Product Features
Diazyme's Procalcitonin (PCT) Assay is for the quantitative determination of PCT in Serum, EDTA or Lithium Heparin plasma samples. PCT should be measured according to specific application parameters for specific chemistry analyzers. Diazyme's PCT Assay kit consists of two liquid stable reagents; R1, and R2, and the PCT calibrators and controls are packaged separately. Diazyme's PCT methodology utilizes multiple monoclonal antibodies for enhanced assay sensitivity and specificity.
Assay Principle
Diazyme's PCT Assay is based on a latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric method. PCT proteins in the sample bind to the specific anti-PCT antibody which is coated on latex particles, and causes agglutination. The degree of the turbidity caused by agglutination can be measured optically and is proportional to the amount of PCT in the sample. The chemistry analyzer calculates the PCT concentration of a sample by interpolation of the obtained signal of a calibration curve. The reaction is monitored at 600nm and completed within 10 minutes.
Intended use
Diazyme PCT Assay is a latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric method intended for the quantitative determination of PCT in human serum, EDTA or lithium heparin plasma. Measurement of PCT in conjunction with other laboratory findings and clinical assessments aids in the risk assessment of critically ill patients on their first day of ICU admission for progression to severe sepsis and septic shock. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

Tackling Geometry Homework: Practical Guidelines
Difficulty may lie in mathematics as a whole or in the sub topic of geometry. Whichever the case, here are practical tips to assist you with your geometry homework. The suggestions have been given by experts and are tested to ascertain their effectiveness. They may also be used in dealing with other problematic mathematic areas.
Gather all Resources First
Collecting all the resources you require to complete your geometry homework makes it easier to handle. The resources include books and any drawing instruments or reference materials to be used. Constant disruption means that you will lose the flow of ideas which makes geometry to appear difficult.
Use the Same Text Book As Used In Class
There are numerous learning materials published and produced by different companies to be used in geometry and mathematics in general. There also are different formulas of solving a geometry problem. These differences are likely to cause confusion. The secret to tackling geometry homework is to follow the example used in class. It helps you achieve consistency and avoid the confusion arising from different formulas or methodologies.
Review the Basics
Failure to understand basic concepts in geometry will limit your ability to tackle advanced homework. Whenever you encounter any difficulty, it is advisable to review basic principles and familiarize yourself with foundation concepts. This will clear some concepts and make advanced ones easier to handle. You may use video resources available online or other books that appear to explain these concepts better.
Ask for Assistance
At a certain point, geometry homework may become more difficult. Do not struggle with it. Seek the assistance of a reliable person. You will be wasting your time struggling with an assignment that you do not understand. Seek assistance from your teacher, colleagues, siblings or even professional homework assistance firms. You might be required to pay a fee if you seek assistance from agencies. However, their quality is assured.
Join a Discussion Group
Students are allowed to form discussion groups that will make their homework easier to handle. The groups are made up of members of the same class. With each member bringing in his or her expertise, geometry becomes easier to handle. You will be using a similar approach considering that you are in the same class. The discussions can be held during break time.
Simplifying geometry homework does not have to cost you a fortune. The solutions are available within reach, and in most cases, at no fee. You will begin to enjoy even the advanced geometry.
Get your homework done

Dax Barker – Dalo
It was during a social entrepreneurship course at Pretoria's Business School that I had my light-bulb moment.
A young entrepreneur was presenting his idea of creating a lap desk for under privileged children to use to do their school work. The simple, transportable idea appealed to me. However it also made me realise that these children may not have tables to work from but they were also sitting on cold concrete floors at schools.
My research confirmed that there are over 3 million children in South Africa alone who walk miles to school and then sit on the floor. This figure pales somewhat when compared with the 40 million children on the planet who suffer a similar fate.
Getting kids off the floor became my mission and my light weight, easily transportable desk and chair unit goes some way towards solving this issue. Distribution is of course the next hurdle I am learning to leap. So far I have managed to get 8000 units out and my plan is to distribute a further 20.000 within the next 12 months. Something which, following my time with Watershed, now seems eminently possible.
The course certainly took me out of my comfort zone and I feel stronger and more prepared, key was the recognition of why I am doing this and my actual role in this scheme. As a consequence I have been able to define exactly who I need to be talking to to move the projects forward and I have already made some phenomenal contacts which I believe will set me on the way to achieving my mission.

The telescope case, blue and grey at twilight,
shivers its length under my hands,
large and cold and clumsy as a baby whale.
We're enveloped by velvet, wind, and stars.
The ultrasonic squeak as I push the case,
its pivot point screeching the calls
on the square National Geographic records
of humpbacks, black as their depths:
one song sung to find a lover,
eerie and liquid to those who cannot speak
with the tongues of whales. The stars
reach out from pockets of light: echolocation.
I lean further into the sky to catch
them on my lips, spicy and brown.
They sink through my unmirrored skin.
A school of clouds flash silver at the horizon.
Warmed by my hands, the telescope bucks up,
rolls over, pectoral fins pinwheeling, flukes
spraying reflected photons up in arcs.
In the kelp tresses of the Milky Way
a star breaches above the glow: response.
Upward with the telescope I sing,
swimming my one song with constellation names
and heaving breaths in the ancient language of light.

