These Cats Can Fit Into Just About Anything. It's Like They're Mr. Fantastic!
Cat lovers know that you can find your cat in just about any space imaginable. Cat ownership can be exciting and fun for that very reason. Did you think that your cat could fit into a vase? No? Well, guess what… it can!
The places these cats crawled into make me question the basic laws of physics. Are cats actually liquids??
1.) Just to fluff your hands.
2.) Bury your head.
3.) Take only one.
4.) Look what the trash dragged in.
5.) Anyone want some cat burgers?
6.) 2 cats, one jar.
7.) How does a spine do that?!
8.) That actually is pretty close.
9.) I hope this is how the bought their cat/water from the store.
10.) Cat milk!
11.) That's either a small cat or a large bowl.
12.) The light of my life.
13.) Guess how many kittens are in this jar!
14.) At least he can move around in there.
15.) He just wanted to put the blinds down.
16.) It's a calico wine from the meow-meow region.
17.) His punishment for illegally downloading music.
18.) Looks like it fell asleep in there.
19.) Those eyes! THOSE EYES!
20.) Purrrrfect amount of space.
21.) Oh honey no, you're not a hamster.
22.) A decorative centerpiece.
23.) The best part of waking up, is kittens in your cup!
24.) I thought you said you needed paper towels?
25.) How do you even get out of this?
26.) Special delivery!
The Ultimate Cat Fails Compilation by worldwideinterweb
I don't know how anything can fit in those spaces, let alone a living breathing thing. Cats are incredible. They're basically superheroes (possibly supervillains).

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has officially retired the Excalibur Project, a platform for component and container applications built on the Java platform around the design patterns Inversion of Control (IoC) and Separation of Concerns (SoC).
Senior Java EE developer Carsten Ziegeler, a long-time member of the Apache Software Foundation, and a member of the Excalibur community, discussed the decision last week via the ASF user mailing list. The project was retired due to inactivity, he said.
"Retiring a project is not as simple as turning everything off," Ziegeler wrote, "as existing users need to both know that the project is retiring and retain access to the necessary information for their own development efforts."
At the core of the Excalibur project was the Avalon Framework, which provided Java software for component and container programming. Excalibur was actually a subproject of Apache Avalon, one of several to split off from that project. Avalon, which pioneered IoC and SoC, was closed in 2004.
Inversion of Control is a software architecture principle in which flow control of a system is inverted. It's sometimes called the Hollywood Principle (Don't call us, we'll call you.), a term SpringSource founder Rod Johnson is often credited with coining. And it's commonly seen as a defining characteristic of a framework. Separation of Concern refers to a software engineering principle that describes the process of separating a computer program into separate features that overlap in functionality as little as possible.
Excalibur was used to build a range of applications, from desktop-centric Swing apps to complicated servers. It also included IoC container called Fortress, a set of container utilities called ContainerKit, and a component library called Cornerstone.
Ziegeler said there were no known natural successors or potential forks for Excalibur, but he pointed to two alternatives: Apache Felix and Apache Aries. The Felix community is trying to implement the OSGi R4 Service Platform and other OSGi-related technologies under the Apache license. The Aries project aims to deliver a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model, including implementations and extensions of app-focused specs defined by the OSGi Alliance Enterprise Expert Group (EEG) and an assembly format for multi-bundle applications, for deployment to OSGi-based runtimes.

After hours of trial and error I managed to get the XViD-encoded video into a MPEG4 -container (.mp4). Surprisingly the the abovementioned problem with OGM occurred also with mp4, so I figured that the true source of problems was XViD. Soon I discovered that the video clips I had used, contained a so-called "packed bitstream", which meant that the B-frames were crammed inside P-frames. After I changed this in encoding settings and re-encoded the video clips, the decoding worked well. This means that although the OGM format was labeled as a "broken format" in this thread, it probably would work well also with b-frames. However, I didn't try that in practice anymore, since I'm happy with mp4 now :) -- Jani Boutellier

Throw not your dart of hate
What is it about my proud air
that draws out such evil intent,
that brings you here, with your
curled spiteful lips and narrowed
bellicose stare. Can you not give
thanks you are not so afflicted,
as a man whole you should be
content. What barbs of fate
have snagged your heart, pierced
your mind with such a bitter bane,
that amusement can be found in
wanton hate. I can grant you respite,
throw not your foul dart, for I have
my ego slain. Such is the armour
I wear that neither sword or spear
can my sanctuary breach. Take heed
poor creature, listen and fear, evil
sent always returns thrice fold.
To you 'change' I beseech,
consider yourself told.

I support people in cultivating cross-cultural collaboration through clarity in conversation.
My work in
has shown me that
– real interpersonal connection can only happen through open curiosity and clarity of intention –
– intercultural savvy goes beyond sharing a common language and "being nice" –
– your cross-cultural success relies on how well you know yourself –
– competence creates confidence and credibility –
You benefit from solutions designed especially for your success through impact planning. Co-create
Your skills acquisition is boosted by keynote talks and seminars with visuals and graphic recording. Connect
Your team gets an illustrated company relevant handbook containing your unique solutions. Communicate
To facilitate a change for the better people need to change their thinking and to change collective thinking demands a change in the conversations they are having. This leads to a "rewiring" of the brain (mindsets) and ultimately generates new (and better) behaviors.
In a nutshell? "cultura"(Latin) which comes from the verb "colo" or "colere" means to tend, care, look after and cultivate. Culture is the way things get done around "here" and the way things get done over "there". I support people in bringing their ways of doing things, together – a.k.a team alignment. I tend to, look after and cultivate cross-cultural collaboration through clarity in conversation.
They say you'll get excited, inspired to "get moving" by my frank yet encouraging no-buts, kick-butt style!
Goodbye Goa! Goodbyes, hellos and no going back! We return to special places and familiar faces but we never go back. Life does not go back. Change and transformation come in the most unexpected places and faces – and it can all be explained in the Eastern and Western approaches to the science of life!

