Artist Notes: The Eagle
Nebula is based on a NASA photo that shows a vertical image.
But I see the eagle when I place the image horizontally, and that is
how I painted it. I am in love with the motion. As in all the nebula
series I get the joy of free, abstract brushstrokes within a realist
context. The Eagle Nebula is in the constellation Serpens, a young,
open cluster of a few thousand stars that were formed from a giant molecular
cloud. They are still loosely bound to each other by gravitation, and
active star formation is still going on. The painting is acrylic on
stretched canvas on heavy duty stretchers, with painted sides. A frame
is not necessary.
This original space landscape painting is available online for $1,000 at

NVIDIA launched the long-awaited next generation of graphics cards from the company, the GeForce RTX. The new high-end graphics cards series are the GeForce RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti which is based on the company's new Turing architecture, the new graphics card focus on real-time ray tracing application in gaming as well as artificial intelligence. In this post, you will know everything about Nvidia's new Real-Time Ray Tracing technology!
What is Real-Time Ray Tracing technology?
Ray tracing is more of a physical version of drawing than traditional game graphics approaches, which are more comparable to art through rasterization. Ray tracing is a calculation of the physics of light, originating from the camera's viewpoint and tracing into the camera frustum. As far as we're concerned, as players, that'd mean that the rays being traced originate in our 'eyes,' then project outward and onto the scene. These rays trace bounces off of objects, working in reverse from the camera to the object, to the source of light. Once we've found the source of light, the GPU can compute the physically accurate rendition of how that ray bounces off of surfaces and reaches our camera.
Ray tracing certainly promises to bridge the gap between reality and virtual reality, which is why Nvidia's graphics cards are such a big deal. But that also means they are a lot more expensive than one would have hoped.
Nvidia's website says:
Ray tracing is the definitive solution for lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows, offering a level of realism far beyond what's possible using traditional rendering techniques. Turing is the first GPU capable of real-time ray tracing.
How does it work?
Ray tracing is a rendering technique that has existed for a long time, but it is extremely computationally expensive. It has never really been used to render things in real time because it has basically been impossibly slow.
It basically involves estimating the path of every ray of light, and how it reflects and interacts with different materials and textures. So light will refract off of a glass surface one way, or a felt surface another way.
Before ray tracing, lighting scenes in games doesn't work like it does in real life. It is just an approximation of a model.
Ray tracing, on the other hand, is literally a simulation of how light actually works.
For example, if you have a very large light source, like an overcast sky, the shadows that the light casts will be minimal because there is light coming from many different angles. But if there's one small light in a room, the results will be very different. Shadows from that small light source would be much harder, and that light would also bounce off the walls, which would reflect some light too – and so the reflected light may also change in color if the walls aren't white. And if the shadow is from an item close to the wall, it will be a harder shadow – and when you move the item further from the wall, the shadow would become softer – due to the ambient light in the room, and the diffraction of that light.
What Does Real-Time Ray Tracing Mean for Gamers Today?
Real-time ray tracing technology will not improve your graphics in all the games you play. They only help you in games that support NVIDIA RTX technology, and only if you enable ray tracing at the cost of some FPS.
Here's the list of games that NVIDIA announced will support NVIDIA RTX. More games will support it in the future, of course—but these are the first ones:
- Assetto Corsa Competizione
- Atomic Heart
- Battlefield V
- Control
- Enlisted
- Justice
- MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries
- Metro Exodus
- ProjectDH
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider
NVIDIA announced three different GPUs in the GeForce RTX 20 series. RTX 2070 cards will start at $499, RTX 2080 cards start at $699, and RTX 2080 Ti cards start at $999. These are higher-end enthusiast GPUs, but they're much more affordable to the average gamer than a $60,000 supercomputer.
You can preorder the "Founders Editions" of these cards from NVIDIA, but they'll cost you $599, $799, and $1199, respectively.
Cryptocurrency prices have gone down, and GPUs aren't as useful for mining as they used to be, so hopefully, it will be easier for gamers to get their hands on this hardware.
These cards are now the fastest NVIDIA GPUs you can buy, so it's not all about ray tracing.
Specifically, NVIDIA says that the RTX 2080 is 50% faster than the GTX 1080 when running at 4K resolution in games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Wolfenstein II. NVIDIA says this should result in a performance of 60 frames per second at 4K resolution in games like Call of Duty WW2, Destiny 2, Far Cry 5, and Battlefield 1.
Also, NVIDIA announced a new Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS) technique that uses the Turing cores on the RTX GPU. DLSS uses deep learning and AI to predict pixels, and NVIDIA says this can improve performance by 75% in games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Final Fantasy XV. The game developer has to add support for the technology, however, so it won't work in all games.
Wrapping Up:
Initially, it is likely that ray-traced elements or specific scenes will appear as features mixed into games, rather than being used to create entire games, since the vast majority of gamers won't be able to run RTX for quite a while. Some game devs have also said that it would be a massive undertaking, and a large performance hit, to re-architect their titles to support ray tracing — no matter how fast the ray tracer itself is. Nvidia is certainly chumming the water, with a solid list of titles it claims are actively working on implementing real-time ray tracing using RTX, but we'll have to wait and see what they actually deliver and when.