Along with slim covers, transparent cases are always my first picks. It's because they let the smartphone reveal the look and also provide basic defense from falls. Going by the wind and what my personal experience says, the top iPhone XR clear cases are going to be one of the hottest picks.
There are a variety of transparent covers available in the market right now. While some are designed to be enviably sleek, others have got some cushion to disperse shock. And based on what your requirement is, you can pick the case that can get along nicely with your new iPhone.
10 Best iPhone XR Clear Cases in 2020
Quick links:
- Supcase Unicorn Beetle Style
- i-Blason Ares
- Speck GemShell
- Spigen Ultra Hybrid

#1. Supcase Unicorn Beetle Style
Great combo of elegance and protection, "Supcase Unicorn Beetle Style" lets you flaunt your new iPhone while still offering the needed defense to it. The clear back is armored by the solid bumper that can withstand shock with ease.
Elevated edges don't allow the LCD screen to touch the surface to prevent it from scratches. With the support for wireless charging, Unicorn Beetle Style can easily become your favorite for everyday use.

#2. i-Blason Ares
Want a more protective clear case for your smartphone? "i-Blason Ares" can be one of the finest contenders for your choice.
The thing that I like in this case is the extremely rugged bumper that doesn't give any chance to accidental bumps. With the clear back, your XR is able to showcase its design.
Thanks to the presence of the screen guard, the LCD screen has the additional shield to fight out scrapes. That's not all, you will choose Ares in four colors including black, blue, gold and the gorgeous pink.
Just like first one, you can avail 1a 0% discount by applying promo code: geek10
USP: Rugged bumper
Check out on i-Blason
#3. Speck GemShell
A top-notch clear case like "Speck GemShell" deserves to get a mention in this roundup. It's pretty slim, but you may be surprised to know that's it offers certified military-grade protection to the iPhone.
Courtesy the soft material, GemShell is exceptionally flexible. Thus, you won't have difficulty while installing and removing the cover.
With the front lip on offer, the touchscreen always has the trusted defense to remain secure. Plus, the rubberized texture prevents your iPhone from falling from your hands.
USP: Military-grade protection
Check out on Amazon
When there is a wish to let the iPhone arrest attention without any hindrance, you need a cover like "KHOMO." Sporting see-through design, it allows your smartphone to glow effortlessly.
The case is made of incredibly soft silicone gel and fits like a glove around the XR. With just 1mm thickness, it barely adds any weight to the iPhone. The smooth buttons and the neat cutouts ensure your time with the smartphone continues to be plain-sailing.
USP: Ultra-clear design
Check out on Amazon
#5. Spigen Ultra Hybrid
Make any iPhone case roundup, and this well-known brand will (most cases) walk into the list. Man, you've got to give credit where it's due.
Spigen's Ultra Hybrid is bang on when it comes to letting your smartphone showcase its class. However, what steals the show for it is the ability to provide the necessary protection without killing the style factor.
The impact resistant frame and raised bezel help it offer the needed care to your iPhone. Not to speak of the multiple color variants that help you choose the ideal fit.
USP: Elegant design
Check out on Amazon
Blessed with a sleek design, ESR can easily catch your eyes. It's just 1mm thick and features a remarkably flexible profile. As a result, you will be able to install or take off the case with ease.
For providing all-around defense, the cover comes with a beveled edge both on front and rear side. Therefore, the screen and camera never have an encounter with scratches. Protection aside, ESR comes in as many as five charming color variants.
USP: Flexible profile
Check out on Amazon
#7. Spigen Liquid Crystal
Don't be surprised to see yet another clear case from Spigen in this list. "Liquid Crystal" is one of the coolest cases I've reviewed recently. And the feature that makes it so appreciable is the one-piece design.
Due mainly to the high-quality TPU, it boasts a rubberized texture that comes into the play when you hold your smartphone in your palm. The buttons feel smooth, and the cutouts for camera, port as well as speakers seem to be on point.
Oh yeah, you will be able to pick out Liquid Crystal in multiple color options as well.
USP: Sleek one-piece design
Check out on Amazon
#8. MoKo
If you are looking for a slightly more affordable ($7.99) yet very functional clear cover, you shouldn't give a miss to "MoKo."
This case features a rugged transparent panel that is able to absorb shock. And with the addition of soft TPU bumper, it can thwart abrasion as well.
Check out the fortified corners that further boost security. Apart from defense, MoKo is available in some nice color options.
USP: Protective design
Check out on Amazon
The thing that has made me want "TOZO" is the ultra-clear and soft design. The top-grade TPU material makes it very elastic. One apparent advantage of the high-flexibility is that you have less pain while removing or putting the case on.
Expectedly, the buttons offer tactile feedback that's so essential when you have to use the physical buttons more often. Regarding protection, TOZO is just good enough to thwart the minor impact and also resist scrapes.
USP: Smooth construction
Check out on Amazon
SNOWFOX brings an innovative two-piece design in a clear case. Normally, accessory makers offer one-piece design in clear cases. But SNOWFOX presents a precisely designed transparent case with two frames. There are two covers – front and back. While front cover includes a touch-sensitive screen guard, the back cover has shock-absorbent TPU.
The best thing about this case is precisely cut out openings. Even as there are two detachable frames, users can easily access all the essential ports and buttons on their iPhone XR. The icing on the cake (or case) is its wireless charging compatibility.
USP: Two-piece design
Check out on Amazon
That's pretty much it!

