SS18 Collection
This season, I celebrate the colorful life and art of Frida Kahlo, Mexican painter, feminist heroine, selfie-queen avant la lettre. In her raw, sensual self-portraits Frida used sheer virtuosity to turn her personal pain into universal art, piercing your soul with her unflinching eyes. Frida suffered a lifetime of pain, her body weakened by polio and a horrific traffic accident, her heart broken again and again by the love of her life. But with every stroke of her brush she transformed her vulnerability into strength. Just look at how she painted her eyebrows: like the wings of a blackbird to highlight her unusual beauty in a single movement. Celebrating what made her different, without shame, without apologies.
Frida was the original feminine feminist. She depicted herself strong and androgynous with an exaggerated moustache and masculine suits, but also delicate and flirtatious: flowers in her hair, looking like an exquisite doll in traditional Tehuana lace. As a painter, she liberated feminine themes of identity, sexuality and fertility from their stigma. As a feminist icon, she still dares women today to dream, to grow, to be. Discover the Couture and Style collections of this season's theme.

The Technical University of Denmark has inaugurated a laboratory where researchers will complete a modular robot for use in e.g. offshore wind turbine platforms. The robot will be used for inspection, and the long-term vision is that it will be able to carry out underwater repairs on foundations and rigs.
There is a great need for a small, flexible, and highly robust robot that can operate under water when inspecting offshore wind turbines and oil rigs. As things stand, an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) with relevant personnel must be hired in order to inspect and repair damage to foundations. Such operations are both costly and weather-dependent, as they are only possible in good weather.
"We have a vision of creating a modular robot that is simple to operate—without the need for technical experts. Initially, it will be able to inspect and monitor, for example, the condition of the foundation of a wind turbine under water—or an ocean fish farming plant. In the long term, the intention is for the modular robot—which comprises several independent robots (modules) that can both work coupled together and individually—to also carry out repairs on the foundation," says Associate Professor Roberto Galeazzi, DTU Electrical Engineering.
The number of offshore wind turbines in Europe has increased significantly over the last decade—and consequently—the need to monitor, inspect, and repair wind turbine and oil rig foundations.
"The trend is moving towards developing small AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) to replace the current large and heavy ROVs. This requires the equipment used for underwater inspection and repair to be compressed, but the development is already undergoing. The concurrent development of an autonomous underwater robot therefore holds out enormous potential—both for the oil and gas industry and offshore wind farms," says Business Area Manager Ole Nørrekaer Mortensen, FORCE Technology. FORCE Technology has more than 20 years' experience of inspecting subsea oil rigs and pipelines, in particular. Some of Denmark's most talented robot researchers have developed the first prototypes of such an underwater robot at DTU's REMORA laboratory.
"Others are working on similar projects, but our robot differs in one key area. It is modular—which means that each individual part of the robot is able to work alone—or together with other modules. Working in unison, the robots can draw on each other's functions, thereby becoming fully autonomous. For example, if a robot has problems with his propeller, it can connect with a second module and move using its propeller. The same applies to many other areas—for example in relation to having sufficient battery performance," explains Roberto Galeazzi.
Using just a single module, the modular robot can install and replace sensors in a subsea docking station placed on the foundations of a wind turbine to provide continuous monitoring.
"The underwater robot will have the great advantage that it can be permanently installed on an underwater foundation where it can monitor and operate independently of the weather conditions. It can function autonomously and with a high degree of flexible and reliability—qualities that are much sought-after by both the offshore industry and fish farming. We therefore look forward in the near future to present the first prototype of an underwater robot," says Professor Mogens Blanke from DTU Electrical Engineering—acting supervisor for a few of the PhD students participating in the research.
The robot has been developed as part of DTU's commitment within autonomous systems under the auspices of Maritime DTU. The research is being conducted as an interdisciplinary collaboration across the University, drawing on knowledge of mechanical engineering, robots, electronics, environment, and marine research. The laboratory's work involves both developing hardware and software to ensure proper construction of the new modular robot.
The REMORA laboratory is a part of DTU's commitment within autonomous systems. The laboratory is supported by D/S Orients Fond, and the interdisciplinary collaboration between specialized disciplines takes place within the framework of Maritime DTU.

