This method works only on Photoshop CS2, Photoshop CS4, Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS6 & Photoshop CC (Cloud).
And not on any other version of Photoshop.
So how that works?
We are going to work on this tutorial using mainly the smart object function that in Photoshop.
What is a Smart object?
"Smart object" is a function in Photoshop that we used to create this great package, the function let us edit the 3D layout inside a flat window and that make it easier for us to edit the 3D layout, with that we can always edit the 3D layout without the need of transform a flat picture to 3D one, and the best thing is that you can always go back and make more changes to the 3D layout. All you need to do is to enter the smart object, edit the flat layout and save it, after you will save it the 3D window will change automatically according to the flat layout.
We will start by opening "Cd-Cover1.psd" that you can find on "Cd Cover1" folder.
*The picture above is Cd-Cover1
In the picture below you can see the layers panel that Photoshop will display after opening the PSD file.
To enter the flat layout the place where you can make the changes to the 3D layout press twice on the icon that on the left side of the layer that called "CD layout", as you can see in the picture below:
After pressing twice on the icon Photoshop will open a new window that will display the flat CD layout,
and there you will be able to make the changes to the 3D layout.
You can see the new window that Photoshop opened in the picture below:
Do not close any one of the 2 windows because we will need both of them to stay open
(We will get back to the 3D window when we will finish editing the flat layout).
And this is how the new windows that Photoshop opened will look like:
In the middle there is the flat layout, and on the right side you will see the layers panel. We will work with the layers panel.
You can check the 2 pictures below and see what each layer does on the flat layout:
In the picture below you can see the layers panel:
In the picture below you can see how each layer affects the flat layout, the numbers in the picture above and in the picture below are the same for each part, that way you can see where the layer located on the layout.
If you going to add any layers pictures to the layers panel on the flat CD put them below the layer that called "Middle Circle".
Those 2 layers are covering in white the areas that are not going to display on the 3D layout, those 2 layers are locked so you wont be able to delete them or make any changes to them.
On each layer that have a color box you can change its color by pressing twice on the color box, and then chose the new color on the color picker and just press ok.
If you want to change the text press twice on the text box icon that on the left side of the text layer that you want to change, and write the new text you want in there.
If you want to change the color of the text, select the text layer that you want to change, then go to the tools bar
and chose the "type tool" (the one with the T icon) and you will see in the top windows of Photoshop a color box showing up,
press on the box and then chose the new color that you want.
As you can see in the picture below in steps:
If you want to add a picture to the design, put the picture above the layer that called "PUT IMAGE HERE".
If you want to hide the layer that say put image here press on the eye icon that on the left of that layer:
You can do the same to all the layers that you want to hide.
Now change the flat layout to the design that you want. After changing the design to your needs you will have to save the document, you can do that by pressing the shortcut "ctrl+s" or just go to the file panel and click on save.
After saving go back to the window that you had on the start (the window with the
3D layout) as you can see in the picture below:
And there you will see how the changes that you made to the flat layout affect the 3D layout. And if you didn't like something on the 3D layout just press again on the smart object and you can make the changes again.

Easy vegan stir fried vermicelli noodles for the whole family, so healthy and tasty!
Looking for an easy and satisfying meal for the busy midweek after work? Well, these simple vegan stir fried vermicelli noodles offer a delicious treat. Healthy and full of flavor, they make a perfect budget friendly dinner for the whole family.
The vermicelli noodle has a fine, delicate texture which goes well with thinly sliced vegetables. It comes in dry form available in most Asian supermarkets or even some major grocery chains. I always keep a packet handy because it is very versatile for a convenient meal like this one. It cooks in no time and has a long shelf life too.
The best part of this dish is that you could throw in any combination of vegetable ingredients and it still tastes good. I like adding shiitake mushrooms for the savory umami flavor, and I use tofu for the protein. The sesame seeds are there for an extra nutty flavor.
Hope you enjoy this easy vegan stir fried vermicelli noodles!

The lineup steadily remains diverse, as it brings onto the stage some of Cebu's most highly immersed bands Drop Decay, Shuffled, and Bethany.
The Fair Park Market awaits spectators as well, hosting some of the favorite and up-and-coming food merchants in the city, where students can go and find festival merchandise, local food brands, carnival games, the Marriage Booth and "That Booth called Tadhana".
Meant to engage school unity and healthy inter-school rivalry, squads of students can sign up and compete with other barkadas in games such as Slip and Slide Kickball, Patintero, Japanese/Capture the Flag, Tug of War, Shoot or Dare Pong. Squads get P100 off of the ticket price plus free UNIVERCITY shirts when they register their teams.

Like the entrance to a home, the front yard is the first impression people have to your home. As such, not only do you want it to look pleasing to the eye, it needs to be functional.
Items to consider when renovating your front yard can include the below.
House Number
A house number needs to be clearly visible from the road, to allow for ease of address location. Also, the house number needs to be weatherproof to withstand any weather conditions.
Numbers made out of brass, acrylic, zinc, steel or wrought iron are all terrific solutions.
Like a house number, the letterbox needs to be clearly visible and easy to access for both yourself and the post person.
Again, be sure to select a letterbox that will be waterproof and suitable for all-weather conditions.
Consider a lock on your letterbox and be sure to place a "No Junk Mail" sticker on the façade of the letterbox if you don't want to receive any advertising material.
Path Access
Be sure to have adequate paving leading to your front door. Think about the flow of the path. Will the path be straight or will it meander?
Whatever the choice, be sure to select a suitable path material. Bricks, pavers, concrete and natural stone are all very good options.
Car Access
Be mindful as to how you, and any visitors, will access your property via a car.
Will your driveway be open with no gate?
Will you require a security fence that is remotely operated?
Furthermore, what will your driveway be made from? Concrete, crazy paving, bricks are just a few suggestions.
Ultimately, your selected driveway will depend on the length, width, gradient and your budget.
When selecting a doorbell, will you require something battery operated or will a door knocker be adequate?
Think about your main living areas in the home and their relation to the front door.
If your living areas are at the back of the house, a battery operated doorbell will be advised.
Furthermore, consider the positioning of your doorbell or door knocker. It needs to be in a convenient, easily reached location that is not obstructed by anything such as plant creepers etc.
What security will be adequate for your home? Consider items such as intercoms, senor lights, security screen front doors, door locks and bolts.

