the movie) performs a song titled "I Always Thought I'd See You Again", which she later released as a single. You can see the scene here.
- Played with in Once Bitten when the main character's love interest refuses to have sex with him, he notices all of the many, many other couples having sex and sexual imagery.
- The Breakfast Club - Brian is the only one who is not romantically paired with anyone by the end of the film.
- Bridget Jones's Diary: Bridget who has just broken up with Daniel has dinner with Magda and Jeremy. They don't belong among her closest friends, and the only thing worse than a smug married couple is lots of smug married couples: Hugo and Jane, Cosmo and pregnant Woney, Alistair and Henrietta, Julia and Michael, Joanne and Paul, and Natasha Glenville dating Mark Darcy. They ask her uncomfortable questions about love life and why there are so many single women. Luckily, Bridget's able to strike back as she hints that one in three marriages ends in divorce these days.
- In The Cabin in the Woods, Curt and Jules are trying to set up Dana and Holden. This leaves Marty, the stoner fifth wheel, by himself. In fact, there is one point where Marty lies in bed reading a children's book while the other respective couples are getting it on. He doesn't seem to mind too much, though.
- Happens to Mary and Jim, the two lonely New Yorkers who are the protagonists of Lonesome. Both of them have a circle of friends who are all in relationships; both of them decline an invitation to go out from a couple for fear of being the third wheel.
- In Gene Stratton-Porter's The Song of the Cardinal, the cardinal defends his nesting place and is surrounded by mating birds when he does not have a mate.
- Firesong complains about this at one point in the Mage Storms trilogy. Specifically, he's got this idea that being lifebonded is the best of all possible relationships, he doesn't have a lifemate, but to him, Herald's Collegium is packed with life-bonded pairs. (He can only name a handful, though — this is one of the signs that Firesong's mind is slipping.)
- Elantris: Following a tragic series of romantic problems, Sarene is actually queasy at the sight of gooey romantic bliss. Her kindly escort has to guide her away from any couples at the party he's taking her to, though he logically points out that she's going to need to get over this eventually.
- Leo from The Heroes of Olympus is called "the seventh wheel" in-universe, as he is the only one among the Seven not paired off. In the fourth book, he's fallen in love with Calypso, so this may not last.
- Anne Elliot in Persuasion is the only one without a sweetheart during a walk from Winthrop. Her former fiancé Captain Wentworth is with Luisa, Charles Hayter gets back together with Henrietta, and Charles Musgrove is with his wife Mary.
- How I Met Your Mother:
- Barney is the only one single in Season 2 after Ted and Robin started dating and Lily and Marshall had gotten back together. It's played with and Played for Laughs, as Barney very much likes being single, but gets annoyed because the couples won't go out partying with him. He invites his gay brother James to hang out with them and do something exciting. It's revealed that James is in a serious monogamous relationship as well.
- Ted is alone in season eight when Marshall and Lily are with baby Marvin and Robin and Barney are getting ready for their wedding while Ted sits alone in the bar.
- In one episode of The Big Bang Theory, Raj suggests that they go to a Disco Night at a roller rink, and Howard & Leonard decide it'd be a great place to have a double date with their respective girlfriends. (This ends up being Raj's state for a long while once Amy and Bernadette join the cast. Has been used in a few episodes, such as insisting a guys' only sleepover/game night and ends explaining this when the girlfriends enter the picture.)
Raj: Great. It's not like I brought it up because I wanted to go.
Howard: You can come with us.
Raj: No, it's okay. I don't have to go. I'm happy just to guide you and your ladies to suitable entertainment choices. I'm a walking brown Yelp.com.
- Stargate Atlantis: By the end of the series, John Sheppard is alone while Mckay/Keller, Ronon/Amelia, and Teyla/Kanaan have all paired up. Extra sad as Elizabeth Weir, his classic Will They or Won't They? Ship Tease had been kidnapped two seasons before.
- At the beginning of season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this trope is discussed: Willow and Oz and Xander and Cordelia deliberately "uncouple" when they're around Buffy, in order not to emphasize her single status.
- The premise of the short-lived sitcom The Single Guy, which rode on the coattails of Friends and Seinfeld.
- This is the entire setup of the 2006 Barry Watson vehicle What About Brian?
- In Mad About You, one episode has someone die. In an elevator after the funeral, three couples pair while the widow stands alone.
- Friends: Joey by the final episode. Monica and Chandler are happily married and going strong, Phoebe is married to Mike, and Ross and Rachel decide to be together. As The Casanova of the gang, Joey doesn't mind much. He gets a Love Interest in his Spin-Off series.
- In the Scrubs episode "My T.C.W.", it is played for drama. After JD is criticized for agreeing to a date with a woman whose husband is in a coma, he gives his friends a "The Reason You Suck" Speech. He calls them out for complaining all the time about how crappy their relationships are and tells them they are lucky because he himself feels very alone because he is the only single one in his group.
- At the end of House of Anubis season 3, KT is the only person not paired off with anyone. She doesn't mind, though.
- Sex and the City featured this theme in several episodes. When the four of them were one of the only single women at a wedding, Carrie said they looked as if they were witches.
- In season 5 finale of Murdoch Mysteries, Detective Murdoch and his sidekick Constable Crabtree appear to be the only ones without a partner for a New Year's Eve policemen's ball. Constable Higgins gets a date and Inspector Brackenreid spends the evening with his wife. William Murdoch is alone as his star-crossed lover is married, and George Crabtree asked Doctor Grace out, but she had other plans. They consider not going at all, but they decide to mark a new century with a celebration. Subverted as both beautiful doctors Emily Grace and Julia Ogden make an appearance.
- Gilmore Girls:
- Rory doesn't have a boyfriend during her freshman year at Yale. When she's saying goodbye to her roommates, her single status is rubbed in her face. Both Tana (who is dating a guy named Chester, despite being young and clueless) and Paris point out Rory is the only one without a boyfriend on her photo collage. Paris is secretly dating a professor and when they are alone, she tries to set Rory up with said professor's son. Rory gets increasingly uncomfortable. Later even her grandma comments on it and arranges a dinner date for her. The date is not actually a date and it ends disastrously, and Rory calls her married ex-boyfriend for help.