April 29th, 1778. Friday last an express arrived to the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, with the alarming intelligence that an American privateer had appeared off the coast of Kirkcudbright, and that the crew had landed and proceeded to Lord Selkirk's house, which they pillaged. The following is a letter from one of the Magistrates of Kirkcudbright to the Provost of Dumfries, which was brought by the above express:- Kirkcudbright, April 23, at twelve o'clock noon, - This morning, about ten o'clock, an American privateer, thought to be about twenty guns, appeared on this bay, and have plundered the house of St. Mary's Isle, the seat of the Earl of Selkirk, within a mile of Kirkcudbright, of all the silver plate, etc. We expect a visit from them on return of the tide, as they still hover in our bay. We are not in a state of defence, nor do we believe anything effectual can be done unless some of the King's ships had notice of them. If you had any troops we should be much the better of them; but I suppose all our injury will be over before you can assist us. Give notice to any person you think in danger. The vessel is three-masted, or ship-rigged I am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, JOHN MURDOCH
You will have heard before this reaches you that the crew of an American privateer landed at St. Mary's Isle, the seat of Lord Selkirk. The following are the particulars of that affair :-Between thirty and forty men landed from the privateer yesterday at ten o'clock, and gave out that they were a pressgang, upon which the country people fled. Three men entered Lord Selkirk's house with fixed bayonets, and pistols by their side, whilst the rest surrounded the house. They asked for Lord Selkirk, but upon being told he was not at home they desired to see the Countess. When she appeared they informed her that they must have all the plate, which her ladyship told them, with composure, should be given them, and accordingly ordered it to be delivered up, with which they went off without asking for jewels, watches or anything else. They said, if the Earl had been at home they would have taken him with them, and given them a sea voyage. They said there were other two vessels upon the coast; that they had been at Whitehaven, and set fire to some ships, but did not do the damage they intended. The ship appeared to be about twenty guns and 150 men, and the crew consisted of English, Scots, Americans, French, and smugglers, who were acquainted with the country; one of those who landed is said to have lately been a waiter at a tavern in Kirkcudbright. The three ships were fitted out in France. Our country is at present in a defenceless state, for which we have to thank the wisdom of the Legislature who refused to put us on the same footing with England, by allowing us a militia, and if any our country gentlemen should be carried off as hostages, they will have to thank themselves for totally disarming the country by their wise acts for the preservation of the game, which are so very congenial to the natural rights of mankind.

The best pellet stoves and wood burning stoves are appliances used for heating and cooking purposes using wood as fuel as well as wood pellets. The making of wood burning stoves involves a steel or cast iron fire chamber that is closed, a base of firebrick, and an air control system that is adjustable enough. A well-designed wood stove system can provide an even and steady heat for a living area in a more cost effective manner those other heating systems.
Stove pipes that are ventilated to a flue or chimney when once the fuel ignites will fill up with the hot gases of combustion. Since the gases from combustion are hotter than the outside air, they will be drawn up the chimney and to the outdoors. There is a damper located in the chimney that is used to control the airflow. The airflow is important to keeping the fire burning and moving the smoke and gases up and out of the chimney.
Many new stove designs will include an outside air source, which eliminates air having to come from the living space. This process creates a more efficiently run stove with less need for damper adjustment.
Regular ongoing maintenance of wood stoves is necessary for safety and operational purposes. Clearing ash from the stove, regular cleaning the stove chimney and pipes is very important. Creosote can build up in the chimney and can eventually cause spot fires that can spread to the structure of the home itself. Soot can block the flow of air through the stove and cause the backup of smoke.
The type of wood burnt in wood burning stoves is significant. Hardwoods and softwoods will provide approximately the same energy content, but the difference is noted in the rate that the firewood burns. Consequently hardwoods will take longer to burn, thus providing heat for a longer period of time. Softwood will burn more quickly and is more suitable for cooking.
It is also important to keep in mind that other combustibles such as coal, oil, kerosene, or gasoline must never be added to wood burning stoves as the fire produced may suddenly overwhelm the stove and the pipes and create a fire in the house.
With rising costs of energy many people have looked into alternative methods of heating their homes and the use of wood burning stoves has proven to be a very effective alternative. Today we find in over eight hundred thousand homes using this method of heating.
There are methods where a vogelzang wood stove review system can be used to heat an entire home, but most stoves are used as supplemental heating for sections of homes and living areas. Once a wood stove gets fired up and running the thermostat can be adjusted which will save overall heating costs.
The wood burning stoves available on the market can be purchase as stylish, attractive centrepieces in a room and can become a conversation piece, adding to the allure of the living space. If a person doesn't mind the maintenance of running such a device, the savings and the steady heat can be a real advantage and a great alternative-heating source.
How To Choose The Best Wood Pellet Stove
Choosing The Best Wood Pellet Stove can be a pretty tough decision. You can not really just buy a stove and try it out just to return it because that is a huge hassle. Plus that does not sound like a fun or good time. That would be a waste of time and money or even gas when taking the stove back to the store.
To find the best pellet stove in the market you need to search around and look at prices, look at stores that sell them and you need to talk to professionals or call up friends that you know have pellet stoves and ask them how they like it. After that you decide on what you want and there you go, a really great pellet stove. Some of the top names include Harman, Quadra-Fire, Maxim Heat, and St Croix.
Talking to your friends and family can help you out immensely when buying anything. Based on peoples thoughts about these products can be helpful to you in many ways. They can tell you what they paid for them. They can tell you where they bought it. They can recommend a store to you. They could even go with you to help decide what is best for you, your family, and your house.
There are many kinds of stoves out there. There are cook stoves. There are kerosene stoves. There are wood stoves. There are pipe stoves. Of course there are pellet stoves and plus many more. If you have any of these and one needs a repair you can easily just call the store where you got it and they will give you a number to call to have a professional sent out to your home to repair it for little to no cost.
Many families are now using wood stoves to heat houses because wasting money on heating bills in this economy is not helping anyone out. When walking outside or driving by you will probably see more houses out there with smoke coming out of their chimneys. It is so wonderful to walk outside and smell the wood smoke coming from these houses that it just makes you want one for yourself.