There is a dark room in my house that has no windows, is 5 degrees warmer, is a large part of my electrical bill, and has a high pitched whirring. My computer lab attests to my addiction for overclocking computer components. While it started as a testament to cryptocurrencies, this time my GPUs have been overworked trying to finish the last few epochs of my models for the Kaggle Web Traffic Time Series forecasting.
Kaggle is a free online platform that allows users to learn how data science works and compete to win different recognition and prizes. I used this platform as a way to test what I have been learning for the past several months. I landed on the Web Traffic competition that was due to end in a couple of weeks. At one point, a thousand teams were trying to estimate Wikipedia's page views from Sept until Nov in an attempt to win a $25K prize. It was tough and unfortunately, and while I learned lots, here are some of the major mistakes I ran into along the way.
Educational resources and thanks up front
The only reason I got this far was thanks to the Fast.AI MOOC taught by Jeremy Howard that I have been studying for the past several months. While my code for the competition is here, I would suggest you borrow Jeremy's Rossman code for a better understanding of building out time series problems.
What are we trying to predict here?
Being given a large stack of historical data we are working to predict Wikipedia page visits per day in the future. Best advice is always to split data into three different sets.
- Training Data- school book of examples
- Validation Data- practice problems with answer
- Predictions (testing) – the teacher's test
The competition gives you the training data which you can split up into the different sets. While there are many different ways to run the models, I was using Keras to make my predictions. My model runs appeared like this.
Let me decrypt this for a second. Epoch states that the model will run through the calculations one time. ETA has time remaining (most iterations are 11 minutes), and the loss (the degree it was wrong) sits at 26. My training data set had 49.7 million, and my validation data had 21 million points.
Ideally, the training set would be even larger than the validation data (the goal being around 80-90%) however, the 8 GB on my GPU could not hold any more data in memory. Which brings me to my first mistake.
I was not able to use multiple GPUs
Although I have several GPUs at my disposal, for some reason, I could not get the data to spread across multiple devices. Nor could I run different models assigned to individual models. Having hardware that was underutilized was a huge disappointment because I would have been able to run more epochs and hold larger datasets. Additionally, I opted to reduce the number of features in my data to favor having more days of data. To put it another way, my model did not spend enough time running through its studies.
Here is an example of some good solid training. See how the orange line (actual values from the valid set) closely maps to the blue line (predictions made of the valid sets). This data would have a lower loss rate and do an excellent job of predicting how many visits a page will see.
However, here are some less trained models. I include the red line is the mean for the data since that was a popular method of estimation in the competition.
The most dreaded graph is this monstrosity.
The top models had more runs against it, as it was smaller and much faster to run. The lower three charts do not have the same numbers of runs as the extra data slowed it down too much. So these models did not have around 50 rounds run of them but around 10. Fewer iterations of the model almost directly related to a decrease in accuracy for my data. However, with all the variables it took nearly one hr to run, and I ran out of time because….
The dreaded 12:30 AM data extraction error
Be careful with your data. I had spent my lunch hour setting up a run that lasted 9 hours only to discover that some data was amiss. Most of my data featured several features used to predict the number of visits and would look like this.
When sorted according to date I saw several dates that occurred before the competition began. While searching data I realized that I was taking out the wrong date. In some cases, I was grabbing the first date instead of the second date, which meant my model was considering all the dates to occur on the same day (an example below). This oversight caused errors for 10,000 of my data points.
By the time I fixed the model I had let it run overnight getting a solid ten epochs into the dataset. I finally submitted the model right before the deadline with a sigh of relief.
Interesting details of the competition
One pleasant surprise is how friendly the different participants are. There are many conversations regarding techniques people are working on, trying out, and their thoughts. Even if you are a beginner, some great models take no hardware. A rather popular example was the 1-line solution which gives a real straight forward way to predict the data. I learned lots just from studying this line!
Additionally, although the competition submission deadline has passed, actual scoring will go on for the next few months. So while I sit rather low right now, I am hoping to see my position slowly grow as they update the scores over the next few weeks.

And the steps always had green upholstered chairs, comfy but quite a tight fit as i think it was originally intended to be lecture theater. Green jute wallpaper as well!

BBC Maple Lea (2015)
LOCATION: Lake Saint-Louis, QC
Case number: 120-735-C
The Incident
On December 17, 2015, the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) was notified that the German flagged general cargo vessel BBC Maple Lea (9,611 GRT) had grounded on Lake Saint-Louis in the St-Lawrence Seaway and was leaking bunkers. The CCG responded promptly and the incident was closed two days later, when the ship was refloated and continued its voyage.
The Claim
On December 15, 2017, CCG on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO/CCG) filed a claim with the Administrator in the amount of $1,329.54 pursuant to section 103 of the Marine Liability Act.
The Administrator determined that the claim was admissible under Part 7 of the Act.
Assessment and Offer
On December 19, 2017, after investigation and assessment of the claim, the Administrator made an offer to the CCG for the established amount of $1,329.54, plus interest, pursuant to section 105 of the Act. Interest was deemed in the amount of $91.68.
On January 8, 2018, the offer was accepted by DFO/CCG and on January 11, 2018, the Administrator directed payment of $1,421.22 (which included $91.68 in accrued interest) to DFO/CCG as full and final settlement.
Recovery Action
The Administrator reverted to the shipowner's P&I Club for recovery and the P&I Club agreed to settle the claim for $1,416.47.
On March 31, 2018, the file was still open.

