107.3 proof (53.95% alcohol) barrel aged over a range of 12-15 years
Four Roses has been one of our favorite whiskeys since we first got into enjoying bourbon. From the always available and affordable regular Small Batch to the only slightly more expensive Single Barrel, and the seemingly endless combinations of their proprietary mashbills: OBSK, OESK, OBSO, OESO, etc, etc. It's kind of stuff that bourbon geeks really love. (This year's Limited Edition release is a blend of a 15-year-old OESK, a 13-year-old OESK and a 12-year-old OESV.)
2017 was blessed with two special limited editions from Four Roses, the Al Young 50th Anniversary (currently taking a rest in our whiskey vault to be reviewed soon) and this little beauty, the 2017 Limited Edition Small Batch. Last year, I was lucky enough to win the opportunity to buy the 2016 Limited Edition at MSRP, for which a fellow bourbon geek instantly offered me double. I turned him down, and drank the bottle too fast to write a review. This year, with the buying power of my Whiskey Wednesday club behind me, I got the 2017 edition to stock the whiskey locker. At the last Whiskey Wednesday before Christmas, we got the gang together for a review.
Coppery auburn, with long skinny legs slowly running down the glass.
Lots of peaches, cherries and other juicy stone fruit
Right off the bat at the first sip, you get fruit, fruit and more fruit. A beautifully rounded peach, followed by a long mellow burn, fading into pleasantly luscious cherries. As it breathes, some juicy fruit gum emerges, and then vanilla, butterscotch, and other candied sweets. On the final sips, a surprising amount of oak and leather show up to lend some bass notes. This is a complex fruit bomb for the lucky, well-heeled bourbon lover that with a sweet tooth.

Protan Group, a Norway-based manufacturer of roofing foils and ventilations tubes for tunnels and mines, has invested €1.2 million to upgrade its recycling facility for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production left-overs.
Protan is now running a tailor-made three-in-one recycling installation for grinding, agglomerating and pulverizing supplied by German size-reduction technology specialist Pallmann. The company has reportedly recouped the investment in 18 months thanks to cost savings and increased capacity.
In the new recycling solution, grinding is undertaken by Pallmann's knife mill-type PS 4-7,5; agglomeration is carried out in a Plast agglomerator PFV 250; and a PolyGrinder PM 300 unit takes care of the pulverizing.
The machines are connected via conveying units, silos and collection units. Pallmann supplied and commissioned the entire package of components.
It is in its roofing products that Protan uses most of its recycled materials. On average, it incorporates 6% recyclate in its production process, most of which is sourced in-house.
Protan installed a reconditioned PFV agglomerator from Pallmann back in 2000, yet the solution has become outdated.
"It became increasingly unsuitable for the products and recipes we were working with, and its capacity was no longer sufficient," Tom Lillemoen, Protan's Technical Manager, explained. "On top of that, new products required new particle sizes, which could not be produced with the old technology."

Bet you didn't know that Rohnert Park has roots (yes, pun intended) as a seed cultivating farm.
We like to play! We have 19 public playgrounds featuring a variety of amenities sure to delight and entertain your entire family.
Our Public Safety Officers have multitasking down. They are highly trained to serve you in both police work and firefighting.
We love animals! There are over 4,100 dogs and 1,200 cats currently licensed in Rohnert Park.
On July 1, 2019 building, planning and engineering fees will be increased. Check out the new pay schedule.
Lastly, tell us how to get in touch with you.
If witnessing graffiti in progress, call the Department of Public Safety at 707-584-2600.
If reporting graffiti, call the Department of Public Works at 707-588-3300.
Graffiti adversely affects quality of life and community attractiveness, and decreases property value. When graffiti is allowed to remain, it invites yet more graffiti and may lead to an increase in vandalism and other gang or criminal activity.
While rapid removal is considered key to controlling and eradicating graffiti, please do not remove graffiti from public property yourself; instead, report graffiti as soon as you notice it. Public Safety records and catalogues all graffiti reported, which allows them to track graffiti trends and hold the perpetrators responsible if apprehended. Brick wall with Report Graffiti message
How do I distinguish public property from private property?
In general, public property includes parks, streets, sidewalks, and street infrastructure - for example, traffic signals, streetlights, water hydrants, and signs. Report graffiti in these areas to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Works. Private property is typically located behind the sidewalk - for example, buildings, walls, and fences.
Who is responsible for graffiti removal on private property?
Generally, it is the responsibility of the property owner to remove graffiti on private property. There are products that can remove graffiti paint available at your local home supply stores.