Hi @mikecimi,
Could you provide me the MID using a private comment (visible to only moderators)? Normally when a sandbox is set up properly I would see that serial number connected to a merchant on my end. That will help me figure out why you're not seeing the tip screen.
As for manual intents, intents like ACTION_SECURE_PAY work, but there may not be a third-party API to process all the actions you are looking for. We released the PaymentConnector recently to make it easier for developers as it is essentially a wrapper for what was previously manual intents, as well as encompassing what the Clover device was intended to handle.
To receive updates and better support, I would strongly suggest moving to the Payment Connector and calling the connector methods, passing in the correct request objects. The methods work identical to our remote-pay SDKs (example for javascript here). Please let me know if you need any assistance in getting this working. Thanks!
Thanks Greg - we have tried a factory reset, disassociate, go through setup again and have the same problem. I'll send you the mid shortly.
We will move to the payment connector. We did try a sample app and found this in the logs, so maybe it's related:
04-04 03:23:56.244 18872-18872/? E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.clover.payment.builder.pay, PID: 18872 android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=com.clover.remote.terminal.action.V1_START_REMOTE_TERMINAL_KIOSK (has extras) } at android.app.Instrumentation.checkStartActivityResult(Instrumentation.java:1632) at android.app.Instrumentation.execStartActivity(Instrumentation.java:1424) at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:3439) at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:3400) at com.clover.payment.connector.PaymentConnectorControllerActivity.runSecurePayments(PaymentConnectorControllerActivity.java:280)
Can you clarify which "sample app" you mean? If it can't find the activity then it would have do with how the app was installed the Clover device.
Hi @justin.a,
We are experiencing the exact same issue as @mikecimi and are unable to install the Pay Display app via the store. We tried to install the Cloud Pay Display app as well as the USB Pay Display app. Both display "Failed to install Pay Display app, please check your network connection and try again." when trying to open them (see Logcat output below). Would you please push the requisite "Pay Display" application our test merchant?
Our serial numbers are: C021UQ71130216, C031UQ80430035 and C031UQ80430101.
Thank you,

Welcome to part 3 of my at-home fitness challenges! This week we're taking on the lower body with my 1-minute squat challenge. This fitness test is uber-simple, takes only one minute to complete, and is a great tool to regularly assess your lower body strength.
Squats are one of the most functional movements around. We squat dozens of times per day without even realizing it- everything from sitting down to the dinner table, getting in and out of our office chair, and even on and off the toilet! You may not be able to squat very low, but if you manage to go to the bathroom on your own you definitely can squat!
So, see how your squat game measures up and take my 1-minute squat challenge today!
The 1-Minute Squat Challenge
What you need:
- A stopwatch or timer
- A chair or other stable surface about the same height as your knees
Here's how to do it:
If you're a beginner, complete your test with a chair or stable surface behind you so you know how low to go. In the video I've used a box a little lower than my knee height to make it a bit more challenging, but the standard height is at about your knees. If you're already an experienced squatter you can do yours free-standing, but make sure over the course of the test your form and depth stays consistent.
1. Set your timer for 1 minute and start squatting! Make sure you complete each repetition with good form, just touching the box with your backside each time (don't fully sit down on the box!). Go at your own pace, taking rests as you need to.
2. Count how many squats you can complete in the 1-minute interval. See my video demonstration below!
3. Compare your results to the chart below!
4. Keep track of your results and progress! Complete squats as part of your regular strength training routine and you'll be setting new personal records in no time!

Prices quoted are based on an occupancy of 2 adults – there is a small supplement payable for additional adults or children between 7-12 years old – please ask for details.
This spacious 1 bedroom apartment of 41 square metres is located on the garden level with its own private 25 square metre south-facing terrace, kept cool and shaded in summer by a vine-covered pergola and terrace above.

Vence is an artist's town and along with its equally well-known neighbouring town of Saint Paul de Vence, is situated amidst the beautiful hilly scenery west of Nice. It has drawn artists both well known and amateur, and a special attraction is Matisse's Chapel, a short walking distance from the old town. Another is the Chagall painting in the Cathedral. There is a wide range of shops, restaurants and markets in the historical old part of the town, and the apartment is situated adjacent. The Mediterranean beaches of Nice, Antibes and Cannes are close by. Tennis, golf and other sports facilities are nearby, as well as a local outdoor swimming pool from May - Sept. With its close proximity to the hilly countryside, this makes the apartment an ideal base for those who enjoy the outdoors, walking and cycling. Within easy reach of Nice, its international airport and all that the Cote d'Azur has to offer.

Overall opinions of the accommodation were excellent. The best feature was the views - Mr B. from Ireland June 18The best feature of the accommodation was the location. Overall opinion of the accommodation was very good - Mr O. from Connecticut October 17I loved the apt - the location and the yard. When I was in St Paul de Vence 15 years ago I took french speaking classes at the cultural centre up the road and would never had thought that I would stay so close by the next time I returned. That was a nice surprise when I arrived! I would have liked to have played boules in the yard but ran out of time. The out door fireplace and sitting area looked very inviting but again we rain out of time. I loved unshuting the windows every morning. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Ms M. from Vancouver, Oct 13. The accomodation was very suitable for our needs (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied, the feedback to any questions or problems was timely and information supplied, sufficient. - Mrs M. from Germany, Oct 13. A very comfortable, quiet and well equiped apartment for 2 people, convenient to old town centre. Relaxing outdoor areas and very hospitable hosts. The information provided before our stay by Paul Rhodes at Joie de Vivre was excellent and very accurate. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mr A. from Australia, June 13.Absolutley idyllic setting and well presented property. The owner was a very warm and helpful host. The only thing that would have been nice is maybe a welcome pack (some water/wine/beer) on arrival. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mr W. from Sydney, July 09.Excellent. Just right for a few days away and ideal for a couple. Nicely placed for strolling round the locality. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mr W. from Worcestershire, Mar 09.Great location. Beautiful setting. Very good accommodation. Just as the website indicated. If and when we return to Vence I think we would like to stay in the same place. Milan was so very friendly and helpful. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Ms H. from New South Wales, Oct 08. We had the most fantastic week in THE OLD SAVONNERIE 3. The owners were absolutely delightful hosts and the accommodation was superb with its light and airy apartment and stunning gardens.  We enjoyed wandering in the Old Cite, having `cafe creme` while enjoying the amazingly talented buskers, purchasing some bargains in the colourful markets and just watching the world go by.  The Old Savonnerie was also perfectly located for expeditions into the wider environments of Monaco, Antibes & Cannes with its beautiful Iles and St Paul de Vence.  The walks around Vence were also something we greatly enjoyed.  All in all, I couldn`t recommend The Old Savonnerie more highly. Thank you for making the arrangements for us - Ms B. from Western Australia, Aug 08.   Fabulous, we had everthing we needed and more..the owners were so helpful and so kind. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mrs E. from New South Wales, Dec 07. Very good. Well appointed and a beautiful setting. (How satisfied were you with the property?)

