Small-incision lenticule extraction monovision could be a valid option to manage presbyopia in patients with myopia, said Sheetal Brar, MD.
Small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE, Carl Zeiss Meditec) monovision could be a valid option to manage presbyopia in patients with myopia, said Sheetal Brar, MD.
She presented outcomes from 6 months of follow-up in a study that included 18 myopic patients who underwent SMILE bilaterally. All patients had right eye dominance and were targeted for emmetropia in their right eye and for myopia ranging from -1.00 to -1.75 D in their non-dominant left eye, depending on their tolerance and reading requirement.
“After 6 months of follow-up, we found that SMILE monovision provides satisfactory visual outcomes for near, intermediate, and distance vision and is associated with minimal side effects of nighttime halos and glare,” said Dr. Brar, Nethradhama Eye Hospital, Bangalore. India.
“However, SMILE monovision is a relatively new treatment modality,” she said. “Therefore, longer follow-up is needed to establish the benefits of this modality over other laser-based presbyopic procedures.”
Patients included in the study had a mean age of 46 years (range 44 to 52 years). Preoperative evaluations included a check for ocular dominance and assessments of monovision tolerance, suppression, and fusion.
“All patients were found to be suitable candidates for SMILE based on topography,” Dr. Brar said. “They all demonstrated good tolerance to anisometropia and good suppression and fusion.”
Patients were also counseled preoperatively that SMILE monovision would reduce dependence on reading glasses, but that they may still need glasses for fine tuning of near vision. The preoperative counseling also set expectations for needing a period of adaptation after surgery.
Mean SE preoperatively was -6.14 D in the dominant eyes and -5.55 D in the non-dominant eyes. Residual SE at 6 months was -0.14 D in the dominant eyes and -1.36 D in the non-dominant eye.
Monocular testing in the dominant eye showed no significant difference between the preoperative logMAR corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and the postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), 0.02 versus 0.05, respectively.
As expected, however, the non-dominant eyes that were treated with a myopic target had a drop in distance visual acuity comparing the preoperative CDVA and postoperative UDVA, -0.015 versus 0.136, respectively. In binocular testing, UDVA was 6/6 or better in 15 (83%) patients; 16 (89%) patients had uncorrected near visual acuity of N6 or better.
Intermediate visual acuity was checked at 40, 60, and 80 cm with an ETDRS chart. At all distances, there were no significant differences comparing the preoperative corrected and postoperative corrected outcomes.
Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity at 40 and 60 cm was also not significantly different than the preoperative corrected visual acuity, but postoperative uncorrected visual acuity at 80 cm was significantly better than the preoperative corrected vision.
Functional vision was also assessed with the Salzburg reading desk, and the results for testing at 40, 60, and 80 cm showed no significant differences comparing the reading speeds measured preoperatively with correction versus the results obtained both with and without correction at 6 months.
“We also checked the defocus curves from -2.5 to +2.5 D and found the procedure gives a depth of field of about 1.5 D, which is quite satisfactory,” Dr. Brar said.
Evaluation of fine stereoposis showed no significant differences comparing the values obtained preoperatively with correction and the postoperative results from testing performed with and without correction.
All patients completed a questionnaire at 6 months asking about satisfaction with vision at different distances and visual symptoms. The results showed 16 of the 18 patients were happy with their distance vision, 17 were happy with their near vision, and all patients were happy with their intermediate vison. No patients had been prescribed glasses.
“Only two patients still complained of mild halos and glare at 6 months, and no patient complained of headaches, nausea, or diplopia,” Dr. Brar said.
Dr. Brar suggested that good candidates for SMILE monovision include presbyopic patients who are myopic with a high refractive error, those who have moderate-to-severe dry eye or who have been long-term contact lens users, and individuals who play a lot of contact sports.
She noted that compared with LASIK monovision, SMILE has several potential advantages.
“SMILE may work better than LASIK monovision because there is better control of aberrations with SMILE with its more natural prolate corneal treatment profile,” Dr. Brar said. “In addition, SMILE uses a larger optical zone than LASIK and avoids any problems from fluence projection errors.
“With SMILE, there is autocentration on the visual axis, and it is also associated with less postoperative dry eye,” she said.
Dr. Brar has no relevant financial interests to disclose.

title: This new mortgage rule could save you from foreclosure

text:
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, millions of Americans lost jobs and many homeowners have had a hard time keeping up with their mortgage payments.
According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, around 3% of all residential mortgage borrowers are now behind in their payments by at least four months, more than at any time during even the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. “We have never before seen this many borrowers so far behind on their mortgages,” said Dave Uejio, the bureau’s acting director.
Four months is the point when foreclosure proceedings typically begin, but thanks to extended federal moratoriums, mortgage lenders have been held back on starting any new foreclosures for the past year.
However, for the health of the mortgage industry and the housing market and the general U.S. economy, that situation cannot last forever, and the current homeowner protections are set to expire on July 31, 2021. In order to stop a wave of foreclosures from starting on that date, the CFPB has issued a new rule that will take effect one month later, on August 31, and will be valid through the rest of the year.
Lenders will temporarily have to take extra steps before foreclosing on delinquent borrowers. Mortgage companies will be able to begin proceedings only if the home has been abandoned, or if the borrower has been unresponsive to contact for at least 90 days, or if they have thoroughly evaluated the borrower and no foreclosure prevention options are viable.
Banks will be allowed to immediately start processing foreclosures on any borrowers who were already 120 late before March 1, 2020, when the pandemic started causing financial problems.
The new rule also makes it easier for mortgage lenders to help borrowers into loan modifications. Delinquent homeowners will not be required to submit full paperwork for these streamlined loan changes, hopefully allowing lenders more flexibility to work with these borrowers. According to the new rule, no loan modification can increase borrower payments though, or extend their loan term by more than 40 years.
The CFPB’s goal is to avoid “preventable” foreclosures, according to Diane Thompson, a senior advisor at the bureau, by giving those homeowners time to make important decisions about resuming payments, modifying their loans, or selling. To borrowers who haven’t been making payments during the pandemic, she says its “important to understand that you’re going to need to figure out a plan for how to address that in the not-too-distant future. People need to be assessing their options.”
If you are behind on your mortgage payments, there are several options you can try right now to avoid a looming foreclosure. First contact your lender and explain your situation. The sooner you contact them, the better your chances of getting help, including mortgage forbearance, loan modifications, or altered mortgage terms. Second, you can ask for foreclosure avoidance counseling through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for more ideas. Third, you could try to sell your home before foreclosure proceedings start. The housing market is still hot right now, with rising prices and limited inventory, so there is a good chance you good sell for enough money to pay off your back payments as well. If you do not have enough equity, you could ask your lender for a short sale. In any case, involve your lender right away to avoid the worst consequences.

title: 3 tips faster virtual team problem solving

text:
Problem solving can require thousands of personal transactions or messages and research has even higher messaging levels. So every transaction delay time adds to the time it takes to get solutions.
We can see that with this transaction path diagram where the message goes from one person to the second to the third – all of them searching for the solution and every time hopefully they get a little closer to it.
But is there is a big problem: it can take thousands of these transactions. A day has over 86,000 seconds so if the reaction times take days instead of seconds, the solution time increases by a factor of tens of thousands.
So the 1st tip is that business users should learn from social media users, who react in seconds. For example on facebook you get immediate answers. “React in seconds”.
The 2nd tip: use collaborative applications which generate email notifications and that everybody can work on the same ideas and documents at once. For example, Google Docs for text documents, Mindmeister for mindmaps, Cacoo for drawings; Basecamp for Project Management, Questetra for Workflows and so on.
Then the 3rd tip is: that each person turns on all the notifications and forwards them automatically to on inbox, and then here’s the big one: test all the communication pairs between yourself and everyone else, so that if you send a message that they get an email notification that doesn’t go into to spam, for example.
Because if it does, its delay there of days makes it impossible to solve the problems. Not just difficult, but impossible. And then of course, when you get a notification click on it immediately because it will bring usually directly to where the topic is within the application, which saves your user time.
So if you found this issue of interest or you have any other project issues, please feel free to contact me. Thanks very much.

