Images "float" and tend to move to the previous or next page and I'm unable to stop this behavior. If you're interested take a look at the Jenks book for a page that contains multiple images and then look at the latex code in src/doc. See if you can reproduce the multiple image page. t

International Property
International assets require specialist skill to identify and secure. A fair and just outcome for our clients requires analysing which legal system gives them the right result and also that the judgment can be enforced against assets. Frequently it is difficult to locate assets if they are hidden behind corporations or trusts. We have extensive experience in choice of law issues, enforcement and understanding camouflage arrangements.

International Property - Scenario Analysis Example #1
Mr & Mrs A had a home in England where she mostly lived. She and her husband owned a villa in Spain where he now lived. He had a pension income from his former U.K employer and about £500,000 with a bank in Jersey. Mrs A thought there was a trust involved. She relied on his maintaining her. He was about to receive perhaps up to £1,000,000 from a buy-out of his former U.K employer.
Our solution:
The short-term step was to apply to the court to freeze the payment from the buy-out. Then whatever happened beyond our control Mrs A was likely to be fairly well safeguarded. That probably would be enough to ensure that her husband would co-operate with the English Courts process of disclosure. It gave us time to fully locate the assets, and to advise on a sensible proposal to try to resolve the matter by agreement.
What our clients are saying:
'PD', London
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for you help and service. I cannot recommend you more highly.
I found Mr Henry Brookman a very empathetic consultant and found he provided the level of advice I needed. Henry gave me sound advice and I found, that his approach to presenting the facts, easy to understand. The communication with the Solicitor in Australia was prompt and the complete transaction took as long as I was told. In all I feel very happy with the way in which my affairs were handled and would like to recommend the services of Mr Brookman."

YORK — The York County Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a new commercial oyster farm operation.
The Board of Supervisors will get the final say at its Sept. 16 meeting.
The application, submitted by Lee Riggins Rich who lives at the end of Calthrop Neck Road near the intersection of the Poquoson River and Lamb's Creek, included a request for three non-resident employees to help haul cages and harvest oysters from the water near her home. Rich has leased 60 acres of oyster grounds from the Virginia Marine Resources Commission in the waters adjacent to her property.
This is the third application for a home-based watermen business, which until Jan. 1 requires a special-use permit, in the county since 1991 — when the last one was approved. Just last week, real estate broker Greg Garrett dropped his permit request that received mixed reviews from the commission last month.
Another application submitted by Anthony Bavuso, who lives in the Seaford neighborhood York Point, was supported by the commission back in 2011, but ultimately denied by the Board of Supervisors.
Rich's property totals 2.56 acres and is heavily wooded, according Earl Anderson, county planner. The nearest home is 470 feet away from her shoreline, where Rich proposes to do most of the on-land work involved with the operation.
"The operation will be conducted mainly from a pontoon boat that is docked and unloaded in the city of Poquoson," Anderson said. "Activities on the property will be limited to storage and washing of 10 to 20 cages ... in a 10-foot by 10-foot area on the western side of the property and the loading of oyster seeds into bags. Once loaded into bags, the oysters would be walked out to the oyster grounds to be placed in the cages. No loading or off-loading between the shore and the boat will take place and no harvestable oysters will be brought onto the property, except for the applicant's personal use."
Two of Rich's proposed employees, she said, are her son and son-in-law. A third employee is a student at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. He travels to the farm every other day to clean the cages or bring new seedlings.
Scott Dinning, the VCU student, said the cleaning is very minimal because the location of the oyster grounds is on a nearly 2-mile sandbar. Danning said he does most of the cleaning in the water with a toilet brush rather than a power washer.
A nearby neighbor, Fred O'Brian, said he was concerned that adding oyster cages to the already shallow water would cause a hazard for locals who kayak, water ski and boat through narrow the Poquoson River channel often.
"That is a very heavily utilized waterway," he said. "And that will be York County Rescue that will have to go get kids there when they get injured."
Many of the commissioners agreed there may be some risk there, but that it is VMRC, not the county, that controls the water-based operation.

Salesforce created quite the stir by offering a mammoth $1 million to winners of a hackathon at its annual Dreamforce conference.
The winning mobile apps were announced yesterday afternoon and awarded cash prizes by Salesforce cofounders Marc Benioff and Parker Harris.
A thread on Hacker News has subsequently erupted, with developers claiming that the whole thing was rigged, including the judging process.
Angry commenters say that the winning team and the runner-up have been working on their apps for weeks. A commenter referred to the second-place winner, healthcare.lov, as far too "polished."
The hackathon rules state that team can start work on their apps on Oct. 25. The apps must be created "from scratch."
Thomas Kim, one of the engineers behind the winning submission "Upshot," appears to have demoed the app on Oct. 8 at a Salesforce meetup.
"These were entire business models in addition to apps," said Matt Parker, a developer who participated in the hackathon in an interview. "In hackathons, a single hour is an incredibly unfair advantage, let alone the months I believe it took to develop Upshot."
Moreover, it has been alleged that Kim had previously worked at Salesforce. This may demonstrate favoritism, and some have argued that it gives Kim an unfair advantage, as the apps were all built on the Salesforce platform.
However, one former Salesforce employee, who also participated in the hackathon, rallied to Kim's defense. "I personally know a bunch of the dev relations team. No leg up there. I thought our submission was pretty good, didn't win, oh well," a commenter who goes by Coppenheimer pointed out on the Hacker News thread.
Salesforce is expected to issue a statement in due course. When asked for comment, Salesforce referred me to a blog post by Adam Seligman describing the rules for the hackathon here.

Today I went to the Remembrance Sunday parade, wreath laying and two minute silence in my home town of Colchester – a garrison town – and was moved to tears by the Band of the Parachute Regiment and the ranks of proud soldiers and veterans, many literally weighed down by their medals.
Tomorrow (Monday 12th November) I'll be talking about the ones they left behind, and the thousands who went in search of their loved ones in the devastated lands of Flanders and the Somme, and showing photographs of those very first 'battlefield tourists'. It's a field of research I discovered when writing my latest book In Love and War.
My illustrated talk, Searching for Remembrance, is being hosted by the fabulous independent Caxton Books at the Oasis Centre, Connaught Avenue in Frinton on Sea. Tickets are £5, and it starts at 3pm. See you there.