I believe you are the proof of Val's statement. There will be drama, and it's very sad, because as a rather long time member here I know she would have been good. It's a pity some people have to ruin things for others.
Now it is passed tense because 'one of your own' got outed?
then all Val and you by extension are doing is proselytizing for a few members at the expense of others. Fine by me.

Are you (a MOD) defending her actions? Is that the jest of your query?
Im sure the ACLU and National Gay Pride Committee will take you in.
Now who out there wants ME to publicly endorse them
Should she re-enter then her postings and off-board tie-ins are fair game once again.

Perfect blend between OE and Custom
I have a stock (looking) 1970 Firebird that needed door lock knobs, ordered them in polished aluminum, they look better than factory knobs with 10 times the quality and without looking out of place in a stock interior.
aftermarket and oe had a baby.
I love them, the small things make a big difference, and I know I won't see them on everyone's cars.
All in the details...
For being such a small item in relation to other parts of an interior, these are some high quality parts. They are much better than the original plastic pieces that came original in my Nova. They will make a great addition to any interior. You won't be disappointed.
Great finishing touch
The black finished knobs are perfect and look great on the door.
great product
These look great. I bet they wont break off if I catch my shirt sleeve on them. (Like 3 of the cheap plastic ones from other vendors did)

Treatments for Carpal Tunnel
If your job requires a lot of typing or repetitive movement, you can't simply quit because of carpal tunnel syndrome. You need the right treatment, expertly delivered. The course of action that's best for you depends on several factors: the severity of your carpal tunnel, your goals and even your level of patience.
From conservative let's-try-this-first products and therapy to hand surgeons who get rave reviews, let's fix it. Learn about carpal tunnel treatments here, then ask our experts to give your hand a hand.
Treatments We Provide
Carpal Tunnel Surgery
During open surgery, the surgeon cuts the wrist open and cuts the tissue pressing on the nerve. This relieves the pressure on the nerve.
Corticosteroid Injection
An injection in the area of pain sends steroids directly to the source. Your doctor may suggest a single injection or a series over several weeks. If your pain is higher than you can really tolerate, this might be for you.
Hand Therapy
Our Hand Therapy program provides specialized rehabilitation in treating pain and injuries of the hand, wrist, elbow or splinting. Our program includes one-on-one rehabilitation sessions as well as education to reduce the risk of further injury. Call us 616.267.0357.
Orthopedic Devices
A brace or wrap can help relieve pain from carpal tunnel. Your doctor can recommend the best type to stabilize and protect your hand and wrist. You may avoid surgery completely, or use it as a pain reliever while you wait for your surgery.
Outpatient Rehabilitation
Outpatient rehabilitation services are offered in a variety of settings and locations to ensure you receive the best treatment options available. Conditions we treat range from sports-related injuries and post-surgical conditions to general sprains and strains from everyday living.