Long after you finish this dinner of steak and three veg, you're going to remember the way it was transformed by the simple addition of a luscious mustard sauce. It's an easy trick that gives this classic dish a new lease of life.
The quantities provided above are averages only.
Always read product labels for the most up-to-date allergen information. Visit hellofresh.co.nz/foodinfo for allergen and ingredient information. If you have received a substitute ingredient, please be aware allergens may have changed
All-American Spice Blend
butter (for the mash)
butter (for the sauce)
Preheat the oven to 240°/220°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Cut the carrot and white turnip into bitesized chunks. Cut the beetroot into small chunks. Place the veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
While the veggies are roasting, finely chop the brown onion. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onion until softened, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Peel the potato and cut into large chunks. Cook the potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the butter (for the mash), sour cream and the salt, then mash until smooth. Stir the cooked onion through the mashed potato. Cover to keep warm.
Place the beef rump between two sheets of baking paper. Pound the beef with a meat mallet or rolling pin until slightly flattened. In a medium bowl, combine the All-American spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the beef and turn to coat. Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the beef, turning, for 5-6 minutes (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest.
While the steak is resting, return the frying pan to a medium heat. Add the butter (for the sauce), Dijon mustard, the water and brown sugar, then season. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Stir through any steak resting juices, then remove from the heat.
Slice the steak. Divide the onion mash, steak and roasted veggies between plates. Pour over the mustard sauce to serve.

Why are crisis and hazard communications so important?
When an emergency occurs, the need to communicate a health hazard – at scale – is immediate.
After all, the initial assignment of any council or shire is to keep the community safe during a crisis event or emergency.
Alerting populations in danger with important hazard information, organizing emergency assembly points, and coordinating relief efforts means that a robust and effective way to communicate is essential. When a crisis event occurs, there is no time to waste – a government’s hazard communication program must be decisive, informative, and fast.
Crisis response and emergency management
Successful crisis response is defined by the capacity to assess and act quickly and decisively, whilst communicating with impacted groups, the community, and stakeholders using a number of alternative methods – including SMS, email, automatic alerts, social updates, and more.
Emergency management for an entire community means that crisis response plans, communication networks, and preventative measures need to be top-notch. Communities, staff, stakeholders, and contractors need to be informed about what to do when a health or physical hazard occurs – before it ever happens. This ensures that they can take protective measures to minimize potential impact in the event of a crisis, incident, or emergency.
Proactive alerting and notifications
With Whispir, councils and shires can provide a community-wide solution that allows them to manage crisis communications in addition to their other emergency planning responses. Plus, it doesn’t take an entire team to implement. A designated representative for hazard response can handle most – if not all of it – from one centralized hub.
Our omnichannel communications platform allows government bodies to directly engage with emergency services, schools, community bodies, and individual residents to coordinate effective action against a number of hazards including but not limited to:
Chemical hazards like oil spills
Equipment failures in and outside the work area
Natural disasters and severe weather
Or even potential workplace hazard mitigation like the correct labeling of chemicals, the proper disposal of hazardous waste, the presence of flammable liquids, etc.
Whispir is currently being utilized in Queensland, with a local government council keeping their community proactively informed about flood conditions and major dam releases in their area. Locals provide their contact and location details, and they receive notifications tailored to their location on the channel of their choice. The community is informed and prepared, ahead of time.
Engaging with the community
There’s no reason why this communications capability shouldn’t also be available for the everyday. Keep locals in the loop about infrastructure works, road closures, and council meetings, plus special events, festivities, and programs in their geographical location.
To ensure things are running smoothly, it makes sense to manage, send, and receive all your communications from one place. That way, you can monitor and track the specific information that’s being sent and received for every event.
Whispir can help councils and shires take the appropriate protective measures so they can respond fast to crisis events, keeping everyone safe and informed, while building community engagement.

I had a thought though: the more physics calculations to be done, the less cars peoples' puters could handle. 1000hz physics would be great, but there's a good chance that it would reduce the grid by 90% too...
In mutiplayer, it is not needed to compute the physics of other cars : the computer of the other player is already doing it. The positions have to be known in a fair amount of time to display the cars in the correct places for you. So 100Hz, 1000Hz, or 10kHz, no matter.
^^^ Exactly. Even when online too - I think your computer calculates a bit of other peoples' physics in between being updated by the incoming data, hence the weird swerving you see from people with lag...
I've never questioned it, but LFS records inputs as well as position, and there are some physics calculations at play. (I have questioned, though never asked, why distant cars might appear to lag in a MPR, yet when watching from that car or another close to it, the replay is solidly smooth. Even the MPR recorder's car might appear to lag when being watched from a distant car).
Hotlaps and therefore automatically all world records have been removed from lfsworld when new Blackwood came out so not sure what you are talking about. Airio clean laps maybe and support for custom car classes (FZ2, FX2 etc), but like I said before, support for Airio has ended (years ago) so no news to be expected from that. InSim makers have the opportunity to develop their own race tracker in the time that Airio still is operational and getting crippled as time passes.
I asked Victor recently and he said there is no such a thing as a WR based on online laps. If you type "/w wr" in game you get the hotlap WR. Online PB times are only for personal use and you can delete them yourself if you like.
I think the message you are seeing comes from Airio, as mentioned by cargame.nl, so I don't know about that.
There are 3 levels of movement for remote cars.
1) The nearest 4 cars within 120m - full physics
2) More distant cars - low resolution physics (to save CPU)
3) Very distant cars - straight line movement since last update
I don't think number 3 is visible except when you switch to a distant car's view and you can see it moving in straight line for a second, with no car visible. I think that is disabled if you switch off the multiplayer speedup option. Sometimes you can see the inaccuracy in number 2 which is not optional.
I haven't changed anything, just regenerated their KNW files for the new BL. Are you sure your AI were set to PRO?
The current AI aren't deliberately slow, and if they are simply "turned up" they just crash. I did spend quite a while improving the AI in the new tyre physics system, years ago. So there is already some better AI waiting, with better racing lines and speed prediction code. I haven't yet done any work on the overtaking methods, but that can come later.
That happens everywhere which includes sharp edges, regardless of layout or actual track.
I am also assuming pretty much there is high chance car interiors get update, and all tracks too...
The day when it arrives when I have to say goodbye Fern Bay hills, for jumping, for climbing for adventuring... The same thing as I had to say goodbye for old Westhill, track was nearly flat out, and it was awesome! I still miss old westhill... but I am still that opinion that new westhill is far better, it is even bigger to make some cool stuff in layout-side
It would be great if the AI would be more aware of our presence nearby. When racing against, it systematically ignore us if we are in a dead angle or even side by side. At a certain point, I'd say 1 meters ahead of them, they seem to suddenly start noticing our presence and then, if the racing pavement is a tad too narrow/risky ahead (maybe up to a 100 meters?), they jump on the brake, which can make the AI quite easy to beat for someone aware of this trick, or just racing on tight circuits such as Fern bay.
Maybe the AI should have different presets depending on the car they drive. e.g., if the AI is driving the F0X or any formula type of cars, they might behave more carefully with nearby cars to avoid wheel to wheel collisions but on the other hand, if racing in say, TBO class, a more aggressive preset could be used. Just throwing that out!