The owners spoke English, French and German fluently which was extremely useful to all the residents. "Milan" the caretaker who managed the property for the majority of our stay was exceptional and overall both my wife and myself couldn`t have been treated with more consideration and help during our stay. Without doubt this is the best holiday we have ever had and we highly recommend it to anyone who would like to relax in luxurious and friendy surroundings in such a beautiful part of the world - Mr M from Wiltshire, April 07. ...we had a super time in Vence, the apartment was lovely, thank you for all your help in booking it - Miss W. from London, Sept 06.Excellent gite - beautiful location, clean and ideal for going into the Alps in the day but with all facilities needed in the town. Lovely gardens and views from the gite - dual aspect windows in the bedroom very nice - Miss L. from Derbyshire, Oct 06..

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport has urged all parties to come together to help make the provision of an additional runway at Heathrow a 'win-win' situation for everyone in the UK.
Over many years, CILT has advised Government and the logistics and transport industry by using the expertise of its members, who speak from widespread knowledge but are independent of any particular trade group or business.
In particular, CILT has contributed fully to the work of the Airports Commission, as well as to Parliamentary Inquiries and Government consultations. CILT supported the Airports Commission's recommendations, both in their Interim Report of December 2013 relating to a range of improvements at a number of airports, in particular to surface access, and also in their Final Report of July 2015 in terms of the recommended option.
To read all of the Institute's responses and further policy work, visit: http://ciltuk.org.uk/PublicPolicy/PolicyandGuidance
Paul Le Blond, chair, aviation policy group, CILT says: "The end to uncertainty over airports policy is welcomed by logistics and transport professionals, whichever option they supported, but there can be benefits for all parties, who can now take action to ensure that the decision is implemented in the best possible way for all.
"Logistics and transport operators, from airlines to freight companies, should use the opportunities that this decision will bring to plan long-term investments in more sustainable infrastructure, equipment and working practices, in order to create a lower carbon footprint and to meet air quality standards. "Communities around the airport should seize the opportunities created for employment and for supplying the expanding airport, not just immediately, but over a long-term period, through education, training and entrepreneurship."
Daniel Parker-Klein, head of policy, CILT adds: "Government must ensure that the benefits of the decision are fully realised. The conditions set by the decision, related to aircraft noise, air quality and road traffic, must be strictly enforced. This will enable improvements to roads, rail and other infrastructure to be properly planned and investment justified, it will send messages to the aviation industry about the need to continually improve environmental performance, and it will help towards meeting quality of life targets."
Kevin Richardson, chief executive, CILT says: "The whole of the UK must benefit from this decision. As well as the new runway providing better connectivity from the regions to London and then to the world, the Government should publish a draft National Policy Statement as soon as possible so that the UK's airports and the airlines which they serve can see a clear strategy ahead, local authorities can plan properly for growth and surface access providers can implement the improvements for many of the airports."
Report welcomed
CILT responded to the Transport Committee's report, Skills and workforce planning in the road haulage sector, published today.
Daniel Parker-Klein says: "We fully support the report, which we are pleased to see supports and cites our proposals. The impact of the driver shortage cannot be ignored and it is of utmost importance that the report's findings help influence industry and government to focus on recruitment and retention. "CILT will continue to work with the Transport Select Committee, industry and Government to ensure that the next steps taken will allow us to beat the driver shortage."
Contributing to the report, CILT submitted written evidence and appeared before an inquiry earlier in the year.
Jolyon Drury, Chair, Public Policies Committee, CILT, has been referenced after appearing before the Transport Select Committee in February 2016. He discussed the 'enormous pressure' on road haulage operators not to put up their prices. Jolyon Drury also highlighted, that the reluctance to join the industry can be put down to squalid driver rest conditions, due to the lack of properly equipped and secure truck parking. He emphasised the need for a necklace of truck parks located close to logistics hubs, and states that changes in planning legislation are required to make this happen both inside, and close to, distribution parks.
CILT's written evidence also reveals how many of its members have lost business as a result of the driver shortage. The report also shows that CILT is calling for a concerted effort by industry and government for better promotion of the sector in schools and colleges. The report concludes that a combination of factors is conspiring to keep drivers off the road, including the cost of acquiring a licence; lack of investment in drivers' training; poor working terms; and inadequate driver facilities.
Sir Peter Hendy, Chairman, Network Rail addressed over 200 leading rail professionals at The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport's (CILT) annual Rail Lecture in London. He covered what the future holds for Britain's railways; innovative approaches to funding and the mission to attract and retain a diverse and talented workforce.
Sir Peter Hendy, who is also a Vice-President of CILT, told those in attendance that there is a 'job for everybody in the new railway industry.' He spoke of the importance of our railways to the national economy and emphasised the significance of the railway in delivering growth in jobs, housing and the economy.
'Rail has seen its fastest level of growth since the Victorian era – so I have a very optimistic view on the future of Britain's railways,' stated Sir Peter. However, he was clear that the industry can do more to champion its contribution to UK plc. He said: 'The amount of senior people in the industry who can talk about why the railway is good and why you should invest in it is slim.'
The lecture was held in conjunction with the Railway Engineers Forum (REF). REF is a multi-disciplinary body drawn from professional institutions with strong railway interests.