Remodeling your old bathroom and giving it a more personal touch should be cost efficient and innovative. You have to be a fearless DIY spirit to try some of our renovation projects. Home Fusions remodeling experts advise that no matter how much experience you have in remodeling, there are a few things you must consider before you start a project –
i. What is your time frame?
Do you have a deadline to your project? Does it have to be before Christmas before everyone comes in for a visit? Do you have another bathroom while this one is on a large revamp phase?
ii . What do you need to remodel?
Not everything that comes with an old bathroom needs replacement. We love antique tubs and curtain fixtures with a Victorian influence. The extent of a renovation depends on your personal needs and aesthetics. You may need to switch a water closet and match the color of the fixtures with the tiling. Alternatively, you may want to pull down a wall and install frosted glass partitions to let in more light.
iii. What is your budget?
Your budget depends on the extent of changes you want to make. Once you are through with steps 1 and 2, you will find it a lot easier to make a sound budget for your DIY project.
iv. Can you handle the task alone?
Just because you are choosing DIY projects, it does not mean, you cannot ask for help. Most office goers and full-time parents do not have the time or the energy to complete a massive overhaul like these. Always know where to find help if you need any. You can also subscribe to installation services and videos from homefusions.com to gain more insight into rebuilding and refurbishing. From color pallets to choice of tiles, you can find it all in these dedicated blogs.
v. There are little things you need to keep in mind
How much natural light do you need? Do you want to make outlets? What style of mirrors do you want? How many are right for a bathroom? If you want to install a new sink, storage space and water closet, telling your plumber in advance is a good idea. We remodel lighting options considerably while changing bathroom styles. Therefore, intimate your electrician in advance of any possible requirements.