- In "Afterboom", Lane gets super lonely after a gig of her band Hep Alien, and she's alone among happy couples, happy friends and happy families. After they finish, Lane is excited and wants to celebrate, but Gil makes out with his wife, Zach is surrounded by hot female fans and goes to a bar with two girls, and Brian is with his family who came to see them play. Lane invited her best friend Rory, but she couldn't come. To make it sourer, Lane can't even talk to her family because she moved out of her home against her mother's wishes and without her approval.
- Episode "Copper Bullet" of The Mentalist ends with the team enjoying themselves at a concert of some band, Dance Party Ending style. Everybody's dancing Patrick Jane with Teresa Lisbon, Abbot with his wife Lena, Wylie with his crush Vega except for Cho who decides to get one more taco, though he doesn't seem to mind that he's not with anyone. He's excited because he has just found out he's going to be promoted to a unit leader at FBI
- Parks and Recreation: At the end of the series, Jennifer Barkley is by far one of the few characters who isn't married and has no children. Subverted as she makes it very clear she prefers it that way when visiting Ben and Leslie and their triplets at their home.
- "Everybody's got somebody but me". The title says it all, really. Surprisingly cheerful melody, though.
- "Happy Loving Couples" by Joe Jackson.
Happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so fine
Till the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine.
- "The Whole World's In Love When You're Lonely" by B. J. Thomas
- "Some Guys Have All The Luck" by Rod Stewart
- In The Thrilling Adventure Hour, this is the perpetual fate of Frank and Sadie Doyle's friend Carter Caldwell, the "confirmed bachelor" (definitely of the gay variety). He's presented with several opportunities to pair off with other "bachelors" he encounters but ultimately seems devoted to his lonesome existence.
- Dane Cook has a routine on the subject, comparing it to walking through the rain past a house party that you weren't invited to.
- The entire point of Stephen Sondheim's Company. Bobby is always the third wheel to all his married friends, who try to get him to settle down, while unintentionally exemplifying the good and bad points of marriage. There is a telling moment in "Side By Side By Side," a number supposedly celebrating Bobby's single status. After the Last Chorus Slow-Down, couples take turns on the tap breaks, one spouse directly following the other, and Bobby's tap break leads to a sudden bar of silence because he has no partner.
- In RENT, Mark is the only character who doesn't get paired off at all. But he knows how to pass the time alone.
"Mucho masturbation!"
- In Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience after the title character decides in favor of Archibald Grosvenor all of the aesthetic young women who were sighing after Reginald Bunthorne decide to hook up with the dragoons, leaving Bunthorne to "have to be contented with a tulip or lily."
- Shakespeare's comedies frequently have characters who end up this way when the characters pair off at the end, sometimes because they're failed suitors to one of the paired-off characters, and other times it's hard to escape the conclusion that they're in love with a character of their own gender. Examples include Antonio in The Merchant of Venice; Sir Andrew, another Antonio, and Malvolio in Twelfth Night; Jaques in As You Like It; and Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing. Both Beatrice and Benedick in the same play sarcastically lampshade this trope repeatedly, but this is a fine example of Dramatic Irony: they're both vocally opposed to marriage but end up falling in love by the end of the play.
- Tia in Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals bemoans this after the wedding of Prince Leon and Princess Thea, when Maxim/Selan and Guy/Jessy go off (nevermind that Tia's boyfriend recently made a Heroic Sacrifice to save her). Iris cheers her up by asking if she would like to share a meal with her, not that there wasn't enough Les Yay between them . . .
- Even if you pair up all the females in Fire Emblem Awakening, you will always have a few single males left over.
- In Sinfest, Monique is walking along happily when she sees a park full of couples.
- The motion comic The First Word has a caveman alone among the pre-human couples. Worse, one of them is his ex-girlfriend, and she's having sex right in front of him.
- This comic does it to one poor bastard for who being on the Titanic wasn't bad enough.
- Invoked in this Funny Or Die parody of The Bachelor, which logically and hilariously explains why a gay season of the show might not work so well. Since all of the contestants are potentially attracted to each other, poor Bryden (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) is the odd man out because he doesn't live with them in the Reality TV Show Mansion, so they spend most of their time hooking up with each other rather than pursuing him.
Bryden: *being ignored at a pool party* You guys are supposed to be competing over me! I'm The Bachelor!
Contestant: We're all bachelors, dude.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender / The Legend of Korra:
- In the original series, Toph was the only of the main characters not paired off; also Ty Lee, among the major recurring good guys. Neither seems to mind.
- While he doesn't express any dissatisfaction, it's rather noticeable that Mako is the only member of the core group to be single at the end of the Grand Finale, especially since it ends with a wedding of two side characters and his two ex-girlfriends getting together.
- This is the focus for much of The Critic through its first season for protagonist Jay Sherman. Several episodes deal with his loneliness and one, in particular, focuses entirely upon this trope.
- The Lion King II: Simba's Pride: As Kiara searches unsuccessfully for Kovu, she notices some animal couples spending time together, namely two birds, gazelles, butterflies, and two monkeys, shortly before the song "Love Will Find a Way".
- In Futurama, Fry and Leela lament being Alone Among the Couples when on a cruise, but are at least able to take solace that they're Lonely Together.
- In the Phineas and Ferb special "Summer Belongs to You," Isabella is walking around Paris with Phineas, who proves to be amazingly Oblivious to Love. Naturally, her sad montage song has them pass by every happy couple in France.
- Star vs. the Forces of Evil:
- In "Just Friends", during Love Sentence's concert Star suddenly ends up in this situation, when numerous couples in the audience start kissing, including Marco and Jackie. She's uncomfortable and has to leave.
- Marco has a moment like this near the end of "Lava Lake Beach", after Kelly's ex-boyfriend Tad points out he has a crush on Star (who is now going out with Tom).
- In the "Pomp and Circumstance" sequence of Fantasia 2000, Donald and Daisy spend their voyage on Noah's Arc believing the other has drowned in the flood, leading them to stare mournfully at all the other animal couples around them.
- This trope becomes a Running Gag in Young Justice - Outsiders for Vergil, who became immediately aware of his relationship status when pretty much everyone else on the Team (save for Forager) had a partner in "Illusion of Control".
- After the US team won the 2016 Ryder Cup, a photo was taken of all the players kissing their wives/fiancees/girlfriends. Except for Rickie Fowler.