How ARC-X Works
When you import Final Cut Pro X events, projects, and clips into ARC-X, a number of things are done to protect your edit information and its media.
ARC-X breaks out all events, projects, and clips you export from FCPX into individual video, audio, and graphics files and backs them up to the ARC-X Media folder. All media is copied at its full original length so you’ll have the entire media file to work with when you restore your edit.
ARC-X backs up only the media files contained in the events, projects, and clips you export from FCPX. By not including unused media in the archive, the size of your FCPX library can be significantly reduced.
ARC-X creates a Media Inventory spreadsheet for the archive that includes information about font and 3rd-party plugin usage and the details of every media file in the archive. The Media Inventory is Microsoft Excel-compatible and makes it easy to trace media files back to their original storage locations or their new archive locations.
All fonts used in your archived projects are listed in the Media Inventory spreadsheet and, if the font files are accessible to your computer, copied into the Fonts Used folder. You’ll have all the font information needed to restore any text or titles in your project to their original state.
The Media Inventory spreadsheet keeps track of any 3rd-party plugins used in your projects. All settings for FCPX native effects, transitions, generators, and 3rd-party plugins are retained so, after restoring, you’ll only need to render them to make them look exactly the way they originally did.
A new ARC-X XML file is created that links the media files in the ARC-X Media folder back to FCPX. You’ll have two options for restoring your edit from the archive:
- You can send the entire ARC-X archive to other artists, editors, and collaborators. They can import the ARC-X XML file into a new FCPX library, load any fonts or plugins needed, and start working. See the video...
- Open your original FCPX library and link to the media files in the ARC-X Media folder. See the video...
Either option restores your edit to its original state.

In the Wrong Story
After a long wait, a woman about her age, carrying a wailing baby in her arms came into the drawing room to greet her. She was in a sari and she was beautiful in a traditional Indian way. She must be his sister. Sachin often mentioned the baby fondly.
‘I’m sorry, but Sachin is away on a patient call. Can you wait for him?’ she asked.
So he was already seeing patients. She was impressed.
I could wait forever for him, she thought as she nodded her head.
The baby’s cry grew louder. 'Aaccha baba,’ the woman said tenderly in mock irritation as she opened her blouse to draw the baby to her breast.
Erin was embarrassed by this intimate scene and spoke hurriedly to hide it. ‘It’s wonderful that Sachin has started seeing patients even before completing his degree.’
The woman looked up surprised, ‘Sachin is a practicing doctor since the last three years, ever since he finished his MD.’ ‘He also teaches at the NIMS hospital,’ she added with pride.
The baby lost his mother’s nipple. The woman guided its mouth to her breast again.
‘It’s surprising that an English woman would see a doctor in India without checking his credentials.’ She laughed but her face had a frown.
After a long silence Erin’s voice came out as a low moan, ‘You must be Anusha, his sister!’
The woman looked up with a start. A look of alarm crossed her face. ‘No, I am his wife.’
She was looking very carefully at Erin’s face. She gave a nervous laugh before starting again, ‘So Sachin has been talking to you about his family. Actually, he did mention you once while talking to me on the phone. You see, I was with my parents for three months for the birth of my baby. You had a skin problem of some kind, he said-- but you look fine now...'
Erin slumped into her sofa.
The baby was now crying loudly again, making his mother increasingly restless. ‘I think he needs his bottle. Just give me two minutes,’ she said gathering herself.
Erin did not lose a single minute. She hurried down the staircase, and walked furiously down the narrow road. Scenes played themselves out in her mind like a motion picture; the boat rides in the river, their long conversations; Sachin kissing her on the sofa and then leading her to his bedroom; the bus ride to Canning; images of their visit to the Sundarbans danced around her- blinding light, dark twisted trees, and surprisingly, the solitary black-tailed Godwit perched on the tree, majestic in its isolation.
As she crossed one narrow alley only to enter another, the lights suddenly went out.
‘The damn power cut again,’ she cried out ferociously to have a grip on her racing heartbeat. The road was plunged into darkness and she could hear strange voices all around her, but she knew she had to find her way home.


title: Stepp commercial completes 4 39 million portfolio sale of two apartment properties in eastside submarket of long beach

text:
Stepp Commercial, a leading multifamily brokerage firm in the Los Angeles market, has completed the $4.39 million portfolio sale of two apartment properties located in the Eastside submarket of Long Beach, Calif.
Principal Robert Stepp and Senior Investment Associate Travis Traweek of Stepp Commercial represented the seller, a Long Beach-based private investor, as well as the buyer, a San Diego-based private investor who paid all-cash.
“These two assets are situated about a mile from each other and offered the new buyer the opportunity to expand its Long Beach area portfolio,” said Stepp.
“The seller had owned the properties for 25 years and determined that it was time to seek a higher return on his equity,” said Traweek.
Following is information on each property:
- 1085 Molino Avenue was sold for $2.245 million and at a cap rate of 4.1 percent. Built in 1988, the eight-unit property consists entirely of two-bedroom units and includes 12 parking spaces, laundry room, and a large garage storage area. The property offers the new owner an approximately 22 percent upside based on current market rates.
- 3930 E. 11th Street was sold for $2.145 million and at a cap rate of 4.2 percent. Built in 1988, the building consists entirely of two-bedroom units and includes 12 parking spaces and a laundry room. The property offers approximately 28 percent in rental upside based on current market rates.
Nestled between Alamitos Beach and Traffic Circle, the Eastside submarket is one of the most popular rental pockets in Long Beach. Living in Eastside offers residents a sparse urban feel and many residents own their homes. With a plethora of restaurants, coffee shops, retail and parks, the neighborhood is highly walkable.