The surprise success this year of Lionel Richie's Tuskegee (which is the #2 best-seller so far this year) shows that veteran artists have an advantage in the chart wars. Older fans are probably the most loyal and reliable album buyers. This week, two albums debut in the top five by acts that have been around even longer than Richie. The Beach Boys' That's Why God Makes The Radio enters The Billboard 200 at #3. Neil Young & Crazy Horse's Americana debuts at #4. The Beach Boys first charted in November 1962; Young (with The Buffalo Springfield) in March 1967.
This week's lofty debut gives the Beach Boys a 49-year span of top five albums. The group first made the top five on the mono chart with Surfin' U.S.A. on June 22, 1963. (The current chart will appear in the Billboard issue dated June 23, 2012.) Only Frank Sinatra has had a longer span of top five albums. Sinatra's top five albums span 62 years and two months, from The Voice Of Frank Sinatra (March 23, 1946) to Nothing But The Best (June 7, 2008). FYI, Tony Bennett is in third place, just a couple of weeks behind the Beach Boys. His top five albums span nearly 49 years, from I Left My Heart In San Francisco (Nov. 24, 1962) to Duets II (Nov. 5, 2011).
The Beach Boys first hit the top five when John F. Kennedy was President. They're still going strong under Barack Obama. Sinatra's run was even more impressive. He first made the top five when Harry Truman was President. He made it most recently under George W. Bush.
That's Why God Made The Radio is the Beach Boys' highest-charting album since the hits compilation Endless Summer reached #1 in October 1974. It's the group's highest-charting album of new material since Summer Days (And Summer Nights!) hit #2 in September 1965.
Americana is Young's 12th career top 10 album (counting three albums with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). It's his highest-charting album since CSNY's hits compilation So Far hit #1 in November 1974. It's his highest-charting album apart from CSNY since Harvest hit #1 in March 1972. Young's album features such beloved folk standards as Stephen Foster's "Oh! Susanna" and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land." It's the instant front-runner to win a Grammy as Best Americana Album.
This is the second album titled Americana to reach the top five. The Offspring hit #2 in January 1999 with an album by that title.
Adele's 21 jumps from #2 to #1 in its 68th week. This is its 24th week on top. That's the longest run at #1 by any album since Prince & the Revolution's Purple Rain soundtrack also had 24 weeks on top in 1984-1985. The last album to spend more weeks on top was Michael Jackson's Thriller, which spent 37 weeks on top in 1983-1984.
21 is the first album to rank #1 this deep into its chart run since Paula Abdul's Forever Your Girl ranked #1 for the final time in its 89th week on the chart in March 1990. The Fine Print: Michael Jackson's Number Ones was 6-1/2 years old when it was the best-selling album for six weeks following his death in 2009. Catalog albums were barred from The Billboard 200 at the time.
21 is doing better these days in the U.S. than it is in the U.K. The album drops to #12 in its 72nd week on the Official U.K. Chart. This is its first week outside of the top 10.
21 is likely to become the first album to wind up at #1 on Nielsen SoundScan's year-end sales recaps two years running. Moreover, it's likely to become the first album to rank #1 on Billboard's year-end chart twice since Michael Jackson's Thriller, which achieved the feat in 1983 and 1984. Three other albums have achieved this feat: the My Fair Lady original cast album with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (1957 and 1958), The Sound Of Music original cast album with Mary Martin (1960 and 1961) and the West Side Story soundtrack (1962 and 1963).
aAlan Jackson's Thirty Miles West debuts at #2. (If it had sold just 3,000 more copies, it would have become Jackson's fifth #1 album.) It's Jackson's 12th top 10 album. He scored his first, Who I Am, in July 1994. It's #1 on Top Country Albums. It's Jackson's 13th #1 country album.
Big K.R.I.T's debut album, Live From The Underground, debuts at #4. Big K.R.I.T. is the fourth solo artist whose name begins with the word "Big" to land a top 10 album. He follows Big Boi, Big Pun and Big Sean.
One Direction's Up All Night drops from #4 to #6. Next week, it will surpass Whitney Houston's Whitney: The Greatest Hits to become the #3 best-seller so far this year. In addition, the boy band's DVD, Up All Night: The Live Tour, is #1 for the second week on Top Music Videos. It sold 37,000 copies this week, bringing its two-week total to 113K.
Curren$y's The Stoned Immaculate debuts at #6. It's the rapper's fifth studio album since 2010. (How's that for a work ethic?) The album features Wiz Khalifa, Wale, 2 Chainz and Big K.R.I.T.
Brandi Carlile's Bear Creek debuts at #10. It's her first top 10 album. Her previous best mark was #26 for 2009's Give Up The Ghost.
Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" logs it fourth week at #1 on Hot Digital Songs. That's the longest run by an unassisted female solo artist since Adele's "Someone Like You" had four weeks on top in September and October. Will "Call Me Maybe" finally jump to #1 on the Hot 100? I think so. Its sales increased by 4% this week. Sales of the record it's trying to dethrone, "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra, declined by 14%. You'll find out for sure later today when we post Chart Watch: Songs.
Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 albums.
The Top Five: Adele's 21 jumps from #2 to log its 24th week at #1 (75K). This is the album's 68th week on the chart. It has been in the top 10 the entire time… Alan Jackson's Thirty Miles West debuts at #2 (73K). It's Jackson's 12th top 10 album…The Beach Boys' That's Why God Made The Radio debuts at #3 (61K). It's the group's 14th top 10 album… Neil Young & Crazy Horse's Americana debuts at #4 (44K). This is Young's 12th career top 10 album… Big K.R.I.T's debut album, Live From The Underground, debuts at #5 (41K).
The Second Five: One Direction's Up All Night drops from #4 to #6 in its 13th week on the chart (40K). The former #1 album has been in the top 10 the entire time… John Mayer's Born And Raised drops from #1 to #7 in its third week (39K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time. The tally includes 20K digital copies, which puts it at #1 on Top Digital Albums for the third straight week…Curren$y's The Stoned Immaculate debuts at #8 (36K). It's the rapper's first top 10 album… Carrie Underwood's Blown Away drops from #6 to #9 in its sixth week (27K). The album has been in the top 10 the entire time…Brandi Carlile's Bear Creek debuts at #10 (27K). This is her first top 10 album.
Six albums drop out of the top 10 this week. Regina Spektor's What We Saw from the Cheap Seats drops from #3 to #22, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros' Here drops from #5 to #27, Sigur Ros' Valtari plummets from #7 to #56, Now 42 drops from #8 to #13, Luke Bryan's Tailgates & Tanlines drops from #9 to #11, and Lionel Richie's aforementioned Tuskegee drops from #10 to #16.
Joe Walsh's Analog Man debuts at #12. This is Walsh's sixth solo album to make the top 20. Surprisingly, this matches the number of top 20 albums he had as a member of Eagles, a band he joined in 1975. (His first album with the group was 1976's Hotel California.) Walsh first cracked the top 20 in 1970 as a member of The James Gang.
The Rock Of Ages soundtrack debuts at #15. It's the week's #1 soundtrack. Tom Cruise stars in the movie adaptation of a Broadway show that received a Tony nomination as Best Musical of 2009. The cast album reached #118.
Adele's 2008 album 19 jumps from #26 to #21 in its 138th week on the chart. It's #1 on Top Catalog Albums for the 41st week.
Victorious Cast's Victorious 2.0 TV soundtrack debuts at #18…Jana Kramer's Jana Kramer debuts at #19… Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events bows at #28. The album has spent three weeks on top in the U.K. this year. Adele's 21 is the only other album that has logged three or more weeks on top in the U.K. so far this year.
Eric Benet's One debuts at #32. It's Benet's fourth album to crack the top 40…The Very Best Of Daryl Hall & John Oates re-enters at #34. The album was first released in 2001. The duo first cracked the top 40 in May 1976 with Daryl Hall & John Oates (the album that spawned "Sara Smile").
Two vintage albums re-enter the chart. Paul Simon's Graceland re-enters at #51. The album peaked at #3 in April 1987 and won a Grammy as Album of the Year…The Beatles' Yellow Submarine soundtrack re-enters at #55. The album peaked at #2 in March 1969. (It was blocked from the top spot by another Beatles album—the White Album).
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted was #1 at the box-office over the weekend. The first two movies in the series, Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, also debuted at #1.
Coming Attractions: Look for Usher's Looking 4 Myself to open at #1 next week with sales in the 120K range. That's a mediocre first-week tally for a superstar like Usher. Four other albums are eyeing top 10 debuts. Rush's Clockwork Angels will probably debut at #2, Ed Sheeran's + at #4, Josh Turner's Punching Bag at #6 and Waka Flocka Flame's Triple F Life: Fans, Friends & Family at #8. Also due: Grace Potter & The Nocturnals' The Lion The Beast The Beat, Now Country 5, Jimmy Fallon's Blow Your Pants Off and Metric's Synthetica.