Fashion Revolution have made an awesome Who Made My Clothes short film. Watch it, it's short and to the point.
Doesn't it just bring home how many people are involved in making our clothes, how many processes are involved and how global fashion production is? So global in fact, that transparency in the supply chain (yes, it's a bit of a dry and unsexy subject) is woefully lacking, to say the least. Fashion Revolution was founded in the wake of Rana Plaza. They're campaigning hard for greater transparency, so that brands can be held to account and meaningful change can take place. Hopefully this will put an end to any more Rana Plaza's. No life should end because of corporate greed and gross negligence, let alone 1,138. And no one should be able to wash their hands of responsibility or compensation to injured survivors and grieving families. Who Made My Clothes is such a simple message to tackle such a mammoth battle against unfathomable injustice, greed, poverty and unethical practice.
If you want to get involved, there are seven super quick and easy ways you can get behind Fashion Revolution during Fashion Revolution Week. Handy that, one for each day. We're now half way though but don't despair if you haven't done anything yet, there's still time. Plenty of time.
As I couldn't find a better image and this is pretty small, I've included the list below.
- Ask #WhoMadeMyClothes
- Sign the manifesto
- Send a postcard to a policymaker
- Create a love story
- Try a #haulternative
- Go to an event
- Donate
If we all worked together and everyone did just one of the actions listed above we could make an almighty impact in a very short space of time. I've been undertaking an action a day this week. Most have taken less than 5 minutes.
Here's my diary for Fashion Revolution 2018.
Monday 23.4.2018
Signed the manifesto. Took less than 5 minutes to read and a few seconds to sign. You can sign it here.
Tuesday 24.4.2018
Attended a brilliant Meet the Maker lunchtime event at The Fair Shop hosted by owner Siobhan Wilson and Revival Collective.
It was an absolute privilege to meet so many inspirational faces behind brilliant UK based sustainable fashion brands and organisations.
Emily Evans, Creative Director and Designer at Zola Amour spoke of why she set up her own fashion label; the concept behind her collection – a perfectly well-designed capsule wardrobe in neutral colours made from certified sustainable fabrics by Emily and her Mum (just so charming); the challenges of running a sustainable business; and the frustrations of communicating the virtues of organic, sustainable garments made in the UK to price sensitive customers who are used to cheap as chips fast fashion prices. I've just bought one of her dark grey tee's to add into my capsule and I can't wait for it to arrive. Knowing that Emily designed and made the tee makes it even more special. And because she's so conscientious about sustainability I don't have to worry about it's provenance or the supply chain behind it. You can read more about Zola Amour's story here.
John Pritchard, owner of Pala Eyewear spoke of the personal satisfaction of employing workers in developing countries and paying them a decent living wage specifically designed to alleviate poverty; the way in which Pala fund optical centres in developing countries; and the frustrations of blending sustainability with the costs and practicalities of running a business. An issue at the moment – the plastic shipping bags used by DHL and the lack of an eco alternative made in this country. You can read more about Pala's story on their website. To hear the level of detail that these sustainable business owners are going into is awe-inspiring. It was such an honour to meet the owner in person and to hear about Pala's philosophy first hand. I already own a pair of Maha Pala sunglasses, featured in one of my previous posts, and I can't recommend them highly enough. There are loads of other styles too – something for everyone. They come with a fab woven case, which is made of recycled plastic by fairly paid workers. Considering how much good these glasses are doing beyond protecting eyes from the sun's rays, they're very reasonably priced, especially compared to designer sunnies. And these look and feel like designer sunnies. I should know, I've owned a lot of designer sunglasses in the past. Something I'm not hugely proud of, but I'm a product of my time.
And finally, Christine Gent, well what can I say. She's one of the most inspirational, formidable and fascinating human-beings I've ever had the pleasure to meet. World Fair Trade Organisation Fair Trade Expert, owner of ethical bedding company Fairly Covered, on the board of the People Tree Foundation and involved with Fashion Revolution. She spoke about the challenges facing Fashion Revolution and trying to slow the pace of campaigning down to demonstrate the beauty of slow fashion; the importance of using good quality fabrics for sustainable and ethical clothes (and bed clothes) – grown fairly, produced fairly, traded fairly, crafted fairly, sold for a fair price; the need for legislation with bite to make meaningful and enduring changes within the industry; the importance and success of the Modern Slavery Act; the difficulty with wholesaling for sustainable businesses; and the challenging business decisions that have to be made to make sustainable business work.
These are just a few of the people making it possible for all of us to enjoy conscious consumerism; slower, fairer more equitable fashion. They're not just bleating on about the changes that need to happen. Or sitting around talking about how it's all too hard. They're out there, doing it, being the change, finding the creative solutions, solving the problems and I can't tell you how uplifting it is to be surrounded by people like Christine, Siobhan, Emily and John. I'd also like to take a moment to thank Hermione and Harriet, who work tirelessly to campaign, organise events, publish Zines and keep a finger in all of the ethical fashion pies via their fabulous blog Revival Collective.
I spoke at the event for a few minutes too. I spoke about the Six Items Challenge that I took part in last year, my journey towards a more sustainable wardrobe, having a work-in-progress ethical lifestyle, why I'm so angry at the high street fashion giants and have largely shunned them in favour of smaller ethical brands. To be honest, I felt completely unworthy next to the heavy weights of the sustainable fashion world and fear I waffled on and taught sustainable fashionistas to suck fair-trade eggs. But I'm glad I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I feel like a tiny cog in a fight against a monstrous machine but well, tiny cogs the machine maketh. I'm also delighted that I got to spend a lunchtime with some of the big cogs of the sustainable fashion machine.