HannsG HH251H full review
The HannsG HH251H is a 24.6in flat-panel LCD display available for less than £200.
HannsG has always had a knack of quietly surprising us. Take its early days in PC Advisor, when it appeared from nowhere and suddenly started supplying the screens of half of our desktop PC reviews. Or, perhaps, you can look at the subject of this review, a 24.6in screen (it's billed as a 25in, but to be totally accurate, the viewable size is 24.6in corner-to-corner). The HannsG HH251H vaults into the sub-£200 category at a time when other companies are still polishing off their 21.5in and 22in models.
Unfortunately, not all outlandish moves come off, and we're not sure that the market's quite ready yet for a sub-£200 24.6in screen. The problem is, the HannsG HH251H just isn't quite good enough. And it's not quite good enough in quite a few areas.
We can forgive the HannsG HH251H for its slightly tacky exterior - we're sure there're a number of gaming addicts out there who'll quite appreciate the overly glossy casing. We're not so convinced by the menu system though. The buttons are small and virtually unmarked, not to mention painful on the fingertips to use.
And while the HannsG HH251H has buttons with dedicated uses, there isn't one for altering the colour mode - often an invaluable feature in a screen you might want to use for a number of different uses - which means you could spend far more time than is really desirable scrolling through the torturous setup screens.
The HannsG HH251H's two HDMI ports seem forward-thinking, although many a user would prefer to have a regular DVI connection too - there aren't any DVI-HDMI adaptors included, so most computer users will need to add the cost of a suitable adaptor or cable to the asking price.
The HannsG HH251H's native resolution of 1,920x1,080 is the best option these days, and the given brightness rating and response rate are fairly commonplace. The standard contrast ratio of 800:1 can apparently be bolstered to a frankly unbelievable 15,000:1. All in all, the specifications promise that this'll be a stunning screen.
The HannsG HH251H, however, manages to fall some way short of its promised perfection.
Viewing angles are never going to be good on cheap TN (twisted nematic) flat-panels. But even compared to some very mediocre performance from the competition, the HannsG HH251H is surprisingly poor. We found it almost impossible to get a picture that was properly focused in every corner, and the smallest twitch of the head results in an alteration of the image.
The HannsG HH251H is also too bright. We found it painful to use for long periods, and it was difficult to dampen the brightness while retaining decent colour quality. The HannsG is capable of good images, but you can certainly find steadier and higher-calibre pictures if you're prepared to go for a smaller size.

COUNTDOWN is a 7-year Department for International Development (DFID)-funded project which brings together innovative and multi-disciplinary neglected tropical disease (NTD) researchers, policy makers, practitioners and implementation research specialists from Cameroon, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, the UK, and the USA, supporting the scale-up of appropriate interventions in sub-Saharan Africa against NTDs amenable to preventive chemotherapy approaches.
COUNTDOWN is producing research evidence to contribute to reducing the morbidity, mortality and poverty associated with NTDs through increasing knowledge and capacity, to cost-effectively scale-up sustainable control and elimination of NTDs as a public health problem in line with the World Health Organization 2020 NTD Roadmap. COUNTDOWN is generating knowledge about the realities of increasing the reach of NTD treatment in different contexts.
Strategy & Vision
Our strategy is to increase the effectiveness of NTD programmes, with a focus on reaching poor and vulnerable groups and highlighting inequities, resulting in more people accessing appropriate interventions and receiving necessary treatments.
Our vision is to reduce morbidity, mortality and poverty associated with neglected tropical diseases from application of new evidence for cost effective scale-up of sustained control and targeted elimination of disease in line with the WHO 2020 neglected tropical disease roadmap and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
COUNTDOWN (DFID Grant ID PO 6407) is a multi-disciplinary research consortium dedicated to investigating cost-effective, scaled-up and sustainable solutions necessary to control and eliminate the seven most common NTDs by 2020. COUNTDOWN was formed in 2014 and is funded by UKAID, part of the Department for International Development (DFID).