Shiv Nadar University Delhi NCR’s Young Thinkers Forum Summer School Draws Record Participation
Greater Noida, 10th June 2025: With artificial intelligence, robotics, and environmental action on the agenda, this year’s Young Thinkers Forum (YTF) Summer School at Shiv Nadar University, Delhi-NCR, saw record participation from high school students across India. Over 110 students from 50 schools across 15 states attended the week-long residential program, which concluded this week on the university’s Greater Noida campus. Designed to introduce young minds to university-style learning, the program offered students from Grades 9 to 12 to explore multidisciplinary subjects through hands-on workshops, field visits, and project-based learning.
The 2025 edition featured more than 30 sessions across diverse subjects including mathematics, science, astronomy, entrepreneurship, robotics, botany, and design. A key highlight this year was the newly launched Robotics Tech Tinkers Program, which saw enthusiastic participation from students in grades 7 to 12. They gained practical experience by building robots and rovers, and also had the opportunity to interact with Alpha Mini Robots and humanoids.
Complementing the university’s own faculty-led academic workshops, the program brought in industry experts to deliver hands-on sessions. External workshops were led by organisations such as Sony India, WWF India, Milagrow Humantech, HCL Guvi, and Jitin Chawla’s Centre for Learning, offering students an insider’s view into emerging trends and real-world applications.
Vinnie Mathur, Chair of the Young Thinkers Forum, Shiv Nadar University, Delhi-NCR, remarked, “The YTF Summer Program continues to inspire students across the nation with its sole aim to expand the boundaries of human knowledge through education. This year, we have once again successfully delivered a university experience to high schoolers by subjecting them to well-rounded and multidisciplinary hands-on skill building. We continue to work towards our vision and will return with even greater opportunities to unlock the immense potential of our country’s students.”
The internationally award-winning summer school program offered a rich mix of indoor and outdoor activities, hands-on engagements, and case studies. Students not only attended academic lectures but also focused on personality development and received career guidance. This year’s excursion to the Amarpur Harit Upvan, a reforested green space developed by SayTrees in collaboration with the HCL Foundation, allowed students to witness community-led environmental action firsthand.
Students left the program with new friendships, fresh perspectives, and meaningful experiences. This year, the program welcomed international participants as well. Launched as an early academic exposure platform, the Young Thinkers Forum Summer School has grown steadily over the years, attracting students from across India and beyond. With its unique blend of experiential learning, industry engagement, and academic mentorship, the program aims to inspire the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and changemakers.

I partnered with Dremel to bring rotary tools to JOANN stores!
Dec 3, 2019
2 min read
Hello cosplay crafters! I’m so excited to tell you that I have partnered with Dremel to bring a new collection of rotary tools to select JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores across the USA!
You can now grab essential Dremel® tools and accessories on the same shopping trip as your EVA foam and other cosplay crafting materials, and take advantage of the frequent Sales and weekly coupons JOANN offers!
We have selected two tools that we consider incredibly useful and versatile for cosplay crafting - the Dremel® 3000 with standard Flexshaft (my go-to tool) and the new cordless Dremel® Lite (bringing it to every con).
Electronic power tools are not usually available in craft stores, but hardware stores can overwhelm you with their selection, so I hope that having a couple of tried and true rotary tools in JOANN stores will make it easier for you to pick up what you need and get you on your way to crafting sooner.
Over the next few weeks, I will post costume progress and tutorials on the Dremel® 3000 and Dremel® Lite to show you just how easy they are to use!
Next time you're in JOANN, look for an Endcap display of the two rotary tools and accessory kits with tons of bits and attachments! The Dremel® x Yaya Han items will also pop up on www.joann.com any day now!
I'm really happy Dremel® and JOANN gave me the chance to work on this project! I also want to thank YOU so much for your continued support - none of this would have been possible without the enthusiasm of the cosplay community!!!
Please let me know what you think of these tools! Have you used the 3000 or Lite before? Isn't the USB port so cool? What other tools would you like to have available in JOANN stores? Let me know in the comments!


title: Annenberg space for photography announces new exhibit country portraits of an american sound

text:
The Annenberg Space for Photography today announced its next exhibition, Country: Portraits of an American Sound. This exhibit presents images of the pioneers, poets and icons of country music, and will be offered free to the public May 31 through September 28, 2014. Guest curators for this exhibit are Shannon Perich of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, and Tim Davis and Michael McCall of the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum.
Country: Portraits of an American Sound uses historical and contemporary photographs to explore how images shape the public identity of country music performers and of the genre itself. Celebrated performers such as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Keith Urban and Hank Williams—as well as deejays, fans, executives and musicians—are seen in the works of photographers who documented multiple generations of this popular history.
The work of the featured photographers spans from post-World War II America into the new century. The photographers include the late amateur photographer Elmer Williams; the late studio photographer Walden S. Fabry; veteran Grand Ole Opry staff photographer Les Leverett; the late Los Angeles-based photographer Leigh Wiener; Boston-based documentary photographer Henry Horenstein; iconic entertainment photographers Henry Diltz, Raeanne Rubensteinand Ethan Russell; and contemporary photographers David McClister and Michael Wilson. Through their work—a variety of documentary, studio, promotional and fine art images—guests visiting the Annenberg Space for Photography can see and experience the power of photography to portray the American ideals that country music embodies.
In addition to over 110 prints, the exhibit will feature an original half-hour documentary commissioned by the Annenberg Space for Photography and produced by Arclight Productions. The film explores the image of country music and its evolution over 80 years, highlighting photography’s role in documenting the history and capturing the culture of this uniquely American sound. The film features photographers Henry Diltz, Henry Horenstein, Les Leverett, David McClister, Raeanne Rubenstein, Leigh Wiener and Michael Wilson. Over a dozen country music artists also appear, including Roy Clark, Merle Haggard, Lyle Lovett, LeAnn Rimes, Marty Stuart and Lee Ann Womack.
Also on display will be country albums and film posters, a slideshow of digital images, archival artifacts including musical instruments and stage costumes from the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum collection, and a jukebox containing rare, archival audio files.
Woven throughout the Photography Space will be screens presenting short videos including one by Shannon Perich and The Biscuit Factory that gives an overview of the origin of country music, a 20-minute film by Henry Horenstein about the legendary Texas music hall the Broken Spoke and additional archival videos.
The Annenberg Space for Photography Skylight Studios will continue to host the popular Iris Nights lecture series with speakers from the world of country music photography. The lecturer schedule will be announced at a later date.


title: Local guidelines

text:
Local guidelines when determining spousal support in Virginia are beneficial because theoretically, the expenses that exist upon this can vary depending on where in the Commonwealth a person lives. Similarly, the amount of money that somebody might earn for a comparable job can vary between certain areas in Virginia. It would appear that is why local guidelines have been established, and why localities have created their own different guidelines.
In the Northern Virginia area, the local guidelines for spousal support are the 30%- 50% calculation, or when there are minors of the parties, the same formula is used but replaced with 28% of the higher paid spouse’s income and 58% of the lower.
In a temporary situation, the local guidelines of spousal support in Virginia are somewhat binding. However, it is understood that when certain parties earn more than a certain amount, the guidelines are not necessarily binding. In a final determination of spousal support, it is expected that the court will not use the guidelines and will look more specifically to the financial ability of the higher-earning spouse to pay the financials of the person requesting spousal support.
The point of local guidelines in Virginia spousal support cases is to have more consistency in results among cases. When it comes to temporary support, there are only certain cases where the court will look beyond the guidelines. These guidelines are universally applied. The thought process is that there should be some uniformity in how married couples are treated by the courts.
Application of Local Guidelines in Virginia
In the temporary spousal support hearing, these guidelines will typically be applied for the purposes of determining of support. When the court is being asked to make a determination of a permanent award, the guidelines are not usually considered.
The thought process would be that the guidelines take into consideration both the income of the party requesting support and the income of the party being asked to pay spousal support.
Contacting an Attorney
Typically, an attorney will represent one party or the other when determining the local guidelines of spousal support in Virginia. If the attorney is representing the person being asked to pay support, then they will make sure that the employability of the other party has been explored and decide whether that individual could potentially be earning more to support themselves financially. The attorney for the payor of the spouse will also be able to assist in presenting the best case possible, showing that the other spouse has the ability to support themselves.
Since the attorney represents the person seeking support, it will be the attorney’s job to assist in establishing what the financial needs of that person are both currently and in the foreseeable future, and figuring out what the ability of the payor spouse is to pay toward the requesting spouse’s financial obligations.