SBM Taxation Section Honors Roberts for Exemplary Contributions
Veteran tax attorney Wayne Roberts was a recipient of the L. Hart Wright Service Award, presented by the Taxation Section of the State Bar of Michigan at its recent annual meeting.
The award is given in recognition of an attorney's service and contribution to the Taxation Section, the Section Chair, and the legal and tax community in Michigan.
In her annual report, outgoing Taxation Section Chair Marjorie Gell highlighted Roberts' contributions to the section in the past year. She noted in particular Roberts' work on legislative initiatives, including Enrolled House Bill 4003, which created an Offer-in-Compromise program for Michigan taxpayers.
"Much of the credit for the adoption of this legislation goes to Taxation Section Past Chair Wayne Roberts, who originally brought the need for such legislation to the attention of the Tax Council," Gell stated. "Wayne drafted the original version of House Bill 4003 that was introduced in both 2004 and 2014.
"The Taxation Section is proud to have been involved in the adoption of this legislation which represents sound tax policy and replaces Michigan's prior policy, under which no compromise of a tax liability was ever allowed, regardless of the circumstances."
Gell also noted Roberts' contribution to Senate Bill 100, which brought closure to the "pay-to-play" requirement to file a Michigan tax dispute in the Court of Claims; his participation in the Past Chairs Advisory Group; and his support of the Tax Council on Taxation Section matters.
"We recognize that your past efforts on Council have led to the furtherance of one of the Section's core missions, which is to achieve an 'equitable, efficient, and workable tax system'," Gell said in presenting the award.
Named in honor of one of the Taxation Section's most accomplished and revered former chairs, the L. Hart Wright Service Award was created through an endowed, discretionary program that allows the Taxation Section Chair to recognize exemplary contributions and service. This is the first year the awards have been made. Roberts and attorney Rick Siriani were the first ever recipients of the award.
Roberts' practice includes all aspects of federal and state tax planning and tax litigation. He represents both closely-held and Fortune 100 companies in tax disputes with the IRS, the Michigan Department of Treasury, and revenue departments in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Tennessee, New York, California and numerous other state and local taxing jurisdictions.
With over 1,200 members, the Taxation Section of the SBM is a dynamic, active organization offering a broad range of events and activities. Members include tax practitioners from small, medium, and large law firms, solo practices, accounting firms, corporations, government, and law schools.

He always has his information handy so you can reach him at any time with questions. Most important, he always returns phone calls and texts in a timely manner. I have recommended Milton to all of my friends and will continue to use Milton when buying other properties in the future. ~ Juan Medina Jr.

Met Jose this weekend to see a property that I was interested in. He was friendly, communicated well with me via phone and showed me the property I was interested in. He even came prepared with additional listings that he though I would like. Nice that he took that extra mile to provide quality service to the client. ~- Henry Artigues

Working with Luis was the best. As soon as he put my home for sale, he worked hard to have viewings almost every single day. By week 3 we had an offer and the house was under contract. He made the process of selling my home so easy and was always available for any questions or concerns I had. Definitely happy with our experience and I look forward to working with him soon on purchasing our next home. ~ Stephanie
Luis Dominguez, 305-962-9592

Daniel was very helpful and patient as he helped my wife and I find our dream home. He showed us homes all across Miami and no question was a bother (and believe me we had a lot of questions). He was knowledgeable and professional. We could not have found the perfect house to start our family without him. We would recommend him to anyone listing or buying a house. We enjoyed the experience so much and trust him that he is the listing agent on our old house now. ~ jvankatwyk
Daniel Hernandez, 786-256-2148
Daniel Hernandez is very knowledgeable. This was my family's 2nd experience with him. The 1st time he had shown us the house we're still presiding in. 2nd time he assisted in the Selling of 1 of our properties in Horizons West; he had the patience to await our tenant to move out. Highly recommended. ~ user78308839

Ralph Diaz is one of the best realtors we've ever used, he helped us sell our home fast and at a price higher then we expected. He was always on top of things.

