This particular product rendering case study focuses on an entirely CGI commercial we created for San Diego based Apple-accessories company Satechi, who tasked us with creating a trailer for the launch of their new aluminum keyboard. The catch? We only had 48 hours to make it happen from start to finish. You can watch the final video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0mR3QlI-WM
The task was to create a piece of video content that would build anticipation and create excitement for the launch of Satechi's new aluminum keyboard for the Mac. Satechi gave us complete creative control, but needed something done ASAP that they could post on Instagram & social media for the launch of this product.
There was not much time to think or storyboard, and the idea emerged to show a liquid cover the old version of the keyboard, as if it's being taken over by a living organism, in order to be transformed into something new. We set up a custom liquid simulation rig that essentially told the liquid particles to be attracted to the keyboard 3D model. We replicated this technique for several different shots & angles until it was time to reveal the keyboard in full as you can see in the below video thumbnail.
We often try to not show the full product right away. Interestingly, even if the viewer already knows what the product looks like, showing only a portion, a corner, a detail, always builds a feeling of wanting to know more. This play on secrets & reveals is often used in filmmaking, and works very well for commercials as well. We open the spot with just close ups, focusing on realism, shallow depth of field macro shots, cinematic camera movement & letting the liquid effect guide us through the frame. When the full keyboard is finally revealed, it feels earned and adds to the impact.
We delivered the first draft within 24 hours, the client absolutely loved it and then we spent the remaining 24 hours rendering out the animation in 1920×1080, editing, post-processing & delivering the final video.
It has since amassed over 150,000 views on YouTube & tens of thousands of views on Instagram and other social media channels, and to this day this remains one of the projects we are most proud of, especially considering the extremely short deadline.

Supreme Court of Maine
March 2, 2017
STATE OF MAINEv.ROBERT I. BOYD JR.
Argued: December 15, 2016
K. Saucier, Asst. Dist. Atty. (orally), York County District
Attorneys Office, Springvale, for appellant State of Maine
McNally, Esq. (orally), Woodman Edmands Danylik Austin Smith
& Jacques, P.A., Biddeford, for appellee Robert I. Boyd
SAUFLEY, C.J., and ALEXANDER, MEAD, GORMAN, JABAR, HJELM, and
The State of Maine, with the approval of the Attorney
General, see 15 M.R.S. § 2115-A(1), (5)
(2015);[1] M.R. App. P. 21(b), appeals from an
order of the court (York County, Driscoll, J.)
granting Robert I. Boyd Jr.s motion to suppress evidence
obtained by drawing his blood and testing it for alcohol
without obtaining a search warrant. The State challenges the
courts determination that the State failed to prove that Boyd
consented to the blood draw, and argues that the search of
Boyds blood did not violate the Fourth Amendment. We affirm
the order of suppression.
The court found the following facts, all of which are
supported by competent evidence in the record. See State
v. Morrison, 2015 ME 153, ¶¶ 2, 5, 128 A.3d
1060. At about 10:00 a.m. on October 14, 2015, an officer of
the Sanford Police Department stopped a vehicle operated by
Boyd for continuing to have an expired inspection sticker one
month after having been stopped for the expired sticker. In
speaking with Boyd, the officer noticed the smell of alcohol
on Boyds breath. The officer asked Boyd how much he had had
to drink that day. Boyd said that he was hung over, but he
denied having had any alcohol that day.
The officer conducted multiple field sobriety tests and,
based on what he observed, determined that he had probable
cause to arrest Boyd for operating under the influence.
See 29-A M.R.S. § 2411(1-A) (2016). The officer
arrested Boyd and transported him to the Sanford Police
Department to administer a breath test for alcohol.
See 29-A M.R.S. § 2411(4) (2016). The machine
there malfunctioned, and the officer sought another location
with an operational machine. The officer transported Boyd to
the Wells Police Department where, during the fifteen-minute
observation period before a breath test could be
administered, Boyd coughed several times, which could bring
alcohol into the mouth and invalidate the test results.
The officer then located a paramedic to draw a sample of
Boyds blood. The officer did not obtain Boyds consent to the
blood test. Nor did the officer read any warnings to Boyd
about the consequences of refusing to submit to testing,
see 29-A M.R.S. § 2521(3) (2016), seek or
obtain a warrant for the blood test, or inform Boyd that he
could request that a physician perform the blood draw,
see 29-A M.R.S. §2521(2) (2016). Boyd did not
expressly refuse or object to the blood testing, and the
paramedic drew his blood.
On November 20, 2015, Boyd was charged by complaint with
operating under the influence (Class D), 29-A M.R.S. §
2411(1-A)(A), (5) (2016), based in part on the allegation of
a blood test measuring 0.15 grams of alcohol per 100
milliliters of blood. Boyd pleaded not guilty and moved to
suppress all evidence obtained through the blood test. The
court held a hearing on the motion on March 15, 2016.
In an order entered nine days later, the court ordered the
suppression of the blood test result, finding that the
officer did not obtain a warrant or seek Boyds consent, and
that Boyds "amenability and acquiescence without
objection to [the officer]s direction/command/request that he
submit to a blood draw does not rise to the level of
consent." The court concluded that there were no exigent
circumstances generating an exception to the warrant
requirement and that the blood sample was obtained in
violation of the Fourth Amendment.
With the written approval of the Attorney General, the State
appealed from the courts order. See 15 M.R.S.