While many idealistic, underground community organizations will taper off after their first or second year of operation -- due to poor organization, lack of funding, or internal drama -- the Denver Handmade Homemade Market has proven the cynics wrong, staying not only alive and vital after two years of operation, but have achieved the noun most coveted by any business venture: Growth. "The general consensus in the [Handmade Homemade] community is to have the event larger and more often," says event organizer Dani Langworthy. And this ambition manifests itself this Saturday, July 14 when the Denver Handmade Homemade Market (often referred to as HaHo) joins forces with EarthLinks, a local non-profit that provides Green workshops for unemployed homeless. "But we want to remain a place for vendors who are just getting started. We want to maintain a local, community aspect. We don't want it to get too big and become unavailable to those folks."
See Also: - Person to Person: HaHo - Vegan Neat Market
Langworthy only recently took over management of HaHo -- along with Stephen Toma -- earlier this year, when event founders Kylie Manson and Matt Gettleman retired from the position. "We were volunteers last year. And then Matt and Kylie held a town-hall meeting, looking for their replacements, and Stephen and I went through a process with them. We've been doing essentially the same set-up that they established: once a month at Green Spaces." Along with that, Langworthy is continuing the routine of providing over thirty vendors of locally produced meals, baked goods, jewelry, an eclectic variety of crafts, and entertainment provided by a live band. This Saturday will present the music of Lindsay and the Lost Caravan, and will be located at EarthLinks instead of Green Spaces
"But we are going to be implementing some changes," Langworthy continues. "We are going to be bringing in more vendors. This Saturday we will have a screen-printer, along with a vendor bringing in hand-made tote-bags to screen-print. And we'll be having workshops on being a vendor, or starting a small business. And we still have the Denver Dough, our own alternative currency with a one-to-one exchange rate on the U.S. dollar; that's something we'd like to expand on, but it is a lot of work."
While HaHo does provide an amazing variety of niche products like home-made goat cheese, self-published sci-fi novels or hand-knitted, cruelty-free clothing items, one of the most common reasons a patron will visit HaHo is for the community aspect. Unlike the mall or even many farmers markets, HaHo vendors and shoppers often meet and socialize, forming friendships that are rekindled month after month. "We encourage people to stick around and hangout," Langworthy says. "People don't just walk through once and leave, they hang out and get to know each other. And this way you get to talk to the people who made the products. Subsequently there tends to be a lot of eating going on."

Creating Cache Manifest File using PHPHTML5 Application Cache provides a way to make your application work offline. Once your application resources got saved to browser cache, it remains cached until the manifest file is modified. ( Note that updating a file listed in the manifest doesn't mean the browser will re-cache that resource.) The manifest file itself must be changed.
For example you are using this manifest file :-
Changes in index.html or app.js will not force to re-cache. There must be few changes made in manifest file to update the cache.
If there are a lot of files and filders in your web application, manually listing them all in a manifest file would be a pain.
We have a simple solution of above problem. We can use PHP to list out all files and alter manifest file when any file got changed, so the cache can be updated.
How to use PHP code in .appcache file
We can use .php as menifest file but .appcache is the new recommended file extension for menifest file, and .manifest was the old one. So we are going to mimic file extensions and ll be running PHP code in the .appcache file. Its possible by adding this simple line to your .htaccess file :-
AddType application/x-httpd-php .appcache
The menifest file
We are going to write a little PHP code that reads the contents of the application directory (and its subdirectories) and creates the file list. Create a any.appcache file and put this code to it:-
header('Content-Type: text/cache-manifest');
echo "CACHE MANIFEST\n";
$hashes = "";
$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(".");
foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir) as $file) {
if ($file->IsFile() &&
$file != "./any.appcache" &&
substr($file->getFilename(), 0, 1) != ".")
echo $file . "\n";
$hashes .= md5_file($file);
echo "# Hash: " . md5($hashes) . "\n";
In this code the last last does a great trick, If anything from your list of files got changed, the line would be changes, and the browser file found that there is a need of cache update.
This trick was originally shared by the Jonathan Stark in his book "Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript". I added some spices (using PHP code in .appcache file) and reshaped it.

It is important that all Pennsylvania residents understand their potential exposure to radon in their homes. Radon is the number one cause of non-smoking related lung cancer and is estimated to exist at elevated levels in 40% of Pennsylvania homes.
You cannot see, smell or taste radon. The only way to determine if there is radon in your home is to test. Testing can be done by a certified home inspector or with a radon test kit.
It's very easy and inexpensive to test your home yourself using a radon test kit. A homeowner simply sets up the kit in the lowest livable level of the home for a period of 3-7 days then mails the kit directly to the lab for analysis. The laboratory will return the results via email within 24 hours of the kit arrival. SWAT Environmental of PA provides a helpful video on how to test your home for radon here. If radon levels are above the EPA recommended limit of 4.0 pCi/L, the homeowner should contact a certified radon mitigation provider to discuss radon remediation.
Radon test kits are readily available from SWAT Environmental of Pennsylvania by visiting www.911radon.com. For a limited time, these home radon test kits are being offered to Pennsylvania residents for $6 by using the coupon code PAT30.