Human short-sightedness, Inevitable problems, Survival of humanity, The EarthArk Project, The future can be wonderful
The Bhola cyclone killed about 500,000 people on November 12, 1970 in the country now called Bangladesh. The World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001, had 2,752 casualties, thus for every one of those victims there were over 180 deaths from the cyclone. Also, it was twice as deadly as the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami of December 26, 2004, which struck Sumatra, Indonesia. The RMS Titanic sank with 1,517 lost on April 14 1912, two hours and forty minutes after striking an iceberg . World War One (WWI) with a proximate cause, the Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, cost 15 million people their lives and 65 million if you include the influenza deaths. List of natural disasters. With all of these disasters there was sufficient time for most of the victims to have saved themselves if they had responded to warnings.
The EarthArk Project is intended to help humanity survive the coming disasters which await it, which eventually will be enormously greater than any of those above. It is easy to convince oneself that a great tragedy will never strike humanity again because nothing really awful has happened during most living people's lives. The average median age for humans is now about 27.5 years. Which means the average person was born in 1984 and didn't become historically aware until about age twenty or about 2004. Nothing really horrid has happened since then and so modern humans worry about global warming. That of course is bad but it doesn't compare to 3% of living humans being killed in an event like WWII or 17% of everyone being killed with the Mongol invasions. See the list of wars and disasters by death toll to get some idea what a really nasty problem might be. Probably half the people alive today couldn't identify half the top ten most destructive wars of history. Click the link to see if you know them. If that is true about a typical human's awareness of humanity-wide tragedy it is easy to understand why so few people worry about those kinds of problems, even in the abstract.
We have been living in the most wonderful time in human history and a simple proof of that seemingly wild statement is that both in percentage and in absolute numbers, humanity has grown prodigiously during the last hundred years, from less than 2 billion to about 7 billion. If there had been a similar sized percentage drop in population everyone would be terrified about the future. Also, in our world there has been exciting technical growth so we have wonderful health and entertainments to enjoy. I don't feel I am a gloom and doomer when I say the good times will last for a while longer, but not forever. By a while longer, it would seem that another ten years to twenty years is quite possible for the good times to last, but it strikes me that fifty years is being awfully optimistic and one hundred years without a mega-disaster seems doubtful. But that means a college age person can expect to see very severe problems and a newborn to see catastrophic ones. I am not being a prophet when saying these things; it's just that some things will run out and of course the worst one running short will be food. When it happens things will transition very quickly.
People are extremely reluctant to respond to warnings without previous personal experience, and it is estimated that 90% of the population of Bangladesh was aware of the cyclone before it hit, but only about 1% sought refuge in fortified structures. Current humanity's experience has been almost wholly positive for several decades, even for young adults' parents and grandparents, so it is almost impossible for the average person to conceive of these things. Only the study of history can possibly convince anyone of coming super-serious problems, and very few people will bother with that. So, the future will be dominated by people with no concept of impending problems and humanity will stumble forward into catastrophe. We can help it recover if we use a little foresight, but that's about the most we can do. Continue working as if humanity can be saved.
The EarthArk Project is intended to save the seeds of all civilization and nature, upon which to rebuild a vibrant new world.

The early 1990's was a landmark time in the world of American cinema, particularly the independent scene. With names like Tarantino, Linklater and various others finding a foothold with groundbreaking film achievements at the early part of the decade, the first years of the '90s would go on to launch the careers of some of today's most beloved and critically lauded auteurs. However, some of the greatest films from this time period came from visions that were not only completely singular, but also filmmakers who would rarely get another crack at the type of filmmaking that launched their careers.
One of those filmmakers was Julie Dash. Now working primarily in the world of TV and short filmmaking (although she does have a new documentary entitled Travel Notes of a Geechee Girl in some stage of production), Dash launched onto the scene with a film entitled Daughters of the Dust. One of the most beloved and aesthetically experimental works of this time period, Dust debuted at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival, where it garnered Best Cinematography honors, and has since become a foundational work within not only African American cinema, but modern independent film, even getting inducted into the National Film Registry in 2004.
And now, thanks to Cohen Media, it's ready to hit theaters once more for its 25th anniversary, with a Blu-ray in the works going forward (it's currently not available on home video stateside).
Daughters tells the story of a family rooted in the creole Gullah culture as they try to come to grips not only with the journey north ahead of them, but also the idea of what traditions and legacy they will be leaving behind them. A tale as old as cinema itself, this battle between modernity and tradition is told through a picture rooted heavily in traditions both theatrical and folkloric, a film that's as much a poem as it is a piece of narrative cinema.
Being a debut film, Dash's direction here is astoundingly assured and bewilderingly esoteric. As if someone took the theatricality found in a Spike Lee Joint, left it on a stove and boiled it down to its absolute purest essence, Dash's direction is relatively static (the occasional burst of energy comes from brief flights of fancy like slow-motion set pieces) but in its framing and mise-en-scene there is profound vitality. The photography, the Sundance-award winning work, is superb with a warmth enveloping the film in an impressionistic neo-realism. Dense and layered, Dash's work here is richly designed and while the time-specific production work is tactile in its execution, there's an otherworldliness that washes over the film. Again playing over its two hours as almost a lament, the narrative here isn't as important so much as the deep-seeded themes of cultural memory and legacy which shift the film from something that could be described as ostensibly a filmed play into something entirely its own and almost avant garde.
That being said, the performances here are almost classical in their theatrical roots. With each word carrying with it a sense of poetry and musicality, performances in Daughters are all but uniformly astonishing. The narrative and the screenplay are deeply textured and in many ways obtuse, yet actors like Cora Lee Day and Cheryl Lynn Bruce breathe these words as if it's stream of consciousness. Day is particularly great here as the Peazant family matriarch, a strong willed but deeply nuanced woman. Bruce plays one of her granddaughters, and she's also truly great. Rounding out the cast are names like Kaycee Moore, Bahni Turpin and the ever amazing Alva Rogers, who is likely best known for her role in Spike Lee's School Daze but gives maybe the performance of her career within this film's 112-minute run time.
Finally back in theaters, Cohen Media have backed a new 2K restoration for the film, and it's absolutely superb. The warmth brought to the film through its photography is in full form here, and the beautiful score from John Barnes is absolutely moving. With an impact still being felt on modern filmmaking (look no further than Beyonce's Lemonade to see a direct descendant of Dash's debut film) Daughters of the Dust is a breathtaking achievement that's still not as widely seen as it truly should be.