Posted by Michael Milone on Oct 26, 2017
The dream of every physicist is finding the theory of everything. The dream of every teacher is discovering how to engage every student. How wonderful it would be for them...and us.
There is no single definition for engagement, but it is one of those constructs we recognize when we see it. Engaged students are attentive and interested in what they are doing. They are curious, hopeful about what they can accomplish, and enthusiastic. Here's a statement about engagement from Education Leadership more than 20 years ago:
Students who are engaged in their work are energized by four goals—success, curiosity, originality, and satisfying relationships. How do we cultivate these drives in the classroom?
The article is worth reading because it is highly practical and thoughtfully written. It also seems to anticipate the growth mindset, which has deservedly garnered a lot of attention recently, by suggesting one of the steps in promoting engagement is "convincing kids they can succeed."
All learners have something that is engaging for them, and it is usually more than one thing. For some students, their engagement triggers are easily identified. (An obvious example for many male students is the phenomenon known as football season.) The engagement triggers for other students are not so easily identified.
Take a moment to think back on your educational experiences, including hobbies and other activities. What were your engagement triggers? How about the triggers for friends or family members? Can you recall teachers, mentors, or friends who were good at getting you to engage in something that was important to you?
For the most part, the instructional methods and materials we use are designed to be engaging. But to misquote a famous American president, the same thing isn't going to engage all of the students all of the time.
(Note: Abraham Lincoln might not have said the words often attributed to him, but they were written by someone else long before Lincoln. This bit of literary investigating is worth reading.)
That's where the teacher comes in. Some of the most important aspects of teaching are figuring out what engages students, making it possible for these engagement triggers to happen, and helping students recognize what engages them.
There is no shortcut to solving this puzzle, but one element seems to be present in every successful solution: a meaningful interaction between the teacher and student. Sometimes it happens between the teacher and several students who share the same interests, but often it is a case of a teacher trying many approaches before finding the one that works with a given student.
Although the importance of engagement can't be overstated, there are two related constructs that must be considered. The first is fidelity of implementation, a topic I've covered in another blog. Even the most carefully designed instructional products or processes are unlikely to be successful if they are not implemented with fidelity. Fortunately, engagement increases the likelihood students will do their part to take advantage of well-planned learning opportunities and follow a productive learning path.
The second construct is effectiveness. In his book UnCommon Learning: Creating Schools That Work for Kids, Eric Sheninger points out engagement does not always equate to learning. An excerpt of the book discusses the relationship between engagement and technology, but the ideas are just as applicable to other aspects of education. The final sentence of the excerpt is very good advice: "Engagement, relevance, and fun are great, but make sure there is observable evidence that students are learning when integrating technology."
Engagement is an issue not only for learning, but also for assessment, both informal and formal. When students respond to assessment procedures without meaningful engagement, the outcomes don't represent what they know or don't know. In some informal research in which I've been involved, we have found disengaged performance is a bigger problem than most people realize. Others have proposed technical solutions to this problem, but nothing will be as effective as developing in students a willingness to participate meaningfully in assessments they recognize as being useful to them.
It is generally acknowledged that engagement is a serious issue when it comes to mandated accountability tests. Wouldn't it be wonderful if these unloved burdens were a little more useful and engaging? Soung Bae and Kari Kokka have considered this topic in a remarkable policy document that begins with a powerful statement:
"Although research has shown that student engagement is strongly related to performance on assessment tasks, especially for traditionally underserved subgroups of students, including students of color, students living in poverty, students with special needs, and students for whom English is a second language (Arbuthnot, 2011; Darling-Hammond et al., 2008; Walkington, 2013), increasing student engagement has not been the goal of standardized tests of content knowledge."
Let me close with a statement from NAEYC. It refers to the education of younger children, but it sounds to me as if it could apply to students of any age, and the rest of us:
"Ideally, teachers should use a wide range of engagement strategies and then masterfully facilitate their implementation. Not only do engagement strategies enable teachers to capture the interest of children as they learn the skills and concepts necessary for success in school, but children also experience what it feels like to be engaged in learning—a lifelong gift."