Definition of Sanctification
1) To make sacred or holy; to set apart to a sacred office or to religious use or observance; to consecrate by appropriate rites.
2) To make free from sin; to cleanse from moral corruption and population; to purify.
D.S. Warner is credited with the statement that if any doctrine needed to be overemphasized it is the doctrine of Sanctification.
Jesus prayed that his disciples might be sanctified and he died to make that experience possible.
John 17:17: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
Sanctification is definitely a New Testament doctrine.
II Timothy 2:21: "If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work."
Sanctification finds it is antitype in the Old Testament under Mosaic Law.
- The tabernacle consisted of two compartments surrounded by an outer court.
- The outer court contained an alter and laver of water.
- The two compartments of the tabernacle were known as the Holy Place and Holy of Holies.
- The Holy Place contained the table of shewbread, the gold candlestick, and the altar of incense.
- In the Holy of Holies was the Ark of the Covenant, containing the tables of stone along with other sacred items.
- A very costly veil separated the two sections.
- The priests ministered in the Holy Place, but into the Holy of Holies the high priest entered alone once a year. (Atonement Day)
- While the priests could not minister in the Holy of Holies, the death of Christ made it possible for the veil to be rent and man to enjoy a two-fold experience.
- Sanctification admits one into the Holy of Holies where the laws of God are written on the heart.
- Today, God does not dwell in a tabernacle, temple or sanctuary but in the hearts of his sanctified saints.
The two-fold nature of sin makes a second definite work of grace necessary.
Actual sin or the sins that need to be forgiven, the sins of commission or omission.
Psalms 51:5: "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."
This inherent sin may be summed up by calling it the sin of selfhood.
Apostolic examples of the Holy Spirit baptism
The apostles themselves received the experience of sanctification on the day of Pentecost.
John 16:7: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."
Conditions for receiving the Holy Spirit
Only those who have been born-again are qualified to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
A complete unconditional surrender of self to God without any reservations followed by earnest desire and fervent prayer for the infilling of the Holy Spirit must be made.
Romans 12:1&2 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2.And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
John the Baptist said:
Matthew 3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:"
The evidence of the Holy Spirit is found in himself. It does not depend on any certain phase or emotional reaction. The evidence of the Holy Spirit in a life is as clear as the evidence of the existence of the sun.
Romans 8:16 "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God."

Theater for young audiences ushers in new era of innovative show biz.
Celebrating four decades of refreshingly imaginative theater for young audiences, Tempe-based Childsplay sets to launch its 40th anniversary season with new artistic leadership. Having thrived under the dynamic direction of founder David Saar, who recently stepped down from his role as artistic director, the internationally renowned troupe prepares to carry out Saar's unique vision while embracing today's rapidly changing culture.
"We want to continue to develop and present strikingly original theater for our audiences," says Dwayne Hartford, Childsplay's new artistic director. "The world is changing so rapidly, and the lives of our audiences are changing so fast that we have to keep up and keep presenting plays that mean something to them."
In keeping with Childsplay's mission to educate as much as to entertain, the company continues to expand its community outreach programs.
"Education and learning is an important part of everything we do," says Hartford. "Our education program has become a vital part of our company over the last 10 years."
As part of its vast educational efforts, Childsplay offers enriching programs to children throughout Arizona. In addition to offering high-quality, professional productions at Tempe Center for the Arts featuring innovative adaptations of children's classics and unique plays about relevant social issues,
Childsplay performs in hundreds of Arizona schools annually. The ensemble hosts field trips, offers arts education programs in schools, and provides professional development for teachers.
For children who wish to pursue acting outside of school, the Childsplay Theater Academy offers theatrical training to more than 1,500 students each year. The program offers drama classes for preschool students as well as a multi-tiered conservatory program for students seeking advanced training.
"Childsplay's mission says we create strikingly original theater that is arrived at the intersection of artistry and learning," says managing director Steve Martin. "When we look at doing a play, we ask ourselves a lot of questions. What are the communities we're going to serve with this piece of theater? What are the learning opportunities?"
For example, says Martin, when Childsplay performs a play about food insecurity among families, the ensemble partners with food banks or other organizations to ensure there are resources available to audience members who wish to learn more. Performing a play centered on the theme of teen depression and suicide might involve engaging the help of a mental health association to offer audiences additional information and resources.
"We make sure that every play that we do has some sort of social service partnership or education partnership tied to it," says Martin.
Each year, Childsplay entertains and educates 200,000 children and families in Arizona. Its high level of artistic quality and arts education programs have been supported by local and national sponsors including the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Hearst Foundation, the Shubert Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Recently, the United States Department of Education awarded a $1 million grant to the company to provide drama tools for teachers to promote literacy.
Childsplay has also received Governor's Arts Awards for Education and has been recognized by the Tempe Chamber of Commerce for its business acumen. Just last year, David Saar received the coveted Shelley Award for his contributions to advancing the arts in the state of Arizona.
"When David created this company many years ago, he had this vision of an ensemble working together towards this mission of bringing the best exciting theater to kids," says Hartford. " We're all very excited to carry on his vision into the future."