Ralph was very knowledgeable of the area we were looking to buy a home. He kept in constant contact with us, which was very important since we were living out of state. He kept us informed every step of the way, including presenting our offer and guiding us through the process leading to closing, which took place within 30 days. I was impressed with the professionalism he exhibited throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend him to family or friends looking to buy or sell in area in the future. ~ B. Turkington

Ever since I put away my winter snowmen and got out my spring decor, my kitchen wall has been bare! YIKES! So, I've made a wall hanging just for spring! You can tell what designers have influenced my creation...Pat Sloan, if you are reading this- I mean you!!
I LOVE coneflowers, so they have to be included. I also really love the garden themed border fabric...it is sooooo old...been in my stash for years and years....and I've used it in allot of projects. I am still trying to use up my stash as much as possible rather than buy more fabric. That was one of my New Years resolutions this year. I even had that cool nest fabric!! :-)
I drew the flowers, stems, leaves, nest, eggs and vase on the paper side of fusible, ironed the pieces onto the chosen fabrics and then cut them out and ironed them onto the pieced background. I made the quilt sandwich with batting and backing- pinned together. Then I straight-stitched around all the edges of the appliques first, then did the quilting free-motion. The inner background was just curlicues and the border is done in leaves and vines. I just can't seem to quilt without adding some leaves in there... What's you favorite quilting motif?
I really love that quilt hanger. It's neat because the two branches have holes drilled into the ends and you just cut a dowel to the size of your quilt and stick them on it and hang it up! I bought it online at McKenna Ryan's web site http://www.pineneedles.com/ .
I thought first about doing a rabbit and eggs and such...but then figured flowers were not Easter specific and could stay up longer. I like the way it turned out and it took me only 2 hours to quilt it. But those 2 hours did make my recovering shoulder ache...but worth it to have my kitchen wall decorated!! YEA!!! No on to the next project! God Bless! Polly :-)


text: Red Scare is one of those labels that seems to either find average bands, or bands that are doing something special. Holy Mess aren't quite a Holy Mess but they lack any originality. The Midwestern punk sound is great but is getting very over-saturated. Yes it's catchy at times but why am i going to listen to this when there are Banner Pilots, Dillinger Fours, Lawrence Arms? Those guys do it better.

Wicked sleeping bag
This sleeping bag is an excellent choice. Have used it for camping all year round. Can unzip the feet in the warmer months to increase airflow or simply unzip fully to create a blanket. The choice is yours.

what is the hip width?
BEST ANSWER: Hi Mike,
The hip width for the Extra Large Escapade 700 is approx. 86cm.
As it is a rectangular style sleeping bag with a slight taper through the footbox the hip is about the same width as the shoulder.

I downloaded the Tiggly apps: Chef, Cardtoons and Addventure that came with our Tiggly Math product. When we first downloaded and used Chef (in December 2016) the sound worked. At some point (I don't remember exactly when), it stopped working. I redownloaded the apps, and have checked the issues in your troubleshooting guide (described here: http://support.tiggly.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2032478-sound ) and the sound settings are all fine.
Sound works for other apps on our iPad and also for videos, music, etc. Just not with any of the Tiggly apps.
We have:
iPad Air
iOS 10.3.2
I sent this info above to customer support and the responses I have gotten are to ask questions to which to answers were already provided in my original email. I would appreciate a response from someone who can read a basic email and understand the information I provided and can provide a solution.
Hi there,
We have forwarded your message to our programmers to look at this again.
Thank you for your patience.
Hi Kim,
Our co-founder, Azi, would like to help you troubleshoot this issue. Can you email firstname.lastname@example.com a good time that she could call you to help troubleshoot the issue?
Thank you.

It started off a normal enough day...getting up on time & getting the kids ready for school. One thing that I am doing again is praying in the morning before ever leaving my room. This is a habit that I have gotten out of. Probably because I felt, no take that back...because I felt that I pray all the time, why set time aside. Well I know that I need that time alone with God to be right with Him and to remember to rely on Him no matter what happens in the day. Well today has been a day that has tested (or maybe tempted), my thoughts & my faith.
So after the fallout, where do you go? I turned to God and asked for clarity today. I don't have that clarity yet, I am still blinded by my one sided thought, but I do know that I asked for forgiveness and I just pray that the situation that came to a head this morning will be handled with love from both me and the other person tomorrow when we talk again with a fresh day on our side. It hurts me so much when I unintentionally hurt someone, especially a friend. It really truly grieves my spirit & I know that she has already forgiven me for my thoughtlessness, now I need to forgive myself. It is hard at times to forgive yourself when you mess up.
The word of God says in 1 Peter 5:5
In the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you,
clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Funny thing...this is exactly what Brother Tim preached on this past Sunday. Real life application for real life learning I suppose is in order for me this week. I just pray that I am obedient to where God is going to take me. I don't want to be stubborn & I don't want my pride or ego to get in the way & I really really need to shake this feeling like I lost a friend.
I guess that assessment that we did a few months back is right & really quiet accurate, because I reread it after my things came to a head this morning. I wanted to see where I went wrong & I do believe that the assessment hit my personality right on the head! That is very scary & humbling all at the same time.
~Peace & Blessings~

North Florida Speedway
Whitener wins finale, steals UDLMCS title
LAKE CITY, Fla. (Nov. 24) — Mark Whitener of Middleburg, Fla., overtook Keith Nosbisch of Valrico, Fla., in the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series points chase Saturday with a victory in the season finale at North Florida Speedway.
Whitener led all 40 laps of the Harvey Jones Memorial to pocket $3,000 and overcome a 70-point deficit in the points chase to earn his second UDLMCS championship. His first came in 2010.
Nosbisch ran just outside the top five most of the race — not good enough to keep a winning Whitener from winning the title — but had a flat right rear tire late in the race and finished 15th.
Ivedent Lloyd Jr. of Ocala, Fla., finished second with Richard Ferry of Jacksonville, Fla., third on a chilly night at Lake City. Kyle Van Sickle and Kyle Bridges rounded out the top five. Christian Augspurger of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., who finished third in points behind Whitener and Nosbisch, was 10th after recovering from a lap-15 spin.
Harvey Jones Memorial: (1) Mark Whitener, (2) Ivedent Lloyd Jr., (3) Richard Ferry, (4) Kyle Van Sickle, (5) Kyle Bridges, (6) Adam Bedenbaugh, (7) Ryan Van Sickle, (8) Bo Allen, (9) Brandon Dewitt, (10) Christian Augspurger, (11) Cecil Eunice, (12) Jay Johnson, (13) Adam Parrish, (14) David Crews, (15) Keith Nosbisch, (16) Austin Dowling, (17) Scott Moore, (18) Buster Delay, (19) Larry Anderson, (20) Cory Hupp, (21) Michael Heard, (22) Travis Rhoden, (23) Shawn Taylor, (24) Win Ingersol.