Seacrest's Alleged Stalker -- Book 'Em Danno!
TMZ just got video of Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker being taken to the LAPD station for booking.
Chidi Uzomah was arrested at 9:40 AM PT today, after showing up at the E! offices, where Ryan was working.
Uzomah had a knife on him when he showed up.
Uzomah was convicted last month of battery and two other misdemeanors after assaulting one of Seacrest's security guards outside an O.C. hospital. The judge placed him on 3 years probation and ordered him to stay away from Ryan.

Ian Pye and Sean O'Hare know how important technology is in a student's life. They founded MakoEducation, located in the North West of England, in the hopes of engaging youth by delivering innovative lessons and workshops in the modern age of media. They quickly achieved their goal and have since grown to deliver workshops to teachers, youth workers and trainers as well so they can gain a better understanding of the changing world of digital media.
One of the workshops they offer is a course on iStopMotion. It has been a huge hit with the students and teachers alike. "iStopMotion does a fantastic job of illustrating just how simple the process of animation can be," Ian says. "The concept of snap, move, snap, move is so obvious, and after just 30 seconds of using the app you can practically hear the cogs turning in the students' minds as they frantically think, 'Okay, I can use this to create this.'"
He personally thinks the onion-skinning feature of iStopMotion is a fantastic tool not just for practicality, but also as a learning tool to help explain what animation is. They appreciate simplicity, and it is the key to their approach to teaching stop motion animation.
A a whip-fast tour of the animation fundamentals combined with, what Ian calls, "the very intuitive iStopMotion app" is a surefire way to get MakoEducation participants up and animating in no time. Ian continues, "We find that this way, the animators spend less time watching us and more time doing what they really want to do – create. Obviously, we're always on hand to provide creative suggestions and technical support, but we think that learning via your own mistakes and having the ability to visualize your imagination are the best ways to learn and create."
MakoEducation certainly has great ideas for learning. Ian and Sean recently worked with primary school students to help them create animations on the topic of road safety. Each team took a rule or safety procedure and made a short advert to help promote road safety throughout the school and beyond. They also regularly help children between the ages of 10 and 16 to create animations of their choice; they're only limited by their imaginations. Ian says these types of sessions are great because it allows the students to flex their creativity; they come up with some truly fantastic ideas!
Another new idea MakoEducation recently put into action is their film club. Students between the ages of 10 and 19 are invited to join in the fun, where they learn processes like video production, animation, music recording and you guessed it … stop motion!
"We decided to include a small taster of stop motion animation in this series of workshops, as animation plays such a massive role in modern movie making," says Ian. "It was this inclusion that gave us the indication that participants would love to focus purely on animation, hence our most recent Animation Creation workshop series."
During the film club, the team utilizes technology like iPads, video cameras, audio recorders and lots of other media devices. Ian notes that using technology lessens the gap between teaching and actually doing.
"We always say the time in our workshops can be divided into 10% teaching and 90% doing," he says. "Technology like the iPad and iStopMotion is so intuitive to young people, meaning that instead of us spending most of the lesson time saying, 'Now if you can just press this button … okay, now go over to this screen … now look for this section…' we can just say, 'That's how it works. Now, what do you want to create?'"
Ian says that because the students don't have to spend time learning the given technology, they can learn the subject matter instead. He appreciates how technology lets MakoEducation and their students use animation as a learning device across the entire curriculum. He knows that because of this learning, MakoEducation will be able to fulfill their goals of expanding knowledge for a long, long time.
For more information on how MakoEducation is taking a modern approach to learning, check out their website. Be sure to take a look at their iStopMotion workshops, too! Visit the MakoEducation YouTube Channel.

26 Jan My Mail Person Will Know That I Filed Bankruptcy?
I received a phone call once from a very distressed client because I had placed on the outside of an envelope, United States Bankruptcy Court. Now the mailman knew that they filed bankruptcy and I have violated attorney client privilege. This was early on in my practice and a new scenario to me. I never publish either on my mailings or on telephone messages as to what type of law I practice just so people looking or listening would not know what my client was up to. Again this was a new scenario for me and I became curious as to what my clients were looking at. (This issue has risen again recently so I thought it might be helpful to revisit the mailing process.)
The clients brought the envelope to me. The envelope listed the return address as the United States Bankruptcy Court and my name as the attorney of record. I explained to them that I had no control over what the court published and it what manner. However, I did remind them that bankruptcy is a public forum. A colleague of mine, David Leibowitz, recently wrote an article about how the general public can discover your bankruptcy information through PACER. In addition to the mailings and PACER the filing of your case may be published in your town's newspaper.
The general rule of thumb is that where ever legal proceedings are published the bankruptcy information may be published too. There is nothing we can do to stop the publication as your creditors both known and unknown have the right to be informed of your bankruptcy filing. Keep in mind I practice in Kansas City, Missouri. Every town is different as to whether or not they publish the bankruptcy filings. If you are curious, pick up the paper and look in your Legal Notices section or call the newspaper directly and ask. I would even caution that court mailing procedures may differ from state to state. But in my area if you file bankruptcy, you and your creditors will be receiving envelopes with a return address of the United States Bankruptcy Court. If your postal carrier is anything like mine, his only thought is will he able to finish his route on time and without interference. Not whether or not you are in the middle of filing bankruptcy.
Remember that knowledge is power and the more knowledge you have as to how bankruptcy works the more power you will have to handle your case in a public forum.