For a long time now, Google's Chromecast has offered a more affordable way to turn your TV smart. At first glance, it all seems super simple ã maybe too simple.
You plug the dongle into your TV, get your smartphone and press a little button to transfer your TV shows, movies and YouTube videos from your hand to the screen. This amount of simplicity can betray you, though.
Read this: The best streaming sticks
How could you possibly get more out of your Chromecast than you already do? Well, that's what we're here for. We've assembled some of our favourite tips and tricks to better use your Chromecast. Here we go.
Have a YouTube party with a shared playlist
Chromecast is all about shifting stuff from your phone, tablet or computer to your TV, but this doesn't mean that you can't have other people participate. YouTube, for instance, will let you create and play a shared playlist on Chromecast.
All you have to do is make sure everyone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the Chromecast and has the YouTube app downloaded. In the YouTube app, have people tap the cast icon on their chosen video. It'll then ask whether you want to play now or add to a playlist. Add it to the playlist to get them to contribute.
Use your computer while casting
You may want to use your computer to cast a video to your TV, but while watching you may also want to use your computer to do something else. If you're worried doing something else will kill your video feed, don't be. All you have to do is hit alt + tab on your keyboard to switch to a new task ã and your video will stay casting.
Turn on your TV with your phone
Why bother with a TV remote to turn your TV on and switch inputs when you can just cast something to your Chromecast and have it all done for you? The Chromecast uses HDMI-CEC, which basically means that it can be used to control your TV.
The first thing you need to do is Google to see whether your TV supports HDMI-CEC. Many newer models do, but the manufacturers rebrand the standard to something else. Sony calls it Bravia Link while Samsung calls it Anynet+, for example. If your TV supports it, make sure it's enabled. Then, clicking the cast button in an app will turn on your TV and even switch your input to the Chromecast.
Enable Guest Mode
Usually, you need your guests to log into your Wi-Fi to use your Chromecast. Sometimes, you either don't want someone having your Wi-Fi password or you don't want to put on that whole song and dance of giving them your password.
Instead, head to the Google Home app and choose your Chromecast. Hit the three menu dots and enable Guest Mode. The Chromecast will then emit a special Wi-Fi beacon that will let anyone within 25 feet cast to it. Your guest will need to input a four-digit pin, which should be displayed on the Chromecast's Ambient Mode.
Ask Google Assistant
Naturally, Google Assistant is a potent weapon to use Chromecast. You won't have to pull out your phone or anything like that, instead relying on simple commands like, "Ok Google, play Stranger Things from Netflix on TV."
You will need to make sure you've linked your accounts, like Netflix and HBO, in the Google Home app. Click on your account, then head to Settings and then click TV and Video. Choose your service of choice and link them.
You can also set up Google Assistant to do other things. If you have a Nest Cam, for instance, you can use Assistant to cast your Nest Cam's video stream straight to your TV.
Cast your VR
Virtual reality can be a very solitary experience, but it doesn't have to be that way if you've got a Daydream View. Just open up the Google Home app, head to your account page, then scroll down to Mirror Device and then tap Cast Screen/Audio. Put your phone in the Daydream View and get your VR on. Whatever you see in VR will be reflected on the TV.
Customise Ambient Mode
Ambient Mode is a peaceful, relaxing way to keep your TV's display in motion. When your Chromecast isn't being used, it slips on Ambient Mode. You can customise what it shows by heading to the Google Home app, clicking on your Chromecast device, choosing Device Settings and then selecting Ambient Mode.
Here, you'll get to choose whether you show your Google Photos, selected art from Google, or Experimental, which will use new sources of wallpaper. You can also add in the weather and time. Google Photos will automatically choose photos it thinks you'll like, and even use your recent highlights or Live Albums.
You can customise these by heading back toward the Ambient Mode settings and choosing Personalize, which will let you select what photos from Google Photos you want to be included in your rotation.
Play some games
Chromecast isn't just for streaming video, photos and even slideshows to your TV. It can also be used for playing games, and Google even has a selection of games in Google Play you can try out. They include stuff like Just Dance Now, which will cast the game to your TV and let you use your phone as a controller. Just search Chromecast games to play on TV in Google Play to find them all.
Cast silently
One of the coolest features of Roku is that the remote comes with a headphone jack. You can keep watching on the TV, but the audio will be routed to the remote so that you don't disturb anyone else.
You can do this on Chromecast too with the LocalCast app for Android. It'll keep the audio on your phone and shoot the video to your Chromecast. Then all you need is a pair of headphones for your phone and you're streaming silently.
Chromecast on the go
Hotel rooms aren't the best places for smart streaming options. Luckily, it's not too difficult to bring your Chromecast along for the ride. You do need to make sure you bring along some sort of Wi-Fi hotspot ã then just make sure your Chromecast and phone are both on it. Plug the Chromecast in to your hotel room's TV and you'll have no problem casting to your heart's content.

No surprises on stage three of the Giro d'italia U23Sun 10 Jun 2018
With the big mountains tests coming up over the next week of racing todays stage three of the Giro d'Itlalia U23 was only ever one way – with a bunch sprint. Briton Jacob Hennessy finished in the top 15 for Mitchelton-BikeExchange as the Chinese outfit look ahead to the mountains.
A pan flat and pedestrian third stage unfolded behind a lone breakaway rider, Edoardo Affini (SEG-Racing-Academy) who went clear early on and gained a maximum of seven minutes on the slow-moving peloton.
Lotto-Soudal U23 controlled the chase as the kilometres ticked down and finally caught Affini inside the closing 20kilometres as the peloton speeded up in preparation for the inevitable bunch sprint finale.
Jasper Philipsen (Hagens-Berman-Axeon) took the stage win with Hennessy stretching his legs and finishing 11th with Rob Stannard and Sam Jenner crossing the line safely to maintain their positons overall.
Sport director James Victor:
"We ticked another box today and the boys did a good job of stickling to the plan which was to stay safe and have everyone come through in good shape going into tomorrow's first real mountains test."
"It was an ideal stage really, not much stress and as easy as we could have hoped for allowing everyone to conserve their energy and let the sprinters teams take up the tempo.
"Tomorrow will be a tough stage with the Passo Tre Termini coming before the long climb up to the finish on the Passo Maniva and that starts a run of hard stages that will see the GC contenders coming to life."
Giro d'Italia U23 stage three results:
1. Jasper Philipsen (Hagens-Berman-Axeon) 03:45:10
2. Giovanni Lonardi (Zalf-Euromobil) ST
3. Matteo Moschetti (Polartec-Kometa) ST
11. Jacob Hennessy (Mitchelton-BikeExchange) ST
General classification after stage three:
1. Markus Wildauer (Tyrol-Cycling-Team) 06:45:48
2. Jasper Philipsen (Hagens-Berman-Axeon) +0:31
3. Matteo Moschetti (Polartec-Kometa) +0:48
7. Rob Stannard (Mitchelton-BikeExchange) +0:52