Whistleblowing amendments
On 25 June 2013, the main provisions of the ERR Act 2013 relating to whistleblowing take effect:
- The key change in this area is that whistleblowing protection will be limited to those making disclosures which they reasonably believe to be "in the public interest". This is intended to close the loophole of individuals being entitled to claim whistleblowing protection in relation to alleged breaches of their own contract of employment (established in the case of Parkins v Sodexho Ltd, EAT [2001]).
- The existing requirement for disclosures to be made "in good faith" will be removed from 25 June 2013, on the basis that it is no longer necessary as a result of the new public interest requirement. However, where a tribunal considers that a disclosure was made in bad faith, it will have the power to reduce the amount of compensation awarded (if any) by up to 25%.
- The introduction of personal liability for individual employees who victimise whistleblowers and vicarious liability for their employers.
- The amendments also make minor changes to the definition of 'worker' for the purposes of whistleblowing protection, to include certain NHS contractors who would otherwise not be covered by the previous definition.
Miscellaneous amendments
Certain other provisions of the ERR Act 2013 also take effect on 25 June 2013:
- Most hearings in the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) will be heard by a judge sitting alone, unless the judge directs otherwise.
- The two year qualifying period for unfair dismissal will be disapplied where the reason for the dismissal is (or relates to) the employee's political opinions or affiliation. This amendment is required as a result of the judgment by the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Redfearn v United Kingdom [2012].
- The annual index-linked increase to the statutory week's pay (for calculating statutory redundancy payments and basic awards) and tribunal compensation limits will take place on 6 April each year, rather than from a date in February as previously. They will continue to be based on RPI figures, but rounded up to the nearest £1 rather than the nearest £10.
- The Secretary of State will have the power to vary the maximum compensatory award (in unfair dismissal claims), to either the national median wage or one year's gross pay subject to an overall cap of the current maximum award (£74,200). The Government has indicated that it will apply the one year's gross pay option, subject to the existing limit of £74,200. It is likely that the statutory instrument required in order to exercise this power will come into force later this year (date to be confirmed).
- The Secretary of State will have the power to broaden the ability of tribunals to make deposit orders and costs awards. This power is likely to be exercised with effect from 29 July 2013 (the same date the new tribunal rules take effect).
Commencement of the remaining employment provisions under the ERR Act will take place either later this year or during 2014, with some of the remaining commencement dates yet to be confirmed.

On May 15th, 2014 over 200 students from across Grand Erie met in Brantford to share their thoughts on the use of technology in their learning. In the morning students were asked to describe interesting/innovative ways technology was already being used in their classrooms. They were also asked about how they learn and how technology has changed their learning. In the afternoon students designed their own ideal learning environment and described what that would look like/sound like/feel like. Despite our students "breaking" the hotel's WiFi in the morning, the day was a huge success. And I'd like to add, thanks to Grand Erie ITS Support Staff for rescuing the WiFi in the afternoon.
For the second year in a row, we had the great privilege of working with Will Richardson, who facilitated the event. Will has spent the last 12 years developing an international reputation as a leading thinker and writer about the intersection of online learning networks and education. He is an outspoken advocate for change in schools when it comes to the diverse new learning opportunities that the Web and other existing and emerging technologies offer our students. Throughout the day he shared his thoughts on the current and future state of learning in a world where students are more connected and have more access to information than ever before.
To learn more about what students shared at the Ed Tech Student Forum, check out Jen Faulkner's website where all learning was documented throughout the day (including a live stream of the entire day) – http://bit.ly/gedsb-edtech.
For more information on Will Richardson or to hear more on his view of education and learning, check out his website, www.willrichardson.com and/or the video below of his TED talk in Australia.

After spending all day in my PJ I realized that it's already 21st February. Nothing special about that particular date. The power of the 21st in month is only in Serbia, it's the date when new Elle comes out. No matter how cold or rainy or horrible is out there, that is the occasion for walking your shoes straight to the newspaper stand. As I tried to find appropriate umbrella I realized that I don't have it. If you want to be stylish, you need to have one in black, one crazy colorful and one of those see through, those are awesome, but no time to cry about that, The Elle is calling, so I grab first things from my closet and run outside into the Grey rainy day. And I succeeded, you can see my voyage here.

Music Break
Music by Jimmie Deal
Lawyering is what pay the bills, but it is music that keeps me sane.
My father was a violinist as a child and a singer and drummer in a Dixieland band during the 1930s. Later he was my music teacher. I always have a melody running through my head, and I thank Dad for that.
Dad was James Robert Deal Sr., but everyone called him "Jimmie." After he died in 2000, I decided to adopt Jimmie Deal as my name, especially when making music.
I hope you will enjoy these cuts. These are very raw first recordings. There are a lot of mistakes and some flat notes. I'd rather post them now than wait for perfect versions, which might take me weeks to get around to.
Most of these downloads are m4a files, and you will need to download Quicktime or Windows Media Player to play them. These still need work, but they are not bad. When I was in college I had around 40 pieces, classical and popular that I had memorized and could play on guitar or piano.