The Odyssey has
just begun ...
Mars Odyssey is the newest spacecraft gathering data from Mars orbit. Its science instruments were turned on less than two weeks ago (19 February 2002). The pictures and information received in the first few hours have amazed the scientists who are very excited. As Dr. Steve Saunders said, "What we show today, although new and exciting, is only a glimpse of what is to come."
THEMIS is a Thermal Emission Imaging System consisting of two cameras. One records visible light images, like the ones you are used to seeing of Mars. The other is a thermal infrared camera capable of seeing during the night. These amazing images surprised even Principal Investigator Dr. Phil Christensen who says, "We have created a scientific instrument that has a clarity and a resolution and a quality that is truly going to allow us to peer into the dark recesses of Mars with a clarity that even I was surprised at."
These images are from the THEMIS instrument and were all gathered during the first six hours of first day. Click here for larger pictures and descriptions.
The GRS instrument consists of a gamma ray spectrometer and two neutron spectrometers. The instrument is located at the end of a six meter (20-foot) arm, called a boom, so the signals from the spacecraft do not interfere with the data from Mars. The boom has not yet been deployed, so the GRS scientists did not think they would have much to report so early. The early data was much more than they expected and they are very, very happy!
Click here for larger pictures and descriptions from GRS.
The third instrument, MARIE, stopped communicating with Earth after gathering a significant amount of data during the first four months or so of the mission. Engineers do not know why MARIE stopped communicating, and will spend the next several weeks troubleshooting to see if they can wake her up.
Odyssey has been incredibly successful so far. The launch was picture perfect, Mars Orbit Insertion (MOI) and aerobraking were fantastic and two of the three suites of instruments have returned spectacular data already. Everything is going as planned (or better) ... but success is not EASY! There is so much involved in a mission and so very much that can go wrong. Success is exciting, exhilarating and wonderful but that does not mean that every mission will be a success and when something goes wrong it is not necessarily a failure ... you regroup and try again.
Both Dr. Phil Christensen (TES/THEMIS) and Dr. William Boynton (GRS) had instruments on the ill-fated Mars Observer but they didn't give up. Phil got to send TES on MGS and now he has THEMIS on Odyssey. Bill had to wait 16 years but finally got a new opportunity. MARIE is not currently communicating but the scientists and engineers have not given up hope. They will be troubleshooting for the next few weeks and hopefully we'll hear from MARIE again.

Next time you're at Walmart, grab a garden hose and make this viral Pinterest idea for your front door!
I have garden fever and was looking for a spring wreath to kick off gardening season. After seeing all the garden hose wreaths on Pinterest, I decided to add a twist and incorporate a pair of wellies, making it easy to add some garden blooms!
Since my wreath was going to hang on my Potting Shed door, I wanted to use real flowers on my wreath. Adding a pair of wellies or rainboots as vases makes it easy to add some seasonal blooms!
I found a lightweight 25 foot garden hose at Walmart, an ideal size and price for making a wreath at $5.97. You can recycle an old hose, cutting it to the size you need to make your wreath.
Coil your garden hose to the size that you would want your wreath to be, using cable ties to secure the hose. I used green garden twine to cover the cable ties, and tie on garden tools and a pair of gloves to decorate my wreath.
Some wellies/rainboots have a handy tab on the back, making it easy to run a cord or ribbon through to hang them. My pair did not, so I added grommets using a grommet kit. You can find grommet kits online for around $8. The wellies are tied together on a piece of sturdy jute ribbon that hangs from the wreath hanger on the door. I dropped in a plastic cup in each boot to hold water for the flowers.
Our azaleas are blooming now, making an instant and easy bouquet of pink blooms for the wreath. I used a MacKenzie-Childs Morning Glory gardening tool set purchased this spring to decorate my wreath, too pretty to dig in the dirt with but ideal for Tabletop Gardening with Bunnies and Spring Bulbs!
Gardener's Recipe:
One Part Soil
Two Parts Water
Three Parts Wishful Thinking
I need to amend my recipe to four parts wishful thinking with my growing list of shrubs, flowers and trees to plant. 😉
Gardener's Recipe sign / Primitives by Kathy
This is a fun and easy wreath to make to hang on a fence, shed door or decorate your front door for spring! Put your personal stamp on it, using a watering can, tools, seed packets, bird's nest, or whatever says 'garden' or 'spring' to you.