As reported earlier, Malaysian racer Zulfahmi Khairuddin will be mounting a challenge in the Moto2 category this year in SIC Racing Team, filling the space left by the departure of Hafizh Syahrin for Monster Tech3 Yamaha in MotoGP. Although this is the first time Zulfahmi has stepped up to the Moto2 category, he feels ready to campaign the season after testing in Valencia, Spain on the Kalex Moto2 race machine.
Despite a test session shortened by bad weather to 70 minutes, Zulfahmi was able to get a feel for the bike, with another test session scheduled for this week at Sepang International Circuit. "The first test is concluded, and we have succeeded in fitting the bike to Zulfahmi. He is happy with his racing position, and that is a good thing," said team manager Johan Stigefelt, "but, there is still more work to do."
"My first impression of the Moto2 bike is it is very light and the engine has good power. The hardest thing is getting used to the tyres," said Zulfahmi. "We are adjusting the engine braking so that it feels comfortable under hard braking and entering the corners with good feedback," he said.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (BRAIN) — Propel Bikes, a Brooklyn, New York, retailer that specializes in e-bikes, has opened its second location — this one on the opposite coast.
Propel's Long Beach location began operating several months ago and held a grand opening recently.
Owner Chris Nolte opened the first store in 2011 as Long Island Electric Bikes. The operation is now one of the largest e-bike retailers in the U.S.
"The decision to expand into California was a very natural move," said Nolte. "Its active outdoor culture, combined with its alternative transportation leadership were big factors. Long Beach in particular has separated itself as a model city for cycling and mobility infrastructure. It is amazing what is happening here. Add the weather, the close proximity of the port, the fact that so much of the e-bike business and industry is here … it became clear in a hurry that Long Beach is where we needed to be."
The company's mantra, is "Changing The Way We Move" and promoting e-bikes as viable alternative transportation, as well as overall mobility education, are core parts of the business.
Claudia Wasko, VP and GM of Bosch eBike Systems America, said, "Chris' vision, dedication and focus are completely in line with how we see the future of e-bikes and mobility in our modern world.
"He and the Propel staff offer so much more than the best selection of e-bikes in the U.S. They offer insight and a path forward for this rapidly developing form of transportation and recreation. They do it exactly right."
Propel Bikes sells only pedal-assist e-bikes from Benno, Bulls, Butchers & Bicycles, Cannondale, Gazelle, Haibike, Moustache, Raleigh, Riese & Muller, Specialized, Stromer, Tern, Urban Arrow, and Xtracycle.

Corduroy | Trend
Corduroy. The material of the season. Trousers? The clothing item of choice. Wondering how to wear the fabric you've probably not donned since you were 5 years old in dungarees (still OK now FYI)? Read on.
Corduroy. The material of the season. Trousers? The clothing item of choice. Wondering how to wear the fabric you've probably not donned since you were 5 years old in dungarees (still OK now FYI)? Read on.
Prince of Wales check, the print that keeps on giving. This year it grew, grew again, and then grew some more. After seeing a sea of it at LFW I thought it was only fair to cover it for my trend of the month. It was interesting that I didn't see it so much at NYFW so perhaps this is one for the cooler weather.View Post
If there's one thing that you can guarantee, is that LFW will leave me a wishlist the length of my arm. I thought I'd do a wish list for this weeks fashion five on the five items I now need thanks to LFW and some of my favourite looks to go alongside. Be prepared for some major wardrobe envy.View Post
Shearling. Last year it was big. This year it'll be bigger. Mark my words.View Post
Colours aside, if there's one shoe trend that incorporates all colours, prints, lengths, heights, shoes, boots and any other word you can think of to describe a pair of shoes, it's pointed shoes. Points are in. I am a big fan of this trend and have already amassed a pointed shoe collection to be proud of and I can confirm that us big footed girls can quite happily rock the trend with the best of them. Just be careful of the style of point you go for, maybe the extreme point on these Balenciagas aren't for you? Mules and kitten heel shoes are something I have already invested in and am still looking to build my collection of. Theres something about a point and a kitten heel that just make the perfect combo and when paired with denim make smart casual gold. I already have a shoe and a boot in black but have been eyeing up these nude patent boots for the summer and Zara have some incredible gingham shoes in right now. Mules are also a great way of wearing pointed shoes and also like the perfect transitional style. I don't have a pair of these yet but I know it won't be long until I do . . like the length of time it takes for them to be delivered . . If, like me, you're not ready to let go of the boots yet then make it pointed. It's not all pointed shoes, pointed boots count too you know! I've been after the perfect pair of over the knee's for literally all winter every winter. NEVER find them but may have found a summer pair in these gorge Mango ones. Now just need to decide how much wear I'd get out of them . . but they would look great with my new skirt. Balenciaga also do these insane floral print boots which Topshop have thankfully duped for those of us that don't have a Balenciaga budget! Those Chanel mules have been on my mind since the day I saw them and good old Topshop have done it again on the dupe front with these babies in pink and the Chanel nude. I said it before and I'll say it again, when it comes to pointed shoes, mules are the best transitional style to invest in. But then of course there's always the holy grail of pointed shoes in the court shoe. I love the brightly coloured red ones and have you seen this incredible Manolo Blahnik bejewelled pair?! Have I convinced you you need a pair of pointed shoes yet? Click here to follow me on Bloglovin'View Post