In her dream, Ruth and her husband were in bed, sleeping soundly. Suddenly, in the darkness of midnight, she was awakened by a presence in the room.
Startled and discombobulated, and not sure whether the intruder was friend or foe, she glanced about the room wildly until her eyes settled on a figure in the doorway.
Whoa. What a frightening sight. It was me! Her good ole' writing pal Debbie standing there grinning in my jammies. And in the dream, I bounded over to her bedside, proclaiming, "I just had a great story idea; scooch over and I'll tell you all about it!"
So poor befuddled Ruth quickly scooched over toward her husband, nearly knocking the sleeping man off the bed in the process, and I climbed in bed beside her, nestling happily down into the warm covers. There we lay, the three of us, as if this were the most normal thing in the world.
Writing buddies. All writers - aspiring or advanced - need them.
Maybe not to crawl into bed with us in the middle of the night, no. But certainly to bounce our ideas off, critique our work honestly, and to provide us with accountability when we can't seem to keep our butt on the computer chair. And more important than anything else, to truly understand and sympathize with the crazy frustrations we go through in slogging through the mud on the path to publication.
No matter where you are in the process, you need a writer buddy. I need a writer buddy. All God's chil'ren need writer buddies.
You never know where relationships with writer buddies will lead. I co-wrote a book with one of mine. I co-founded an annual writers retreat with another. Yet another wrote a piece about her writer buddy relationship with me that was published in a national trade journal.
So don't go it alone. Ditch the isolation blues. Grab a chi tea latte and a table at Starbucks to hash over that problem spot in your manuscript with your writer bud.
Just, for heaven's sake, stay out of her bed.