title: Quick a c replacement when my device died

text:
Living in FL means that I am no stranger to warm weather; It comes early and just stays around forever, and palm Bay, FL sees some intense Summer weather, but that is why I don’t joke around with my cooling situation, and last Summer my a/c just decided to up and quit running on me.
I was in a panic and called the local air conditioner supplier in Palm Bay.
I asked them about A/C replacement. I browsed through all the cooling options and I found one that stuck out to me. I liked the sound of high velocity cooling! With high velocity AC, the air hastily whips around the property room by room. The ducts are half the size, fledbiles and can be legitimately installed. That is good since I have an older property without an air duct. The air works so much better than a central or ductless motion. Living in Palm Bay means that I deal with heat most of the year and I don’t ever want to be warm indoors. The high velocity cooling replacement in FL was done right. The corporation showed up when I wanted him, got it done with minimal mess, and the bill was what I expected. I truthfully thought it would take more time. I begged the guy to arrive on the same day my device went out, but he did it and I was only without A/C for about eight hours. Not too bad for a FL Summer right? I am very thankful I didn’t have to go overnight in Palm Bay without a respected cooling system.

IN RUST WE TRUSTTM
COBRA® BRINGS BACK THE
Trusty Rusty Wedges are Back
CARLSBAD, CA (November
3, 2011) – Get ready for
chipping, cheers and fist pumps - COBRA is bringing back the Trusty Rusty wedges.
The fan favorite is back in three style-defying cosmetics that rust over time
for versatility, enhanced feel and shot making.
The Trusty Rusty wedges come in three
finishes: an all over pre-rusted finish, satin finish with pre-rusted hitting
area and black PVD. Each features a non-plated finish that is 7% softer than
chrome and will rust more over time, promoting maximum allowable spin and
enhanced feel. The True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 shaft has been painted black
with non-glare coating and precision laser engraving for a striking look.
“Golfers of all abilities looking for
enhanced feel and versatility should use the Trusty Rusty wedges,” commented
Tom Preece, Vice President of Club Research and Development at COBRA PUMA GOLF.
“We used 100% Raw, unplated 8620 Carbon Steel which rusts over time for
enhanced feel, shot making and versatility.”
COBRA partnered up once again with
short-game guru Phil Rodgers for the development of the Trusty Rusty wedges. Using
Phil’s expertise, the successful attributes of the original Trusty Rusty and
new technology, COBRA created the modernized Trusty Rusty; complete with
non-plated finishes, Tri-Bounce sole, laser precision technology – and they
conform to the 2010 USGA/R&A Groove Rule.
“COBRA’s first Trusty Rusty wedges were
loved by golfers everywhere,” said Bob Philion, President, COBRA PUMA GOLF. “We
frequently get requests from our consumers and Tour Players to bring these
back. We’re excited to be expanding into a new category, revitalizing the
Trusty Rusty name with new finishes and improved technology. Our Tour Players already
love the wedges and you’ll see quite a few in their bags on Tour.”
A unique and personal wedge cosmetic
will develop over time as the Trusty Rusty rusts, benefiting the golfer by
providing improved feel. While the
wedges will rust on their own, there are ways to speed up the rusting. COBRA
will share ways the wedges can rust faster and invites consumers to share their
tricks by joining the conversation on our Twitter handle, @cobragolf using the hashtag
Trusty Rusty Wedges Technology
The COBRA Trusty Rusty Wedges are
made with 100% raw, unplated 8620 carbon steel that will rust over time. The
Tri-Bounce Sole with rear scallop provides enough bounce for forgiveness but
keeps the leading edge height low so golfers can get underneath the ball. The
Lamkin 3GEN® Grip has improved vibration damping, stays soft and
tacky in all playing conditions and does not absorb moisture. A longer length
with less taper allows for consistent feel when golfers need to choke down on close
Tri-Bounce Sole with Rear Scallop
- Higher bounce in the center with relief in the heel and toe optimizes performance for long, medium and short/flop shots
Laser Precision Technology
- Patent-pending aggressive machined grooves with post-laser milling. Features four distinct surface roughnesses that result in maximum allowable spin
- Promotes maximum allowable spin and enhanced feel with non-plated finishes that rust over time.
The Trusty Rusty Wedges (MSRP $129)
are available in men’s right handed lofts of 49°, 51°, 53°, 55°, 57°, 59° and 61°
with a True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 shaft. Left-handed lofts of 51°, 53°, 55°,
59° and 61° are available as well.
The Trusty Rusty will be available
at retail December 9th, 2011.

title: 6 myths associated with lasik treatment

text:
Laser assisted non-invasive method for correction of eye effect i.e. LASIK receives much acclaim from those who undergo LASIK and get 20/20 vision or better. However, there are a number of notions and myths that surround LASIK and in turn, discourage people from getting their vision correction via one of the safest technique in modern medicine. We have busted six of the Myths associated with LASIK Treatment below.
LASIK Surgery is ‘Painful’-
When undergoing Lasik Laser Eye Surgery, the doctors will administer eye-numbing solution, moisturizing solution and antiseptic agent to prevent any type of pain or aftermaths. LASIK is a non-invasive method and it barely hurts a little as the only invasive method used in it is for cutting the corneal flap after which lasers take over.
Aged people can not get LASIK –
The best method for getting rid of any vision defect and eyeglasses is LASIK. It is ideal for anyone aged 18 to 70 years or above, thus, Aged people can get LASIK done too.
The Recovery process is long –
The maximum time is taken for a full recovery after LASIK is actually just a week. The corneal flap starts healing itself right after surgery whereas the vision is restored within a day.
LASIK is new, therefore, nobody is aware of its long-term effects –
The first LASIK surgery was performed in 1987 in North America. The technique has proven its caliber as even after 25 years, no casualty of patients going blind has been reported yet.
LASIK is not better than Contacts or Glasses.
Glasses and Contacts have its procedure of usage. It needs special care to wear and remove both contacts and glasses to prevent damage. However, LASIK has proven to provide 20/20 vision or better without the use of glasses and contacts.
LASIK cannot treat Astigmatism/Myopia/Hyperopia –
Vision defects are because of a slight difference in the shape of the eye or the incidence of light on the retina causing a number of vision defects. LASIK is known to treat any and all type of vision deficiency via short bursts of lasers.