I found this list from a blog I used to keep when I was 14 (almost 10 years ago). It was written by a good guy friend of mine. All are still very true!
1. Whatever u do, don't just show up at their house… they run around in their underwear just like we do.
2. DON'T CHEAT ON THEM. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they will find out and you will be mud.
3. Beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your butt at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the hat.
4. NEVER miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.
5. DON'T refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.
6. If they slap you hard, you DESERVED it.
7. DON'T be afraid to touch them if you want to. If they're going out with you in the first place, it's because they like being in your arms.
8. If you DON'T sleep with them, do not tell your friends that you did.
8.5 If you DO sleep with them, DON'T tell your friends that you did.
9. You CAN be dirty minded in private, really… most of them are not offended by it.
10. not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.
11. Most of them DON'T mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a prick.
11.5. Do you honestly need all your money that much? Be a man, pay all the time!
12. Every girl should eventually get THREE THINGS from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts, and a really pretty ring. Even if it's not a serious relationship.
13. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.
14. If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick the crap out of him.
15. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.
16. NEVER , ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.
17. go to a chick flick once in a while. she DOESN'T care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.
18. You're dead meat if you CAN'T get along with their pets, parents and best friends. Be PRINCE CHARMING to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.
19. DON'T flirt with their moms… that's just freaky.
20. DON'T be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like crap, so be UNDERSTANDING.
21. If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.
22. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better introduce her as your girlfriend.
23. DON'T stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.
24. If they complain that something hurts, rub it for them without being asked.
25. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very GENTLE .
26. Memorize their freakin birthdays. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life.
27. DON'T marinade the cologne, but smell good.
28. DON'T give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or ANNIVERSARY or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.
29. If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt you more if you draw it out.
30. After you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.

FIFA Ultimate Team is a major game play modes, where players have the opportunity to ride their own teams, using athletes from different leagues and nationalities. Recently, FIFA 15 Coins hane received some major changes to your athletes sale system. Check the news.
Fixed prices
Named Price Ranges, the new function came to the game with the mission to set limits to the value of purchase and sale of players in the Ultimate Team mode.
The system is "invisible" and at first does not influence negatively on any aspect of the game. From now on, to try to list a player for sale in the game auctions, players will be informed of the minimum and maximum value for the sale.
The numbers depend directly on the quality and popularity of the athlete on the way, and also serve to help inexperienced players to refrain from any big mistakes in selling their players.
The end of the Coins for sale
Now will also be required to add a price of "Buy Now" to all its players. This will help prevent the use of bots infamous, used for automatic buying players listed at prices below average.
Even with the various promises, the great cause of the changes are parallel sales game currencies held in many of the internet trading sites. In this type of transaction, the buyer list a crappy player by the amount of coins you bought the seller (which is always much higher than the value of the letter), which in turn buy that letter.
The activity bothered EA and the community of players, since, in addition to decreasing sales of FIFA Points (the official currency of the game sold by the company), still left the game unbalanced, with extremely strong teams achieved forms " illegal ".
By limiting values, it will be impossible to post letters "worthless" at high prices, preventing this type of trading. Change is extremely welcome, and promises to make more fair and accessible market for all.
EA also stated that the new system is a first attempt to "fix things", and plans to update values and rules as needed. The fixed prices are available for all platforms, and are identical in all versions.

As previously hinted at, I don't have a boyfriend. If I were to call out the person/place/thing in my life that is most like my boyfriend, it would undoubtably be Netflix. When I come home to my Netflix after a long day at work, all I want to do is open a bottle of wine and hang out for a few hours of undisturbed bliss. Is that so much to ask? Since I have no life, I have watched pretty much every good movie Netflix has to offer. (And most of the bad ones, too.) Here are the best movies you may have missed because they weren't box office blockbusters, and you were out hanging out with friends or something. (Who needs friends when you've got a website that plays your favorite movies INSTANTLY?!)
1. Dakota Skye
This movie is basically my greatest fear: Dakota Skye can see the truth in any lie she hears. Um- like I really want to know what the McDonalds cashier is thinking of me for ordering two large fries and a Diet Coke for lunch and I ask "This is, like, healthier than a burger, right?" LIE TO ME! Dakota encounters much more serious problems than the McDonalds cashier thinking she's a fatty. Her boyfriend and her friends pretty much consistently lie to her. Some are white lies- some are more serious grievances. She's basically in a downward spiral of life-hating-ness, when she meets Jonah, a stoner boy who doesn't lie to her- ever. It's an adorable alt romance that made me laugh, cry, and wish I had a superpower.
2. Ira & Abby
Ok obvi the only thing you need to know about this movie is that the star of the movie is also the luckiest woman in the world, aka John Hamm's longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt. She is so freaking adorable, it makes me want to vomit. She stars as Abby, a free spirited Manhattanite with a pension for falling in love easy. She plays opposite Chris Messina, who is an uptight typical New Yorker. After meeting and getting married very quickly, they realize they have to BUM BUM BUM... get to know each other.
3. Broken English
Broken English is actually in my Top 10 List of Favorite Movies of All Time. It stars Parker Posey as neurotic single New Yorker, feeling the pressure to find a husband. (Basically the story of every girl living in Manhattan.) When she encounters the super hot, super sexy, super french Julian, as beautifully portrayed by Melvil Poupaud, he shakes things up in her life in a way most of us only dream of. (Trust me- he's probably the only guy in the world who can make the name Melvil sexy.) This movie made me want to spend the rest of my life in Paris, chasing after beautiful men and not understanding any of the sexy sounding words that come out of their mouths.
4. Wristcutters: A Love Story
Warning: If you're squeamish at the sight of blood, skip the first 5 minutes of this movie. I mean- it's in the title. Come on. Wristcutters tells the story of Zia, who is trapped in a weird afterlife place reserved for people who commit suicide. It stars Patrick Fugit, the adorable kid from Almost Famous, who was also in Saved! (which, if you haven't seen, you totally should.) He picks up two friends, one of which is a girl (oooooooo! I sense a love connection!), and some interesting stories on his way to find the people in charge and get sent back to life.
5. Luke + Brie Are On A First Date
An adorable tale of the awkwardness of a first date. This is the most honest movie I've seen in a very long time. It depicts the reality of trying to get to know someone, while simultaneously working to look like you're not trying too hard. Do you hold hands? Do you get another drink? Do you kiss at the end of the night? We all struggle with it. And this movie confronts it head on.