Fluctuations with a power spectral density depending on frequency as $1/f^\alpha$ ($0<\alpha<2$) are found in a wide class of systems. The number of systems exhibiting $1/f$ noise means it has far-reaching practical implications; it also suggests a possibly universal explanation, or at least a set of shared properties. Given this diversity, there are numerous models of $1/f$ noise. In this dissertation, I summarize my research into models based on linking the characteristic times of fluctuations of a quantity to its multiplicity of states. With this condition satisfied, I show that a quantity will undergo $1/f$ fluctuations and exhibit associated properties, …

Couldn't Create an Account on HealthCare.gov?
A lot of people who went to HealthCare.Gov, the federal portal to Health Insurance Marketplaces, soon after it launched on Oct. 1 never got past Step One, creating a working user name and password.
Continue Reading Below
Now the folks in charge of the site say that function, at least, is working. In fact, they're so confident that they're e-mailing invitations to 275,000 people who got stuck somewhere in the process to come back and try again.
Should you? It wouldn't be a bad idea. If you need to get a plan that starts on Jan. 1, you have only until Dec. 15 to enroll and pay your initial premium. You don't want to get stuck on account creation on Dec. 14th.
To help you along, the HealthCare.gov team just published some tips and tricks for account creation (tips, we can't resist observing, that we suggested weeks ago), including:
- Check your e-mail (and spam) folders for an email from them entitled "Marketplace account created." If you don't see it, you didn't create an account.
- Clear your browser's history and cache.
- Don't keep trying with failed logins and passwords, because HealthCare.gov may have erased them. Create new ones.
If you feel brave, go on ahead and start filling out an application. But be aware that many people are still having trouble with this part. You might want to do some window-shopping for plans first. HealthCare.gov won't allow this, but we've come up with some workarounds that we'll discuss in our next blog.
Got a question for our health insurance expert? Ask it here; be sure to include the state you live in. And if you can't get enough health insurance news here, follow me on Twitter @NancyMetcalf.

A great little example of the risks around using paper for insurance. Clearly not an issue if insuring a ship or a factory, but as noted here, so many opportunities from being more digital.
Did he have insurance? He certainly can afford it. He earns more than $23 million a year and has been making that kind of money for a long time now. But we don't know for sure, because of the archaic systems we use that mean most of us carry proof of insurance as little pieces of paper in our cars. At its core, insurance is as digital as any industry there is—we basically track a whole lot of data on people, curate a mass of very precise promises and wire money—so it strikes me as odd that we turn the data into paper and PDFs and handle them manually. Why can't we leave the data in its native state and just make it available whenever and wherever the bits and bytes are needed?