title: What to expect if you are trying to get auto financing with bad credit

text:
If you need a car, but you have less than ideal credit, you may think that getting a car loan can be challenging. Fortunately, that is not always the case. Many companies are catering to those with bad credit and helping you get approved for a loan. The primary reason for this is because they can always repo and resell the car if you do not make the payments, making it a reasonably safe loan to make. However, if you have never attempted to get an auto loan with bad credit, you may not be sure what to expect from the process or how it will differ from getting a loan with good credit. Here is what you can expect if you are trying to get auto financing with bad credit.
When you have bad credit, you may find that most car dealerships will offer you in-house financing, rather than having a bank or credit union take on your loan. You may find a dealership who offers buy here pay here types of loans, or one who simply lends you the money directly from them. This is because many banks and credit unions won't take on the loan because of your poor credit history. This is important because the amount of interest they charge you is typically higher than what you could get from banks and credit unions. However, this doesn't mean you have to pay more in interest than you should. Take the time to call around and find out which dealerships offer the best in-house financing rate and then try to get approved there.
Needing to Provide References
When you are trying to take out a loan for a car when you have bad credit, you will typically need to provide more information than you would if you have good credit. The lender will want to know where you work, how long you have worked there, who your supervisor is, and need you to provide references of friends and family, including their name and phone number. Since they can't rely on your credit history, they look at your job history and references to determine stability. If you have poor credit and bounce around from job to job, it will be a lot harder to find a company willing to approve you because you do not have stability. However, if you have poor credit history but have a decent, stable income with a company you have worked at for five years and have references in the area, it will be easier to get approved for a car loan.
A Co-Signer May Come Into Play
If you have poor credit, another difference between getting a loan with good credit is that the lender may ask for a co-signer. A co-signer basically agrees to pay your car loan if you are unable to do so. This means that the lender has two different people to come after if the payment isn't made, which may increase your chances of getting approved for a car loan if you have bad credit. It is also important to note that the co-signer's name will be on the title of your car and they can take possession of the car at any time, so it needs to be someone you completely trust, such as a parent or sibling, rather than a boyfriend or girlfriend who you have an unstable relationship with.
Trying to get a car loan with bad credit is a different process than getting a car loan when you have good credit. You have fewer options and may end up paying more in interest. Knowing what to expect can help you prepare for the situation as best you can, so that you are not surprised by anything at the dealership. Contact a dealer like Leopardi Auto Sales for more info.

title: Understanding

text:
I am the friend that makes all these promises, and sets up dates, but doesn’t keep them.
I promise you it’s not on purpose though! In the moment I really do want to spend the time with my close friends, and I say yes with all intention of committing, but then things come up and I end up not holding my end of the deal. I’m sure as students you guys can relate with having to cancel things because you have class, or you have to write a paper that’s due.
At the same time, my friends know that I am super considerate of things important to them. If it’s an important occasion to them such as a birthday, housewarming, etc, I’ll do whatever I need to do to be there. Or say they have already invested money into something, like bought me a ticket ahead of time, they know I will be there. The thing is with a schedule like mine–juggling work, school, an internship, and my personal life, I heavily prioritize, and that affects my “friend language”.
So what is a friend language?
I don’t know if you have heard this before but they say we all have a love language which is basically how we show, receive, and understand love. This concept was introduced in a popular book, The 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman, where he outlines that there are 5 universal ways in which people generally express and communicate love. You can read about them by clicking on this link. Also, if you click on the book title above, you can take a quiz to learn your love language!
The 5 love languages are: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.
Here is a 5 love language “cheat sheet” that shows how people associated with the specific love languages typically define the expression of love.
Now when it comes to your friend language, it is the same idea. Take a minute to think of your circle of friends. You may have that friend that who does not like to talk on the phone much, so if you want to talk to that friend you know you have to text them. Then you may have that friend who doesn’t like big crowds, so you have to consciously pick and choose things to invite that friend to so they aren’t uncomfortable. You may have that friend who offers great advice and can listen to you go for hours; and on the other hand, you have the friend who doesn’t talk much so you know not to go to them for those extensive conversations. Just think of the differences between your friends, and the things about their communication styles that make them unique.
Knowing your own friend language and the language of your friends can help in figuring out how to best be there for each other. There’s no set in stone definition for “friend languages” (I may actually be the first to coin the term, I should really look into that lol) but it is really about knowing how your friends communicate differently, what is important to them in friendship, and what is important to you.
What is your friend language? What things do you use to measure friendship? Is it quality time? Do you value friends more when they talk to you every day? Are you transparent with your friends on how you communicate and show that you value their friendship? Do you understand them? I think there is a lot of miscommunication in friendship, and any relationship for that matter, because one does not understand the others language.
I ask myself all the time how can I be a better friend? I have friends that get offended when I do not show up to things they invite me to because part of their friend language is they value quality time and social interaction. Whether you show up for them or not is important to them. Knowing that, I try to honor their feelings and show up to events more often because I know it’s important to them. This example right here is exactly what a friend language is, and how you can seek to learn, interpret, and understand it.
Can you be a better friend to someone now that you have thought about the different ways they may communicate and perceive your actions in the friendship? Is there a friend in your life that you think may not quite understand how you operate as a friend and maybe you need to be more clear?
These are important questions to reflect on because friendship can be beautiful when done right. Just like the picture above says it revolves around the concept of understanding.
Evaluate your friendships today for the better, understanding others is also understanding yourself.
Love ya, Neffi


title: The luscious list gingerbread cookie

text:
I can't believe there are only 2 more weeks till Christmas! I hope you've enjoyed my gift post for kids and stocking stuffers for him and her. My husband and I are going out tonight after the girls are in bed to finish our shopping. I will be posting the girls wishlists tomorrow and a few other gift ideas this weekend.
The girls had a gingerbread cookie decorating play date this afternoon with our neighbors. My friend has 4 girls so it was an all-girl afternoon filled with lots of dressing up and baby dolls. This was my first time making gingerbread cookies and it was so easy to make with my Kitchen Aid mixer. I used this recipe. I let the girls roll out the dough. I was able to do two batches of cookies- about 12 total. The girls used mini m&ms, assorted sprinkles, and white pearl sugar to decorate.
I've been addicted to these cookies from Trader Joe's. I stocked up on the mint ones (I eat by the handful) and when I went back I got the shortbread ones. Both are delicious!
I finally caved and bought Ellie new Uggs. I felt bad she didn't have
any warm boots and the rest of us have them. Plus, I know Summer will
be able to wear them in a couple years, too. It's worth the investment, especially because she will be wearing them almost everyday.
I've spent two nights so far with my Nana helping her clean out her closet. She was feeling overwhelmed with all of her clothes and hadn't gone through them in years. We loaded up six huge trash bags of clothes that I went through to donate and some to consign. I am keeping a few pieces including this Elie Tahari tweed blazer. She has always had good taste and shops at high-end stores. It's been fun going through her stuff, but even more just spending time with her.
The girls have really been into reading books together. Sometimes Summer will sit on Ellie's lap while she "reads" to her. I also just got out all of our Christmas books this month so we've had fun reading through them.

