Designed to Teach
Real-world Case Studies at key content areas throughout the textbook invite students into the world of physics by asking them a question and showing them how using physics answers it.
Scaffolded Art and equations provide a visual narrative in the form of word bubbles that clearly break down important physics topics.
Worked Examples encourage strategic thinking by mirroring the approach that scientists take to solve problems by developing reasoning and analysis skills with their Set Up, Solve, and Reflect problem-solving strategy.
Now Work notes at the end of each Worked Example connect students to related problems in The Takeaway, the end-of-section review.
Powerful AP® Practice & Concept Review
AP® Exam Tips, written by a former Chief Reader, offer hints and tips on how to succeed on the AP® Physics 1 Exam.
AP® Skill Building problems appear in each Takeaway
AP® Extending Skills question appears in the end-of-chapter content, providing students with an opportunity to extend the AP® skills they've been developing throughout the chapter to a real-world situation (designed to be done as group work or as an individual challenge problem)
AP® Practice Problems at the end of each chapter allow students to practice solving the types of problems that they'll see on the AP® Physics 1 exam.
Two full-length AP® Physics 1 Practice Exams found at the end of Chapters 9 and 15.
The Takeaway ends each section by outlining the important concepts students need to "take away" to ensure they understand the content. It is then followed by a set of end-of-practice problems presented in three tiers.
The Takeaway Practice problems (tier one) test student's knowledge of The Takeaway's summary points by putting the Takeaway concepts into practice. Easy cross references direct students back to the corresponding worked example if they need a little extra support when solving problems.
AP® Skill Building problems (tier two) include bolded verbs that correspond to terms and skills that students will need to demonstrate to be successful on the AP® exam.
AP® Skills in Action (tier three) problems ask students to put the skills they've been building into practice.
Chapter Review Questions test students on the concepts they've been learning throughout the chapter
The Visual Chapter Summary highlights key concepts and connects them to relevant equations or figures from the chapter. This is a great study tool.
Study with less Friction
You Will Learn To boxes at the start of each chapter highlight chapter learning goals that provide students with the scope of study. The same goals align with What Did You Learn? boxes that sit after the last section and tie each learning goal to the relevant chapter section, worked example, and end-of-section practice problem.
Equation in Words boxes translate complex equation topics into everyday language that all students can understand.
Need to Review? boxes provide on-the-spot notes that tell students where to find concepts to review or to study.
Watch Out! boxes draw students' attention to important ideas that they need to remember as they read through the chapters.
The Glossary/Glosario gives students a handy guide to look up definitions of bolded terms from throughout the textbook. The side-by-side glosario is available for students who would benefit from Spanish-language support for their reading.
A Math Tutorial supports students who might need additional math review and support.
Answers to Odd Problems provide students with the opportunity to check their answers as they work through the practice problems.

6-6 Apparent weight and what it means to be "weightless"
Case Study: Energy
Chapter 7 Energy and Conservation I: Foundations
7-1 The ideas of work and energy are intimately related, this relationship is based on a conservation principle
7-2 The work done on a moving object by a constant force depends on the magnitude and direction of the force
7-3 Newton's second law applied to an object lets us determine a formula for kinetic energy and state the work-energy theorem for an object
7-4 The work-energy theorem can simplify many physics problems
7-5 The work-energy theorem is also valid for curved paths and varying forces, and, with a little more information, systems as well as objects
7-6 Potential energy is energy related to reversible changes in a system's configuration
Chapter 8 Energy and Conservation II: Applications and Extensions
8-1 Total energy is always conserved, but it is only constant for a closed, isolated system
8-2 Choosing systems and considering multiple interactions, including nonconservative ones, is required in solving physics problems
8-3 Energy conservation is an important tool for solving a wide variety of problems
8-4 Power is the rate at which energy is transferred into or out of a system or converted within a system
8-5 Gravitational potential energy is much more general, and profound, than our approximation for near the surface of Earth