Donated to Fashion Revolution. This took less than 30 seconds. Just a simple text sent from my phone.
If you want to donate £10, for example, send FASH18 £10 to 70 070. You can of course change the amount you wish to donate.

Posted #WhoMadeMyClothes on social media.
On Instagram:
#WhoMadeMyClothes @ukgap? Can you assure me they were safe? Paid fairly? That this was made in a factory audited for issues like fire safety? Unlawful Child-Labour? Or was this made in a factory to accommodate a massive order? Where the conditions, pay rates and employee rates are unknown. How transparent is your supply chain? If you don't know, why don't you know? Can I sweat it out in my #gapfit gym kit knowing that this wasn't made in sweat-shop conditions? And what about the fabric? Is it sustainable? Who dyed it? Who grew it? I'm so excited to hear back from you as I'll be honest your Gap Fit range is pretty awesome.
On Twitter:
#WhoMadeMyClothes @UKGap? Were they safe? Paid fairly? Was this made in a safety compliant factory? Is your supply chain transparent yet? And what about the fabric? Sustainable? Let me know, #Gapfit is pretty awesome so I'd love to know more about my tee. #FashionRevolution
I'm not holding my breath (and how annoying is that breathe in my yoga tee) for a reply. I didn't get a satisfactory response from Dr. Denim last year. And they hold themselves up as a sustainable fashion label. Gap are a high street brand, there have been grave concerns about the production of their clothes in the past, notably the involvement of child labour. But you know, I'll try and dial down my inner pessimist and hold out a tiny thread of hope. Watch this space.
Anyway, the point is that my questions are out there now and it took me less than 10 minutes to take a quick snap and post.
A productive 4 days so far.
Here are my plans for the rest of the week.
Friday 27.4.2018
In honour of the haulternative I'm off to Marwood Bar & Coffeehouse in Brighton tomorrow for a bit of clothes swapping. I've got 3 items to take with me that will hopefully be accepted for swap tokens. I can't wait to see what treasures I'll find from other peoples' wardrobes for my capsule. And I've invited a friend too, hopefully she can make it and we'll have a bit of a fun night out to boot. Decluttering, new clothes, seeing friends. Win, win, win.
Saturday 28.4.2018
Write To a Policy Maker. I'm planning to send a postcard to a policy-maker. I'm thinking about who to contact. Our local MP, Nick Herbert, has responded to my emails relating to other things in the past. But I don't feel he's the right person for this particular communication. I feel it needs to go higher. Watch this space.
Sunday 29.4.2018
Create a Love Story. Now, during a bout of decluttering this week I found my beloved dark grey Bibico cardigan. This has been missing for months. And you notice missing things when you have a capsule wardrobe. So it's not like I hadn't been looking for it but I just figured I must have misplaced it during the move. And I managed without it. And didn't see fit to replace it either. Which just goes to prove what I've been saying over and over since the Six Items Challenge, WE ALL NEED LESS STUFF. You will cope and have a happy life with less. I didn't suddenly have a nervous breakdown or bad day because I didn't have my favourite cardigan. It was fine.
The fab Bibico cardigan.
Back to my cardi. I'm ashamed to say that I found it scrunched up with some of the girls' clothes destined for the charity shop in the bottom of a carrier bag in the garage. Even though I don't need it I'm delighted to have found it. I noticed that it has a small hole in the seam and I'm planning to fix it. Yep, I'm actually planning to do a bit of DIY mending. That's how much I love this cardigan. And if my fix doesn't work out, I'll pay someone who knows what they're doing to do it for me. Loved, damaged, abandoned, lost, found, rescued, fixed and cherished. The life cycle of my cardigan so far. Welcome back. #lovedclotheslast.
So, that's it. Fashion Revolution Week done in Seven Easy Actions, Every Day.
And it doesn't end there. You can do any of the above any day of the year. Much like the global fashion industry is 24/7 365, so is the campaign to fight it and make it better for everyone.
There's loads more information in Fashion Revolution's download How To Be A Fashion Revolutionary.
I'd love to hear what you've been up to for Fashion Revolution or if I've inspired you to take any actions, even tiny ones.