Lace and Bows
I wouldn't categorize myself as a girly-girl, but this outfit is right up there. These shoes were called the "Maggie" shoes on Anthro's website, so naturally I had to get them. They're definitely different than any other shoes I own, but are so cute. They're velvet with bows, which is perfect for the holiday season. I never thought to pair them with white lace before, but I think it turned out well! It's a perfectly girly outfit. I linked to similar shoes below, because these are sold out.

Injected medicines are commonly used in healthcare settings for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various illnesses. Unsafe injection practices put patients and healthcare providers at risk of infectious and non-infectious adverse events and have been associated with a wide variety of procedures and settings. This harm is preventable. Safe injection practices are part of Standard Precautions and are aimed at maintaining basic levels of patient safety and provider protections. As defined by the World Health Organization, a safe injection does not harm the recipient, does not expose the provider to any avoidable risks and does not result in waste that is dangerous for the community.
What are safe injection practices?
The following is an excerpt from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) "Guideline for Isolation Precautions: Preventing Transmission of Infectious Agents in Healthcare Settings 2007":
III.A.1.b. Safe Injection Practices
The investigation of four large outbreaks of HBV and HCV among patients in ambulatory care facilities in the United States identified a need to define and reinforce safe injection practices. The four outbreaks occurred in a private medical practice, a pain clinic, an endoscopy clinic, and a hematology/oncology clinic. The primary breaches in infection control practice that contributed to these outbreaks were 1) reinsertion of used needles into a multiple-dose vial or solution container (e.g., saline bag) and 2) use of a single needle/syringe to administer intravenous medication to multiple patients. In one of these outbreaks, preparation of medications in the same workspace where used needle/syringes were dismantled also may have been a contributing factor. These and other outbreaks of viral hepatitis could have been prevented by adherence to basic principles of aseptic technique for the preparation and administration of parenteral medications. These include the use of a sterile, single-use, disposable needle and syringe for each injection given and prevention of contamination of injection equipment and medication.
Whenever possible, use of single-dose vials is preferred over multiple-dose vials, especially when medications will be administered to multiple patients. Outbreaks related to unsafe injection practices indicate that some healthcare personnel are unaware of, do not understand, or do not adhere to basic principles of infection control and aseptic technique. A survey of U.S. healthcare workers who provide medication through injection found that 1% to 3% reused the same needle and/or syringe on multiple patients. Among the deficiencies identified in recent outbreaks were a lack of oversight of personnel and failure to follow up on reported breaches in infection control practices in ambulatory settings. Therefore, to ensure that all healthcare workers understand and adhere to recommended practices, principles of infection control and aseptic technique need to be reinforced in training programs and incorporated into institutional polices that are monitored for adherence.
IV.H. Safe Injection Practices
The following recommendations apply to the use of needles, cannulas that replace needles, and, where applicable, intravenous delivery systems:
IV.H.1. Use aseptic technique to avoid contamination of sterile injection equipment. Category IA
IV.H.2. Do not administer medications from a syringe to multiple patients, even if the needle or cannula on the syringe is changed. Needles, cannulae, and syringes are sterile, single-use items; they should not be reused for another patient nor to access a medication or solution that might be used for a subsequent patient. Category IA
IV.H.3. Use fluid infusion and administration sets (i.e., intravenous bags, tubing, and connectors) for one patient only and dispose appropriately after use. Consider a syringe or needle/cannula contaminated once it has been used to enter or connect to a patient's intravenous infusion bag or administration set. Category IB
IV.H.4. Use single-dose vials for parenteral medications whenever possible. Category IA
IV.H.5. Do not administer medications from single-dose vials or ampules to multiple patients or combine leftover contents for later use. Category IA
IV.H.6. If multidose vials must be used, both the needle or cannula and syringe used to access the multidose vial must be sterile. Category IA
IV.H.7. Do not keep multidose vials in the immediate patient treatment area and store in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations; discard if sterility is compromised or questionable. Category IA
IV.H.8. Do not use bags or bottles of intravenous solution as a common source of supply for multiple patients. Category IB
Why follow safe injection practices?
Safe injection practices are a set of measures to perform injections in an optimally safe manner for patients, healthcare providers, and others.
In the last decade, more than 150,000 patients in the United States were advised to get tested for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and HIV due to the reuse of syringes and misuse of medication vials.
A review of outbreaks by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was published in the January 2009 edition of the Annals of Internal Medicine. In that article, CDC researchers identified 33 hepatitis outbreaks between 1998-2008 resulting from deficient healthcare practices. The study focused on outbreaks that occurred in outpatient settings such as doctor's offices, outpatient clinics, dialysis centers, and nursing homes. Unsafe injection practices, such as reuse of syringes, accounted for most of the infections and exposures.
Data from a survey of U.S. healthcare workers who provide medication through injection indicate that some healthcare personnel are unaware of, do not understand, or do not adhere to basic principles of infection control and aseptic, or infection prevention, techniques. According to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists' Reuse of Needles and Syringes by Healthcare Providers Puts Patients at Risk, 1% to 3% of healthcare providers reuse the same needle and/or syringe on multiple patients.
Only when patients and providers both insist on One Needle, One Syringe, Only One Time for each and every injection will the risk of contracting infectious disease through injections be eliminated.

Man Of The Week/
I was recently interviewed by Man Talks to be their Man Of The Week.
Here is the intro from the article:
"Here at ManTalks' Man Of The Week, we love hearing stories from people who have overcome severe challenges in their life and persevered. There is something beautiful in being able to power through an uncomfortable feeling or emotion and then helping others around you conquer their own fears. This week we get to highlight an incredible Man, Tim Collins, who suffered from severe and crippling anxiety that it prevented him from being functional in a day-to-day manner. Familiar examples are when Tim went for a job interview and soaked through his entire shirt or when Tim had to present in front of senior directors in the company and suddenly felt like he was unable to breathe. After some deep thought and consideration, Tim decided his lifestyle strategy of resisting and suppressing his anxiety wasn't working, and if he was ever going to overcome it, he had to be vulnerable and change the way he was living his life. Overcoming anxiety, he learned, is not a over-night fix but a project that requires constant work and support. Today Tim empowers others and teaches them ways to overcome their own challenges by three ways: through one on one coaching, through a podcast he founded called The Anxiety Podcast, and his blog. If you suffer from anything similar, Tim is definitely the man to whom you should reach out!"

Acid reflux can cause heart palpitations, according to Harvard University. In addition, it is possible to experience heart palpitations after eating certain foods, which means those who experience them may wish to find ways to alter their diet.
Heart palpitations involve the heart beating too fast or too slow, and it can sometimes feel like the heart is missing a beat. While acid reflux is one cause, it is important to make a note of events that occur just before and during the palpitations to ensure this is the case. Patients who want to do this may wish to keep a diary of events, which they can present to their doctor when trying to identify the cause of palpitations.
In addition to acid reflux, some people may experience palpitations after eating meals that contain heavy amounts of fats, carbohydrates, MSG or sodium. Individuals who suspect their palpitations relate to their diet should keep a food diary and note when palpitations occur. This is an effective way to identify causative foods.
As palpitations can sometimes indicate heart disease, it is important for people who experience them frequently to consult with a doctor. In many cases, palpitations are not present in the doctor's office. Because of this, the doctor may run tests to identify the underlying cause or to eliminate heart disease.