Meet CHAMUCHIC, fashion from los Altos de Chiapas
Posted in Uncategorized on July 2, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Chamuchic is an innovative concept founded in 2010 by the textile designer Claudia Muñoz. The brand's creator graduated from Universidad Iberoamericana and during her professional career she has collaborated on investigative projects regarding fashion trends for various companies such as Scappino and Cotton Incorporated. In 2007 she joined the Fashion Week Mexico team directing the fashion area.
"My contact with the superficial aspect of fashion made me look for a new direction in my professional career."
This is how, in the middle of 2008, she made the decision to begin a new adventure and travel to San Cristobal de las Casas to make this pueblo mágico her new home. Through the contact that Claudia has with artisans from various communities in los Altos de Chiapas, she created the brand Chamuchic which celebrates the beauty of the artisans creating a harmonious balance between the traditional and the contemporary.
"Artisans' hands work with the back-strap loom and embroideries, they mold clay and draw ancient maya motifs with natural dyes. Chamuchic directs their creativity and skill with knowledge from a market that is foreign to them, but one that they depend on for the survival of their ancient tradition."
We invite you to check out the line of timeless accessories inspired by an urban lifestyle and made by artisanal techniques with natural materials. Chamuchic places a special emphasis on the task of rescuing and promoting traditional maya designs, renovating them through new products and color combinations. www.chamuchic.com

BETA partnered with the Australian Tax Office to design and test behaviourally informed methods of communications aimed at improving compliance among businesses in the Deferred GST Scheme.
We ran two separate randomised controlled trials to test the effectiveness of emails.
The first trial evaluated the impact of sending a 'cooperative' and a 'direct' toned reminder email to existing businesses who were found to be non-compliant with the Scheme. Both emails improved compliance rates.
The second trial tested the effectiveness of sending a welcome email to new businesses who had just registered for the Scheme. The email contained a planning prompt recommending businesses set up a monthly calendar reminder about their DGST obligations. This intervention did not improve compliance.
Pre-registration information
The Deferred GST scheme allows businesses to defer the payment of GST on taxable imports to help manage their cash flow position. In order to remain on the scheme businesses must continue to meet all of their tax obligations. This includes lodging a monthly activity statement and being up to date on any payments due to the ATO.
At any given time, a proportion of businesses on the scheme are non‑compliant. Addressing this non-compliance creates additional work for the ATO and leads to higher levels of outstanding tax debt.
This trial will test a new behaviourally-informed method of communication aimed at helping businesses remain up to date with their tax. The intervention will target new businesses signing onto the scheme as well as businesses that are already non-compliant. A successful intervention would increase business compliance and bring forward business tax payments.
Additional trial information
Intervention start and end date: Thursday, 27 April 2017 to Friday, 01 September 2017
BETA ethics pre-registration number: BETA ETH 2017 - 008
Experimental design:
Non-Compliant Businesses: This will be a 'three‑arm trial' involving two treatment groups and a control group. Businesses will first be matched into triplets exhibiting similar characteristics. Randomisation will then be applied to each triplet so that one business is assigned to each of the treatment groups and one is assigned to the control group.
New Businesses: This will be a 'two-arm trial' involving one treatment and a control group. Businesses will be allocated to the treatment or control group using simple randomisation.
Non-Compliant Businesses: Businesses in the treatment groups will receive an email reminding them to fulfil their tax obligations and highlighting the penalties of continued non-compliance. These interventions seek to exploit behavioural insights in relation to loss aversion and the potency of deadlines.
New Businesses: In addition to the standard welcome letter, businesses in the treatment group will also receive a welcome email using simplification, salience and planning prompts.
Control condition:
Non-Compliant Businesses: No email
New Businesses: Standard welcome letter (no email)
Primary Outcomes: Compliance with the DGST Scheme, Payments to the ATO.
Secondary Outcomes: Client account balances, interaction with (phone calls to) the ATO.
Expected sample size:
Non-compliant businesses: At least 1,200 businesses
New Businesses: At least 300 businesses

For those who needs empirical evidence to believe the crime about Nigeria baby factory, this video clip should help.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas investigation on Nigeria baby factory highlights two major problems in our society today. One is how lawlessness Nigeria is, anyone can get away with just about anything especially when money is involved.
11:30 shows this perfectly – listen to James Ogbo (?) a lawyer and Child Rights Activist saying he has dealt with so many cases of human trafficking, child abuse but to date no one has been prosecuted. He sounds like a good lawyer doing his job, but what more can a man do when somehow everyone seems to be slipping through the net?
Secondly in a society where we refused to grow out of the old ways of keeping everything that is out of 'ordinary' secret, there is bound to be someone taking advantage of people's ignorance.
How can one even explain to the general public about human biology and fertility when most think everyone should be able to have biological children. Adoption is still largely frowned up, those who had gone through expensive IVF would rather tell their friends it was 'God's miracle' than telling then the child is Owolabi (made possible with money) and plenty of luck as I understand many people have to go through many trials before success but the issue remains that folks don't share complete truths about how they finally had their child after so many years waiting. Surrogacy is a no, no not because it was a bad option but because we don't know enough about it and those who did kept it all under well guarded family secret.
Baby farming is quite easy in a place like Nigeria where money is all that really matters, with a price tag of 800k naira for a girl and 1M naira for a boy – check out 14:20. And of course those who can not afford the expensive price tag would find their way of having a child somehow.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas has done his bits exposing the criminals, details passed on to the authority, the hope is that all crooks involved are prosecuted, otherwise, it is same old story.

A multi-cultural sausage stuffed with exotic mango, Yorkshire rhubarb and Indian spices will be battling it out in the hunt for Britain's Landmark Bangers.
The East Meets West concoction has been cooked up by butcher manager Lee Scott at Keelham Farm Shop, Thornton, Bradford, for British Sausage Week next month.
The shop has also put together the Keelham Stouter, capturing the taste of one of the region's best stouts.
The competition, organised by the British Sausage Appreciation Society, aims to find the best locally-sourced and flavoured sausages.
Lee said the idea of the East Meets West sausage was born out of Bradford's status as the curry capital of England.
"The sausages are ever so slightly spicy," he said. "It represents modern Yorkshire food."

When the Rangers let Game One of the American League Championship Series get away from them last October, everyone in the world wondered why Ron Washington let his team blow a lead without ever getting Neftali Feliz into the game.
The problem was that Washington, like just about every other manager in the game today, refuses to use his closer in anything but a save situation. It's asinine to paint yourself into a corner because of a statistic but like citizens of a country ruled by a tyrant, we've all learned how to live our lives under adverse circumstances.
As recent events have shown us, there are times when people rise up and do something about the tyrants keeping them under their thumb. One day there will be such a man in baseball. For a brief moment on Tuesday, we thought Ron Washington was going to be that man.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
There was a headline on ESPN Dallas proclaiming that "Neftali Feliz Won't Be Saved for Saves." The clouds parted, sunlight filled the room and harp music played in the background. Finally, sense had returned to the game of baseball.
And then we read the article.
It seems that Washington's adjustment to using Feliz in save situations (which, in case you don't know, mean that the Rangers are up by three runs or fewer) is using him in games where the team leads by four or more runs in the ninth inning. He did it in the first game of the year against the Red Sox and he says he'll do it again.
"I'm trying to win a game," Washington said. "It is nothing against the Boston Red Sox. I'm going to get the ball to him [Feliz] and let's go home. But say I don't use him, all hell breaks loose and by the time I get him in, we lose. I'm trying to win."
It's amazing that our world is one where a manager feels a need to explain why he'd use his best reliever to protect a four-run lead in the ninth inning without being asked a followup about why he refuses to use him to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning. Or in a tie game in the ninth inning on the road.
Or any other time that it would be helpful to use your best reliever to help you win a game instead of merely making sure that he winds up with an "S" next to his name in the box score.