Staying Relaxed this Holiday Season
The holidays can be a time of joy, but they can also bring a great deal of stress. It's easy to become frazzled with all the demands of your time and money, and your regular schedule becomes disrupted.
Here are some tips on how to stay relaxed during the holiday season, as well as some suggestions on how to avoid certain stress triggers:
Do less to enjoy the holidays more
The holidays seem to become an endless list of things to do as we try to bake, send cards, attend get-togethers, buy presents, etc. The list doesn't seem to end. Prioritize the tasks and events that are truly important to you, and if you need a break don't hesitate to say no to the others. Many people try to please others by doing everything, but you also need to take care of yourself.
Maintain your normal routine
Try to stick with your daily routine as much as possible in spite of all the demands on your time. Maintain your regular exercise schedule so you don't get off track, and although you can certainly have some holiday goodies, stick with your regular eating habits as much as possible. And finally, if you have hobbies or activities that you enjoy, find the time to maintain these over the holidays. Cutting back on your regular fun can make you feel more stressed than usual.
Increase the amount of sunlight you're exposed to
Sunlight helps boost your body's release of serotonin, a chemical that's produced by your body and can help improve your mood. It can also help relieve symptoms associated with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a form of depression that can occur when the days are shorter. You can get sunlight by going outside or staying near a window on sunny days.
Things to avoid:
Family disputes
If your family can't seem to get through a meal without arguing, suggest that you eat out at a restaurant instead of getting together at one of your homes. It's more likely that everyone will be more polite if they're out in public.
Strains on your budget
Holiday gifts can strain your budget, it can be hard to manage the extra expenses. Instead of stressing yourself out, try some alternatives. You could make homemade gifts, donate to a charity in your gift recipients' names, or suggest drawing names for a family gift exchange. Chances are good that other family members will be relieved at your suggestion.
Going it alone
Holidays can sometimes trigger depression or make existing depression worse. For many people, the holidays can be a less-than-joyful time, especially if you've experienced a difficult year. Don't try to work through things on your own, since most people need treatment in order to get better. It's important to talk to your family and loved ones about the way you're feeling.
If you have a particular concern or would like to find out more about taking care of yourself during the holidays, make an appointment today for an evaluation with Dr. Shawna Purcell in Olympia, WA

Todays Blockchain expert guest joining us on the show is a 34 year old, husband, father of 3, engineer, sports fan and huge geek when it to comes to automating and outsourcing any activity.
He is the co-founder of adbank network – a powerful online ad platform built on the blockchain, as well as co-founding a successful digital asset acquisition firm that controls over 6000 websites generating 6 figures a month.
As he says "I am no genius, I HAVE NOT found a loop hole on the internet that lets anyone get rich quick, I have not quit my job but because of my online income I am able to live the way I want to and have a level of security for my family a job today cannot provide.
Unfortunately, I can't say that making money from websites is easy but through my ventures I hope to show you that without a doubt it is possible and with hard work most people that commit themselves can do it.
For the last 5 years I have built up over 150 websites and use these to generate passive income, I am not an online guru I am just someone who has tried and tested many different methods. I am willing to test any system as long as it stays aligned with my online business cornerstone beliefs.
My Internet Marketing Beliefs…
Always add value
Google wants to deliver the "best" result so be the "best"
A website visitor is a renewable resource to be cultivated not something to be mined once, enjoy what you do online.
Many people may disagree with my beliefs and suggest there is a faster way to make money online.
They may be right, but what our guest is doing is building businesses that operate the way that the search engines want.
Building relationships, by nurturing those relationships.
Not chasing some get rich quick scheme, that fades as soon as the big boys realise someone is gaming the system.
So how did he develop his internet marketing beliefs, through building businesses that dropped like a stone, or simply by understanding what GOOGLE is aiming for?
Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr blockchain Jon Gillham.
Show Highlights
We discussed so many deep subjects on the show such as:
Jon talks about the shortcuts routes that he took for business that all led to failure before he realised that real work was needed to make the success he wanted.
We discuss the blockchain strategy that is creating a completely new and exciting way for businesses to start operating across the world.
And lastly………..
Jon shares the discussion that he had with his parents, and friends who considered his route to success to be somewhat risky.

From Los Angeles Lakers basketball games to red carpet looks, Kendall Jenner continues to be one of Hollywood's best-dressed stars.
Sure, the 23-year-old has had her moments where some fashion decisions turn into their own memes (we're looking at you, huge red winter coat), but no matter the look, Kendall always makes a statement. Even if she's not wearing much, like the time she posted a selfie in lace underwear or posed in the snow in a bikini, her style undeniably starts conversations and turns heads everywhere she goes.
It's safe to say that she'll be doing that exact same thing during 2019 Fashion Week, which kicks off in New York on Thursday. After the Big Apple, fashion's busy season continues on with shows in London, Milan and Paris. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has walked in her fair share of runways, including the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and a number of Fashion Week shows over the years. Remember when she made her debut in 2014 at the Fendi show and strutted her stuff in a see-through top and cropped wig?

Branding - It's about Perception
Why Branding and Sales Promotion are Not Interchangeable
In the world of promotion, branding has been called anything from a logo, to putting a logo on things, to a general image. If I may be so humble to speak for those of us who specialize in branding, a brand could replace the word "reputation." How a customer perceives you, your town, your product, experience or organization etc. is your brand.
Star Brands by Carolina Rogoll
A Great Branding Read in Star Brands.
I'm approached almost weekly to review books on branding and sales. Most don't match my core values but Star Brands intrigued me. I told Carolina that it would take me a few weeks to read it and then I would review it.
How Your Brand is Sucking the Life Out of Your Business
Your brand is this – your brand is that.
Some would have you believe that your brand is this OR that. The fact is your brand is everything. I enjoy speaking with businesses on branding and helping them to understand the what their focus should be in branding. It is almost without exception that business people assume that a brand doesn't extend much beyond the visual elements. Most think your brand is your logo and marketing materials. When you think of it, that's a lot of pretty heavy lifting for something visual. If that perception were true, brand problems would be a cinch to resolve – just change your image. Don't like that soft drink – change the logo. Do you think it will taste better? Not likely. I'm guessing you're going to have to tweak the recipe to lure you to buy.