After three years of living in Fishtown followed by five years of living in Northern Liberties I've learned one thing: Philadelphia has a lot of litter. It's gross. People throw trash in the street all the time. Do they think it's like going to a movie theater when someone will clean up after them when the movie ends?
But it's more than that. Trash day can get super messy: Lazy trash collectors don't seem to mind when items fall out of cans and onto the ground; wind blows trash and recycling through the streets; bums and trash pickers go through your trash and leave a mess.
What it comes down to is a city filled with filth. How can we expect people to have respect for their neighborhoods when they're littered with garbage?
On Twitter I posted a simple question to Mayor Michael Nutter: What is your plan for all the litter in our streets? Fishtown, No Libs, S. Philly are a mess … and getting worse. Read more about this story on PBJ.com.

Nymphomaniac appetizer - Chapter 6: The Eastern and the Western Church (The Silent Duck) from Zentropa on Vimeo.
Another day, another lascivious clip -- ahem, "appetizer" -- from "Nymphomaniac."
The latest marks the sixth that's emerged since June, in addition to character posters and a trailer. We've already seen Shia LaBeouf strip down for a graphic sex scene, and now Charlotte Gainsbourg is the subject of what looks like a lewd S&M-style tryst. Titled "Chapter 6: The Eastern and the Western Church (The Silent Duck)," the clip's synopsis offers this mysterious description:
The Eastern Church is often referred to as the Church of Joy, and the Western Church as the Church of Suffering.
Should you make a mental journey from Rome eastwards, you'll find that you move away from guilt and pain, and towards light and joy.
However, what Joe comes to learn is that pain and pleasure can be closer than you'd think.
The LaBeouf clip was removed from YouTube because of its graphic nature, which might explain why this one was posted to Vimeo instead. In it, Gainsbourg, whose character is named Joe, unwraps a racy gift and strips down so it can be put to use.
A cut-down version of "Nymphomaniac," directed by Lars von Trier ("Dogville," "Melancholia"), will premiere in Denmark on Dec. 25 before making its way to other countries in the early months of 2014. No U.S. release has been scheduled, but the full five-hour version is also supposed to hit theaters sometime next year.

With dirty-minded director Aiden Starr spewing provocative orders from behind the camera, hot, tattooed Rachael Madori shows us her anal gaping and winking talent. The big-assed, cute-faced slut with the shaved-side 'do plays with a butt plug, spreading her cheeks and farting. Muscular Robbie Echo fucks her mouth to drooling and chokes her to gagging; Rachael deep-throats his prick. He fucks her hard, squeezing her natural tits with her leg up on his shoulder. 'God, I love cock,' she groans, and soon she's begging for an anal stuffing. After Robbie eats her shaved pussy, she takes a howling anal ride. Doggie-style ass pounding thrills her. Robbie creams her big buttocks, and Aiden feeds her the gunk!