It's that time of the year again! That's right. It is the first day of my classes at CMU! It was actually pretty good to begin the studying and homework again.
It's nice to come back to a university with a few changes. New road path (Broomfield), new dorms, new computer lab, and hopefully soon, a new dining commons.
The dining commons that closed their doors back in April are still not done renovating everything. I mean, they had 4 months to finish this! Come on! The news that I heard was that they had problems with getting all of the floor level because some of the ovens that have been sitting in there forever have sank into the floor. With that, they had to pour new layers of cement onto the floor. Before they pour on a new layer, they have to wait for the other one to dry. Yeah, that's too bad.
That is exactly why I have decided to eat only lunch every day until The Fresh Food Company is done. I will make exceptions if I am away from Mt. Pleasant.
This Thursday, I will be coming back home for Labor Day weekend to get my last check from Burger King. Hopefully, I can get it before Labor Day. I'll be able to begin playing Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille Zur Macht, the game I borrowed from Andy.
Isn't it relieving to not see a work entry? You won't be seeing them for a while! ^_^
I'll probably also work on my story when I come home, along with some other things.
Only two more classes to go until I have experienced each one.
More updates later, for sure! ~_^

Howard Roberts
Howard Roberts (October 2, 1929 – June 28, 1992) was an American jazz guitarist, educator, and session musician.[1]
Howard Roberts
|Birth name
|Howard Mancel Roberts
|October 2, 1929
Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.
|June 28, 1992 (aged 62)
Seattle, Washington, U.S.
|Jazz, rock, country
|Session musician, educator
|Years active
|Associated acts
|Bobby Troup, Chico Hamilton, the Wrecking Crew
Roberts was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and began playing guitar at the age of 8. By the time he was 15 he was playing professionally locally.[2][2]
In 1950, he moved to Los Angeles, California.[2] With the assistance of Jack Marshall, he began working with musicians, arrangers and songwriters including Neal Hefti, Henry Mancini, Bobby Troup, Chico Hamilton, George Van Eps, and Barney Kessel. Around 1956, Bobby Troup signed him to Verve Records as a solo artist. At that time he decided to concentrate on recording, both as a solo artist and a Wrecking Crew session musician, a direction he would continue until the early 1970s.
Roberts played rhythm and lead guitar, bass guitar, and mandolin. He was known for his heavy use of the Gibson L-5 guitar in the studio and for television and movie projects, including lead guitar on the theme from The Twilight Zone as well as acoustic and electric guitar on I Love Lucy, The Munsters, Bonanza, The Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, Green Acres, Get Smart, Batman, Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, Peter Gunn, Lost in Space, Dragnet, Wild Wild West, Mission: Impossible, The Odd Couple, Dick Van Dyke, I Dream of Jeannie, and the theme for the film Bullitt.
Roberts recorded with Georgie Auld, Peggy Lee, Eddie Cochran Jody Reynolds, Shelley Fabares, Dean Martin, the Monkees, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, and the Electric Prunes.
In 1961, Roberts designed a signature guitar which was produced by Epiphone. The guitar was a modified Gibson ES-175 (Epiphone is owned by Gibson and during this period Epiphone guitars were manufactured in the same factory as Gibson guitars in Kalamazoo, Michigan), with a round sound hole and a single pickup. A redesigned version was later produced by Gibson.[3]
In 1963, Roberts recorded Color Him Funky and H.R. Is a Dirty Guitar Player, his first two albums after signing with Capitol. Produced by Jack Marshall, they both feature the same quartet with Roberts (guitar), Chuck Berghofer (bass), Earl Palmer (drums) and Paul Bryant alternating with Burkley Kendrix on organ.[4] He recorded ten albums with Capitol before signing with ABC Records/Impulse! Records.
As a member of the Wrecking Crew, Roberts was a part of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, playing guitar on some of the most famous songs in pop music history.
From the late 1960s, Roberts began to focus on teaching rather than recording. He traveled around the country giving guitar seminars, and wrote several instructional books. For some years he also wrote an acclaimed column called "Jazz Improvisation" for Guitar Player magazine. Roberts developed accelerated learning concepts and techniques, which led to the founding of Playback Music Publishing and the Guitar Institute of Technology. In 1977, he co-founded the Musicians Institute (MI) in Hollywood.
Roberts died of prostate cancer in Seattle, Washington, on June 28, 1992.[5]
On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Howard Roberts among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.[6]
Awards and honorsEdit
In 2007, Howard Roberts and others members of the Wrecking Crew were inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.
Howard Roberts' main axe was a Gibson ES-150. Howard Roberts worked with Epiphone and Gibson to create several signature guitars. In 1962, Howard Roberts endorsed Epiphone and later the Epiphone Howard Roberts model was introduced. It was a 16" wide hollow body guitar with a Gibson humbucker bridge pickup and an oval sound hole in the center of body. In 1969 the model was rebranded as a Gibson. In 1970, Gibson introduced the Howard Roberts Fusion model, an electric semi-hollow guitar. The model evolved into Howard Roberts Fusion II in 1988 and Howard Roberts Fusion III in 1991. Both models are discontinued.