MIG and proof againgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Repossession : One Thread
Hi all
I have found, to my delight, a stack of papers relating to my property purchase in 1989. However as suggested by Eversheds, there is no entry for MIG on the completion statement, only one for "additional payment required for 100% advance" of around Ł400. This was explained at purchase date as an insurance should the property be repossessed and there was a shortfall. I have yet to see the solicitor involved at the time, this is happening soon.
On a better note I havefound the origional advertising details, so when (its gone silent for 2 months) I get the marketing details in full I have got something more to compare.
Thanks for all your help, andgood luck to you all.

Over the last few decades, workplace design has lead to an increasingly open concept favoring open plans rather than closed off private offices. Traditional cubicle panel heights have decreased in an effort to increase worker collaboration by giving easy access to coworkers. This thought process has been spot-on as our knowledge-based economy continues to grow.
However in the last few years, research has indicated that if workplaces are not providing ample privacy space, the open concept can actually be a distraction to worker engagement. Because email, information sharing, and worker interaction is happening instantatenously, worker distraction happens as much as every 11 minutes. Research also suggests it can take up to 23 minutes to deeply engage back into the work being performed before the distraction. Distractions are everwhere in your office and your space should help minimize those distractions while still encouraging collaboration and group thinking.
According to Donna Flynn at Steelcase, "A key takeaway … is that the open plan isnt to blame any more than reverting to all private offices can be a solution. There is no single type of optimal work setting. Instead, its about balance. Achieving the right balance between working in privacy and working together is critical for any organization that wants to achieve innovation and advance." No longer should privacy be only for the top executives. Oranizations understand to have a fully engaged work force they need to emet the needs of all workers. You can achieve this balance by creating an ecosystem of interrelated working zones that each meet a different need for workers. It is time to rethink how we look at privacy and simple solutions such as sound masking can provide similiar sound privacy that typically was reserved for a private office.
We have identified a few different real estate zones that can help reduce your privacy crisis: private enclaves, 1:1 project space, conference enclaves, personal retreats, sheilded conversation lounges, connect hub, and privacy zones. Each one of these zones fits a different need of the worker from their personal needs to their collaboration meeting spaces whether with employees in close proximity or across the globe. Our product solutions such as VIA, Privacy Wall, IRYS, Roomwizard, QtPro and Sonet Qt, can be plugged and played into our systems furniture to design a unique and custom layout that fits your organizational goals. Our trained designers are experts in helping organizations evaluate real estate and maximize the potential to meet every workers needs across the diverse set of ecosystems that need to exist in an efficient workplace today.

Parking Woes at Prior Lake
February 28, 2017
With the start of the new semester at Prior Lake High School, even more students are hopping into their cars and driving to school, but several of them won't be able to find a parking spot.
Parking has been a problem at Prior Lake for the last two years, and it only gets worse from here with the growing freshman and sophomore classes. Many students are desperate for a solution to this problem.
"It can be a nightmare sometimes," says Luke Neiman, a senior at Prior Lake. "If you're even just a little late, you'll have to go all the way to the back of the lot, and that sucks in the winter."
Another recurring issue with parking is parking passes, prices for which have been going up over the last few years. The price for a full year pass went from $150 to $200 for the 2016-2017 school year. School faculty claims that it is to compensate for the larger freshman and sophomore classes, but students see it differently.
"I think they raised the prices to pay for more new stuff, like iPads and Macs," Neiman said, "either that or it's maintenance costs."
There was a referendum last year to add more parking spots to the school, along with other needed classroom space, but the referendum was shot down.
"If the referendum was only on the parking lot and nothing else, I think it would've passed," Neiman said. "Parking is a problem everyone wants to fix here."
One way some students get around paying the high cost of passes is to park in the neighborhood streets near the school. While the students don't break any laws by parking there, residents have concerns over student vehicles blocking traffic. The city of Savage made it illegal to park on one side of the streets during school hours.
With winter here and no real solution to parking in sight, it's going to be another tight squeeze in the PLHS parking lot this year and into the foreseeable future. Although there may be no solution this year for the seniors, there are plans in the works to relieve the pressure from the parking lot, however, only time will be able to tell when those plans come into effect.

You'll learn to employ thinking skills informed by experience, knowledge, insight, and reflection. You'll be able to assess information, a complex situation, or a specific subject, and come to an insightful conclusion. This skill is also highly desired in graduate school and the work world.
Examples of Thinking:

- Fundamentals of Philosophy course.
- 200-level philosophy courses such as General Ethics, Applied ethics (including business, biomedical, and environment), Philosophy of Peace and War, and more.
- Select divisional level courses such as General Chemistry, Intro to Film Studies, Introductory Psychology, and Western Civilization II.
- All Capstone courses.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
On Tuesday, Apple and IBM announced a new partnership centered on enterprise mobile hardware, apps and related services. As part of the deal, IBM's salespeople will sell Apple iPhones and iPads to their enterprise customers, and IBM will help customers manage the devices through a program called IBM MobileFirst Supply and Management. Apple will also offer support through AppleCare for Enterprise.
In addition, the companies will work together on IBM's MobileFirst Platform for iOS, a set of enterprise apps for iPhones and iPads that tie to IBM cloud computing services.
The move surprised some industry watchers because IBM and Apple seem like unlikely bedfellows. The two have been rivals in the past, and their corporate cultures are very different. Apple CEO Tim Cook noted, "This is a radical step for enterprise and something that only Apple and IBM can deliver."