Stoke Tee
Thought I'd share with ya a tee that I just sent over to Stoke Int. Met Chad at Surf Expo two years ago and we've been in contact ever since. He's a rad dude who I'm told is actually appearing in a Target commercial that plays on-screen at some LA theatres before movies?? Between running an apparel company, acting and whatever else he's up to I don't know how he even finds the time to call my ass to find out where his art's at!?
Did I mention I'm on a huge black and green kick these days? That used to be my favorite color combo when I was just starting out in the design biz. Used to have a black/grey/green logo that got ditched along the way in favor of my next favorite color scheme – black and orange. Above is the same tee in GIANTS colorway.
I always try to provide my t-shirt art clients with a tech-pak to show how I'm envisioning the art printed on a shirt, along with color options if they request. It's a good habit to be into, so there's no confusion between you, the client and the printer. Takes longer up-front, but your clients and their printers will truly appreciate it and it may even get you accolades or a recommendation in the future. Here's quick shot at how my tech-paks usually look:
There's no such thing as too much info on these. If your client gets a design from you they're stoked on and a happy printer because you're art is clean and spelled out, you've done a decent job. Time to move on to the next one.
One Response to "Stoke Tee"
Love to see your tech-pak template as a download someday. Thanks for the great insight.

I took part in Ludum Dare #26 with a minimal DOS game written in x86 assembly. Though I couldn't finish the game within 48 hours, I got some really nice feedback, also I saw some more potential in the game, which eventually inspired me to finish it after the compo.
The game is now (somewhat) playable. It has a HUD which shows your health, how many treasures you collected, and how many monsters you killed. Also, the field is randomly generated, and if you leave the screen, you get a new field (as if you left the previous one). Also, whenever you kill a monster (or you get killed by one), a random name is selected from a list of races – some of these races are shout-outs to various indie games I love – I suggest all the referenced games for everyone to check out. 😉
Some added awesomeness to this game (which I'm really proud of) is that it's OS-independent: though it runs natively under DOS, it doesn't actually require DOS to run. To prove this, you can actually write the binary image into the boot sector of a floppy (and possibly other bootable storage media) and then you can directly boot your PC with it. The binary is exactly 3 sectors long, and it contains a boot code which loads the rest of the game if it's booted by BIOS. Since the game only depends on ROM-BIOS calls those are available in all IBM-compatible PCs since the 80s, the game will run without a traditional operating system – in other words, technically the game will function as your operating system. 😉 (Though I can't prove it, theoretically this code should run even on the earliest IBM PC model, as well as on today's PCs. Though I'm not entirely sure that all BIOS functions I used were available since the very beginning.)
Originally I intended to include a readme.txt file for the program, but I found the source code itself is quite self-documenting. So just read the source code and you will find all information you need. (I advocate the "code is design" philosophy anyway. :P)
We must admit, this game is rather a computer science experiment than an actual game. It's not very fun, I must admit. 😀
You may get the updated game here:
ASM source
ZIP package (contains the source code and the compiled .COM file)
Basically, I had two motives to make this game. One is nostalgia. I remember having fun times reading one of Peter Norton's books on assembly programming when I was 13 or 14 (that was like 10 years ago)
while others were learning how to get girlfriends. Then during high school's carefree times I started to work on a hobby operating system I called ShitOS, which would have been entirely implemented in assembly – I was very far from finishing it when I gave it up 'cause I had to realize I don't have enough free time to work on it. The other reason I made this game is that I think assembly is totally awesome! First, it even looks awesome, I'd totally decorate my walls with it! Second, it does great to the programmer's soul. To master assembly, you need to understand how the computer works on a deep level, which is a de facto requirement for all good programmers.
Anyway, possible that I'll develop this game further whenever I get this assembly-fever again. 😉

Well if you have, I'm glad to know that and I'm glad you've stopped by today to see what I've been up to. Honestly, I haven't been up to very much other than work and trying to survive the extreme heat wave that has settled over the state of Minnesota this week. It's definitely been the lazy days of summer for me.
Of course, I have been keeping myself occupied in the evenings and on the weekends sitting at my crafting table creating what I think are some darned cute things.
The latest being another mini album which started out as a plain five piece wood album which I transformed using some of my favorite images that I've found on the Internet and some pretty scrapbook papers and embellishments.
Lets take a look shall we ...

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs impressed me as a cross between Lost Horizon and Brigadoon with a touch of The Wizard of Oz. I don't often read young adult books, but every now and then, I peruse the best sellers. A movie version of this book is scheduled for release at the end of September, 2016.
In this fictional story, a sixteen-year-old boy named Jacob is a privileged rich kid with one teenage friend. He has a close relationship with his grandfather who has regaled Jacob with many strange stories. The death of Jacob's mysterious grandfather sets in motion an adventure beyond belief on an island in Wales where Jacob discovers there is truth behind his late grandfather's fantastic tales.
As this is a work of fiction, pretty much anything is possible and the author takes full advantage of this creating imaginary characters and monsters endowed with unusual attributes. Jacob becomes the knight in shining armour and rescues the poor peculiar children caught in a time warp. The story doesn't end happily ever after and is followed by sequels.
I can see why this book was so popular. It is fantasy and many young adults and adults enjoy an escape from reality. I enjoyed the book, but the end confused me. I didn't understand how the peculiar children crossed-over to modern times without consequence. Perhaps the sequel clarifies what I don't understand.
It is doubtful I will read the sequel to this book, but I admire creative ideas and books which get kids reading. I do hope however, that these same readers find their way to books like Lost Horizon and the works of L. Frank Baum, which in my mind, are "timeless"!