Pan Aroma, 8c
The giant roof of the Cima Ovest is without any doubt one of the most impressive formations in the climbing world. In 1968, these 40 horizontal meters were first climbed by the germans Gerhard Baur and the Rudolph brothers and their route got famous as the "biggest roof on earth".

In June 2007 the South Tyrolean Martin Kopfsguter and I went on to explore a new route through the center of the "Baur-Roof", which eventually could get climbed free. Naturally, we couldn´t follow the bolt ladder of the original route, but we had to use every single weakness to overcome the overhanging terrain without any artificial aid.

The new route shares in the lower, vertical part the first five pitches with "Bellavista" as well as the first twelve meters in the roof, but then cuts out right. Then it crosses up and right the whole center of the roof, crosses the "Baur-Route" and ends with some fully horizontal ceilings, which lead to the black and vertical walls above the roof. A ten meters long traverse leads up and left back to the "Baur-Route", which we then followed to the top.

Obviously, i was interested in redpointing our new project. After about a month and some days of hard work in the route I finally redpointed "Pan Aroma" at the 26th of July. Max Reichel and Franz Hinterbrandner were with me on that day and they took the chance to get some "live" footage of the redpoint ascent.

In the lower part, which the new route shares with "Bellavista", the climb is protected with pitons. The two new pitches in the giant roof are protected by eleven bolts, nuts or friends can be left at home. Therefor, "Pan Aroma" is quite a challenging climb and it should be something like 8c.

An assertiveness training programme can help people to discover what works for them, without resorting to difficult behavior themselves.
Working in small groups, two experienced trainers use games, role-play and other experiential processes to get each individual to see exactly what is possible for them in order to feel better about themselves and their situation.
Whatever the assertiveness issue or issues, we can create a tailored assertiveness training programme for individuals or companies designed to help delegates appropriately manage workload, time pressure and people pressure.

Downtown Elkin is rich in history and charm.Excerpts courtesy of S. Jason Couch,. — "Images of America, Elkin."
The town of Elkin was named after the Elkin River, now known as the Elkin Creek, first indentified on the 1770 North Carolina map drawn by John Colet. Settlers began moving to the area around 1752. One early resident, David Allen operated an iron works along the Elkin Creek as early as 1776. This is the first documented industry in the area, and was frequented by the Moravians from Salem in Forsyth County. Richard Gwyn, referred to as Elkin's founding father, moved to the north side of the Yadkin River from Jonesville in 1840. He built a gristmill along the Elkin Creek where the Elkin Public Library is now located. In 1847 he built an addition to the mill to house a small cotton mill and established the Elkin Manufacturing Company. Around 1950 he built a small one-room schoolhouse to serve as the community church and school. This structure survives today and is the oldest school and church in Surry County. In the last few months of the Civil War, Major General George Stoneman and his raiders passed through Elkin in April 1865 during his destructive raid through Western North Carolina and Virginia.
In May 1872, the towns of Elkin and Jonesville were connected for the first time by a bridge. A covered bridge with a span of 210 feet was built by a Mr. Lindsey from New England and was said to be the longest wooden suspension bridge in the world at that time. It initially operated as a toll bridge but was later purchased by Surry and Yadkin counties and operated freely. It was replaced in 1913 with a steel structure.
In 1877, the Elkin Valley Woolen Mill was established by Alexander Chatham and Thomas L. Gwyn about one mile further up the creek from the cotton mill. The original dam that provided water power for this mill can be viewed from the Elkin Valley Trail leading north from the Elkin Municipal park. In 1890, Mr. Chatham became the sole owner of the woolen mill and the name was changed to Chatham Manufacturing Company. In 1893, Chatham moved the mill from this site to a location east of town alongside the new railroad that came to Elkin in 1890. Chatham Manufacturing eventually would become one of the largest blanket manufacturers in the world, producing millions of blankets for our armed forces during both WWI and WWII.
Officially charted in 1889, Elkin continued to grow alongside it's major industries of textiles, furniture, shoes, veneer, and locust pins and brackets. The first major newspaper published was the Elkin Times, begun in 1892 by R.L. Hubbard and John Roth. It eventually gave way to its competitor, The Elkin Tribune, which was started in 1911 by W.E. and H.G. Nichols and is still in business today. On July 4, 1911, Elkin celebrated the official opening of the Elkin and Alleghany Railway, a now abandoned railway whose goal was to reach Sparta and beyond. It never made it beyond the foot of the mountain below the community of Roaring Gap. However, today the first two miles of the railroad bed have been made into a wonderful multi-use trail by the Elkin Valley Trails Association.
Today downtown Elkin is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is known for its quality schools and a first-class hospital. Located adjacent to Interstate 77 and minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, centrally located to the regions many wineries, Stone Mountain State Park and Pilot Mountain State Park, downtown Elkin is a destination affectionately known as the "best little town in North Carolina."

I'm a product designer with a multidisciplinary background and over 15 years of experience in the trenches. Digital 3d modeling led me to data visualization - which brought me to product design. Working primarily in the ed-tech space, I've had the opportunity to collaborate on apps, websites, and all the research and design processes that allow designers to contribute - including data visualization, user experience, and visual design.
I've implemented live style guides on large scale agile builds, developed mobile apps on the fly with small, lean, cross-functional teams, designed customer development experiments in early product phases, and produced fine grained illustrations to support the kind visual storytelling that will keep tomorrow's students engaged. Previously, I adapted to professional environments ranging from $400M private construction projects, to small public R&D procurements, to emergency management field operations.
I am passionate about working at the intersection of design, technology, and the public good - and that's why I'm currently working on the future of education at Amplify.