THE Rising...
Mangal Pandey, may have been an accidental hero as historians claim but when he lit the spark of rebellion he had also unknowingly checked the centuries-old decay of India's civilizational ethos. The very instruments of modernization the East India Company created to expand their trade and wealth helped catapult their fall. They united the entire Indian subcontinent from Afghanistan in the west to Burma in the East, Kashmir in the north to Kanyakumari in the south under their sphere of influence, networked the whole country with roads and railways bringing into contact people of different lands, started schools and colleges to educate men and women to work as their babus, and as greats like the Mahatma, Swami Vivekanada, Ramunjan, C.V.Raman, Tagore and Netaji kept springing up they realized it was only a matter of time before the Indian Nation would rise.
The India of today...where else in the world would you see such diametric opposites...people who speak more than 1/2 of the world's known languages, people who look and dress differently, people who believe in different faiths, people who differentiate between each other on the basis of castes, a people ideologically divided from the day of the country's birth...yet we dont see civil wars based on these contradictions i mentioned above which have torn apart nations like Ireland, Sudan, Pakistan, Yugoslavia or bloody dictatorships like in Nigeria, China or Afghanistan...even a supreme power like the Soviet Union fell apart not being able to manage their internal contradictions. I belive the way we won our freedom has the answer to this paradox....if we had taken to the gun instead of satyagraha, the Indian psyche would have altered to an aggressive, hotblooded race which would have turned violent for every issue caused by the co-existence of such diversity and though many within and without, ridicule us for being a "soft" state, the Indian people havent suffered at-all for belatedly exploding the atom bomb or the countless withdrawals from Pakistani territory after each Indo-Pak war(America sweating it out to ward off Iraqis on their own soil wud give us enuf ideas...wht it wud have cost us to hold on to those Paki lands we gave up!)...many violent movements have cropped up in our country but none have succeeded or will succeed...from the early Tamil nation movement, to Punjab, Assam, North-East to the himalayan fortress god gave us...Kashmir! Many of these movements began in non-violence but without the support of the people they claim to represent, they failed and the extremist elements within them took to the gun...and u know where that story ends or will end!
Kerala may accuse Tamil Nadu of stealing water, TN charges Karnataka with blocking the Cauvery, Punjab and Haryana hotly claims Chandigarh to be their own(the Govt wisely named it a Union Territory!), the demand for Khalistan has reared its head again, Gujarat remains divided on communal lines and Bihar on caste, the naxals fight for their version of utopia as they strive for the naxal corridor...superficially it all looks a bloody mess! But watching The Rising...i felt there was this chord lying deep within each of us that makes us an Indian which ties us up so inextricably into a nation which will rise up again...and again when affairs go out of hand...too many lives have been taken and too much blood has been spilled on our soil to build this country...the memory of those martyrs and good movies like these that keep coming out(if not for our history textbooks...anytime i'd choose one like that over a movie) should serve to remind us of a nation built of sweat, blood, toil and satyagraha and how each and every one of us is a vital cog in taking our proud nation to greater heights.
Jai Hind!

Jai Hind indeed. We are an unique people. Our greatest desire is to live in peace and get on with our lives. This perhaps is the reason why you dont see too many supporters for the violent movements that have cropped up now and then around the country.
Truly a great post and your analysis of the Indian psyche is amazing. You must have won every essay competition in school!!

Hi jiby,
its been a long time since i visited ur blog. and oh my! what an awe-inspiring blog to return to.
i havent seen Rising, now i might just go and see it. Because if it does inspire even a bit of what u said, it will be really worth watching.
moving beyond the movie (as ur blog did so well) have to say i agree with your views totally here!!!!. U have managed to strike that middle path in talking about india's history which not even some historians can. either they are totally against any thing that british did or they end up supporting it (talking abt historians both within india and outside). your way of straddling both arguments presents us with a most interesting (and neutral) way of seeing our history.
yes the british united us...for the first time we had a common enemy and we stopped bickering amongst each other to fight that common enemy. Our resources for the fight was the knowledge that the empire implanted in us, sharpened by our very own invention of non-violence as the greatest "weapon".
Today, looking back on our 58 years of independance, we can both be proud and optimistic. As a nation we are held together not by the rulers (as Yugoslavia was) or by the power of ideology and centralized decision making (as USSR was) but by a subtler and stronger belief in a common heritage, and more importantly a common destiny!.
Indeed i remember an article which i read a while back on how the foremost india expert from the west of those days predicted that india will collapse and disintegrate after the death of nehru. the fact that we are together today is not becase of our rulers (who tried and still try to F*** up the country) but because majority of the ppl wanted to stay together as a nation.
ahem..this is a real long comment...but i guess i got so excited to see this post. This for sure wont remain just as a blog..i am sure this will soon become a fwd amongst us indians who are proud of our heritage and hopeful about our destiny
really really great post..keep writing(while i surf ur earlier posts) and as silverine says..ur analytical prowess must have won u lotsa laurels!