7 Ways A Subtle Panic Attack Differs From A Serious One
Differentiating everyday anxiety, stress, anxiety disorders, and panic attacks can be quite confusing. One of the reasons these different issues all blend together is that they exist on a spectrum. Even serious panic attacks, which conjure images of severe distress, vary a lot between subtle and incredibly distressing.
One of the reasons that it's important to understand the varying symptoms of panic attacks is that panic attacks are incredibly personal. "Anxiety can look and feel slightly different for each of us, and the way we interpret signs of anxiety and panic can be influenced by our cultural experience, the way we were socialized, and our own personal expectations for ourselves," licensed clinical social worker Laura Federico, MS, tells Bustle. "[...] Noticing the signs of anxiety, or interpreting panic symptoms as they begin to increase, may be challenging if we aren't taught how to validate our emotional experiences." Therefore, it's important to understand and validate that even a subtle panic attack is worth taking care of.
"All panic attacks do not look alike," Dr. Caitlin Simpson, director of clinical operations at Footprints to Recovery, tells Bustle. "While symptoms may be similar, they are often experienced differently from person to person. There are multiple symptoms that can be experienced during a panic attack, and therefore some people may experience some symptoms while others do not." So even if your panic attack doesn't fit the criteria of being severe, you still deserve to recognize that there's an explanation for your symptoms.
Here are seven ways a subtle panic attack can differ from a more serious one, according to experts.
1. You May Be Able To Mask It
If you're having a panic attack, but it's relatively mild, you may be able to mask it. While it may be distressful for you, others around you may not realize what's happening.
"During a subtle panic attack, for someone who knows what is happening, [they] might be able to mask it from others and work through it so that it quickly passes," Dr. Reshmi Saranga M.D., a psychiatrist and founder of Saranga Comprehensive Psychiatry, tells Bustle. In more severe panic attacks, the physical symptoms can be harder to hide.
2. You May Be Able To Stop It Yourself
In a more subtle panic attack, you may actually be able to have some control over the symptoms. In some cases, you may even be able to stop the panic attack in its tracks.
"[During a subtle panic attack,] the person might be able to take a quick break from what they are doing, calm down, and get it to pass." Dr. Saranga says. While those with more severe panic attacks may tap into some of this with skills learned in therapy, more subtle panic attacks can usually be stopped more easily.
3. You Can Continue Going About Your Business During The Panic Attack
For those with severe panic attacks, the symptoms may stop them in their tracks. During more subtle panic attacks, however, coworkers and friends may not even realize they're happening, since the person having the panic attack can continue going about their everyday tasks.
"I have worked with individuals that have experienced minor panic attacks when shopping," licensed clinical social worker Ginger Poag, MSW, CEMDR, tells Bustle. "My clients have informed me that they could feel their heart begin to race, had an uneasy feeling and found it difficult to breathe. The individual experiencing this said that her symptoms decreased and eventually went away after a few minutes." This kind of subtle panic attack may not be noticeable to others, but definitely still counts.
4. You Might Not Be That Tired Afterwards
One common symptom of panic attacks is the exhaustion that floods a person after the panic attack subsides. In more subtle panic attacks, however, this doesn't always happen.
"After a really intense panic attack, the sufferer may be left feeling exhausted," Dr. Saranga says. But in mild cases, you may be able to go about your day.
5. You May Feel Jittery
The physiological effects of a panic attack are quite noticeable, whether or not your panic is subtle or more serious. One of these effects is the jitters — which happens as your heart rate and muscles react to the energy of the anxiety in your body.
"We can 'feel' jittery [when we have subtle panic attacks]," Joshua Klapow, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist and Host of The Kurre and Klapow Show tells Bustle. "[With this you may] feel not so much stressed, but not quite OK." Not being able to put your finger on what you're feeling or why is another symptom of a panic attack.
6. You May Feel Fine Just Before It
If you're having a subtle panic attack, it may feel like it is coming out of nowhere. This sensation may be because more serious panic attacks tend to occur when your body is already under significant stress.
"Things like hunger, anger, loneliness, feeling tired or stressed can make the panic sensations more difficult to control," Dr. Saranga says. If you're having a subtle panic attack, then, it may be because your system is feeling stronger in the moment.
7. Subtle Panic Attacks Can Be Severe Ones Subdued With Coping Skills
Another factor that may lead you to have a more subtle one, rather than a full-blown panic attack, is having developed healthy coping mechanisms.
"There are many factors that determine how a panic attack plays out," Dr. Saranga says. "[... If] the sufferer is able to control and reduce his symptoms with relaxation tools and via other coping mechanisms [that can make it more subtle]." Therefore, just because someone has dealt with serious panic attacks before doesn't mean that milder ones aren't possible.
Panic is not one-dimensional. Whatever kind of stress or anxiety you experience, it is within your right to want to understand your symptoms better. Acknowledging that panic attacks can vary from person to person, and in different contexts, may help you identify the triggers you have and the help you need.


text: As you know, the north wall in any house is going to be the coldest. The streaks that you have on the wall are nothing more than dirt stains. The reason that they are there is because a drop in temperature will create more moisture on the wall, and allow more dirt and dust to cling to it. The dirt is showing up in streaks because they are following the 2×4 studs lying behind the drywall. The insulation between the drywall and the outside wall is placed in between the studs. The studs themselves are not insulated, and the wall in front of the studs are colder than the rest of the wall. What you have to do is insulate the studs. The easiest way to do that is to install rigid foam paneling over the studs. You can either tear down the existing drywall, install the paneling, and erect new drywall, or place a 2.5 cm (1 in.) sheet of rigid foam over the existing drywall and add a new drywall over that. This is the simplest way to correct the problem, however, you will have to make the electrical boxes and window frames flush with the new wall.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) has become the most widely accepted measure of customer loyalty and retention. It is also the only customer experience metric proven to be a leading indicator of a company's growth potential and financial health.
For companies using NPS as part of their customer experience management (CEM) programme, one of the most common questions is "How does our NPS compare?" The annual Net Promoter Score Benchmarks, produced by Satmetrix, the co-developer of NPS, and covering both B2C and B2B companies, answer that question using the world's largest database of Net Promoter data. The number alone might not answer your question.