According to Paleo-Leap Bone-in sardines are an excellent source of calcium. A 3.75-ounce can provides 35% of the RDA, probably higher than any other Paleo food. It's true that calcium isn't the end of the story for healthy bones and teeth, but that doesn't mean it's not important at all; if you don't react well to dairy, sardines are your bones' best friend.
Their high calcium content is usually the star of the show, but don't let it blind you to everything else in the can. Sardines also deliver:
- Selenium (69%)
- Phosphorus (45%)
- Iron (15%)
- Magnesium (9%)
- Copper (9%)
Sardines are something like a fish oil supplement, if fish oil supplements also delivered protein, vitamins, minerals, and an easily portable snack food. Unlike supplements, canned sardines don't need to be refrigerated, and you don't have to worry about whether they've been sitting around going rancid on the grocery-store shelf. So between the supplement and the fish, the fish are the clear winners. Fish may have earned its reputation as "brain food" because some people eat fish to help with depression, psychosis, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),Alzheimer's disease, and other thinking disorders.
If you have an issue reaching your daily requirement of these types of nutrients that the body requires, Cedra has its own line of vitamins. Come in and have a chat with a pharmacist and let us assist you and recommend what daily vitamins you should be taking.

Tuesday October 5, 2010
What is it?
October is National Energy Awareness Month. This year's theme for Army is "Empowering Defense through Energy Security."
What is the Army doing?
A highlight of Energy Awareness Month will be the Pentagon Energy Security Event on October 12-15. The event will include more than 75 exhibits featuring installation and operational technology from industry, the services and Department of Defense, as well as forums on October 13 with senior leadership and leading experts.
The Army is working with federal, state and local government, private industry and the public on technologies including large-scale solar, wind and geothermal to proactively shape our energy future and move the nation toward energy independence. We have also updated our acquisition process to require that energy productivity be included in Army acquisition programs.
In theater, the Army has spearheaded initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan to reduce vehicular fuel consumption, monitor energy use, insulate shelters, increase battery life, and reduce battery size and volume. These and other operational energy improvements boost performance and reduce vulnerabilities.
Why is this important to the Army?
Energy is both a force multiplier and a vulnerability. Improving Army's energy posture will enhance our combat capability in theater and support for combat capability at our fixed installations. By reducing the energy intensity of our equipment and facilities at home and in theater and through more efficient operations and better integration into our acquisition processes, we can lower operational risk, improve Warfighter effectiveness, and reduce costs. When deployed, systems such as smart grids enable better energy awareness and management, in turn improving system responsiveness, reducing the chance of local shortages or excess capacity.
What is planned for the future?
Two Army initiatives include a 500 megawatt solar energy project that would result in Fort Irwin, Ca., becoming energy secure by 2017 and a 30 megawatt geothermal power plant at Hawthorne Army Depot that would meet all of Hawthorne's electrical needs by 2014. The Army is also replacing older non-tactical vehicles with 4,000 electric and 700 hybrid vehicles, saving of 100,000 metric tons on carbon dioxide emissions and 7.5 million gallons of fuel over six years.
In addition, the Army will soon publish: an Operational Energy Initial Capabilities Document; a Tactical Fuel and Energy Implementation Plan; and a roadmap that spells out the Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel and Facilities (DOTMLPF) activities required to affect the Army's Operational Energy Strategy.

A wonderful evening , totally unforeseen, thanks to some-one who just asked me at the nick of the hour and we landed at the venue to witness some un-glamourised names in the field of music, specifically the sufi style!
Ruhaniyat , one of the various events organised under the Banyan Tree Events, brought about the meet of some fabulous singers from various stretches of the country. Majority were the voices and styles from western rajasthan where sufi found a seat in india but it also had some people from Assam, West Bengal and my favourite singers of the evening from a small town near Ludhiana! Unfortunately , i missed their names (should be 'the Nizam Brothers').Most of the others were creating an aura of extreme devotion and spiritual atmosphere , what sufi stands for, while these guys were breathtaking in the terms of musical expertise they exhibited!
But for most, it was the Sabri Brothers who made their evenings memorable with their charm in Qawwali singing. They also rendered Chapu Tilak from the hindi movie Batwara. For me, they were fun and the play of words was very entertaining. I specially liked the way they brought the audience in their attempt to communicate,interact and let everybody get involved! I have been the lead singer in my school's qawwali group and never was it so much fun as it was yesterday!
Add to all this, it was organised in The Garden of Five Senses, the perfect place for such concerts! I am bored of hearing rock shows being held in open air while this was just an ideal way of blending the chilly weather with the warmth of mellifluous Sufi noted phonic effects!
I have recorded one whole song by the Sabri Brothers on my camera on a special request , will put it up here if its worth it.
I am disappointed with the fact that i missed 'Dakshinayan' , a dedicated carnatic festival organised by the same group in Delhi. Apparently, the group has a two days music festival every year in Mumbai, first held in the 1990s.