IN the last decade, apartment buildings have been putting together increasingly ambitious histories, some extensively researched and hard-bound with photographs.
But it is difficult to find anything as accomplished as the one prepared by the architectural historian Anthony W. Robins for the Hotel Albert, the 1882 apartment house at University Place and 11th Street.
Arlene Goldman, a business consultant, has lived in the Albert since 1987, and when she moved into the gangly complex, which went up in four sections, she heard the usual entertaining but unsubstantiated stories, ranging from how it was named (after the painter Albert Pinkham Ryder) to its stint as a cradle of rock (the Lovin' Spoonful composed "Do You Believe in Magic" in the basement).
Over time she has collected photos, brochures and postcards, aided by the enterprising superintendent, Liam McCormack, who haunted eBay. But it was not until 2009 when, as president of the co-op board, she retained Mr. Robins to do more than the usual one-pager that most buildings find adequate.
Mr. Robins indeed went beyond — more than 100 pages beyond — mining newly available digital sources and old-fashioned ones like deeds and building permits. Ms. Goldman has posted the history on the building's Web site, thehotelalbert.com, along with separate sections on the old restaurant, Albert ephemera, photographs, first-person accounts and links to prominent people who stayed there, from Hart Crane and Anaïs Nin to Moby Grape and Howlin' Wolf.
The Albert was originally built as an apartment house, the first section by Albert S. Rosenbaum, an investor. He retained the architect Henry J. Hardenbergh, already an apartment house specialist, his Dakota then under way. You can see elements of the Dakota in the Albert, the spiky ironwork grates over the false balconies, the light-colored Nova Scotia stone, the lumpy modeling of the uneven facade, like a duvet thrown carelessly over a bed.
The earliest tenants were of the professional and managerial class, like John A. Owens, a Nassau Street lawyer. His neighbors must have looked askance when, in 1884, Mr. Owens spent a night in jail after he was caught skipping out on a month's worth of meals in the building's restaurant. Another was Wentworth S. Butler, who served for decades as the head of the New York Society Library, which was then on University Place near 12th Street; University Place was at one time a stronghold of the social elite. The building became a hotel in 1887.
Mr. Robins has found old lunch menus — in 1906, Fried Smelts with Tartar Sauce and Fricaseed Rockaway Oysters on Toast — and researched the source of Albert Pinkham Ryder's painting "Death on a Pale Horse." The painter conceived the haunting, ghostly work after a waiter who had often served him at the hotel lost his savings at the track and shot himself. Ryder had urged him not to bet on the horses.
He found no evidence that the building was named after the painter, although his brother William was the manager for several years. The Albert's Albert was Albert Rosenbaum, not Albert Ryder.
As with the rest of the Village, the Albert got a tinge of bohemianism after World War I. Hart Crane wrote part of his 1930 poem "The Bridge" while there, and Thomas Wolfe used it as inspiration for the Hotel Leopold in his 1935 novel "Of Time and the River." Wolfe was not on the Hardenbergh bandwagon, considering the 1882 building covered with "clumsy and meaningless adornment."
The Albert had tumbled by the 1960s, when it became a crash pad for rock musicians, checking in the Electric Flag, Canned Heat, Cream, Paul Butterfield and the Blues Project. Mr. Robins quotes an account by Michelle Phillips, who during a nasty winter at the Albert composed "California Dreamin' " with John Phillips. The song was soon made famous by their group the Mamas & the Papas. Ms. Phillips recalled the hotel "as a fleabag"; Maureen Orth, a writer for The Village Voice, said that "on a good day the hallways smell somewhere between old socks and vomit."
The basement birth of the Spoonful song could not be confirmed, Mr. Robins said.
The Elghanayan family cleared out the Albert in the 1970s and reconstructed the inside, returning it to apartment use. Ms. Goldman says that the co-op's extensive effort came about because "one day we said why don't we figure out what's myth and what's real."
Mr. Robins says his report would have been much more modest without the new generation of digital resources, like the ProQuest digitization of The New York Times, Columbia University's similar project for The Real Estate Record and Guide, and sources that keep evolving, like googlebooks, where the results for any particular search increase monthly, sometimes weekly.
It is a new world of history now, with easily available resources that allow nonprofessionals to do in minutes what once took experts days. And at one time most local history efforts had to hew to national events and themes, like architectural style, because researching local sources was so difficult. Now, instead of a forced attempt to paint the big picture, we have rich and nuanced works like the Albert's; not macrohistory, but microhistory.

64-bit Windows 10 Pro
Announcing the launch of Windows Server 2016
Im incredibly excited that this morning at our Ignite conference in Atlanta we launched the newest release of our server operating system Windows Server 2016! Now that were ready to share it with the world, I want to take a moment to thank our customers who helped shape this exciting release. Windows Server 2016 is jam-packed with innovation and customer response has been overwhelming, with more than half a million devices running our final Technical Preview which we released five months ago. These customers range from large global enterprises to private cloud hosters to organizations of every size from every corner of the globe.
Customer feedback is an important driver of the features we build into our products. Customers tell us they face massive change as they evolve processes and applications to deliver faster and more powerful business solutions, while at the same time having to operate existing workloads more securely and efficiently. IT and developers need to work together to innovate, using cloud computing and a variety of new technologies, while managing the transition of critical applications from one world to the next. IT needs to make strategic investment decisions, betting on vendors and solutions that can support them in a hybrid cloud world.
This customer feedback inspired the design of Windows Server 2016. We call it the cloud-ready OS because it meets customers where they are today, and it introduces technology to ease the transition to cloud. It is a great server OS to run traditional applications and datacenter infrastructure, and at the same time it delivers an unprecedented amount of innovation to help customers transition workloads to a more secure, efficient and agile cloud model. It is a great place to land all your workloads, providing the flexibility to run them on-premises or in the cloud.
Windows Server 2016 delivers powerful innovation across three areas:
Windows Server 2016 is available for evaluation beginning today and will be on the October price list. Volume licensing customers will be able to download fully licensed software at General Availability in mid-October.