Protects against data theft by controlling which removable devices can connect via USB, FireWire, and PC Card. Can remember to block or allow specific devices.
Doesn't control removable media (such as floppy disks, CD/DVD, SD cards). No configuration options other than deletion of all remembered settings.
Bottom Line
Though just a shadow of its corporate big brother, Safend Protector, Safend Personal Protector still keeps miscreants from slurping your data into an iPod or other removable device. It's very simple and, at least for now, free.
the enterprise-scale safend protector locks down all the end points of a company's network, such as removable media, usb ports, and wireless. if a pod-slurping mata hari tries to drain corporate secrets into her fashionable mp3 player, safend's digital membrane technology stops her. now you can get a taste of this protection for your home computer by using safend personal protector (spp), which specifically manages usb, firewire, and pc card devices. it's substantially less ambitious than its big brother, but (at least for now) it's free.
using spp couldn't be easier. the first time it sees a new device, it asks you whether to make the item available, much the way a personal firewall asks you to verify that a new program can access the network. assuming you have administrator-level windows privileges on the pc, you can choose allow or block, and usually you'll tell the utility to remember your decision. anytime a new item is connected, you're given the same choice, as long as you can provide your windows admin credentials.
if the person logged on to the pc has only limited-level windows rights, an administrator can still enter the credentials necessary to authorize a new device. in windows safe mode you can't approve new devices, but those already marked as allowed can connect. one warning: don't try this on your new vista system; spp supports win xp and windows server 2003 only.
on installation, the product asked me to allow or block several memory-card-reader slots and the system's firewire adapter. normally you'll get a message about built-in devices such as these only when you first install the product. blocking these would have completely disabled the computer's ability to read memory cards and connect with firewire devices, so i allowed them, then plugged in every compatible gadget i could find. in almost every case, spp asked whether to allow or block access, and it correctly remembered what to do when i plugged in the same device again. the only quirk involved two physically identical thumb drives that once held press releases. blocking one blocked both, and allowing one allowed both, because spp identifies a device by its vendor id, product id, and serial number. these two drives had the same vendor and productand no serial numbers. but since the current usb mass storage class bulk-only transport specification requires a serial number, this problem should come up only with older devices, and even then, they'd have to be otherwise identical.
just to see what would happen, i slotted in the sd card from a camera. as you'd expect, spp didn't complain, because i'd already told it to allow access for the card reader itself. i then tried to block the card reader, but i couldn't. the management console doesn't offer any kind of per-device configuration adjustment, just a factory settings button that clears the settings for all remembered devices. but the company designed spp to protect removable items, and for those, this isn't a serious issue. i'd like to see a list of controlled devices and be able to configure them individually, but you can change the settings for any external hardware when you plug it in. each time you connect a device, a tooltip gives you the option of changing the remembered setting. and spp doesn't promise to block access to memory cards; i was just pushing the envelope.
with systems old enough to have floppy disk drives, a mata hari can still copy your data (in 1.4mb chunks). a really brazen thief could steal data by burning it to an internal cd/dvd drive, but the software would block a plug-in burner. both theft methods carry a far greater risk of detection, though, than does plugging in an ipod or thumb drive. in any case, safend plans to extend spp's protection to removable media in a future version.
safend personal protector prevents theft of data through your home computer's ports, but provides quite limited security compared with the corporate version. on the other hand, it's free, and easy to use. in six months or so, safend may charge for it. if so, i'd want the software's capabilities to expand in kind.

LiU HDRv Repository - IBL
Image based lighting (IBL) is one of the key applications of HDR imaging (What is IBL?). Here, we display how IBL can be extended through the use of HDRv sequences. The benefit of using HDRv sequences instead of single HDR images (as in ordinary IBL) is that HDRv makes it possible to capture time varying lighting conditions or spatial variations in the scene illumination. It is also possible to use computer vision algorithms to model and reconstruct the captured scene with detailed information describing both the direct light sources and the background illumination in full HDR.
The video displays example renderings from two scenes captured in Norrköping, Sweden.
The HDRv setup used (see below) enables the lighting from the real world scene to be captured at
the position of the virtual helicopter in each frame.
A drawback of the method used in the video above is that the illumination used in each frame only is captured at a single point in space (at the position of the mirror sphere). This means that the technique does not capture how the incident lighting varies from position to position over the helicopter body. In many cases it is therefore necessary to model or reconstruct the 3D scene and extract the direct ligth sources and geometries that cast shadows. The image below displays an example scene that has been captured, reconstructed, and populated with virtual furnitures (click images for high resolution versions).
Four renderings of the virtual furnitures placed into the captured scene. Click images for high-resolution version.
A panorama image captured in the real scene.
Virtual furnitures placed into the recovered scene model.
Our IBL pipeline for capture and modeling of the lighting taking into account also complex spatial variations in the scene illumination is described in the (open access) Computers & Graphics publication: Spatially varying image based lighting using HDR-video, the EUSIPCO 2013 paper Temporally and Spatially Varying Image Based Lighting using HDR-Video, and in this thesis.
The image above displays a comparison between traditional IBL using a single light probe (left) and using a lighting environment including 3D geometry that was built from a large number of HDR light probe images captured from an HDRv sequence (right). It is evident that the traditional IBL method cannot capture the spatial variations in the scene illumination. This can be seen from the shadow cast by the window and reflection of the light sources in the photograph on the wall behind the sofa. The scene was modeled by Sören Larsson, RayLab.
The IBL scene capture is based on a 4 Mpixel global shutter HDRv camera with a dynamic range of more than 10.000.000 : 1 at 30 fps. The image displays the HDRv camera in a real-time light probe (RTLP) setup. The camera is capturing the environment through the reflection in a mirror sphere. This yields a close to 360 degree panorama at each capture position.
A scene is usually captured using a combination of panoramic light
probe sequences, and sequences with a smaller field of view to maximize the resolution at regions of
special interest in the scene. The panoramic sequences ensure full angular coverage at each position
and guarantee that the information required for IBL is captured. The system yields high resolution HDR environment
maps that can be directly used for IBL rendering or scene reconstruction.
The image below displays an older RTLP-system developed in a collaboration with the camera manufacturer SICK-IVP.
The first version, implemented already in 2003, was capable of capturing images with dynamic range of 10.000.000 : 1 and a resolution
of 960 x 512 pixels at 25 frames per second. The 2004 Eurographics short paper:
A Real Time Light Probe (6.3 MB .pdf) gives an in depth overview of the implementation details of this imaging system.
This imaging system has been used in a number of projects directed towards capturing, processing and rendering with spatially
varying lighting conditions. We call this extension of IBL: Incident Light Fields (ILF). This was first presented in the EGSR 2003 paper
Capture, processing and rendering with incident light fields (3.1 MB .pdf), and later extended
to include unrestricted capture, more efficient storage and rendering, as well as extraction and editing of the light sources in the scene in the EGSR 2008 paper
Free form incident light fields (3.1 MB .pdf).
The video displays an HDRv sequence of a mirror sphere (left) capturing a panoramic image of the environment. Each HDR video frame accurately captures the scene ligthing in the scene and is used as source of illumination in the corresponding rendering to the right.
The image below displays one of the first renderings using captured and reconstructed real world lighitng exhibiting strong spatial variations. The lighting was captured using around 600 HDR light probe images distributed along a tracked 1D path in space. The tracking information makes it possible to geometrically relate the light probes and reconstruct the sharp shadows created by a blocker in front of the projector light source.
Image based lighting (IBL) (Wikipedia) is a technique for capturing real world lighting conditions and use this information to create photo-realistic renderings of virtual objects such that they appear to placed into the real scene. The real world lighting is usually captured as a single 360 degree panoramic HDR image. Since the HDR image covers the full dynamic range in the scene, the captured information can be used as a measurement of the ligthing conditions. Since the image is captured as a panorama, it descibes the lighting incident from any direction onto the capture position.
The image displays an IBL example with the panoramic HDR image in the top left and three renderings where the captured lighting
information is used to illuminate the virtual toy cars. The panoramic HDR image is displayed as a so called latitude longitude panorama,
which is a nice format for viewing omni-directional images.
The equipment and methods described above extend this technique to include temporal or spatial variations in the captured lighting environment.