title: World war ii history technological advances and warfare

text:
The US, USSR, and UK fought the Axis Powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan. War changed in 1943 when the Soviet Union defeated the Germans in Stalingrad and stopped their advance into Eastern Europe. This victory and the Allied invasion of Sicily created a two-front war that weakened the Axis, setting up the Allied victory.
WWII victims and the Holocaust
Holocaust is one of World War II’s most horrific events in Europe, symbolizing war’s brutality. Six million Jews were killed by Nazi Germany and collaborators. Millions of Polish and Soviet civilians, Romani, disabled, political prisoners, and Jews were killed. War can worsen human suffering, as the Holocaust showed.
German Lebensraum invasion of the Soviet Union increased war brutality and civilian casualties. Continental death and destruction resulted from Axis ideology. After the 1945 Allied victory in Europe, the Holocaust and its oppressive regimes ended, but humanity’s collective memory of those lost and the lessons of the atrocities continue to resonate, emphasizing the importance of remembering the human casualties.
Significant WWII events: strategic bombings and Russo-Finnish war
The Russo-Finnish War and the Allies’ strategic bombings changed World War II. The relentless aerial bombardment campaigns against German forces and Japanese cities, culminating in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki attacks, showed the strategic shift toward air power and its deadly ability. Bombings weakened the Axis powers and demoralized their populations, helping the Allies win. After the Russo-Finnish War showed Finnish resilience and tactical ingenuity on the Eastern Front, the Soviet Union had to rethink its military strategies. Despite the Soviet win, the war exposed Red Army weaknesses, prompting major military reforms. These events set the stage for the declaration of war on Germany and Japan and the European and Pacific victories.
WWII Chronology: Polish Invasion to Soviet Liberation
World War II began when Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. The UK and France declared war on Germany on September 3. This act sparked a global conflict between many nations for power, freedom, and survival. The Allies declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbor, and the US won the Battle of Midway in June 1942. These crucial moments shifted power, giving the Allies victory.
European victory came in May 1945 when Nazi Germany unconditionally surrendered. The Pacific War ended with Japan’s surrender after the 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. After WWII, the US and USSR became superpowers, starting the Cold War. After World War II, the Soviet Union’s 1991 collapse ended 20th-century geopolitics. World War II changed history from the invasion of Poland to its transition to communism.
July 1943–May 1945 Pacific War analysis
World War II in the Pacific Theater was shaped by relentless campaigns and battles from July 1943 to May 1945. Geographical diversity, complex naval and air operations, and Allied logistical issues defined the Pacific War. Before this, the June Battle of Midway gave the Allies naval power. Allied victories depended on later campaigns, including the island-hopping strategy that brought forces closer to Japan. Strategic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War II, proving technology’s importance.
Allies suffered heavy casualties and had to overcome Japan’s well-defended cities and islands. The controversial but effective atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki accomplished the air power and naval blockade strategy to break Japanese spirit. This ended the war abruptly but raised ethical and moral questions about modern warfare. American declaration of war on Japan followed the Pearl Harbor attack, setting the stage for the brutal Pacific Theater conflict from July 1943 to May 1945. It also showed how ending WWII devastated people.
War Begins: Poland and the Declaration
Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, starting World War II. In response to this aggression, Britain and France, which guaranteed Poland’s borders, declared war on Germany on September 3. This heightened European tensions, turning a regional conflict global. On September 17, 1939, Stalin’s Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east after a secret agreement with Nazi Germany. This dual invasion of Poland destroyed Poland and showed the Axis’ ruthlessness, setting the stage for years of war.
Ending appeasement, Britain and France declared war on Nazi Germany, starting a long struggle for European freedom. Despite German forces’ rapid advance across Western Europe, the Allies, including the Soviet Union after Germany betrayed them, formed a strong coalition. After Pearl Harbor, the US entered the war, strengthening this alliance and stopping Axis expansion. The invasion of Poland and declarations of war set the stage for the largest war in history, showing global alliances and the collective effort needed for Allied victory.
What happened in Poland at the start of WWII?
Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, starting World War II, which lasted until 1945. This aggressive move led Britain and France to declare war on Germany on September 3, globalizing a regional conflict. Poland was the site of the first battles and showed Nazi Germany’s aggressive expansionist policies to reshape Europe.
After the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, what happened?
World War II ended when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed on August 6 and 9, 1945. These bombings killed hundreds of thousands and radiated many. The destruction led to Japan’s unconditional surrender on September 2, 1945, ending the war. In addition, these events started the nuclear age, raising ethical and moral questions about atomic weapons and their long-term effects on humanity.
What changed post-war society after the Allies won?
The Allies defeated Nazi Germany and the Axis Powers in May 1945, changing geopolitics. The US and USSR, emerging superpowers, fought the Cold War after WWII. The victory established the UN to prevent wars and promote peace. Decolonization and border redrawing, especially in Europe and Asia, changed world politics after the war.
How did the Russo-Finnish War affect Soviet military strategy?
The Russo-Finnish Winter War of November 1939–March 1940 shaped Soviet military strategy. Heavy Soviet casualties in Finland showed the Red Army’s weaknesses despite being outnumbered. War forced Soviet military reforms, improving organization, tactics, and technology. World War II’s Eastern Front victories over Nazi Germany relied on Soviet military reforms from the Russo-Finnish War.

Impressive first impression! The GrenerPower 100Ah battery is incredibly lightweight and powerful, making it ideal for my trolling motor. I often run the motor at full throttle, giving this battery a real workout. After my initial purchase, I decided to get another for backup, and it hasn't disappointed. Unlike the heavy lead acid batteries I used before, these weigh just 22 lbs each, a significant weight savings. They allow me to go further and faster, and I'm hoping they'll last as long as claimed. So far, no complaints—I highly recommend them!
Everything's going smoothly! I'm really pleased with my decision. The delivery was quick, and the packaging was excellent. Upon arrival, the battery had about a 30% charge per federal regulations. Thankfully, my solar panels charged it up in just a couple of hours, and it's been performing admirably since then. Even my little dorm fridge didn't make a dent in it! I'm confident that the 200Ah+ battery will handle a lot more in my RV conversion project.
I'm impressed by the lightweight design of this LiFePO4 battery for camping. It charges easily and retains its charge efficiently, making it perfect for outdoor trips. While not suitable for heavy-duty tasks like jump-starting cars, its compact size and light weight ensure a longer battery life compared to lead acid batteries. I keep one in my pickup for emergencies and camping. It pairs well with my car's solar panel, maintaining a steady charge. Tested under various loads, it performs flawlessly. Overall, I'm quite satisfied and would buy from this manufacturer again.

When interfaces were first introduced, I thought I recalled seeing a demo where there was a menu option that allowed users to create an "Interface for Actor", but I never saw it during development. In fact, I even recall someone asking about it in another post, but nothing ever being resolved. This option would not only add the interface file, but place it within a lvlib file that also contains a virtual folder for actor messages.
Well, a couple of us at Zyah Solutions were poking around recently and, low and behold, the code for such an option actually ships with LabVIEW, but for whatever reason, the GProvider INI file to enable it doesn't. Well, I created an INI file to enable it and it seems to work as expected so I'm sharing it here in case other people would find this useful.
Just put the attached file in "[LabVIEW Path]\resource\Framework\Providers\GProviders" (LV2020+ only), restart LabVIEW, and you should see the following option if you right-click your target:
I'll probably put this in a VIP later to make it easier to install, but figured this is useful just as an INI file for now.
Enjoy and let me know if anyone finds any issues with it.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You've got to be kidding me.
I don't recall who wrote the G code (I think Allen), but I knew it existed. At some point I must have patched my personal system and just forgotten to submit the config file for the rest of you. And then I just never had cause to use it for any work projects.
Have you told NI so they can enable it in the newer versions?
I don't recall who wrote the G code (I think Allen),
I don't recall writing that code, either. Interfaces came long after I stopped working on the provider. OTOH, it would have been stupid easy to write - just copy over much of what I wrote for adding actors.
Maybe the old girl wrote it herself? You did tell me once that the compiler had long since passed the point where it was smarter than the people who worked on it...
FYI to all, LabVIEW R&D has added this feature to their backlog. Thanks to Casey posting the INI file, it should be relatively low-hanging fruit to be added to a future LabVIEW release... the main work left to be done is to create some tests for the feature.
I haven't heard of any work being done on this. But I left LabVIEW R&D four years ago, so I'm not up to speed on the latest feature scheduling and prioritization.