If you're the owner of a pooch who suffers one of the many types of dog skin allergy out there, chances are, you'd do just about anything to make sure that he or she still has a great quality of life. The great news is that just as "human" medicine has advanced, new developments in veterinary science also mean your dog has a better chance than ever at a long, happy, healthy life.
If you love your dog, allergies symptoms will probably make you incredibly worried – itching, scratching, biting, hair loss, stomach trouble and more are all common signs of dog skin allergy, whether they be to food, fleas, or items in their environment. Here are a few of the treatments available for dog skin allergy today:
If your pet is allergic to a specific allergen, for instance house dust, or pollen, or maybe a particular type of food, the simple choice is to keep them away from the dog skin allergy triggers – keep them out of the room when you vacuum, keep grass short, or avoid treats or foods that contain the ingredients they are allergic to.
Fatty Acids and Biotin
Interestingly enough, recent research has shown that feeding more Omega 3 and 6 fatty acid rich foods can help reduce the symptoms of dog skin allergy, by reducing the histamine response to allergens. On the other hand, Biotin, a B vitamin, helps reduce the itchy skin associated with dog skin allergy, so adding a supplement containing this, like brewer's yeast, to your dogs' diet, should make for an improved coat and skin.
Anti Histamines
Better known in the treatment of human than dog skin allergy, anti histamines none the less have had some good effect on affected dogs. Make sure you find out from your vet which work best, and note that a mild sedative effect is a common side effect of this kind of medication.
Basically, in dog skin allergy, as in human allergies, a milder form of the specific allergen is used to build up the tolerance of the dog to that particular allergen. It may take some time for this to be effective, and it can be expensive, so it's usually only resorted to when all else fails in dog skin allergy treatment!
When you think steroids, dog skin allergy treatment is probably the furthest thing from your mind, however, they can be some of the best, fastest acting and most effective treatments for your dog skin allergy problems. Of course, prolonged use is not advisable, unless under the strict supervision of a vet, but they will provide almost immediate relief from dog skin allergy symptoms like extreme itching!
These are by no means the only options as far as treating your pet's dog skin allergy. There are herbal, homeopathic and many other options you could explore, and topical treatments, shampoos, creams and ointments can all offer welcome respite to your four legged friend from his irritating and painful dog skin allergy symptoms. So if your pooch is looking under the weather, find out if it's an allergy – and if so, try one of these solutions!

How many trees we would have cut down to build our homes? Weren't they homes to many before us? How many jungles we would have scrapped down for our infrastructures like schools, roads, hospitals and what not? There used to live many more wildlife in harmony unlike humans. Some or the other way we are all guilty of it. Few of us feel it while a few do not. So, take this opportunity to give back to the nature what we have been exploiting from years now. Let us act upon the climate change, let us do what best can be done to save and flourish the existing forest and also let it increase. Healthier forests, purer air, purer water, safer cities and towns so that wild have their homes to stay within and we have ours.

Ecologists have long noted the importance of geology in the global and regional distribution of organisms. Life, ranging from macro- to microscopic, exists on and within a mosaic ofgeologies that vary across both space and time. The contributions of geologic phenomena to maintaining and generating biotic diversity are twofold. First, large-scale geologic events (e.g., continental drift and rising of mountains) create discontinuous or patchy landscapes. Second, within this patchwork of landscapes, parental geologic materials such as igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks can become exposed, leading to the development of soils differing in chemical and physical characteristics. This creates opportunities for colonization and differentiation of species. The edaphic factor pertains to physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil resulting from these geologic phenomena. Discontinuities in the edaphic factor have contributed to the intriguing patterns of diversity we see in the biotic world. Edaphology is a branch of soil science that studies the influences of soils on organisms, especially plants. It includes agrology, the study of human uses of soils for agriculture, as well as how the features of soils affect human land use decisions.
According to soil ecologist Hans Jenny, soils owe their distinct characteristics to five interacting factors: climate, organisms, topography, parental rock, and time. If all but one factor (e.g., parental rock) remain unchanged, then variation in a soil body can be attributed to that one factor. Botanists have long recognized that the distribution, habit, and composition of vegetation are greatly influenced by the edaphic factor. The striking effects on vegetation of unusual and often extreme substrates (e.g., serpentine, limestone, dolomite, shale, gypsum) are apparent even to amateur naturalists. Whereas climate broadly defines major biomes (e.g., tropical rainforests, temperate deciduous forests, deserts, tundra), it is geology that enriches diversity within these zones. The role played by the edaphic factor in the distribution of plant species was keenly observed and recorded by many eighteenth- and nineteenth-century plant ecologists, who considered soils second only to climate as the major ecological determinant of plant distribution. It was in the twentieth century, however, that ecologists fully appreciated the role of the edaphic factor in generating habitats within which plants and their associated organisms live, interact, reproduce, and diverge over time.