anish, thanks for taking off from wherever i left loose ends...it complements my post beatifully...my sis said she liked this post only after reading your comment!
praveen, think the reason i liked The Rising wuz my expectations were rock bottom after all the disillusioned Aamir fans vented their ire...moreover i never get enough of historical movies to satisfy me!

Ex-Magdalo mutineer to file impeachment case vs Duterte
MANILA — The first attempt to unseat President Duterte will be made today (Thursday, Mar. 16) at the House of Representatives with the filing of an impeachment complaint by former junior rebel officer-turned-congressman Gary Alejano of the Magdalo party-list group.
Alejano, in an advisory to reporters, said he would file the complaint at 10 a.m. before the House Secretary General.
On Tuesday, the congressman, a member of the opposition bloc known as the "Magnificent 7," said Duterte could be impeached for giving up the Philippines' sovereign rights over Benham Rise to China.
He said Duterte might have committed a culpable violation of the 1987 Constitution by refusing to take China to task for its recent incursions in Benham Rise, an underwater landmass declared by the United Nations to be part of the country's continental shelf in 2012.
Although the landmass is not part of Philippine territory as normally defined, the country exercises the exclusive right to exploit and explore its natural resources. Other states, however, may enjoy the right of "innocent passage" and freedom of navigation in those waters.
The 13-million hectare Benham Rise, or Benham Plateau, is located off Isabela and Aurora provinces in the country's eastern seaboard. It is potentially rich in mineral and natural gas deposits.
Alejano, a former Marine captain, is closely tied with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, with whom he has a history of staging a coup attempt.
Under the Constitution, an impeachment complaint may be filed by a House member or any other citizen with the endorsement of a House member. Once properly received, it is to be included in the order of business and referred to the proper committee which will determine whether it is sufficient in form and substance.
Alejano has strongly denounced what he called "intrusions in our sovereign territory" by Chinese ships that have been spotted in the area.
He cited the opinion of expert Jay Batongbacal, director of the University of the Philippines Institute for Maritime Affairs and Law of the Sea, that: "The region may not be 'territory' in the same sense as land territory, but it is definitely 'territory' for the purpose of Philippine laws and regulations over natural resources."
"The 1987 Constitution considers as legally part of the National Territory all areas over which the Philippines has sovereign or jurisdiction; Benham Rise falls squarely within the definition," he said, quoting Batongbacal. SFM/rga

Minnesota Non-Profits to Help Migrant Families this Summer
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Hundreds of migrant students and families will soon be getting help with food and school supplies from a group of charity-minded Minnesotans.
Over the weekend, volunteers and non-profit group employees packed up the supplies, which, over the next few weeks, will be delivered to more than 500 migrant families working in Minnesota fields this summer.
Jeanne Mock, director of national accounts for the Kids in Need Foundation, says part of the idea is to help create a stable environment for these families as they travel for work.
"They come not with much on their backs," she relates. "They're exactly what is called migrant workers, so they do not stay in one place for a very long time.
"So, it's hard for kids to drag along school supplies or for them to have consistent food that's healthy and nutritious."
According to the Minnesota Department of Education, hundreds of migrant families travel to work in the state each year, which can sometimes interrupt children's education.
Several cities will be opening their schools for the summer to help.
Mock says giving out free food and school supplies is one way to help level the educational playing field for these children.
"Our mission is to provide free school supplies to students that are most in need," she says. "And we really believe that if kids are provided with the same opportunities and school supplies to complete their work, to do homework at home, they can succeed just like every other child in the classroom."
The Kids in Need Foundation is working with the Minnesota Migrant Education Program and The Sheridan Story, an anti-hunger group, to collect and distribute the donated food and supplies.