I pre-ordered the Sims 4 Island Living Expansion Pack and it wont give me a download option. It simply says it is unlocked. I have reset origin as well as uninstall and reinstall but I still can't download. What is going on? I don't want to have to uninstall the entire Sims 4 game it will take hours to reinstall it plus the packs.
I bought Island Living for Sims 4 and redeemed the code, but a connection pop-up occurred and there is no button to install the content. In the actual game, when I hovered over the Island Living symbol, it says download to use but I don't know how to download it. Please help as soon as possible.
I've had this same problem. Turns out the game won't be available for download till midnight EDT (the official launch time). After that, it should work fine. Hope this was helpful.
I had the same problem, and this was at the time that the Expansian Pack should be available. However when I logged out of Origin and logged in again, it was possible to download.
ive tried that yet still nothing ....
Having the same problem. Rebooting then restarting Origin had no effect.
Guess I won't be preordering again in the future.....
I have the same issue too!
It refuses to download for me.
It's very annoying. Usually I wait til the day after to log in to the game, but I was so excited for this EP and decided to download it after release :P
Alas, it's not working...
Im having the same problem. ive repaired the game. updated. signed out and back in. nothing works. very annoying.
go to 'My Game Library', then click on Sims 4, then click on 'more', then click on expansion packs, then scroll all the way down to Island Living and click download.
"Download doesn't come up as an option. Just "details". Its like it Origin thinks its installed but the game disagrees. Have now tried removing mods and starting a new game. Still nothing

A flash cooler is ideal for dispensing ice cold seltzer, juice, tea and beers when there is limited refrigeration and it is impracticable to use cold plates and coils requiring a continuous supply of ice and drainage.
The Cornelius Super Astra will be our standard flash cooler after May 2003. Its low profile (see Dimensions for size) and highly efficient. It can easily fit under most counters. The Super Astra has a flow pump to circulate the ice bath water along the product lines to maintain ice temperature in the deliver lines. The Super Astra has a ½ hp compressor with a copper evaporator and represents a 20 pound ice bank which holds 3 gallons (11.36 liters of water) for the capability of cooling over 100 12 oz drinks at a rate of 2 drinks a minute to below 45°F assuming the product temperature is below 75°F.
It can serve a product at 34°F at normal lower flow rates and is perfect to dispense seltzer directly from a carbonator with only slight loss of carbonation. It is so an excellent method to dispense ice cold beer at special events, boats, ships or catering halls. This latest generation of flash coolers has proven itself in Europe with thousands in operation.
All flash coolers are shipped by truck only. They will not be shipped by UPS or USPS
Note: These flash chillers have straight wall Stainless Steel tubing for product inlets and outlets. When used with pressures above 12psi these tubes must be flared to prevent inlet and outlet lined from blowing off the inlet and outlet tubes.
The other, but less preferable, solution is to have a professional plumber flare the tubing enough to prevent the hoses from slipping off the inlet and outlet tubing. In either situation the cold water supply to the carbonator should be shut off when the system is not in use or the system will not be used for several days. This will prevent a flood if the hoses come unfastened. The only water to spill will be the water in the carbonation tank.

Behavioral Economics
On Classical Economists, Matt Dobbins explains, "They would have said, we try to make the right decisions that are going to benefit us, in a world of perfect information. Well of course that's not what happens, and behavioral economics once and for all proves that."
"The Concious rational brain isn't the oval office, making executive decisions, it's more like the press office, issuing reasons for those decisions." -Rory Sutherland
What is Behavioral Economics?
From A talk given by Matt Dobin
Behavioural Economics is the synthesis of cognitive theory and psychology with economics. It focuses in the following areas…
- Why do we make different decisions? Especially irrational decisions… How does our brain hard wiring influence this?
Here are behaviours that he pointed out:
Anchoring: The brain uses an initial understanding as an anchor. For a price this would mean that hearing a high price first, will make a lower price seem great! In fact, even hearing a high number first, a number totally unrelated to the price of an object, increases expected price.
Herding Instinct, Social norms: We don't want to be left out. We want to fit in.
Choice Architecture: We are very affected by the way choices are presented to us, in context, in various orders, depending on the layout/ display.
We use relativity and comparison to make decisions.
Heurestics, short cuts:
Cognitive biases: The inherent thinking errors that we make in processing information.
- such as loss aversion, status quo bias.
- We are risk averse
- overly attracted to short term award
We can use this information to market, to design policies, and to design an economy which works with our human behavior instead of against it.