10-1 Rotation is an important and ubiquitous kind of motion
10-2 An extended object's rotational kinetic energy is related to its angular velocity and how its mass is distributed
10-3 An extended object's rotational inertia depends on its mass distribution and the choice of rotation axis
10-4 Conservation of mechanical energy also applies to rotating extended objects
10-5 The equations for rotational kinematics are almost identical to those for linear motion
10-6 Torque is to rotation as force is to translation
10-7 The techniques used for solving problems with Newton's second law also apply to rotation problems
Chapter 11 Rotational motion II
11-1 Angular momentum and our next conservation law, conservation of angular momentum
11-2 Angular momentum is always conserved; it is constant when there is zero net torque exerted on a system
11-3 Rotational quantities such as torque are actually vectors
11-4 Newton's law of universal gravitation along with gravitational potential energy and angular momentum explains Kepler's laws for the orbits of planets and satellites
Case Study: Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 12 Oscillations and Simple Harmonic Motion
12-1 We live in a world of oscillations
12-2 Oscillations are caused by the interplay between a restoring force and inertia

13-2 Mechanical waves can be transverse, longitudinal, or a combination of these; their speed depends on the properties of the medium
13-3 Sinusoidal waves are related to simple harmonic motion
13-4 Waves pass through each other without changing shape; while they overlap, the net displacement is just the sum of that of the individual waves
13-5 A standing wave is caused by interference between waves traveling in opposite directions
13-6 Wind instruments, the human voice, and the human ear use standing sound waves
13-7 Two sound waves of slightly different frequencies produce beats
13-8 The frequency of a sound depends on the motion of the source and the listener
Case Study: Electric Charge and Electric Force
Chapter 14 Electrostatics: Electric Charge and Force
14-1 Electric forces and electric charges are all around you—and within you
14-2 Matter contains positive and negative electric charge, and charge is always conserved

14-4 Coulomb's law describes the force between charged objects
14-5 Electric forces are the true cause of many other forces you experience
Case Study: DC Circuits
Chapter 15 DC Circuits
15-1 Life on Earth and our technological society are only possible because of charges in motion
15-2 Electric current equals the rate at which charge flows
15-3 The resistance to current flow through an object depends on the object's resistivity and dimensions
15-4 Electric Energy (modified from 17-1 and 2, to just talk in terms of forces, not fields).
15-5 Electric potential difference between two points equals the change in electric potential energy per unit charge moved between those two points
15-6 Conservation of energy and conservation of charge make it possible to analyze electric circuits
15-7 The rate at which energy is produced or taken in by a circuit element depends on current and electric potential difference
Gay Stewart received her PhD in physics from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, 1994. She accepted a faculty position at University of Arkansas in 1994, where she focused on three interrelated issues: improving the introductory sequence to better prepare students to succeed in science and engineering degrees, improving the preparation of physics majors for the variety of career options open to physicists, and the preparation of future faculty, for both high school and professoriate. The undergraduate program saw dramatic improvement, with a 10-fold increase in number of graduates. She led UA's efforts as one of the first six primary program institutions in the Physics Teacher Education Coalition, PhysTEC, which now has over 300 members. UA produces approximately one percent of the high school physics teachers with physics degrees nationally. Gay first received NSF support for her work in 1995. As a teaching assistant mentor, she developed a preparation program that grew into one of four sites for the NSF/AAPT "Shaping the Preparation of Future Science Faculty." She was co-PI of an NSF GK-12 project that placed fellows in middle school mathematics and science classrooms. The results were so favorable that helping math and science teachers to work together was a component of the $7.3M NSF-MSP. Through the Noyce program she received $1,050,000 for support of students and master physics teachers. She chaired the College Board's Science Academic Advisory Committee, co-chaired the Advanced Placement Physics Redesign commission, responsible for AP Physics 1 and 2, and the AP Physics 2 Development Committee. In 2014, Gay transitioned to WVU, where she is Eberly Professor of STEM Education and the founding director of the WVU Center for Excellence in STEM Education. The transdisciplinary Center works with faculty across STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and related disciplines at WVU, partner programs, and the WV Department of Education to enhance STEM education and STEM education opportunities in West Virginia, grades K-20. She is former president of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and former member of the board of directors, council of representatives and the Committee on Education of the American Physical Society (APS). She is a Fellow of both the AAPT and the APS.