As a stylist, I'm often asked 'Is there a colour that suits everyone?' Usually by brides and those choosing staff uniforms. On a practical note, it's important; I've seen bridesmaids take on the hue of decomposing cod because the bride wanted their dresses to match the cake ribbon (it was pale lilac – looked grim on
The Power of Bog Door Blue
On my sofa is a bright blue cushion. It's not a colour I've ever liked. It's somewhere between Cerulean and Royal. To me it's always been Council House Bog Door Blue. In 1960s England, it was the colour of our front door, and every other door on the sprawling 50s estate that was the pride

Shoes: Why we're so in love
'Some' of us have a crush whose name we dare not speak. To admit it might appear, well, shallow. Mostly we keep schtum. But when spoken, this word seduces, like soft waves lapping a shore. Heck, it even forces a pout as it escapes our lips. And that word is S H O E S . . . Shoes

'Hurvin Anderson: Backdrop' at CAM Takes Viewers Between Two Worlds
"Hurvin Anderson: Backdrop" is the first of three exhibitions curated by Jeffrey Uslip at Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis that explores connections between personal cultural backgrounds and experiences of race, alterity and equality (Anderson is followed by Mark Bradford, an African-American resident of south-central LA, in May 2016 and Kelley Walker, a caucasian New Yorker, next September).
On display through Dec. 27, Anderson's work draws on his experiences as a child of Jamaican parents who settled in the UK after WWII: Themes of inclusion/exclusion, being British/being Caribbean, being an insider/being an outsider weave through his work, says Uslip.
Especially noticeable, almost tangible, in his work is the liminal tension of acquiring an identity and even heritage—themes that became especially apparent during Anderson's 2002 artist residency in Trinidad, when he said "everything about me got questioned"—if he was English, black, Caribbean, Jamaican.
Anderson exists in and between two worlds and puts the viewer into his lived position through his work. Some of his paintings—ones of the Caribbean that are vivid with island hues and full of life; ones that make you want to belong to that place—have metal grills in the foreground that exclude you from the actions and setting of the background. You have to peer through the starburst patterns, eternally frustrated at the futility of gaining access to what is, after all, a painting. Depicted spaces like bars, meant for community and inclusion, are now about exclusion, says Uslip.
The theme emerges again in Anderson's barbershop paintings, based on salons in the UK that sprang up after the Jamaican migration. "When [these immigrants] arrived in the UK, they experienced different forms of racism, and one of those forms was that white barbers wouldn't cut the hair of people of color," says Uslip. "So these salons came to the fore in people's attics, in their domestic spaces. Like the bar that you see in 'Welcome Carib,' the barbershop was another kind of discursive space, except in those paintings, you'll see that the fourth wall is removed. So instead of being barred from the paintings, you can actually enter it. You take the subject position of both barber and spy, looking into someone's room—insider, outsider; inclusion, exclusion; interior spaces, exterior spaces."
Uslip mentions the lack of ceillings in some, creating an "atmospheric feel," and how the subjects are turned away from your position as the viewer, making them seem vulnerable. But some things are amiss: "Objects in the background are just floating off the walls," Anderson explains, hinting that painting is not always a steadfast depiction of life-as-it-is. Anderson says that his paintings are translations of his experiences, and as is the case with translations, the end product is never precisely the original.
As he paints, Anderson draws from photographs rather than memory, creating distances of time, geography and emotion between output and lived experience. The technique also conflates "the seemingly objective, critical and truthful nature of photography and the subjective impulse of painting," says Uslip. "This is the first show to exhibit Hurvin's paintings alongside photographs, sculpture and works on paper—and that's where you see the photography looking fragmented or blurry. So it's again recalling the same kind of tropes that are in the painting but making the relationship between photography and painting explicit."
Anderson manipulates his photography, Caribbean island scenes, by confounding the idea that it is subjective: By positioning the camera at the same subject, but from different approaches for each shot, Anderson's two-or-more-part photos have obstacles built into their joining. You find yourself struggling to stitch together the comprehensive whole and find truth in the fragmentation—even though, in some respects, it is already there.

The built-in iOS calculator on the iPhone is well-designed but you should know some hidden features which make the experience smoother.
Swipe to delete digits
Just swipe left or right to backspace and delete the most recent entry instead of clearing the entire value.
Copy / paste
You can quickly copy and paste results or any number by using long press.
Scientific calculator
If you rotate your iPhone to landscape mode you'll get a basic scientific calculator.
Only the scientific calculator offers the memory features mc (memory clear), m+/m- (add to/subtract from temporary storage) and mr (memory recall). This is what I sorely miss in portrait mode.
Several of Apple's stock iOS apps that are available on iPhone don't have their iPad counterparts. These include Weather, Stocks, Voice Memo, Compass, and the Calculator App. A calculator would also be a nice feature on the Apple Watch. I know that there are 3rd-party apps (and I nearly used them all) but if I pay a lot of bucks for an Apple device I'd like to see some useful apps included without downloading payed apps, apps showing more ad than results, or free apps which most often aren't updated with a new version of iOS.
The worst and most featureless calculator app is the one pre-installed on devices running pure Android like my Nokia 6.1. The best calculator is still running on my Windows 10 powered low-cost Lumia 550. With it you get a clean, perfect UI and you're also able to convert into lots of different units like Celsius to Fahrenheit. Sadly it isn't updated any longer because Joe Belfiore made it official: Windows 10 Mobile is dead.Really? Well, statements are still cloudy.

Thanks for reading.