MINSK, 19 May (BelTA) – The Ice Hockey Federations of Belarus and Latvia did a great job and deservedly won the right to host the 2021 IIHF World Championship, President of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Rene Fasel said when commenting on the vote, BelTA has learned.
According to Rene Fasel, the victory of Minsk and Riga was a surprise to many. "There was a little confusion during the vote. We had to hold the second round which confirmed the results of the first vote. It only shows that the Ice Hockey Federations of Belarus and Latvia did a big job. I am confident that the tournament will be no less successful than the tournaments in Riga in 2006 and in Minsk in 2014," Rene Fasel said.
The voting took place during the IIHF Congress in Cologne on 19 May 2017.

Antennas, Bananas and the Internet of Things: How Satellite Will Enable the Future of IoTWhy IoT? The growth of the IoT industry represents our increasing ability as humans to move data around globally,…
Why IoT?
The growth of the IoT industry represents our increasing ability as humans to move data around globally, which is extremely powerful. By sharing information between vehicles, devices and people we can provide services, information and goods to one another at an unprecedented level of efficiency.
This access to information can be applied to any import or export across the globe. It is vital that we understand how far IoT extends beyond connected homes and cell phones — for example, global trade relies on the IoT's capacity to evolve, and there are countless industries just like it.
So what does this look like?
Take for instance, a shipment of bananas traveling from Costa Rica through Nassau to New York City. Costa Rica is well known for its banana exports, but the bananas must arrive at an exact temperature and ripeness specific to each regional delivery. For example, in the Caribbean, consumers are accustomed to cooking with green, 'unripe' bananas, while New Yorkers want their bananas to arrive a golden yellow. The cargo ship carrying the produce must contain highly accurate sensors to monitor and report data to the shippers to ensure quality. Additionally, shippers must have the ability to control and adjust the temperature and airflow within the shipment accordingly.
Where does Kymeta come in?
Kymeta uses a metamaterials-based toolset to produce flat, lightweight and software steered satellite antennas that can access the vast capacity offered by satellite spectrum. These antennas eliminate mechanical parts, and create opportunities to connect all kinds of mobile platforms and remote locations to the internet via satellite connection. The technology to connect the banana shipment with the shippers and the ports expecting the shipments becomes flexible and scalable with Kymeta. With more than 30 billion connected devices expected by 2020, companies looking to leverage IoT must seek connectivity beyond existing terrestrial networks and impossibly expensive services, bulky equipment and high-maintenance hardware of traditional satellite solutions.
What happens next?
As more connected objects become available, Kymeta will continue to advance our ability to connect people, devices, and vehicles of every kind. Kymeta is delivering what connectivity should be—secure, accessible and universal.

Trump isn't fit to serve as president of the United States. Clinton isn't relating emotionally to the electorate. These points of contention seem to be at the heart of debates around this year's presidential election. Gone is the traditional division between left and right, or liberalism and conservatism. What we are seeing instead, is a competition between technocracy and populism.
It is little surprise that this election has been described as a choice between the "lesser of two evils". We have a reliable, if uncharismatic, policy wonk on one hand; and an entertaining, if unpredictable, maverick on the other. And it is this opposition – competence v charisma – rather than substantive policy disagreements, that is framing the election.
Consider that, when it comes to policy positions, these two candidates are among the most different in recent memory. Yet such differences don't really seem to be at the center of attention, either for the candidates themselves, or the public at large.
In their recent debate, Clinton said explicitly that she intends to "increase taxes" for the rich and address the "systemic racism" of the country's criminal justice system: positions that not even Obama had dared to take so plainly four or eight years ago. Trump instead declared he intends to lower taxes for the top income brackets and dismissed the problem of racism as a question of "law and order". Similarly, on international trade, they took almost diametrically opposed stances: Clinton sees it as a factor of growth and stability, whereas Trump says trade is "killing our country".
Yet all this somehow remains in the background. The real core of what Clinton was attempting to communicate is that she is more competent than her rival, because she has greater policy expertise. This explains her reliance on the opinion of "independent experts" to make the case for her economic plan, as well as the insistence on "fact-checking" Trump's assertions.
Conversely, most of Trump's efforts went into depicting Clinton as a political insider, who is responsible for the "mess" the country is supposedly in at the moment, while presenting himself as a "strong leader" who can solve the country's problems precisely by virtue of his decisive and unconventional approach.
The roots of this populist drift in the Republican party go back several decades. Although the party's current establishment professes to be outraged by at least some of Trump's excesses, there is a direct line of continuity running from the late 1990s' bid to impeach Bill Clinton over the Lewinsky affair, to George W Bush's self-presentation as the candidate one would "most like to have beer with", the choice of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate in 2012 and many features of Trump's current campaign.
The Democrats' response has been to move progressively towards the center, assuming the mantle of "reason" and "respectability", while presenting their rivals as irresponsible mavericks. No wonder the substantive policy differences between them have fallen into the background: when politics is structured around the opposition between competent technocrats on one hand and anti-establishment populists on the other, there is little room left for substantive policy disagreement in the middle.