The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach is the fourth busiest aquarium in the United States despite the fact that it isn't nearly as large when measured by the capacity of its exhibits. If you go there, you will understand why.
The Aquarium of the Pacific is home to more than 11,000 animals, with a visitor-friendly layout and exhibit explanations.
A general admission ticket gets you in the front door where you can view the exhibits, watch the animals being fed, or see a film.
You can also check out a few of their great touch pools - where you can touch jellyfish (the non-stinging kind), sharks (the non-biting kind), stingrays and lots of other sea creatures.
Besides all the goings-on inside, the aquarium also sponsors harbor tours and sea life cruises in the ocean just outside their back door. Allow at least a couple of hours for your visit, but you will most likely be there longer than that.
Tours and special activities include behind-the-scenes tours and animal encounters. And if you're a certified diver, you can even go into an aquarium exhibit. All of them come with an extra fee, of course.
To find out what other visitors think of the aquarium, you can read its reviews on Yelp. For reviews that are more tourist-focused, try TripAdvisor where visitors give it an outstanding rating of 4.5 out of 5.
To dodge crowds, go early in the day on weekends or after 2:00 p.m. on weekdays during the school year.
The aquarium has a small cafe, a Starbucks, two restaurants, and a Jamba Juice, all of which are rather pricey — you may want to bring a picnic and have it outside instead.
Download the aquarium's visitor app to get a map, species identifier, and daily schedule. It's an environmentally friendly way to visit. You can also download free gallery tours from their website.
You may want hand sanitizer to tidy up with if anyone is going to be touching the sea creatures. If you don't have sanitizer, there are wash stations near the exhibits.
Take lotion to counteract the drying effects of salt water on the skin, but keep it away from the animals. Instead, put it on after you're done.
A change of clothing for the kids may be welcome. At some of the interactive water features, they may get seriously excited (and wet).
Take water bottles. While you'll see water is everywhere at the aquarium, but a bottle of it is overpriced. Save money by filling up your own at the stations near the restrooms.
Water is everywhere at the aquarium, but a bottle of drinking water is overpriced. Save money by packing an empty bottle and filling up at the stations near the restrooms.
Bring hats and sunscreen. You won't be inside all the time. There is also a lot to do in outdoor areas.
There are so many discounts and offers for the aquarium that no one should ever have to pay full price.
AAA members can get a discount at the aquarium ticket window, local grocery stores sometimes sell discounted tickets, and members of some groups can get in for a lower (or no) cost. Check for current discount offers.
If you're also going to the Los Angeles Zoo within the same year, you can buy a combo ticket that saves 15% or more.
You may be able to get discounted tickets through Goldstar. Find out what Goldstar is and how to use it.
If you're visiting several other attractions in the LA area during a short period of time, the Go Los Angeles Card can be a big money-saver. Use this handy guide to find out all you need to know about it.
And if you're visiting the Queen Mary, there's a package for that, too - and a free shuttle that travels between the two attractions.
Here's a way to save money and avoid the crowds at the same time. On summer Sunday evenings, the aquarium stays open later than usual, and if you go late enough, everyone gets in for the kids' admission.
You'll find a ton of things for kids to do at the Aquarium of the Pacific and they seem to have more touching pools than any similar facility in the state.
If your kid really loves animals, an animal encounter might be just the thing for a special occasion. Participants must be at least 10 years old and accompanied by an adult if they're under 16. For specifics that may include minimum heights and what to wear, check their website.
The aquarium also hosts family overnight trips.
The Aquarium of the Pacific is on the waterfront in Downtown Long Beach at 100 Aquarium Way. You'll find a parking structure for the Aquarium on the water side of Shoreline Drive between Chestnut Place and Aquarium Way.
It is open almost every day of the year, and they charge an admission fee. Check their current hours and prices at their website and also check the tips for getting discounts above.
You get a discount on parking if you show your aquarium ticket on the way out of the garage.
You can also get directions, hours and event schedules on the Aquarium of the Pacific website.