*The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (NR)
Kimball's Peak Three
At over two and a half hours, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo features plenty of the three Rs: research, rape and revenge. Oddly, the latter two have little to do with the central plot, which involves a disgraced journalist hired to investigate a cold case involving the disappearance of a teen girl some 40 years earlier.
Based on the first of a trilogy of novels published after the death of Scandinavian author Stieg Larsson, the film won Sweden's Oscar-equivalent for 2009's Best Picture and Best Actress and is slated for an American remake. The winning actress, Noomi Rapace, is unforgettable here as Lisbeth, the titular 24-year-old Goth punk who's angry, antisocial and readily violent. But she's also brilliant and works as a hacker for a security company.
As the film opens, Lisbeth is tasked with surveilling Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), a writer found guilty of libel against a shady businessman. He's sentenced to prison but has six months until he has to serve. On Christmas, Mikael is called to the estate of Henrik Vanger (Sven-Bertil Taube), the elderly former CEO of his family's capitalist group. Henrik wants Mikael to re-examine the 1966 disappearance of his teenaged niece, Harriet. The cops have long given up on the case, but Henrik is hoping for closure before he dies.
So Mikael agrees to move to the estate and do some sleuthing, starting with Henrik's family, whom even the patriarch admits is a "pretty unpleasant bunch." And how: Their general money-grubbiness aside, some of the Vangers were also Nazis.
Meanwhile, Lisbeth's assignment to trail Mikael has officially ended but she continues to hack into his computer, convinced he was set up. When she sees a clue in one of his e-mails containing a code from Harriet's diary that he just can't crack, Lisbeth figures out the answer and forwards it to him. Soon they're partners on the case, uncovering the likelihood of a serial killer with the inevitable tangles a good thriller supplies.
Danish filmmaker Niels Arden Oplev directs, lending the story an air of often-unexpected creepiness just as it's becoming clinical. (Unless watching someone leaf through stacks of invoices thrills you.) Depending on your level of cynicism, the answer to only one of those aforementioned tangles is beyond belief, quite an achievement considering that similar movies usually choose to frighten viewers in order to distract from lazy plots. And Nyqvist, a darker-haired and less Bond-ish Daniel Craig, is appealing and realistic as the smart-but-imperfect Mikael.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo does contain a lot of ugliness, including Lisbeth's backstory — she's spent time in a psych ward, and possibly prison — and her current nightmare with a new guardian who feels free to assault her as he pleases. The resolution to the Vanger case is also sickening, the worst of it set in a Saw-like warehouse as their suspect describes his rapes and murders, at one point using the word "fantastic" and calling what he does a "hobby."
The film shares a theme with the recently released Red Riding trilogy, but given all the violence involved, it's somehow a lighter sit; the script has occasional levity, and, more importantly, portrays Lisbeth as someone who can give as good (or bad) as she gets.
Yes, her actions essentially communicate that two wrongs make a right. But after seeing what she goes through, knowing that she has the strength to fight back makes you want to cheer.

Written on behalf of CSI Wall Panels
For many people, home is not the place to live in; it's a place where they feel energetic and want to refresh. There is nothing like being at home. We all have dreams to decorate our home extraordinary well: from the entrance to the bedroom, from the kitchen to the bathroom. We want every corner of our home to be perfect.
We think of everything. Right?!
Do we think of everything? The answer is NO.
We think of everything but the wall. What about the wall? What is there to think about it? You can't move the walls; they are the boring, stationary and never-changing things. All you can do to is paint it, and just by adding a touch of colour, new wall colour, your room feels absolutely new and looks perfectly awesome.
But why only paint it? What if you have the option to change the texture of the wall as well? Moreover, along with that, you have various patterns to choose from. Yes! It's an 'old wives' tale' isn't it? – the wall is only for painting. We bring you a perfect solution for that. Now a makeover starts and ends with the WALLS.
While renovating we actually focus what is between our walls; we bring different artefacts, showpiece, and home decor items to bring some beautiful changes. Why spend so much when you can bring astonish transformation with only one change?
Use WALL PANELS and give a dazzling look to your home, an innovative approach to change the look of home by adding a spice of texture and pattern to the wall. A wall panel is just a single piece of material. Wall panels come in a wide range of designs, shapes, sizes and colours, so picking the best one that suits your home is easy. The decorative wall panel will offer you all the inspiration needed to get your home the improvement you're looking for; sensational change within no time and without much hassle.
We offer you a wide variety of wall panel material and types: for instance decorative, wood veneer, textured, gypsum, felt, panels for the ceiling and many more. You can play with different colours too; from light-coloured wall panels to bold coloured ones. We offer decorative acoustic or 3D wall panels too – an impressive and even ravishing look for your living room or bedroom – which come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colours and textures.
Colours help you to enhance your mood, so choosing the right colour for your living room or bedroom can improve your sleep pattern. Green and blue, for instance, are perfect bedroom colours, while white can have a stress-reducing effect. If you want to go for a completely white decorative wall you can choose different textures and patterns, which will add a stylish look to your bedroom. While white bedrooms depict a calm and peaceful ambience, if you have smaller rooms where you cannot store so many decorative items for the wonderful atmosphere you want to create, you can balance it with our decorative wall panels. Select cleverly coloured, patterned and textured panels for the walls. If you add lighter colours like white or pastel tones it gives an impression of a bigger room, while bold colour gives the impression of optically reduced space. You can also add textures with 3D effect, and find the right light to give it a smashing atmosphere.
You can bring an extra dimension to a basic common wall. It feels good to be surrounded by beauty. doesn't it? A simple change to your walls can bring warmth and add that reviving aura: the wall will speak thousands of words. There's no need to add other showpieces when you can have these amazing, beautiful and decorative wall panels.
A wall panels gives a model-refashioning look. It comes with the perfect accent; you can give the decor a traditional or contemporary look using wall panels. Now make the walls pop and let them be the centre of attraction in your home like never before! After finishing with wall panels installed over them, they not only change the eye but attract attention. They are unbreakable and will never lose their shape: hence you can use them for wall decoration both indoors or out, whatever you need. Change the entrance, and you will be surprised to see the outcome.
Alternatively, want a quick makeover of the bedroom to try different textures? Small changes can make a big difference; this is definitely true with our wall panels. A wall panel will add a beautiful touch to the decor. Wall panels will give your home a look you and your friends will be surprised to see. Incorporating felt wall panels, architectural wall panels or architectural wood veneer wall panel to white bedrooms will give a glaring look to your room. They give a complete insulation on your walls, with no spots, no rots in future and no wasted energy.
The wall panel is ideal for any exterior and interior applications. It needs virtually no maintenance. You can include it in offices, conference rooms, building receptions, homes, flats, reception areas, entryways and more. These wall panels are water-, impact-, and stain-resistant, and they come at a very affordable price. As well as being durable and timeless they are also stylish, instantly adding a dramatic that raises the room's ambience and leaves a lasting impression. They are perfect for any room, including the garage, basement, study or utility room.
You have endless options to choose from and possibilities with which to decorate your home. Good interior decor now has an ally: you can balance the style of the furniture using wood veneer panels.