Dior and I ❤ an unmissable glimpse into the wonderful world of fashion…
I adore fashion. I am a full time mummy now, but just getting a fashion magazine, flicking through the beautiful images of the latest trends, styles and accessories just gives me pure pleasure. Even the gorgeous advertisements which adorn the pages of say Vogue or Harpers Bazaar transport me to another world.
I have always wondered how much more goes into creating and running a fashion house. When I worked in Public Relations I was lucky enough to visit some of the great fashion houses in Paris as part of a press group I was taking around, and it is just amazing to see how these great brand names are run and function. When I was a model for a brief time I also was lucky enough to be part of a few runway shows and saw on hand how exhausting and how much work goes into it all.
I also love watching movies related to fashion as you all know. The latest movie I watched just last week was set around the great fashion house of Christian Dior. Today's review is about this unmissable masterpiece.
The Movie –
Dior and I brings the viewer inside the storied world of the Christian Dior fashion house with a privileged, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Raf Simons' first haute couture collection as its new artistic director—a true labor of love created by a dedicated group of collaborators.
Melding the everyday, pressure- filled components of fashion with mysterious echoes from the iconic brand's past, the film is also a colorful homage to the seamstresses who serve Simons' vision.
My Verdict –
I could not take my eyes off the screen from the very start. Raf Simons is an extremely modest, gentile designer, but under his quiet exterior lies a pure genius.
Watching him transform the very classical designs of Christian Dior is a beauty to behold. Taking fabrics adorned with classical prints of flowers, and changing them into more modern fabrics inspired by Raf's favourite designers is just inspiring.
The finale is Raf's first Haute Couture showing at Christian Dior. We are taken through every step of the way leading to the huge display of his creativity. It does not disappoint, from the amazing rooms in Paris filled with flowers where the show is held, to the numerous celebrities and fashion greats who come to see what Raf has produced.
For anyone even remotely interested in the world of fashion, this movie is a definite must.

Chicago's 'sanctuary city' threat is just posturing
What about jobless Americans?
There are some critical elements missing from any discussion about President Donald Trump's executive order and his threat to withhold federal funding to cities like Chicago that provide "sanctuary" to illegal aliens.
First, the federal government cannot "force" local governments to enforce its immigration laws. As long as these cities honor detainers for illegal aliens in their custody and do not prohibit federal agents from doing their jobs, they aren't likely to lose any federal money because they have not violated 8 U.S. Code Section 1324.
Second, why aren't the defenders of "immigrants" and "refugees" showing equal concern for the 50 million working-age Americans the federal government says are jobless? Why aren't they demanding to know why the government is permitting 8 million illegal aliens to remain in their payroll jobs in the construction, manufacturing and service industries?
Are these jobs Americans won't do? Not according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which says the majority of those jobs are already being done by Americans.
If you haven't noticed, nobody in or out of Congress, especially the media, can be bothered with such questions. These are issues far more critical in the long run than how much cities like Chicago deserve to lose financially if they are breaking the law.

The missing link? Rail station
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Commissioner Ginger Evans are to be commended for their bold plan to expand O'Hare's passenger facilities ("Airlines, City Hall setting a crucial flight plan for O'Hare," Jan. 28). There's one element still missing from the city's expansion plan: a railroad station that will allow Amtrak, Metra and the future high-speed trains direct access into the airport.
A main-line railroad connection to the O'Hare passenger terminal would expand the market for the big international and long-distance planes. The hundreds of daily slots used for connecting flights to places like Milwaukee, Springfield, Moline and Grand Rapids can be put to better use, reducing the pressure on growing landing fees.
Europe's busiest air hubs have had air-rail intermodalism for almost 30 years. By substituting trains for small, inefficient feeder flights, these airports open up more slots for the big jets that deliver valuable economies of scale.
According to a study released last year by the Transportation Research Board, O'Hare's hinterland is as big as those of the successful rail-served airports in Europe. If O'Hare is going to keep growing, it will need intercity passenger trains to bring Midwestern air travelers into the terminal. Only a full complement of trains at hourly intervals will enable O'Hare to reduce the clutter of those pesky feeder flights and make efficient use of its air and ground space.