Superman Red/Superman Blue
|"The Amazing Story of Superman-Red and Superman-Blue!"
"Superman Red/Superman Blue"
Cover of Superman Red/Superman Blue 1 (Feb 1998)
Art by Dan Jurgens.
|DC Comics
|Publication date
July 1963
February - June 1998
|Main character(s)
Superman Red/Superman Blue refers to two different comic book storylines published by DC Comics featuring Superman.
"The Amazing Story of Superman-Red and Superman-Blue!"[edit]
The original Superman-Red/Superman-Blue tale is an "Imaginary Story" that first appeared in Superman #162 (July 1963). The script was written by Leo Dorfman, with art by Curt Swan.
In the story, Superman is compelled to finish a list of unaccomplished goals, including the enlargement of the Bottle City of Kandor and eliminating crime and evil from Earth. In order to accomplish these goals, Superman invents a machine, powered by various types of kryptonite, that will increase his intelligence. The machine works, increasing Superman's intelligence a hundredfold, but with the unexpected side effect of splitting Superman into twin beings, one outfitted in an all-red Superman costume and the other in an all-blue version. The twins name themselves Superman-Red and Superman-Blue.
The Supermen, using their enhanced intellects, first repair Brainiac's "enlarging ray". They then create a means to bring all the fragments of Krypton together, creating a "New Krypton" (eliminating all existing kryptonite in the process), and successfully enlarge Kandor on its surface, freeing its citizens from their bottle prison. At the urging of Lori Lemaris, the Supermen create an underwater world for the citizens of Atlantis and arrange an interstellar voyage to transport them to their new home. The two Supermen go on to create an "anti-evil" ray which can cure criminal tendencies in anyone. They place the ray into satellites in orbit around the Earth, curing not only villains such as Lex Luthor and Mr. Mxyzptlk, but reforming Communists such as Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro. The reformed Luthor goes on to invent a serum that cures all known diseases, which the Supermen put into the water supply. Supergirl then releases the Phantom Zone inmates, also reformed by the ray, and they immigrate to New Krypton in a spaceship provided by the Legion of Super-Heroes.
With nearly all of the world's problems solved, the two Supermen now have the opportunity to deal with personal matters. The split allows them to resolve the love triangle between Superman, Lois Lane, and Lana Lang. Superman-Red proposes to Lois, while Superman-Blue asks Lana to marry him. Each woman claims her own Superman, and they have a triple wedding: Superman-Blue and Lana, Superman-Red and Lois, and Lucy Lane marrying Jimmy Olsen (since Lucy need no longer wait for Lois to marry before she does). Red decides to live on New Krypton with Lois, renouncing his powers and raising a family, while Blue remains on Earth and retires to devote his life to scientific research and starting a Super-family of his own.
Superman-Red and Superman-Blue appeared again in a story written by Bob Rozakis and Paul Kupperberg and illustrated by Adrian Gonzales and Vince Colletta and first published in German in Superman Album No. 1 in West Germany in 1981. The story was published in English in 1982 in the oversized Superman Spectacular (an unnumbered one-shot in the United States but published as No. 1 in a series in The United Kingdom.) In this story, red kryptonite causes Superman to be temporarily split into Superman-Red and Superman-Blue and the two Supermen battle Lex Luthor and Terra-Man.
Superman-Red and Superman-Blue appear in a panel in Infinite Crisis #5, when Alexander Luthor, Jr. is trying to fuse the many alternate Supermen.
"Superman Red/Superman Blue"[edit]
The second incarnation of Superman Red and Superman Blue began in a 1998 storyline. While temporarily deprived of the solar energy required to give him powers, Superman had developed energy-based abilities,[1] which eventually forced him to adopt a blue and white containment suit to prevent the energy dispersing. While retaining most of his abilities, he could now also sense different kinds of energy, including the trail of radioactivity from a passing van, bolts of electricity and magnetic tractor beams rather than his original heat vision. He was also able to absorb the radiation, although this was incredibly painful. He also gained the ability to turn his powers "off," though this took time to control as he inadvertently fried a toaster at home. This switch to Clark Kent also left him as vulnerable as a normal human, which was a bit of a surprise to him when he stubbed his toe while answering the phone. This version of Superman was referred to by some fans as "Electric Blue Superman".[citation needed]
In the Superman Red/Superman Blue one-shot (February 1998), a trap created by the Cyborg Superman working with Toyman, caused Superman to split into two beings who represented different aspects of his personality, though each believed himself to be the original. Superman Blue was the more cerebral entity, preferring to think his way out of situations and actually solve problems with his mind as well as his powers. Superman Red was more rash, but also more decisive, preferring action over taking the time to think. Over time, these two personalities grew more and more polarized and individual, to the point that neither entity wanted to become one Superman again.[2][3]
Both Supermen deeply loved Lois Lane; unlike in the earlier Red/Blue story, there was not another love interest for one of the Supermen to pair up with. Instead, they fought over Lois' affections, each with almost no consideration for her feelings; Lois lost her tolerance for this and essentially kicked them both out of the house until they could figure out how to unite.[4]
Perplexed, both Red and Blue flew to Antarctica to see if Kryptonian technology could solve the issue, but were met by a woman named Obsession, who had previously shown an incredible level of romantic lust for Superman. Then Maxima, another superpowered female admirer of Superman's (only this one was far more volatile), stepped in. While Obsession liked the idea of two Supermen, Maxima found the existence of two utterly unacceptable. A fight broke out between the women when Obsession offered to share them with the Amazon from Almerac, insulting Maxima's royal sensibilities. Superman Red and Superman Blue separated and reprimanded the combatants.[4]
Following a battle with the Millennium Giants (Cabraca, Cerne and Sekhmet), the two Supermen merged and Superman returned to his normal powers and original costume.[5] The explanation is vague; Superman felt he was "rewarded" for saving the world, although he later claimed that he returned to normal when his electromagnetic energy dispersed.[6]
Although Superman briefly returned to his electric-blue form when facing Brainiac-13 after he was apparently absorbed by Brainiac's energy conduits while trying to disrupt his power supply,[7] this was revealed to be the result of Brainiac 2.5–Brainiac-13's past self, hiding in Lena Luthor to avoid being deleted by his future self[8]–creating the electric Superman based on scans taken of Superman in that form, intercepting B-13's attempt to absorb Superman and uploading Superman's mind into the electric body to keep Brainiac-13 occupied while Superman's true body was restored in a LexCorp facility.[8]
Superman Red appears in Superman/Batman #25 alongside an army of alternate Supermen and Batmen.

The New 52[edit]
In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Superman's continuity was altered. However, in Action Comics vol. 2 #13, the "Electric Blue" suit is shown inside a display case at the Fortress of Solitude.[9]
DC Rebirth[edit]
The story arc "Superman Reborn" references Superman Red and Superman Blue by associating the New 52-era half of Superman with red and the older, other half with blue. The story concludes with the merging of both halves into one complete version of Superman whose history has been arranged from that of the halves.
Superman Blue appears in Dark Nights: Metal as a nightmare Superman hailing from the Dark Multiverse. He and two other nightmare Supermen attempt to stop Batman from rescuing the normal Superman but are unsuccessful in doing so.
In other media[edit]
- While not identified as "Superman Red", the Player 2 character in the 1988 Superman arcade game by Taito is a palette swap of the regular Superman with the blue and red parts of his costume changed to red and grey respectively.
- In the Legion of Super-Heroes episode "The Substitutes", Color Kid changes Superman to blue and red, resembling the pre-Crisis versions. In the episode "Dark Victory", Saturn Girl merges the minds of Superman and Superman X to combat Brainiac from within his mind, when this happens, as Superman's astral form is blue and Superman X's is red.
- Superman Blue appears in the crossover comic JLA/Avengers, when time distortions cause members of both teams to change into different appearances they had over the years. He is shown defeating the Destroyer.[10]
- Red and Blue Superman make an appearance in the Superman 75 Year Anniversary short.
- In the animated series, Justice League Action, Lex Luthor created a kryptonite-weapon to destroy Superman, but instead it split him into Superman Red and Superman Blue. Each Superman had half of the original's power, but Superman Red was aggressive and evil while Superman Blue was gentle and good. The weapon even did the same thing to Wonder Woman, Batman and Luthor, and the reds plotted to affect the entire world, except for Luthor Red, who was actually good and returned everything to normal.