06 Dec 2017, ICIMOD
After four days of invigorating discussion on resilience issues in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, Nepal's Ministry of Population and the Environment (MOPE) and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) closed the international conference Resilient Hindu Kush Himalaya: Developing Solutions towards a Sustainable Future for Asia today in Kathmandu.
ICIMOD Director General David Molden opened the conference last Sunday asking the attendees to help change the narrative about mountain from one of vulnerability to one of opportunity and innovation. At today's closing session, Molden called attention to the crucial need to include youth and women in future mountain planning and development across all sectors.
Resilience is the ability of communities and ecosystems to be prepared for shocks, recover from shocks, and "bounce forward" to emerge stronger than before. ICIMOD and its partners have been working on developing solutions for resilience building, promoting regional cooperation, and enhancing knowledge for sustainable mountain development.
On topics ranging from disaster risk reduction to gender equity and building social capital, all the sessions held over the past four days repeated a theme of collective action for increasing the resilience of mountain communities in the HKH, where impacts from climate change, outmigration, and dwindling natural resources pose formidable challenges.
Picking up on Molden's charge to change the narrative about mountains, Roland Schaefer, the German Ambassador to Nepal, said the HKH is well-positioned to harness the power of social capital in the region: "The [HKH] has a unique brand that signifies trust, reliability, and inherent ability for planning that stems from the deep social [ties] of the mountain communities. This is a strong brand that should be promoted and positioned outside," he said.
Changing the narrative will also require significant coordination and cooperation among HKH countries. "HKH challenges are often transboundary and geopolitical in nature. Addressing such challenges requires transformative, inclusive and scalable actions at all governance levels," said Rojina Manandhar, a programme officer with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The conference focus on mountain resilience served more than just mountain people and communities. The HKH sources 10 major river systems in Asia that provide water, ecosystem services, and livelihoods to more than 210 million people. The region holds and distributes water for more than 1.3 billion people living in downstream river basins. The HKH, all the panelists agreed, is an asset of global importance.
Secretary Prakash Mathema, Ministry of Population and Environment, Government of Nepal said, "This conference has been able to raise awareness on resilience solutions from mountain perspective. It has also encouraged partnership for urgent actions to combat climate change and other threats to the lives and livelihoods of the vulnerable people of the Hindu Kush Himalayan region."
The European Union supported this conference through ICIMOD's "Himalica" initiative. The EU's Ambassador to Nepal, Veronica Cody, said "This international conference provided an excellent opportunity to bring international and regional stakeholders together to identify concrete, actionable steps for collective action towards higher resilience in the HKH region. This can be a valuable input for policy makers in the region."

Assess behaviour and emotions in children and adolescents with BASC-2
Cecil R Reynolds,
R W Kamphaus
2 years to 21 years 11 months (TRS and PRS); 6 years to 25 years (SRP)
Individual - 10 to 20 minutes (TRS and PRS), 30 minutes (SRP)
BASC-3 is due for publication Autumn 2015 >
A comprehensive set of rating scales and forms including the Teacher Rating Scales (TRS), Parent Rating Scales (PRS), Self-Report of Personality (SRP), Student Observation System (SOS), and Structured Developmental History (SDH). Together, they help you understand the behaviours and emotions of children and adolescents.
BASC-2 provides the most comprehensive set of rating scales. These scales measure areas important for both IDEA and DSM-IV classifications. In addition, BASC-2 is respected for its developmental sensitivity. Best of all, you receive the most extensive view of adaptive and maladaptive behaviour.
BASC-2 applies a triangulation method for gathering information. By analysing the child's behaviour from three perspectives—Self, Teacher, and Parent—you get a more complete and balanced picture. Combined, these BASC-2 tools provide one of the most comprehensive systems currently available!
Like its predecessor, BASC-2 brings you the same superb family of tools
Use the Teacher Rating Scales (TRS) to measure adaptive and problem behaviours in the preschool or school setting. Teachers or other qualified observers can complete forms at three age levels—preschool (ages 2 years to 5 years), child (ages 6 years to 11 years), and adolescent (ages 12 years to 21 years)—in about 10 to 20 minutes.
The forms describe specific behaviors that are rated on a four-point scale of frequency, ranging from "Never" to "Almost Always." The TRS contains 100-139 items. Validity and response set indices used to help judge the quality of completed forms are also available.
Use the Parent Rating Scales (PRS) to measure both adaptive and problem behaviours in the community and home setting. Parents or caregivers can complete forms at three age levels—preschool (ages 2 years to 5 years), child (ages 6 years to 11 years), and adolescent (ages 12 years to 21 years)—in about 10–20 minutes.
The PRS contains 134-160 items and uses a four-choice response format. All clinical and adaptive scales are listed in the chart below. Validity and response set indexes used to help judge the quality of completed forms are also available. This form requires approximately a fourth-grade reading level for completion.
All assessments previously available on Q-local are now available on our new platform – Q-global. Visit our Q-global minisite to find out more about content and availability.
NB: BASC 2 Q-local users will still be supported in the interim, if you wish to purchase Q-local reports please contact Customer Services on 0345 630 8888 or email email@example.com.