Too much furniture, use the stairs and then walk away
Space, really is the final frontier so, you have to get rid of some furniture. In the case of the recently vacated apartment lived in by my parents-in-law until recently. Getting rid of the mattresses and other bits and bobs without paying the local council surcharge? Easy. Do what the locals do and discretely dump the unwanted mattresses and table into the stairwells that connect the floors. Most of the locals were students that studied at Sunmoon university. Upon moving out, some of them have done what I've described and put whole desks and chairs out in the stairwells. Sadly the downside of it all is that it's a scorched earth policy. Disable the appliance or piece of furniture, rendering it useless.
In this case, the computer that I had a look at, it was a relic. Examination of the hard disk revealed that it had IDE connectors instead of the more contemporary SATA connections. Not so good since I was in need of a harddisk. The pictures you see in this entry were all taken in one building. Chairs, a low table and mattresses, you could if you wanted to decked out a whole apartment in relative, albeit dusty comfort.

Go pee, or you can have it "your way"
Obviously you can't pee just anywhere. Having said that, I've seen grandmothers training their young grandchildren to pee into the gutter. It's a bonding moment. How nice vulgarity can be given the right context.
Use the public toilet, and if you're unlucky enough, wait to use it. The message can work only if the bathroom is big enough, which in this case, it was not. Besides, Koreans don't queue, they cluster or "aggregate".
The Burger King sign was even more ironic in it's slogan. It's obvious in what the message is, but slogans inclusive, I'd rather not have it this way.

To be human is to be programmed to be lazy. Our ancestors never knew where the next meal was coming from. That meant they had to manage their resources and not waste effort on unnecessary movement.
In the first world and the 21st century, the complete opposite applies. We have an abundance of food, a safe place to live and no real need to make any effort at all. Hunting and gathering has been replaced by button pushing and online shopping. The problem is that we expect to live rather longer than the caveman life expectancy of 35 years.
There's no escape – we need to exercise for all sorts of good reasons. New research adds ' living longer' to that list.
The benefits of controlled weight, a stronger heart, stronger bones and toned muscles are well known. All these things reduce the chances of degenerative body changes. In addition, exercise has been shown to have positive effects on the brain.
All these effects give us a better quality of life, but only now has research shown that exercise can actually slow down the ageing process.
The research compared a group of regular cyclists aged 55 to 79 with a similarly aged group who did not take regular exercise. All the participants were basically healthy, and none were smokers or heavy drinkers.
The regular cyclists did not show loss of muscle mass or strength and their body fat levels had not increased with age. Their immune systems also seemed to be as strong as those of younger people. The males in the group even had testosterone levels more usual in those half their age.
The conclusion is that it is possible to stave off age-related deterioration.
So get off the sofa and head for the gym, the running track or the pool. It is proven to work for a better today and a longer tomorrow.