By http://www.ciriliarose.com/">Cirilia Rose
The first book by the talented and stylish designer Cirila Rose is full of inspiring tips for creating your own handmade style and features 25 patterns for garments and accessories.
In Magpies, Homebodies, and Nomads, Rose takes readers behind the scenes of her design process, showing them how she curates and organizes ideas and translates them into knitwear designs. In the process, she gives readers the tools they need to explore and define their own style and to begin to adapt patterns to their own style. She also provides instructions for 25 of her own fashion-fresh projects to knit. Cirilia's book is divided into three themes: Magpies, designing accessories for the small amounts of precious yarns that knitters inevitably collect but don't necessarily know what to do with; Homebodies, designing garments for time spent close to home; and Nomads, designing garments to wear when we're venturing into the world to meet friends and gather inspiration.
"In the fantasy world where all I have to do all day is swan around and look fabulous, I'd hire Cirilia Rose to style me. I'd always look amazing, with weird combinations that somehow work perfectly, and bonus — we could drink beer, talk about movies and try to befriend the neighbourhood cats. More than a pattern book, although the patterns are a perfect balance of stylish and wearable, in Magpies, Nomads and Homebodies Cirilia shares her tips for creating a handmade style that's perfectly your own. Featuring photography shot by Jared Flood and styled by Cirilia herself, and edited by the legendary Melanie Falick, it's an endlessly inspiring coffee table book that makes great gift." - Ysolda

All You Need to Know About Web Rendering
Hi there! Today I want to highlight the topic of web rendering. I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of articles about that but most of them are so different … so let's get it all together.
This practice is rather useful during the front-end development because, as you can understand, markup, styles and scripts are very important for that so you are ought to know some lifehacks.
This article is not aimed at describing the accurate mechanics of work browsers, but rather on understanding its general principles. By the way, different browsers have different algorithms so we can't be sure to collect all of them.
The Rendering Process
So let's consider the sequence of browsers work step by step:
- Building DOM (Document Object Model) from received HTML.
- Downloading and detecting styles, which formed by CSSOM (CSS Object Model).
- Building the render tree based on both DOM and CSSOM (Webkit names it as «renderer» or «render object», Gecko — «frame»). It doubles DOM but doesn't show hidden elements like <head> or those who have display:none; style. Each line of text should be defined as different renderer. Each render object contains of it's DOM object and it's set style. So render tree describes the DOM visually.
- For each render tree element, calculated the position on the page — building layout. Browsers use method (flow), which in most cases enough only one pass for all elements (more passes required for tables).
- Painting all stuff in the browser.
During the interaction between user and page (by some of the scripts) this process can be done again.
If object style was changed but it's size and position weren't changed (for example, background-color, border-color, visibility) then browser just paints this one again (it is also called restyling).
If the structure of our document was touched then browsers do reflow (or to relayout). The main occasions of this are:
- DOM manipulations (resizing, removing, adding something).
- The text was changed.
- CSS properties were changed.
- New stylesheets were added or older are removed.
- Class attribute manipulations.
- Browser window changes: resizing, scrolling.
- Pseudo-class activation (for example, :hover).
Usually, browsers try to localize repaint and reflow on the side of changed object. For example, if you change a size of absolute or fixed positioned object then it will affect only this object and it's children, but if you edit another one with static position then the whole page would be reflowed.
Let's discuss an example. This one will cause reflow and repaint only once and not more than it:
var $body = $('body');
$body.css('padding', '1px'); // reflow,
repaint $body.css('color', 'red'); // repaint
$body.css('margin', '2px'); // reflow, repaint
But, as described before, properties change will make a reflow. So we're going to add only on call and get this:
var $body = $('body');
$body.css('padding', '1px');
$body.css('padding'); // forced reflow
$body.css('color', 'red');
$body.css('margin', '2px');
To sum up, we will get two reflows. So if you want to change any properties then try to collect all of them together in favour of performance (see an example
Sometimes we can't avoid reflows. For example, we need to apply margin-left twice. The first one we'll do without any animation (just set it to 100px) and set it's transition to *50px on the second time. You can
see an example right now but I still going to describe it here.
Let's create a transition class:
.has-transition {
-webkit-transition: margin-left 1s ease-out;
-moz-transition: margin-left 1s ease-out;
-o-transition: margin-left 1s ease-out;
transition: margin-left 1s ease-out;
Then we will try to create what we need as follows:
var $targetElem = $('#targetElemId'); // our element which has a "has-transition" class // delete transition class
$targetElem.removeClass('has-transition'); // change the property thinking that transition is disabled because we have done it before
$targetElem.css('margin-left', 100); // set transition back
$targetElem.addClass('has-transition'); // change the property
$targetElem.css('margin-left', 50);
This solution won't work as desired because browser caches and apply any changes only at the end of the script. Here we need a reflow. After using it our code should look like this (that will work):
// delete transition class
$(this).removeClass('has-transition'); // change the property
$(this).css('margin-left', 100); // we call a reflow. all changes made before were applied
$(this)[0].offsetHeight; // you can use any call here // set transition back
$(this).addClass('has-transition'); // change the property
$(this).css('margin-left', 50);
Practical advice for optimization
Based on this and other articles about web-optimization we can collect the next rules for better front-end:
- Write valid HTML and CSS with charset definition. You'd better include all the styles in <head> and all scripts at the end of the <body>.
- Try to make css-selectors simpler (even if you use preprocessor). Less nesting is better. The effectiveness rank of selectors is as follows (the first is the fastest):
- Identificator: #id
- Class: .class
- Tag: div
- Neighbour selector: a + i
- Children selector: ul > li
- Universal selector: *
- Attribute selector: input[type="text"]
- Pseudoelements and pseudoclasses: a:hover
Keep in mind that browsers look for selectors from right to left so you should put the most effective at the end:
div * {...} // bad
.list li {...} // bad
.list-item {...} // good
#list .list-item {...} // good
- Minimize any work with DOM. Cache all: properties, objects if you use them more than once. You can also use offline element (stores all the data in memory) if you work with hard operations.
- When using jQuery for elements choosing, see their recommendations for selector creation.
- It is better to use only a class attribute in DOM (as deep as it possible) when working with styles.
- Don't animate those objects which don't have absolute or fixed position. If it's needed then change only transition property (used repaint) instead of margin (used reflow).
- You may disable difficult :hover during scrolling (with no-hover for example).