And using wall panels can help you not to go overboard with decorative items: balance and harmony is key while designing the room to support the look you seek.

This is week 32 of The Good Wife's Weekly Organization Challenge! This week focused on the kids' room.
A while back, I talked about how I updated The Good Daughter's room from a nursery to a woodland critter themed big girl room. Before the room just had white walls, her crib and wardrobe which is a hand me down that I have had since junior high.
I wanted to keep her room fun and functional. Shit, I even painted it pink. Growing up I never had a bedroom that I decorated. My mom would just get some furniture and then put it in my room and I would have to work around it. I had the wardrobe and a teeny, tiny single bed, a desk, a tv stand and a cabinet for dolls I didn't really like. So I thought it would be awesome if TGD could have something that she got to help create and she can live with for a few years.
But since we moved the crib out of her room and had another baby to put in that crib, that shit had to go somewhere too. What was once my home office became the new nursery. Once I found out I was pregnant, The Good Husband busted ass and got my office finished in the basement. There is no before photo of the hell that was my office.
Since I have two kids' rooms, each with separate functions {baby v pre-k'er}, each room as to serve a different purpose.
TGD's room has to be fun and colorful and give her a place to play, to sleep and offer storage for all her shit. TGS' room is basically there to keep his clothes and change his diaper, since he sleeps with us and doesn't play in his room at all.
We also have to keep our personal computer in there until we can finish the rest of the basement. For now, since no one sleeps in there it is ok, but as soon as The Good Son can play in there, it will have to move downstairs.
One thing that I did do differently this time is I added a changing pad. I use the top of the dresser for a changing table and keep a small container, similar to the one I use for my new mother breastfeeding survival kit, to help with diaper changes. That way I can have lotion, diaper area wash, rash cream and other essentials within reach at diaper change. I also have the dirty clothes hamper at one end of the dresser and the dirty diaper pail at the other.
TGS has a small box of baby toys in his room for when he can play with them. Right now TGD likes to get into it and pretend to be the baby again.
Another thing I added this time was a rocking chair. Now I can savor the 20 minutes I get each night rocking TGS to sleep. I get to snuggle in, rub my nose on TGS's little bald head and take 20 minutes to reflect on the day, to prepare for the next day and relish the last time I will probably have a baby in the house.
TGS also got all of TGD's nursery stuff - crib and bedding and decor. When it is time for his big boy room I will paint and give him some stuff that is all his.

The Educational Process as a Blind Person
Article originally published on E-Learn Magazine on September 18, 2017 – Click here for the Spanish version
Lucy Greco: "I am blind and visually impaired, I have been since birth. And very early on, I discovered how much more I could do using assistive technologies. When I was in grade school, I was given access to a computer that had a screen reader on it, and I found that it became much more liberating to be able to use a computer then. Going through college, I became a person who not only depended on computers but liked them, I found them intriguing. So I ended up being the person that helped other people and taught them how to use their computers. Early on, I realized I had a tendency to actually help people with disabilities find clever and unique ways to get tasks done, mostly with computers, but in other ways too. And I realized that assistive technology would be the career path I would get into.
When I first started using computers, in the mid-'80s, assistive technology was way far behind. I was using a word processor in the early '90s that did not have a lot of the major functionalities of the other word processors people were using. People had the ability to bold and emphasize text. I could not do that with my word processor with the same ease that they could. When Windows 3.1 came out, there were no screen readers for it. Today, Windows 10 came out and a screen reader was able to be used immediately with that.
The mainstream companies, like Microsoft, Apple, and Google, are all working on accessibility today. They now all have an understanding of accessibility and they have teams working on it, and they are incorporating it into their products. Ten years ago, we wouldn't have been able to use new products immediately. Today, we can, because these companies believe in accessibility. And yes, they have been mandated by law to become accessible, but I think most of them have incorporated it into their cultures.
There is some new really fascinating technology coming out on the market today. Even just two years ago, a blind person couldn't actually explore a mathematical formula properly on the web. Today, there are tools that will allow a person to actually follow how that formula is laid out and be able to calculate their answer to that mathematical formula in an accessible electronic way. I mean, I remember doing math in grade school, using braille, and it would take four sheets of paper to do a polynomial. Today, that can be done on the web and it can be done accessibly. That is amazing. It is going to offer opportunities to people who are blind and visually impaired that they have never had before. I think the future is really bright.
We will have a full-page tactile braille display within months. I have seen the prototype—it is amazing. Being able to look at a graphic and feel it with my hands, without paying hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was what they were available for in the past (this one is supposed to cost under a thousand dollars). I think I am lucky to be alive today as a blind person. And I think as institutions actually start teaching about accessibility—because they ultimately will be teaching about accessibility—we are going to get better and better tools and have more and more inclusion in society, in everything we do."

Kony Press Releases
New York, NY – September 11, 2017 – Kony, Inc., the leading enterprise mobility and digital applications company, today announced a partnership with Daon, a global leader in large-scale authentication deployments with significant live production systems in the financial services sector. By collaborating with Daon, Kony will help banks and financial institutions deliver highly-secure omni-channel apps through advanced biometrics authentication capabilities, including device cryptography and biometric authentication leveraging Daon's IdentityX® platform.
Daon is a leading innovator in developing and deploying biometric authentication and identity assurance solutions, helping businesses worldwide. Daon's IdentityX® Platform removes friction from the authentication process while providing the highest level of security with inherent multi-factor authentication. This enables businesses to deliver a higher level of security with an improved and enhanced customer experience.
"Eliminating the complexity of creating secure, omni-channel apps is a key focus at Kony," said Bill Bodin, chief technology officer, Kony, Inc. "Daon brings vast experience in the biometrics authentication field, and we're excited to be working with their team to bring these digital capabilities to Kony's best-in-class digital application platform. We believe that by packaging and exposing these complex authentication algorithms as easy-to-use visual widgets available through the Kony Marketplace, we'll in turn accelerate the use and adoption of these advanced features for anyone using our upcoming Kony AppPlatform V8 release to create digitally transforming applications."