You must stay patient and informed to be successful in a lifestyle change. Getting good results from bodybuilding needs those things, too. If you want to ensure attaining success, you are going to need the appropriate tools at your disposal. This article is filled with ways to build up your muscles – feel free to try some out today.
Vegetables are a critical component of a healthy diet. Vegetables are sometimes lost in the push for complex carbs and high quality protein to fuel muscle building. There are a lot of important nutrients that are rare in carb- and protein-rich foods but plentiful in vegetables. Vegetables are also rich in fiber. Fiber allows the body to use protein effectively.
Bench presses, deadlifts and squats are your best exercises. This trio is thought to be the best foundation for weight training success. They have all been proven to increase muscle bulk and strength, as well as improve conditioning. Use these exercises during your workout.
Remember the "big three," and include these exercises in your routine. This refers to bench presses, dead lifts and squats, all of which are common exercises for building bulk. These particular exercises not only increase your bulk, but they also ensure your body is well conditioned and help improve your overall strength as well. Do some variation of the "big three" exercises regularly.
Eating some meat can help your muscles grow. You should want to eat at least one gram of protein for every pound you weigh. This is important because it allows you to store a protein reserve that your body will be able to use to build muscle.
Don't attempt to build muscles when you are preparing for a marathon or tackling other extreme cardio workouts. Cardio is important in achieving good fitness, but a lot of it could impede your attempts to bulk up through muscle building. If you want to build muscle, focus the bulk of your efforts of your strength-training regimen.
You need lots of protein when building muscle. Protein is essentially what constitutes muscles. If you do not eat enough of it, your body cannot create new muscle tissue. You need to have a minimum of two protein-rich meals a day, with at least one high-protein snack.
Eating enough carbohydrates is crucial for building muscle. Carbs are the fuel that your body uses to power itself through exercise routines. When you work out heavily, you should have between two to three grams of carbohydrates for every pound of your body weight.
Compound exercises are an excellent way to build muscles to their fullest extent. Multiple muscle groups are used in every lift, extending the workout across your body. For example, a bench press will utilize shoulder, tricep and chest muscles all at once.
It is possible to make yourself look larger than your actual size. Concentrate on training your upper back, chest and shoulders to get this effect. This causes your waist to look smaller and makes you look bigger.
Drinking enough water is critical to building muscle. Dehydrated muscles will be extremely prone to injury, and also won't recover as quickly after you exercise. Also, hydration is vital to boosting and keeping muscle mass, so it's crucial that you drink enough water.
Make sure that you are consuming the amount of calories that your body needs. There are many online calculators that will help you estimate the number of calories you need to eat each day to gain the desired amount of muscle. Ensure you're getting your calories through lean meats and carbohydrates, and don't forget produce to get you the vitamins and minerals you also require.
Definitely learn your limits, but do not quit doing a particular exercise until your ability to complete a rep is totally exhausted. Keep pushing yourself to complete the exercises in a set even if you're tired. Don't stop until you literally cannot do any more of the exercise. You can shorten your sets when you start to get tired, but do not stop until you have no energy left to continue.
Don't rely on your "limits" to know when to stop a set, instead allow your body to physically be exhausted. You want to try and push yourself to your limit during every set. Don't stop until you're unable to do even a single more. You can shorten your sets when you start to get tired, but do not stop until you have no energy left to continue.
One deterrent of successful muscle-building can be slow-growing muscle groups. If you have this problem, target a particular groups of muscles with a fill set. A fill set is a short set focusing on your weak groups of muscles you can do a few days after working hard on this same group.
Try utilizing some plyometric exercises. When you complete these exercises you help stimulate muscle growth by developing muscle fibers that are fast-twitch. Plyometrics incorporate acceleration into your workout. For example, when you do push-ups that are plyometric, your hands leave the floor, propelling your body upward.
Try eating protein rich foods right before and after you exercise. It's a good suggestion to consume approximately fifteen grams thirty minutes prior to training, and then do the same thing after you finish. This is equivalent to about one or two glasses of milk.
You can cut corners a bit when you lift, although always be safe. Slightly using your body for pumping out a few final reps is a great way to increase your workout volume. However, cheating too much is not advisable. Your rep speed should be controlled. Do not compromise on your form when you are doing your reps.
Only exercise three or four times each week. This will help your body recover by giving it the time it needs in order to repair itself. You may find yourself making no progress towards your goals or even injuring yourself if you try to maintain a workout schedule that is too strenuous.
Schedule your workouts intelligently, as this will maximize muscle growth while minimizing the risk of injury. It is recommended that novice muscle builders workout only twice each week, while those with experience can do so three times each week.
Watching your intake of calories is important, when trying to build muscle. It's not enough to count calories; you need to know what kind of calories are healthy and understand what foods you should eat to optimize your muscle development efforts. A bad diet makes you fat – not muscular.
A great idea when trying to build muscle mass is to eat protein rich foods before and after your exercise routine. As a good rule of thumb, eat 15 grams of protein about 30 minutes prior to exercising, then another 15 grams when you are finished. This can be found in a few glasses of milk.
You do not need to build yourself up into a mountain of muscle to realize the significant benefits of better muscular development. A more toned physique will boost your confidence, give you more energy, and keep your body healthy. When paired with a cardio workout, bodybuilding can even help to strengthen your lungs.
It is important to limit the amount of your workouts to three to four times a week. This can give your body time to recover. If you don't give your body time to rest and recover, then you are likely to get injured.
Be sure that you set reasonable targets when working on building muscle mass. Good results are achieved through time, and by having hundreds of workouts. Trying to build muscle quickly using stimulants, steroids or other potentially harmful substances can damage your body, and in some cases actually lead to serious health risks and consequences.
Work on improving your bicep curls. In a typical bicep curl, you don't get a lot of benefit from the top of the curl due to moving your dumbbell or bar beyond the parallel part. The upper half of the bicep curl is the most powerful part. By doing barbell curls while sitting, can help you fix this.
Take a good look at your body, and determine what is and isn't feasible when it comes to building muscle. When you start from here, you can safely set targets for your workout. Your body composition, coupled with your weight, will be two primary focuses when you do this evaluation.
When you work out to build muscle mass, try eating a diet rich in whole, fresh foods. Prepackaged foods are normally full of preservatives and chemicals which harm your immunity. Healthy foods improve the strength and endurance of both your body and your immune system.
Pay close attention to what you eat and drink when you are trying to build muscle mass. Hydration is important in a lot of different health fields, and muscle building is no exception. Muscles, are composed of 70% water. Excessive alcohol will also dehydrate your muscles and inhibit growth.
Eating the right amount and types of food is critical when it comes to efficient muscle-building. Your body needs certain nutrients in order to be able to properly rebuild muscle fibers. There is considerable evidence that protein shakes make it easier for your body to maintain muscle fibers after workouts.
If you are new at working out, focus on your form rather than your strength. You can always increase the amount of weight you are using, but incorrect form can lead to a lot of problems later on. This means that you're powering up to looming injuries, which is opposite to the results you want to get.
Make sure you keep your cardio workout going. While your cardiovascular routine won't increase muscle mass, it will better prepare your heart for your more strenuous weightlifting routine. Working out for twenty minutes, three times a week is good for your heart and will not have an impact on building muscles.
Get up your nerve and take some pictures of yourself in the nude every few days. If you're looking for changes in your mirror every day, your progress may be hard to notice. With the use of photographs, you can do side-by-side comparisons every two weeks or so and make much better sense of your development.
When you lift weights, your technique has more importance than how much weight you lift, how quickly you do the sets or how often you do them. Learn to get the optimal benefits from each routine by practicing the proper way to do each one. Perfecting one's form early on with light weights is best, and when more weight is added later, the benefits are maximized.
Stretching is a very important part of your exercise routine. There are two primary benefits to stretching before you work out. A good stretching session helps to prevent sore and aching muscles, keeping you motivated to return to the gym. By regularly stretching your muscles after your workouts, you will be gaining a wider range of movement.
If you start to feel pain, it is important that you immediately stop your workout. There are very real limits to what your muscles and tendons can handle, and you should not push those limits in an attempt to build muscle faster. When feeling sore, take at least a day to rest, so that your body can return to full-strength.
Both before and after working out, you should have something to eat. If you are just starting out, a snack high in protein will help. As you get further into bodybuilding, you may find it useful to plan your meals even more to optimize your muscle development abilities.
Use a combination of free weight exercises and well as weight machines for your muscle building sessions. Free weights are a great way to build muscle rapidly. Beginners, however, should start off with weight machines. If you are a beginner, try to avoid getting into a rut by including both free weight exercises and a weight machines in your daily routine.
In order to be successful at anything, you need to have the correct information; the same applies to building muscle. If you use the techniques that were in this article, you can be assured that you will have stronger muscles in no time.
Eating a regular diet of three meals a day is not enough if you want to build muscle mass. By eating six small meals with a good mixture of protein, carbohydrates and some healthy fats, you will give it the nourishment it requires. This keeps your blood sugar stable, your metabolism burning at an optimal rate and fuels quick muscle fiber repair.