Eight new backgrounds have just been added. This group was made with India ink, bubble wrap, stamps from the Brooklyn flea market and the ink from a dry erase marker I tampered with (I ignore warning stickers about exploding ink, you know, because I'm a rebel).
I also have a Tumblr now, for posting stuff that I didn't make. It's mostly pretentious literary quotes, old photos (like the one above), and animated gifs of RuPaul's Drag Race.

A few weeks ago, I went kayaking in the placid waters of the Potomac River off Washington D.C. After putting in at Jack's Boathouse in historic Georgetown, a few dips of the paddle took us to a leafy section of the city that was nearly silent, except for the distant whir of traffic and regular rumblings overhead by jets on a flight path to DCA.
After paddling for a while we passed a canoe steered by a middle-aged woman and two school-age children. An animal carrier the size of a small dog rested in the middle of their craft, empty. Along the bank, two female mallard ducks squawked, wrestled, and pecked at each other, a splashing, tumbling ball of motion that was clearly upsetting the rest of the small flock.
"We just released our ducks, and it is causing some tension," the woman told us, slightly embarrassed. "Mom, that's one of our ducks!" said one of the kids, although not as concerned as one might think.
To escape the drama, we paddled a bit farther. We stopped in a quiet alcove to rest a minute. A kingfisher rattled off its distinctive, almost manic call in the thick canopy along the river bank. We watched for a while as it flitted from tree to tree, inspecting the slowly moving current. We hoped to see a splashdown, but it moved on.
We rested our boats along a large fallen tree that sunk into the brown water. Carpenter ant scouts were soon patrolling our craft, investigating this new flotsam. We gazed into the cool water and caught sight of a curious critter, a large, twig-thin insect resembling a walking stick.
Discovering a Water Scorpion
We lifted it out of the water with a paddle, examining the two long tubes that extended far off its rear end. The insect waited patiently, motionless, while we examined it. With a dip of the paddle it was back under the log, hiding in the shadows.
When I got home I did a little Googling, and found out that I had discovered a water scorpion (sometimes written waterscorpion), a member of the Hemiptera or "true bug" order that spends its life in the water. Water scorpions make up the family Nepidae. (Not to be confused with giant sea scorpions.)
The water bugs aren't closely related to scorpions, though they superficially resemble them because their front legs are modified into grappling limbs and they seem to have tails, which are actually snorkels that they stick above water to breathe air.
Water scorpions are found almost everywhere there's freshwater except Antarctica, yet they aren't often observed. They mostly eat other invertebrates, but have been known to take tadpoles and minnows. Females lay their eggs in the mud or decaying vegetation above the water line.
AKA Water Stick Insects
I had seen a member of the genus Ranatra, the most widespread and biggest group of water scorpions. These are sometimes called water stick insects or needle bugs, and they can reach up to five inches in length.
When a Ranatra gets ahold of its prey, it pierces it with its sharp beak and injects saliva, which sedates and starts to digest their quarry. Their eggs take two to four weeks to hatch, and young mature in about two months.
Interestingly, one species name, Ranatra fusca, is now used for a creativity award in Odyssey of the Mind, since that insect featured prominently in an early competition.
The water scorpion goes to show that you may have many wonderful things to discover right under your nose.