Biometric authentication gives companies a secure and convenient way for their customers to authenticate using their own identities – i.e. by using their own fingerprint, voice or face, rather than remembering a number of different passwords. Consumers are looking to both simplify and secure their lives and our authentication platform solves this demand."
Kony has been selected to present at Finovate 2017. Bill Bodin will be showcasing Kony's Retail Banking App featuring Daon's Voice Authentication solution at the Finovate Conference on Monday, September 11, 2017 at 1:30pm in New York City.

From Malcolm (ESA), NL on 8 April
Just leaving ESA in the Netherlands for my flight to Alert in northern Canada to start the campaign – which has to be one of the biggest I've organised in my 10 years at ESA.
The two planes we have dedicated to the campaign will arrive this weekend along with other team members from Europe and Canada. So, hopefully we'll be kicking off with the first flights on Monday.
We've got a Twin Otter arriving from the Technical University of Denmark that carries the ASIRAS instrument. ASIRAS is an airborne instrument that was developed specifically to mimic the radar altimeter on the CryoSat satellite. In addition, we have a Basler-67 from the Alfred Wegner Institute, which is equipped with an electro-magnetic ice-thickness sensor.
So, while the planes take measurements from the air, team members will be out on the ice taking ground measurements. Apparently it's about -30°, so it's going to be a challenge.
I'll be spending the two weeks out in Alert, based at a military centre. From there I'll be covering the main activities before nipping back to NL for a week and then heading straight off to Greenland for another leg of the campaign.
NASA are already well into their IceBridge ice survey campaign and things seem to be going well with that. During the campaign, NASA is going to be carrying out several flights for us – underflying CryoSat. This is a great example of cooperation between our two space agencies.
I'm really looking forward to starting the campaign. It's been a lot of work to organise – we have over 50 people participating from 15 organisations, not counting ESA. So, now actually getting off the ground marks a real milestone!

You're going to WHAT???
That's what Mom said when I told her our plans to drive to Alaska. Yes, Alyeska, the greatland, the last frontier. An awe inspiring 3,7000 MILES from here!
I know what you're thinking, "No, really . . . what are you doing this summer???" And you are right in questioning both our plan. . . and our sanity. But, we're going. Not only will this be a grand adventure but it will likely be our last chance for a long vacation with Rebecca as her school schedule really kicks into high gear next summer with rotations.
Something like this.
n a nutshell, we're going to drive from Arizona all the way to Alaska and back. We've talked about it for years but it's so far and Bob never can take enough time off of work. Until I figured it out. The kids and I will drive to Seattle and Bob will fly in to meet us then we'll drive up and back, dropping Bob off at Salt Lake to fly home. Maximize our travel time and it will all be doable. Why didn't I think of this before?
Oh, and did I say tent?
We decided we'll try tenting at least some of the trip. Yes, tenting is new to our family. Other than sleeping in the back yard neither of the kids has had much desire to live the wilderness life, let alone use an outhouse… One of my friends recommended we do a test run. That would be smart, but I don't think we'll try. Still, after reading about bears though Bob says if we should encounter one it will be hotels the rest of the way…and price won't matter.
Okay, so here's where you come in… if you are in line on our route either via Seattle or the return through Yellowstone area we want to see you. Just let me know. Also, if you have advice or recommendations we want to hear from you. What's the best bug spray, bear repellent, leech remover??? I'm not planning to take my snake bite kit but what else will we need?
I did already buy this year's Milepost (for you non AlCan travelers, this is an annual book with mile by mile details of the road, attractions, lodging etc.) The last time I traveled the road I was six and my biggest memory is not of the AlCan but of crossing into Michigan on the Mackinac Bridge while twisting a comb into my hair effectively snarling my hair so much that Mom had to cut it out (hence my bangs in second grade).
The top picture is Matthew, who quickly claimed the Milepost and apparently has been waiting for just this opportunity as he has been pouring over the book since it arrived. You are probably asking how Matthew will do on the trip. Honestly, I can say, I don't know. But I think he will adjust. We have traveled far before. But never slept in a tent before. We will all be together and I am certain Matthew will see that all his most important treasures are packed.
So that's my news for today. Of course, I will take you along with us right here, though to save the house from burglars most of the trip may well be tape delayed. But if you are on the route we hope you will speak up so we can stop for a short visit!
More details soon!

The brand new unofficial Tranmere podcast, A Trip To The Moon, launched on Monday night, with the first episode featuring an interview with former Walsall, Anderlecht, Roda and Tranmere winger, Edrissa Sonko.
The Gambian international spent only one season at Prenton Park but was a popular figure with fans. Signed by Ronnie Moore, he was part of the team that went within minutes of a play-off place in League One, only to be denied on the final day of the season at Scunthorpe.
"Eddie" talks about his memories of playing for Tranmere, an on-pitch 'fight' with Steven Jennings and his regret at not having an opportunity to say goodbye to Rovers fans. He also discussed just how good the squad was that season.
The interview will leave you in no doubt about how much Sonko loved his time at Tranmere.
The podcast can be listened to on audioBoom, or on iTunes. Use the links below to navigate to each, and spread word to your Tranmere-supporting friends.

2. For those who will attend either the American Grammar or Business Writing workshop: I ask for a one-page writing sample, so I can see what I might need to focus on. I highlight all errors, fold the page over with the author's name on it, and hand it back before class. This allows attendees to see exactly what they might be confused about, so they can focus on those issues.

David Rosenberg puts out daily reports and most take note at some of the inner details of the actual economic reports that are released. Here are his bullet points for today:
- While you were sleeping: we are finishing the week with risk appetite on the mend
- Can the U.S. slip into outright deflation?
- Sentiment no longer sediment: looking at the latest American Association of Individual Investors Survey, complacency is once again the order of the day
- Philly cheesecake: the Philly Fed index came in below expectations in September and suggests that the ISM manufacturing index is in for a bit of a falloff
- Tame producer inflation in the U.S.: the headline PPI jumped 0.4% in August; however, removing the effects of food and energy, producer inflation was tame, up only 0.1%
- U.S. core inflation flat: CPI came in as expected, rising 0.3% MoM in August, but the big news was the core index, which came in flat on the month
- Where's the buyer's strike?
The University of Michigan sentiment survey was released at 9:55 am today and it has become clear that while current conditions still remain steady, the outward view is looking bleak. We know that consumers say and do different things, but this is a good indication of why inventories are rising, sales are flat and estimates are coming down.