We did talk about it, and my takeaway at the time was that the best path forward would be for WebRTC to define its own key-generate function, and return an object that was API-compatible with WebCrypto (so that we didn't have two different objects in the web platform to represent 'key'). As Eric says, this became the basis of the current proposal, so you can blame me for any misinterpretation.

About Me
My education philosophy is that every child is afforded the ability to develop the skills necessary to be successful in their lives. I believe that their learning atmosphere should give them the opportunity to expand their knowledge while giving them the confidence to think for themselves.
In addition to being able to critically think about different subject topics, I find it incredibly important for students to be able to openly voice their opinions in order to foster idea-sharing. School should be a place where children can grow emotionally, intellectually, and socially.
I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Wyoming. After doing so I enrolled at Harvard's Extension School to work on a graduate certificate in Religion Studies and Education. I have learned a lot from my education and hope to utilize it by helping other students find their love for learning.
I have experience both tutoring and teaching students and am strongly passionate about working with young learners.
In my spare time I spend time with my family and bulldogs. We often enjoy activities such as camping, hiking, and exploring new places we haven't been. Other things I enjoy doing is playing trivia games and watching documentaries. I also donate my time and money to various organizations in my hometown.

Teaching healthcare professionals how to nourish cancer patients, a huge challenge in patient care, involves adjusting recipes to the skewed taste profile of patients. Imagine is everything you ate tasted like metal. The video below introduces the Healing Kitchens Institute of Commonweal. I learned a lot in filming the class and conducting the instructor interviews, particularly as I lost both my parents to cancer and I want to understand all I can about the disease and care.
Here is the link to the Healing Kitchens Institute and the video I shot and edited for them. Good people.

When Shaman's Cave echoes for you, sit and listen. You'll know what I mean. Contemplate the universe. Soak up what nature has to offer you. ~ Kate Swavely
Logging into Word Press today a notification of my four-year anniversary with Travel Scout Adventure fluttered across my screen. A whole year looms between this post and my last. I'm nervous to rebrand my myself and my blog yet, here I sit listening to…
In preparation for my first backpacking trip, my crew and I decided to test run our gear by hiking the 10-mile Fossil Creek Wild and Scenic River located in Coconino National Park.
The best part about central Arizona is you only need one or two hours to get anywhere if you live in the Phoenix/Scottsdale. Below I have compiled my favorite escapes that you can make a day or a weekend out of.
Iceland is the coldest, hot place to be. The people have spoken, the masses want a shot at the Aurora Borealis and the Blue Lagoon. I can name a handful of friends and acquaintance who are packed and ready to fly to the frigid nation.
One day, hiking in the Utah wilderness I found myself in a bit of a sticky situation (The Day the Desert Tried to Kill Me). Luckily, I had basic essentials like food, water, and sun protection. There were some items, looking back, that would have come in handy. It can happen. A traveler can only have luck for so long until something goes wrong.