Magical Pencil is a video game telling a story about a journey of a deserter who has a magical pencil by which whatever is drawn becomes real. In the game, players can create whatever they want by hand drawing to help the character gets to his home. The game can recognize what the player is drawing, and spawn a corresponding item in the game world, with an appearance of the player's doodle, to interact with the player.
We all remember how cool it is when we saw Neo in Matrix saying "Guns, lots of guns." Thus what if we get whatever we need in a video game just as simple as that? Then the purpose of the game switches from managing to obtain the game item to figure out what item is one of the solutions.
Moreover, hand drawing recognized by the game is a huge "Wow" moment, which is powered by the magic of Machine Learning. Riding on a motorcycle that was drawing by the player is another level of mind-blowing.
Most interactions in video games are done by pressing some buttons or by clicking some virtual buttons, while quite a few of them like Kinect games by gestures or other sensors. My research was focusing on new game inputs since traditional game inputs are hard to satisfy what an ITP-ish game needs. Line Rider is the first one that caught my attention, in which players can draw a slope freehandedly and the game character sleds down the slop.
Scribblenauts is a vocabulary based video game allowing the player to create any in-game objects they want by typing in the names of the items, hence solving game puzzles in creative ways.
The idea of drawing in games is intriguing because of its simplicity and expressiveness. Creating whatever players want is unusual and neat. What if I combine them, allow the player to draw whatever they need by doodling, and also give the game object an appearance identical to their sketch?
Next, I did more research on drawing related games, found out that at this time point, none of them is allowing players to create game objects by drawing freely.
When Google introduces the Quick Draw project, my mind was blown. This technology will play a crucial role in my game, so the next step is researching to figure out if Doodle Classification can be integrated into my project. Luckily, Google open sourced its Quick Draw dataset, so it is possible to train an ML model. Benefited from the Kaggle community, I did it.
Further reading
The storytelling part of this game is oriented by the game mechanism and my personality. The protagonist is a soldier but has no nation; thus I molded him a cat, to implying the detachment of our real world. Besides, he decided to be a deserter because I hate wars and the best thing I can imagine is staying with families peacefully, just like everyone on this earth.
On his journey, trails and challenges are lurking and ready to rive him in pieces. There're mountains blocking his way, deserts roasting him, dark woods trying to trap him and home guards wanting him dead. Blessed by his faith and the magical pencil, he managed to go forward. The game includes five scenes, yet the story has not ended, but we all know he will eventually see his family again.
Parallel to the storyline, there is a level called "Another World." How to enter it is by drawing a door, then stepping into it. This level is an empty white room, in which players can purely enjoy interacting with their own creations, and exploring various effect brought by combination of different game objects..
Technical Details
The game client is powered by the Unity Engine and the doodle recognition by Tensorflow and Google Quick Draw Dataset.
Animations are hand drawn frame by frame.

Rakesh Manchanda for BeyondHeadlines
A Bird asked a Bee, you work so hard to get honey & people steal.
Don't you feel sad?
Bee – `NO`, because people can never steal my team work, my skills and my art of making honey each day…!!
What if Bee is a GM-Clone?
What if honey as a safe food is Genetically Engineered?
Instead of sticking to safe food agenda, Let us chuck in a slightly different trajectory of real life what happens if the GM invention and a clone product refuses to be obedient to its master.
Here is a slice from an old Bollywood blockbuster Robot:
Professor (Rajnikant) wants to create the first robot in India which would not only serve tea and coffee to its masters but would have the power to serve humanity in more meaningful ways
He creates Chitti, the humanoid who looks exactly like him (Inventor) and is willing to do anything while obeying the orders. Trouble begins when he goes a step further and teaches the machine to feel. Chitti falls in love with the professor's girl friend, Sana (Aishwarya Rai) and ends up becoming an almost undefeatable rival in love. Courtesy the red chip that a rival scientist played by Danny Denzongpa infuses in him.
What's more important is the fact that you and I actually don't mind when the bullet in 3-D Cinema whizzes out of his forefinger and hits the man in front in the head.
Instant fast death. Wow! The movie was a big hit and a paisa vasol entertainment with cent percent recovery satisfaction to the audience).
Robot movie has a hidden message.
Can the creator tame the rogue robot or will machine rule over man?
Back to real life:
Business team as real masters stands lazy hiding behind the politicians and say we are the `last change makers` and always want some magical powers to work.
The biggest Business Lobby is Government. Government of India with KG Basin scam FIR tainted ministers like Veerappa Moiley are articulating GM Trials GM.
Political space and GM trial resistance once initiated by Left Parties have now got joined by AAP.
It is interesting to note that only four countries or only four governments out of 200 in the world today use Genetically Modified Crops.
USA is unable to promote and push GM Crops and seed patent control in other countries since its first use in America fifteen years ago.
America of course is hiding `Business Terrorism` by buying a section of agriculture scientist opinion as they do in Pharmacy clinical studies.
The real threat is farming in agriculture as way of life shall soon be rechristened as Pharming (Pharmacy).
During Childhood we heard about field trial of Army tanks or chemicals. Then much later we heard about Robots and Bollywood blockbusters.
So why a field Trial on Food Crop?
Do trials increase productivity and profits; at what cost?
During trial GM trial there is no guarantee to reverse the side effects and protect the Seed Swaraj or Crop Self Rule.
Sample a rural survival kit- a crop grower in one field prayers that the crop of his neighbor should be safe and should not carry any disease. Why? Any problem or threat in the neighborhood invites future problems in your own crops.
Field trials on Bt Okra (lady finger), Bt. Rice, tomatoes and Brinjal got away unchecked.
Why GM Pharma promotion which in shape of BT Brinjal after disputed trials got stuck only in four countries including America shows it is ant- nature and representation of false science for Profits?
Such trials have already forced 2.66 lakh farmer suicides in BT Cotton. Trials must be stopped. Farmers must be allowed to practice safe agriculture and safe organic farming instead of Pharmacy under GM hidden agenda of profit to American Monsanto.
We the citizen of India seriously demand, as a birth right, that our food production systems; our distribution system and our consumption pattern should not be monopolized by the corporate interest. Field trials are hidden routes to corrupt our food production. This not only exploits us economically but also posse's dangerous concerns for climate change, Global warming and the existence of our healthy bodies.
We all have a natural right to safe food, Ecological Swaraj and environment. A right to make informed choices about something as basic as Food & Environment is a must. This would get violated if GM (Genetic Modified) foods are approved.
Make sure you, me and others are not made into laboratory rats in this corrupt, irreversible, unsafe and unaccountable experiment with transgenic foods.
(Views expressed are personal.)