Inside the new MCM Beverly Hills global flagship store
Luxury travel and accessories brand MCM Worldwide has launched its first global flagship, in Los Angeles.
The new 4427sqft MCM Beverly Hills store on Rodeo Drive features a two-story polished brass facade designed by Kenneth Park derived from the signature studs and gems on MCM's merchandise. This element is highlighted by the brass facets on the upper portion of the storefront, mirroring the classic design of the MCM logo plate. Flanking the facade on either side are large LED displays with dynamic content.
"MCM Beverly Hills Global Flagship location brings the brand's luxury German heritage, innovative design, thoughtful architecture and cutting-edge technology to one of the most iconic shopping destinations in the world, Rodeo Drive," said MCM Americas president Patrick Valeo. "We are so excited to be on Rodeo Drive as we continue our aggressive US expansion. This is our fifth location in California alone."
Inside, the brand has integrated technology with an interactive photo booth by Hypno. The brand has incorporated an oversized custom MCM Visetos bear into the photo booth frame, giving customers the option of immediately uploading their photo to their own Instagram account. In addition, a glass mosaic handcrafted in Italy mimicking the brand's logo is featured on the wall by the main staircase.
In keeping with the brand's dedication to hip-hop culture, a DJ booth and bar are located on the second floor that doubles as a secluded VIP event space.
This is MCM's 17th store in the US. The brand currently operates more than 650 stores worldwide covering more than 40 countries.

Greg Monroe has been snubbed, not once, but twice in recent days, first by the media, then by the coaches. I can't say I was all that surprised in either case. As has been argued by advocates of Wins Produced for some time, the people responsible for evaluating talent in the NBA tend to fixate on scoring and not much else.*
So, in spite of having a fantastic season, especially during 2011, Monroe is not getting the post-season recognition he deserves, at least not in the mainstream conversations. If you're a Pistons fan and find yourself frustrated by this, the Wages of Wins Network has your back.
First, a recent post from Dr. David Berri that discusses the "Most Productive Players" from every NBA team. For the Detroit Pistons, that player is none other than Greg Monroe.
Over at Courtside Analyst, Ty applies his "Value Rating" to this year's crop of rookies, and once again, Monroe looks good.
By all counts, Blake Griffin was deserving of all the accolades he received. He was outstanding this season and is likely to become a dominant big man. Landry Fields was quietly exception as well.
But by the numbers, Greg Monroe was also exception. There is no question that Greg Monroe was the second most productive big man in this year's class and was clearly deserving of a spot on the All Rookie First Team.
*In the case of individual awards such as MVP, team wins also seems to be considered. The top scorer on the best or one of the best teams, in other words. The Spurs' success as a team may help explain how Neal vaulted Monroe in popular perception, in spite of nearly identical PPG averages.

Hello everyone! Kristin here with a sweet card showcasing the new mini stamp set, Tons, and two die sets, Stitched in Circles Dies and Stitched Scallop Dies. When I saw this little elephant, I thought it would be fun to make it look like he (or she) was leaning out of the circle.
Here is my card:
This stamp reminds me of a pink stuffed animal that I had when I was little so of course I had to color the elephant pink! haha
To start, I colored the images with various copic markers and stamped the tiny hearts from the stamp set several times. I ended up using three small hearts above the elephant's trunk. I die cut the circles with the Stitched in Circles Dies and Die cut the hearts panel with one of the Stitched Scallop Dies.
I created the background blending Picked Raspberry Distress Ink out from behind the circles into the top of the card and lightly blending Picked Raspberry behind the hearts panel. The larger hearts are from the Chilly stamp set, stamped with Ultra Pink and Soft Pink inks from Hero Arts.
I used the sentiment, "Sending TONS of" on the front of the panel and inside the card it says, Heartfelt Thanks.
The sequins are from the sets, Hocus Pocus and StarPower. To finish the card, I brushed Clear Wink of Stella over the elephant's ears and over the tiny hearts. After covering the tiny hearts with Glossy Accents, I was done.

Conservation issues presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2005
The World Heritage Centre has received letters from Lithuania citizens calling attention to a 'Detailed Plan' for Vilnius, which if approved, will have a serious impact on the Old City of Vilnius. Some of the issues raised are destruction of green spaces, development of high-rise buildings and changes to the historic character of houses.
The World Heritage Centre arranged a meeting with the Permanent Delegation of Lithuania and ICOMOS on 22 April 2005 to discuss these issues. The Permanent Delegation explained that, in response to the preparation of the 'Detailed Plan' for Vilnius, Lithuania invited three independent teams of experts to review the plan. According to the recommendations of these experts, this plan is being revised taking into account the importance of Vilnius and respecting its World Heritage status. Furthermore, on 20 April 2005, a new Law on the Protection of Cultural Heritage has entered into force, ensuring further protection to the cultural heritage of Lithuania.
A number of high-rise buildings have however already been constructed opposite the Old Town of Vilnius, outside the buffer zone. Attention has also been drawn to the wooden heritage in the construction areas where a number of historic wooden buildings are being demolished.
Analysis and Conclusions of the World Heritage Centre, ICOMOS and ICCROM
Decision Adopted: 29 COM 7B.79
The World Heritage Committee,
1. Having examined Document WHC-05/29.COM/7B.Rev,
2. Noting with concern the information provided concerning the project for the construction of high-rise buildings located in the vicinity of the Old Town of Vilnius which will have a considerable visual impact on the property,
3. Regrets the demolition of the wooden heritage located in these construction areas which although not part of the World Heritage designated area, nevertheless form part of the cultural heritage of Vilnius,
4. Strongly urges the State Party of Lithuania to revise these projects to ensure the maintenance of the outstanding universal value and the integrity of the World Heritage property and reminds the State Party of its commitment to the implementation of the Convention,
5. Requests the State Party to provide to the World Heritage Centre by 1 February 2006 adetailed report on the development projects, the overall town planning and administrative provisions in place to ensure the adequate preservation of the property for examination by the Committee at its 30th session (Vilnius, 2006).

text: An extraordinary visual story told without words, featuring puppetry, illusion and original music. Tommy can't sleep. He hasn't been able to since his mum died a year ago. Since then, life has gone from bad to worse. His dad is grief-stricken, his big sister ignores him and he's become the target for the school bully. Then one restless night, Tommy goes to the window, throws back the curtain and... ...a dragon is looking at him. Straight in the eye. Terrifying and destructive, but powerfully intoxicating, the dragon burns with the anger and hurt that Tommy feels and makes anything seem possible. They go everywhere together as if connected by invisible thread and suddenly life is much better again. But mysterious fires have started igniting across Glasgow's Garnethill.