- CRITICAL REVIEWS
- WINEMAKER NOTES
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
2014 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon, California
Vineyard Manager Michael Wolf:
The 2014 rains came late in the season, providing enough soil moisture for the vines to grow well. It was a warm vintage, overall, but without damaging heat spikes, which allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and completely. There was a bit of time to catch our collective breath after the August 24th earthquake, as the fruit continued to ripen evenly, in spite of the chaos. Harvest was accomplished over an extended period of time, beginning on 9/19 and wrapping up on 10/13. Thanks to the temperate weather, there was no sense of urgency about harvest timing or logistics. 2014 yields were near historical norms, with the younger blocks of
the J.J. Cohn vineyard coming into their own, and performing very well. Throughout the property, maturity was very uniform, and overall fruit quality was exceptional.
Winemaker Celia Welch writes of the 2014 Scarecrow:
The consistency of this vintage during the growing season has, not surprisingly, manifested itself in the overall impression of the finished wine. Lovely cassis, black plum, violets, dried blackberries on the vine, baking spices, chestnut, and just a hint of fresh earth interconnect in the very forward aromas of this unmistakably Rutherford Cabernet. On the palate, the entry is balanced and elegant, polished but with a clear density, a flavor core that adds gravitas and suggests ageability. The finish is of wild plums, black cherry jam, and a hint of warm vanilla.
The 2014 growing season saw some long-awaited relief from an epic California drought, giving us less rainfall than normal but enough to give the vines a bit more energy during Spring. The summer season was relatively mild, while the critical ripening months of September and October saw nearly perfect conditions, with cool nights and warm, dry days. The blocks for Scarecrow were hand-harvested between September 19 and October 13, 2014. A total of 1500 cases were bottled.


title: Buzek on the 55th anniversary of the 1956 hungarian revolution

text:
2011. 10. 24.
"I pay tribute to the people who fought for freedom in Hungary in 1956. As we mark this national day, we must also pay homage to the victims – the 2500 Hungarians who died; the over 25 000 people imprisoned; and the 200 000 people who emigrated, many of them never to return.
It is often said that to understand the present one has to know the past. The history of Central and Eastern Europe was often a difficult one. We experienced war, invasions, political persecutions and the loss of our freedom. We all shared this history.
But there are moments that must always be remembered because they are part of a greater story, that of the road to democracy, freedom, and a re-united continent.
The Hungarian revolution of 1956 is such a moment. For two weeks the people of Hungary had a national government which had representatives from several political parties.
A first in our region after the Second World War. The Hungarian people showed the world that freedom, democracy; human rights are not abstract ideas but real values that you were willing to fight for. Too often we take these values for granted, until the day they are denied.
By remembering the past, we also safeguard the future.
In 1956 Hungary was unfortunately alone. Seven years ago, Hungary and other free Central and Eastern European nations joined the European Union. Now it is up to us, this generation of Europeans from both sides of the old iron curtain to decide how the 21st century will be in a reunited Europe and around the world."

Because here at Meadows Event Center, we’re committed to the success of your wedding. So, grab a chair, relax, and let’s answer some crucial first-timer wedding questions.
Who Does the Planning?
This is a decision that you, as a couple has to make for yourselves. While there is nothing unusual about a wedding being entirely planned by the bride, the fact remains that the groom could also be the one who runs the show, or both can handle equal parts of the planning.
Who Gives the Wedding Thank You Speech?
Traditionally, the groom was the one who delivered a wedding speech on behalf of the bride. However, it does not have to be the same nowadays. You can both decide who is excellent at speeches and have them do the thank you speech on behalf of you both. You could even go full-on cheesy and give the speech together.
Do We Need Groomsmen and Bridesmaids?
The majority of weddings use this as an opportunity to appreciate their friends and family during their wedding. Just remember that your groomsmen and bridesmaids don’t just stand next to you during the wedding, they should also provide support and assistance leading up to your big day. The short answer is, however, no. It is not compulsory to have them!
What Are Wedding Favors?
Favors are the small gifts given by the newlyweds to their wedding guests. They could be anything that is given to guests on behalf of the newlyweds. From pieces of the wedding cake and photo frames to seedlings or bags of sweets. It is not compulsory, but it’s a great way to appreciate your guests for attending and reminding them of that day.

title: Whispers of the algorithm decoding tiktoks viral mystery machine

text:
TikTok, the social media platform that has taken the world by storm, is often seen as a viral mystery machine. Its algorithmic whisperings have been a hot topic of discussion among users and experts alike. The unique blend of creativity and technology that TikTok provides has made it an irresistible lure for millions around the globe.
The magic behind TikTok’s success lies in its mysterious algorithm. It’s an enigmatic piece of artificial intelligence that decides what content goes viral and what doesn’t. This AI-powered recommendation system is unlike any other social media platform’s algorithms because it learns from your interactions to serve you more personalized content.
This learning process begins with every swipe, like, share, or even how long you watch a video. All these user activities are processed by tiktok volgers kopen‘s algorithm to understand user preferences better and deliver highly tailored content right on their feeds.
Understanding this intricate algorithm can seem challenging due to its dynamic nature; however, some key aspects can help decode its functioning. Firstly, the initial popularity of posts plays a crucial role in determining their virality potential. Essentially, if a post gathers high engagement rates immediately after being published, it signals the algorithm about its potential virality.
Furthermore, another critical factor is relevance. The algorithm takes into account not only what users engage with but also where they’re located geographically or demographically when suggesting new content—making each user experience unique and personalized.
While there are concerns about privacy issues related to such extensive data collection methods used by TikTok’s algorithm – there is no denying that this approach has transformed how we consume online content today.
Moreover, it’s not just about individual users; businesses too have started decoding these whispers of TikTok’s viral mystery machine for marketing purposes. They use insights derived from understanding trends and patterns within this complex digital ecosystem to create engaging ad campaigns aimed at reaching wider audiences effectively.
Despite debates surrounding data privacy and security on platforms like TikTok, the allure of this viral mystery machine is undeniable. Its unique algorithm has revolutionized content consumption by providing a personalized experience to each user. It’s not just about mindless scrolling anymore; it’s about discovering new content that aligns with your interests and preferences.
In conclusion, TikTok’s mysterious yet powerful algorithm continues to baffle many while simultaneously drawing them in with its promise of virality. Its whispers may be complex and elusive, but they are undeniably shaping the future of digital interaction and engagement in ways we could never have imagined before.