Routine sputum cultureSputum culture
Routine sputum culture is a laboratory test that looks for germs that cause infection. Sputum is the material that comes up from air passages when you cough deeply.
How the Test is Performed
A sputum sample is needed. You will be asked to cough deeply and spit any phlegm that comes up from your lungs into a special container. The sample is sent to a lab. There, it is placed in a special dish (culture). It is then watched to see if bacteria or other disease-causing germs grow.
How to Prepare for the Test
Drinking a lot of water and other fluids the night before the test may make it easier to cough up the sputum.
How the Test will Feel
You will need to cough. Sometimes the health care provider will tap on your chest to loosen deep sputum. Or, you may be asked to inhale a steam-like mist to help you cough up the sputum. You may have some discomfort from having to cough deeply.
Why the Test is Performed
The test helps identify the bacteria or other type of germs that are causing an infection in the lungs or airways (bronchi).
Normal Results
In a normal sputum sample there will be no disease-causing germs.
What Abnormal Results Mean
If the sputum sample is abnormal, the results are called "positive." Identifying the bacteria, fungus, or virus may help diagnose the cause of:

Sputum test - illustration
A sputum sample is obtained by coughing deeply and expelling the material that comes from the lungs into a sterile cup. The sample is taken to a laboratory and placed in a medium under conditions that allow the organisms to grow. A positive culture may identify disease-producing organisms that may help diagnose bronchitis, tuberculosis, a lung abscess, or pneumonia.

Two weekends ago we had so much fun with friends we hadn't seen in awhile. We invited them and their kids over for a brunch out by the fire – it was so cozy. After brunch the kids went off to play and the adults just sat and talked. It's been awhile since we have had time to just sit and chat with friends.
These are made with spinach, sour cream, cheddar cheese and lots of fragrant spices. My husband likes them so much he brought leftovers to work for lunch for a few days after this.
I love the color and flavor of a fruit salad. I was lucky that all these melons were available and ripe!
Dessert!! You can't go wrong with dessert!

Systek Labs started out over thirty years ago, designing switching power supplies for portable test equipment, RF devices and antennas, analog audio devices and amplifiers, and wireless biomedical electronics ... a plethora of small consumer devices, in fact.
The future, though, pointed to wireless communications and data. So, armed with a proven background in analog and digital wireline and wireless design and a desire to evolve with the worlds of one- and two-way wireless data, Systek Labs tossed its lot in with the world leader in such technologies and set out into the newly-emerging fields of Paging and Wireless Data. The Systek Labs crew has been a leader in these wireless fields ever since.