Once upon a time, Walt Disney decided he wanted to do more than animation – he wanted to elevate amusement parks to an art form and create utopian cities. Instead of leaving his burgeoning cartoon studio to chase this new dream, he spun off a small skunkworks team in 1952 called Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI), that went on to develop robotic-president animatronics, theme parks, and other technological wonders.
But more important than any of their individual innovations, WDI left an imprint on the organization that leads Imagineers to continuously seek ways to use technology in the service of stories. Fast forward to 2012, and Disney's research group now has six offices across the world, from Burbank to Zurich, releasing commercial projects and academic papers at a pace that would make the Seven Dwarves proud. We've poured over their output and found a few of the newest, coolest ones.
Disney D-Tech 3D-Printed Princess Figurines ——————————————-
Disney is helping push ordinary girls to become princesses with the aid of photo scanners and 3-D printers. Starting at $99.95, this 3-D printed tchotchke will hit the royal coffers hard (but not as much as this similarly gender-demarcating $1400 bejeweled Ariel figurine). The plaster princesses are at Disney's theme parks in Orlando for a limited time. But, as Walt Disney World is the most visited tourist location in the U.S., with over 17 million visitors per year, even slow sales will expose millions of eager minds (and wallets) to 3D-printing technology.
Better-Designed Balloons ————————
Due to the complexities of deformation, designing character-shaped balloons is a major challenge. When sculptors try to design a mold for a balloon that looks like an elephant, it starts off looking like a cute little pachyderm. However, when inflated, the rubber stretches into something that looks like a mad scientist's experiment gone horribly awry.
To overcome this, Disney scientists are hard at work developing a CAD program that will allow designers to specify the shape they want the balloon to be when it's fully inflated, which will then compute the distortions in the mold required to achieve that. With that CAD data, 3-D printers can then produce prototype molds to see if the design holds up.
Disney Research Zurich has been spearheading this research – you can read the paper Computational Design of Rubber Balloons (.pdf) online or watch a longer video, but unfortunately the software is not yet available. Learning how to make balloon animals is your best bet for now, but any improvements their research helps generate for future CAD software will be welcome.
Stained Glass Windows 2.0 ————————-
Basically, a method of assembling images that can change appearance based on the direction of the light – imagine a portrait looking friendly from one view but scary from another in the Haunted Mansion, or having a piece of artwork that changed appearance based on the time of day in your hotel room. The research, formally titled Manufacturing Layered Attenuators for Multiple Prescribed Shadow Images, was presented at Eurographics 2012, and you can be sure that souvenirs featuring this technology will be hitting the parks and Disney Stores even sooner.
'Glow With the Show' Mouse Ears ——————————-
World of Color is a nighttime show at Disney's California Adventure park that combines high power water fountains, colored lights, music, and video clips to create an experience like fireworks, but without the gunpowder. The $75,000,000 project combines over 1,000 fountains that can shoot water 25 feet into the air, along with a rainbow of projected visuals, to create a dramatic effect. And as if showing up the Bellagio wasn't cool enough, Disney decided to go for an encore.
Their creation: interactive mouse ears. The Imagineers who work on World of Color developed a new, high-tech take on the iconic Disney headgear that include a bevy of LEDs and IR receivers. While most visitors will buy these to take home as light-up souvenirs, their real magic happens during the light show. Show producers can control the LEDs on the crowd's hats remotely, lighting up certain parts of the crowd based on the phase of the show, creating a wave of light and color from right to left or front to back.
Interactive Cake —————-
Like there aren't enough factors working to keep America obese, Disney is now vying to bring interactivity to the dessert table. The new patent granted last month (#US 8,223,196 B2) describes a variety of ways eating cake could be more fun. Using an array of IR sensors and video projectors, images and videos can be projected on to cakes. More impressively, the experience can change according to the number of people around the cake, whether it's been cut or not, and even if people are singing – so the confection Buzz and Woody could sing Happy Birthday along with your kid's friends. Or maybe ask if you really need that third slice.

PowerOne to Offer Natural Gas in Ohio
PowerOne is expanding its service offerings in Ohio to include natural gas, which could potentially double revenues received from operations in that state. PowerOne recently obtained licensing to sell natural gas in Ohio, where it has been licensed to sell electricity for some time.
"Expanding our natural gas operations in Ohio is a huge step forward," stated CEO George Wahbeh. "By enabling PowerOne to participate in the brokerage of natural gas in addition to electricity, our company is poised to better address the cost-saving requirements of our customers while greatly increasing top-line growth."
By obtaining licensing for both energy types in Ohio, Wahbeh and PowerOne have positioned the company for long-term success in this booming market.
"Until recently, we have been unable to fully tap the potential of the Ohio market," said Jeff Moses, CMO of PowerOne. "With over 11 million residents living in Ohio—not to mention the state's significant commercial base—it was absolutely critical for PowerOne to expand our offerings to include natural gas.
By offering both electricity and gas, we can address customer needs on a seasonal basis. For example, customers might be more interested in saving on gas during winter and electricity during the summer, allowing PowerOne greater overall penetration in this lucrative market."

I had received a call from my beastly wife early the next morning after all the accusations of me being on the phone with her friend. She warned me with threats in the past to stay away from her friend. I felt that since I had no more ties to her that I could do whatever the hell I wanted, she is not my mom.
She asked me during that call if I had talked to the friend. I denied it and got pissed and bitched her out for calling so early, again. She called me early every morning that I had been out of her cave of a house. I was pissed about it, and I tried to get her off the friend subject.
She came back to the topic about the friend and asked me again if I had talked to her. Again I denied. Then the gloves came off, again, and the fighting got dirty.
She said the friend confessed to her the night before that we had talked.
I was blown away. I, too, confessed that we had talked.
Then she laughed an evil, twisted, beastly, and mean laugh only an asshole with a sick, demented, and psycho mind could laugh. She said she never asked the friend. She said she made it up to get the truth from me.
I had fallen into the same trap she had set for people her whole life. I had seen this trap before during our years of marriage, but I had never seen it from this point of view. I fell right into it.
She threatened me by telling me that she would get me back. She was a vengeful person and I will have hell to pay for this.
I hung the phone up on her and started to call my friends to give them the heads up on what had happened. Beast was like a terrible beast that would come down from the mountain and ravage a little, ill-equipped village.
She had the capability to eat the villagers' food, burn their tents, kill their pets, rape their women and children, and shoot and kill the men.
I had to warn everyone of the hell that I had coming my way, and them too if she tried. Their responses? "Fuck her!"
Later that morning I called the friend to inform her of what had happened and we conjured up a gameplan that would be the final straw on the camel's back for their friendship.


text: How can I get my furnace to turn on? I recently bought a used tent trailer, whose previous sole owner said the furnace worked, but they didn't use it. I found and connected red and white wires to the thermostat (they weren't connected). Propane and electricity are connected. A switch on the furnace is on. But when I move the thermostat lever all the way on, nothing happens. Trailer is a 2003 Jayco QWest. Furnace is factory installed. Thermostat is a Suburban 1c20-130 — original I think (strangely mounted on the side of the movable countertop). Maybe the thermostat needs replacing? Any help is much appreciated!