Hey loves!
I haven't made a video in soooo long. Like 2 or 3 months for sure. I want to start making them again. Especially beauty related vids. If you guys have any special requests you can always leave them in comment section.
I was watching an episode of Basketball Wives LA (I'm still trying to catch up!) and Draya (loves her) was wearing this awesome purple lipstick (I think it was matte too). I've been on the hunt for purple lipsticks ever since. Check it out.

Three Line Riders sled, skid, and sail across a choreography of lines. Written between 1804 and 1808, the accompanying music is from the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's '5th symphony'. It's "one of the best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies." YouTuber DoodleChaos drew, synchronized, and tested the course for more than three months.
In case you missed it: Dance of the Line Riders and Mountain King, and Marbles & Magnets synchronized to Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers.
There is no animation happening here. Any time a character leaves the screen they are being directed by unseen lines to the next location.
This is not the full length of the piece. I spliced together parts to make it possible for me to finish the project in a practical amount of time.
Thanks, Jonah.

Cora Lonning has been a member of ATD since 2001. Here's her story in her own words.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Currently I am an executive coach and organizational development consultant. I develop organizations through self-leadership skills; this is based on cornerstone competencies of self-management, self-awareness, relationship management, and organizational awareness. I have been in the talent management industry for over 15 years.
What are your personal and/or professional goals?
Professionally I will generate a digital class.
Professionally my book will be written.
Personally I continue to act in ways that promote health and wellness; and I express gratitude for all the ways I currently experience wellness.
Personally I continue to act in ways that promote strong and enduring personal relationships; and deeply appreciate my marriage that is the cornerstone of so much of what makes my life a magical place.
What challenges have you had to overcome in your career?
I think the biggest challenge, really, has been getting over myself. What has been great about being in the talent development field is you are exposed to development—daily! How cool is that? Therefore, I have taken assessment after assessment. Experienced 360 profile feedback, and continuously received feedback in sessions, from course designs, from presentations, and so on. When you are in a field that explores human behavior and in a role that is continuously out in front of people, one thing you get is feedback. At the very beginning when I would hear, "May I offer you some feedback," I would do the whole eye-roll thing, and internally be like, "Whatever."
Yes, I have had to get over myself!
Nowadays I look at feedback as the gift that it is—the perception of another that exists outside of my own lens. I also get to learn so much about another person through the feedback they give me about their experience of me, my presentation, the material, and so on. As Freud said, "No human can keep a secret when you listen long enough." It is in listening to each other—through feedback and disclosure—that we truly, truly learn about self and others. I have been my greatest challenge, and I have enjoyed every mile along the way, and thank all the players along the journey!
What's the most valuable thing you've gained or experienced during your membership with ATD?
Learning from other learning professionals! The networking has been invaluable! This is in the meeting, the written knowledge (books, digital), and the webinars of professionals sharing knowledge.
Could you share any professional tips, specific to talent development, that you have picked up along the way?
Fundamentals matter. Stay on top of trends, technology, breakthrough research. However, through it all, do not forget the fundamentals. No matter how flashy the new technology, how enticing the new research, how sexy the latest trend, at the end of the day we still have a responsibility to provide a framework and pathway that enables and empowers the learner to learn. If the technology does not do that—or worse, gets in the way of that—it is not a good solution. If the latest trend facilitates that in ways we never imagined, jump on board! Fundamentally, what we do must pass the litmus test of, "Is this or is this not facilitating learning?"
What's a common misconception you see when it comes to talent development?
So often the last person included in the talent development conversation—both in the business organization and in professional development organizations—is the learner. I wonder what it would look like to bring the learner into more conversations?
Not the experts, but the users! Less of what we think and more of what they experienced.
Less of our intentions and more of their application.
Yes, we do surveys; however, that is somewhat of a sterile—and managed by us—collection of data that has the potential for bias.
What would a national conference look like to bring in learners who talked about their learning experience in some of the best—and worst—environments? What would it look like to observe learners live in an LMS system? Trying to navigate learning framework?
Now that would be interesting!
The misconception, to me, is that we are the holders of knowledge. Which is a pedagogical perception. Our learners are adults. I believe it is time for an andragogical perception that places a high value on collaboration and mutual respect between learner and facilitator. This starts at the top.
Do you have any advice for people looking to further their careers?
Learn from others. Network—both inside and outside your industry. Build relationships with your leadership team and other leaders. What are business problems? What do solutions look like? Who is where you want to be? What are they doing and who are they doing it with? What do you have to offer that they might enter into a joint mentoring relationship?
What is your personal definition of talent development?
Providing the framework and clearing a pathway to skill development; and empowering individuals to become the best version of themselves while pursuing their personal and professional goals.
How do you stay motivated?
Making sure that I continue to do work that plays to my strengths at least 75 percent of the time! When I am doing what I love and what I am naturally good at, it does not even seem like work and I cannot wait to get to it! Pay me or not, I am still going to do it!
Then, when I do have to do things outside of my wheelhouse, I strategically spread that work out to ensure I do it in bits and pieces and try to do it after I have done work that is energy generating!
How do you find meaning in your work?
Doing what I love and loving what I do! Knowing what my core strengths are, what my values are, and connecting to my personal purpose ensures that I am able to ride the storm of day-to-day ups and downs.
When a downer day comes along I am able to say, "How does this align with my purpose of 'growing organizations through developing people'?" If it does, I know that there is meaning in what I am doing, regardless of how drab the task is. If it does not, I am able to let it go with intention!