Job satisfaction rose for the fifth consecutive year in 2015.
It's also higher than it's been any year since 2005, with 49.6 percent of U.S. workers now satisfied with their jobs.
That's according to The Conference Board's latest annual report on job satisfaction, which was released this week.
The nonprofit business research organization has been gauging worker satisfaction since 1987, partly because it provides insight into the national labor market and macroeconomic trends.
Report co-author Michelle Kan, associate director of Knowledge Organization at The Conference Board, says of the latest findings:
"The rise in workers' job satisfaction is directly influenced by labor market improvements, and the latest annual job satisfaction trends mirror overall gains in the labor market. The rapidly declining unemployment rate, combined with increased hiring, job openings and quits, signals a seller's market, where the employer demand for workers is greater than the available supply."
In addition to satisfaction itself, the survey examined 23 factors that affect job satisfaction levels, such as wages and job security.
The factors with which workers are most satisfied this year are:
- Their colleagues
- Interest in their work
- Their supervisors
- The commute
- The physical workspace
The factors with which workers are least satisfied are:
- Promotion policies
- Bonus plans
- The performance review process
- Educational/job training programs
- Recognition/acknowledgement
For help improving your own job satisfaction, perhaps check out:

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the company, just excited about a difficult to find product and wanted to share.
I remember seeing a couple of articles on the main page about androgynous and masculine fashion for women, so I figured there might be some people interested in this too: men's underwear for women.
I occasionally wear men's cotton boxers, and they are great, but it does mean having this empty penis pouch. These are classy black hipster boxer briefs (always a good choice for men too btw), but cut for women. Sooo comfy.

About Jekyll Island – the Public Treasure on Georgia's Coast
Jekyll Island's exquisite natural beauty has long drawn guests to its barrier shores. Surrounded by picturesque marshes and breathtaking oceanfront, Georgia's smallest barrier island is a peaceful coastal habitat. The island has a vibrant history, originally inhabited by the Guale (Wah-li) Indians, Jekyll Island was explored by the Spanish and first settled by the English. At the turn of the century, those who represented 1/6 of the world's wealth made the Jekyll Island Club their exclusive retreat. Recognizing that the island's natural beauty and vibrant history set it apart from any other coastal destination, the Governor and the Georgia state legislature purchased the island from the Jekyll Island Club in 1947 and established the island as a State Park. From a modern, oceanfront convention center and brand new, Westin Jekyll Island hotel, to the world-renown Georgia Sea Turtle Center, local shops, and a new beachfront promenade (all redeveloped within their original footprints), Jekyll Island has spent nearly a decade revitalizing the island's amenities to offer distinctive experiences for all to enjoy.

he was appointed publisher of the journal. In 1831 it was still the habit of the majority of business people to live near their shops and offices; the hours were long, the doors being opened very early in the morning, and not closing till late in the evening. So Francis went to live in Catherine Street, where the Athenaum was then published, and a few years afterwards he removed with the journal to Wellington Street. In the arduous task of establishing the young paper on a sound footing he took his full share; he firmly grasped the principle asserted by Mr. Dilke, that the first virtue of a journal is independence, and he speedily obtained the respect and confidence both of publishers and the newspaper trade. Nor when the success of the Athcrueum was assured did his industry abate. He continued throughout a long and prosperous life as careful and active' a man of business as when he first went to Catherine Street. During his apprenticeship at Marlborough's Francis had been struck by the heaviness of the taxation laid on the newspaper press, and when the success of the Athenaum gave him leisure he turned his attention to the fiscal restrictions then in force, and became treasurer of the committee for obtaining the repeal of the advertisement duty. In securing the abolition of that tax, and subsequently ol the compulsory stamp and the paper duty, he took an active share, addressing meetings in various parts of the country, and organizing deputations to wait on successive Chancellors of the Exchequer. On the repeal of the paper duty the price of the Atlietueum was, largely at his instigation, reduced from fourpence to threepence. Mr. Francis enjoyed excellent health till some two years ago. Indeed, in 1872 he added to his work by undertaking the charge of the commercial affairs of Notes and Queries. When the ways of business changed he had gone to live in the suburbs, but, increasing weakness making the journey to and fro fatiguing to him, he returned to Wellington Street a few months since, and there he remained till his death. In October last he had the satisfaction of seeing the fiftieth anniversary of the day when he became publisher of this journal. Firm yet gentle, sincere and generous, he was the unfailing friend and best adviser of all who knew him. He will be most deeply regretted."
On the 18th of April he was buried in the Burial, family grave at Highgate Cemetery, close to the tomb of Michael Faraday.
At the annual meeting of the Newsvendors' Benevolent and Provident Institution following his death, it was resolved that a public fund should be raised in memory of him, such fund to be devoted to pensions to old and distressed members of the trade; and on the 1oth of "John February, 1885, two "John Francis Pensions" Pension's" were founded—one male pension of 20I. a year founded. and a female pension of 15/. a year, in perpetuity.