Art and Event
Can we find a way into artistic work that illuminates the work with the Event? In the day devoted to art we will share ideas that may help us grasp how the event takes place and time in and through works of art, and how artistic experimentation can reveal to us how we are always already in the midst of the event. We will focus on attempts at harnessing the forces at work in and through the sensible in order to raise our awareness and enter the threshold of the event. This will be done by sharing personal experiences of this problem as well as concepts and operations taken from the chapter "The Event in Art" in The Event in Science, History Philosophy & Art by Ben-Aharon. From this work we will see how artistic practise in our time is already asking of us to become with the world. To raise an awareness of this requirement and its difficuties as well as perspectives of the possibilities it harbours, are the aims of our work on art and event.

Acting is an extremely competitive field. The reason is that you have people who enjoy the work, and others who are attracted to the possibility of fame and fortune. There is no question, that if you make it onto the big screen, there is the potential for massive returns. However, getting there does not happen overnight. Many of the world's most famous actors have experienced serious lows such as being homeless or working three or four jobs until they got their "big break." Nonetheless, if you have the talent and desire, you can move forward with your goal. Just do not expect it to be easy. For more tips on how to get into acting, read on.
Start with a Plan
There is a saying that states, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." There is also another one that says, "Life happens when you're busy making plans." Either way, you need an actionable set of items to reach. When driving, can you figure out where you are going without directions? The same is true of life and careers. Set up some realistic goals. To illustrate, "Get a role as an extra in a play" is more realistic than "Get a starring role in a big-budget movie." This is especially true if you are just starting out. You can find out even more by taking this Udemy course, How to Audition for Film and Television: Audition Bootcamp.
Plans can be altered. So, start with a timeline, as well. For example, you can write a goal such as "Get a role as an extra in a play by September," or something to that effect. You can also set short term goals such as, "Practice different accents daily." Once you reach a goal, you can tick it off and set another one that helps you to move further along with your dream career.
Understand the Basics
Make the effort to learn more about the fundamentals of acting. This can be everything from studying how to work with diverse types of monologue to emoting feelings, using hand gestures and more. Read about your favorite actors to determine how they got started in the field. Read some classic plays and practice some of the written dialogue.
Take an Acting Class
To get chosen for a role, you must first know how to act. Acting is a craft, even the most skilled and famous actors are continually looking for ways to improve their craft. Find an acting group where you can get hands on lessons and perform in front of an audience. If you can act alone, it might be much more difficult when you have a live audience. So, you have to get used to groups of people. The whole point of acting is to entertain. You want to appear natural and entertaining, not nervous. That takes much practice.
Try a wide variety of styles. Acting can be enjoyable because there is no monotony. So, try your hand at comedy, drama and improv. Directors want actors who can do it all. You then become more marketable to a wider audience. The last thing you want to be is typecast into a specific acting form, and eventually run out of good roles. Some actors who are very versatile include Robert Downey Jr., Julia Roberts, Amy Adams and Clark Gable, just to name a few.
Connect with Theater Groups in Your Area
This can be a community, commercial, high school or college theater. Develop friendships with fellow actors. Since you are interested in the same goals, you will have much to share and discuss. Practice with them, and get their feedback on your skills. Get to know their actor friends. This helps to expand your network, and it may lead to unforeseen opportunities.
You can also volunteer backstage. You can help with props, sets and costumes. This way, you have first-hand knowledge of all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.
Need help achieving a better "look"? Check out this blog, Five Video Tips to Help You Shine on Camera.
Make the Move
If you are serious about learning how to get into acting, you will have to move where you have the most opportunities. Getting into TV and film means you need to live where the casting directors live and work. That is New York or Los Angeles. If you want to stick to plays, New York will be your best bet. Of course, many shows and movies are shot outside of those cities such as Canada, North Carolina and Miami. However, to audition, you need to be in New York and Los Angeles.
Moving is never easy. To help the transition, have enough money saved for at least three months worth of expenses. This includes your rent, food, insurance and any other necessities you have to pay for. You should also try to get a job before moving, if possible. Otherwise, you will have to find a way to bring in an income until you get your first paying role. For the most part, you will need a job that is flexible.
Many actors started out waiting tables because they could change their work hours to accommodate their audition schedule. Freelancing of some sort can also be helpful when you need time to audition and read for a casting director.
Stay Committed
The world of acting has many ups and downs. Not every role you audition for will come your way. Sometimes studios want skill and a certain look. For instance, if the studio wants someone to play a 30-something single mother, they probably would not hire a 20-something or someone past their 40's. Don't let rejections get you down. They come with the territory. They also help you build a thicker skin and make you stronger.
You also want to give 100 percent to every role. When you are only halfheartedly into a role, it shows. Oscars and Tony awards are given to actors who literally transformed their entire being on camera. It is as if they are a completely different person. So, with every job, make the choice to commit yourself fully. It will pay off for you, in the end.
Do Not Take Anyone for Granted
Getting a good role also has to do with your personality. Be nice to everyone you meet, whether they are coworkers, agents or assistants. You never know if an assistant might one day become a film producer. If you treated them nicely, they might give you better consideration over someone who might have treated them poorly. In addition, to help you reach your goals, you should check out these two Udemy courses, Transform Self Doubt into Confidence and Play the Role.