You've brought the spiritual down to earth in such a body lovin', soul soothing sensual way.

Fancy wedding at Marriott
When Dora from Budapest Wedding contacted me to work on this wedding as a photographer I was thrilled. I got very excited about all the details she told me on our first meeting. Catherine & Wei have been living in Hungary for several years already. So there was no question for them to organize a wedding in Budapest. They have chosen the elegant Hotel Marriott to host their big day, where they have invited all their friends and relatives. The day started with a fun and smooth bridal preparation at the hotel. Catherine's beautiful bridesmaids were such a big help for her during the day.
Then we went for shooting and filming and the couple were driving through the city in an elegant Zimmer Limousine. After we all headed to the church ceremony at the first district. For the reception Catherine surprised the guests with a different bridal look. She changed her dress and hairstyle and I convinced her to take a few more photos of her before she entered the ballroom. The evening started with a cocktail event, followed by a traditional tea ceremony between the families. A Chinese master of ceremony took care of the good vibes during the night, with lots of activities and program and the djs were playing the best modern hits. It was such a fun day and I extremely enjoyed working with this professional team on my side.
Special thanks to Dora for securing that all little details were at their place, and the day went smooth as possible. After this elegant wedding in Budapest I still know why I'm amazed by our Capital.

A/Visions 2
In collaboration with influential music monthly The Wire, this showcase brings together two of the most elusive acts from the British post-industrial underground. Weaving together themes of haunting ethereality and the sounds of generational divides, this double bill presents a portrait of contemporary experimental artists negotiating with their culture's long list of half-buried treasures. The soirée gets underway with Montreal's FREIDA ABTAN, who compellingly uses her own voice as a basis for audio-visual performances Next, former copyright terrorist (his work as V/Vm is both under-recognized and highly pertinent) and current hauntology figurehead James Leyland Kirby brings his alias THE CARETAKER to Montreal for a rare live performance that sees him manipulating old British ballroom 78's from the 20's and 30's into a mesmerizing elegy of whispering melodies and ghostly dust and scratches. Afterward, Steven Stapleton finally brings dark-ambient legends NURSE WITH WOUND to North America for an exclusive Canadian engagement, spotlighting the monumental breadth of their vast and often rare discography, which spans the range between drone-folk experiments, surreal poetics, and noir-jazz improvisations.

The Guardian: Brands need to wake up to maker culture
The Guardian took a look into the growing phenomenon of maker culture, particularly it's recent presence at SXSW, and included littleBits in their write up. The full article can be found here.
"What we do know is that teens of today will grow up with maker culture as second nature, and soon we'll all need to realise that the idea of making isn't reserved just for handcrafted bikes or artisan pickles."

There is nothing better than finishing a great novel than taking in the last line. Especially when it encapsulates all of the emotion and power of the book itself. These last lines are some of the very best.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
–F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (1925)
'It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.'
–Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities (1859)
So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see.
–Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937)
Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out.
–William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair (1847–48)
"Meet Mrs Bundren," he says.
–William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying (1930)
Everything we need that is not food or love is here in the tabloid racks. The tales of the supernatural and extraterrestrial. The miracle vitamins, the cures for cancer, the remedies for obesity. The cults of the famous and the dead.
–Don DeLillo, White Noise (1985)
The knife came down, missing him by inches, and he took off.
–Joseph Heller, Catch-22 (1961)
I don't hate it he thought, panting in the cold air, the iron New England dark; I don't. I don't! I don't hate it! I don't hate it!
–William Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom! (1936)
The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds, and the tranquil waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed sombre under an overcast sky—seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness.
–Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness (1902)
He loved Big Brother.
–George Orwell, 1984 (1949)
For some reason this made him laugh and he began to imitate the siren as loud as he could.
–Nathanael West The Day of the Locust (1939)
But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me and I can't stand it. I been there before.
–Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885)