In some funny news out of the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers superstar safety Troy Polamalu had his hair insured for, yep, $1 Million Dollars. Polamalu is that guy you see in various commercials with a very long flowing mane of hair. Fittingly, he is the spokesman for the shampoo brand Head & Shoulders, and they want to make sure that nothing bad happens to that hair. It is insured by Lloyd's of London, and they wouldn't release what would constitute having to pay that fee. Would someone have to shave his head in a prank? That sounds like a bad move anyway. Probably shouldn't mess with the hair of one of the fiercest defensive players in the league.
The USA had a very tough match-up against, of all teams, Brazil. Brazil has put together a nice international team over the past few years. Their center, Tiago Splitter, will actually play for the San Antonio Spurs this year. They've left him in Brazil, but he's really come along, and is expected to be pretty good in the NBA. Team USA struggled in the first half, and Brazil even had a 3-point lead heading into the half. The game stayed close all the way to the very end where Brazil had a chance to tie with just 10 seconds left. But, they simply couldn't get a shot to fall and the US held on for the win. Kevin Durant led all scorers with 27 points. USA 70, Brazil 68.
Finally, in the soccer world, there was a lot of drama circling Team USA head coach Bob Bradley after the World Cup. He started off hot, but, in the end, the US didn't exactly play so well when it counted against Ghana. Plus, US has ambitions to get to the next level in world soccer competition. They want to be a top team. So many were curious if US Soccer was going to commit to Bob Bradley going forward. There was a rumor that the US was going to bring in a top foreign coach to really whip them into amazing shape, but in the end, Team US decided to renew Bob Bradley for four more years. Hopefully, he's able to get Team USA to the next stratosphere.


Holiday gift-giving can be expensive, so the health-conscious may wish to exercise skepticism about some potential purchases with dubious or unexpected consequence.
So-called "tall" or "standing" desks. They were supposed to be a response to growing research about workers' heightened health risks from sitting all day long. But studies show that standing while working with a computer isn't as beneficial as some advocates may have claimed. That's because it isn't exercise or movement — which was supposed to the point of promoting healthier workplace practices, such as getting up from the desk and walking around every few minutes rather than becoming sedentary on the job. Studies, in fact, show that workers who must stand all day suffer health harms, like varicose veins and more. Some employees with posture issues may benefit some from standing and not scrunching themselves up while sitting at a desk. For most of the rest of us, it does matter to get up, exercise, and move. A fancy desk isn't necessary for that, right?
Big hospitals can't exploit patients and violate their privacy by throwing open their facilities to Hollywood for television shows that plump institutions' reputations. And academic medical centers need to think twice before letting their leaders strike cozy deals to enrich a choice few insiders by hawking important diagnostic information collected with best intentions by medical staff from patients for decades.
The roster of hospitals dealing with black-eyes from recent negative news stories about their activities includes well-regarded institutions in Boston and New York — Boston Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Federal regulators busted the Boston hospitals with fines settled for just under $1 million for "inviting film crews on premises to film an ABC television network documentary series, without first obtaining authorization from patients," reported the U.S. Health and Human Services' department's Office of Civil Rights.
An innovation in medical treatment — which was supposed to offer more affordable, accessible, and even convenient care — instead may be getting swamped with safety problems that long have plagued hospitals and academic medical centers.
[Our] investigation found that surgery centers operate under such an uneven mix of rules across U.S. states that fatalities or serious injuries can result in no warning to government officials, much less to potential patients. The gaps in oversight enable centers hit with federal regulators' toughest sanctions to keep operating, according to interviews, a review of hundreds of pages of court filings and government records obtained under open records laws. No rule stops a doctor exiled by a hospital for misconduct from opening a surgery center down the street.

Our new HP Indigo 6900 is coming next month! This machine is a massive upgrade to our digital department. We will be able to help more people with more high-quality digital labels than ever. This machine provides the most sustainable digital label platform. Here are a few of the highlights.
Read This First – ORDER EARLY!
While we are upgrading the press and getting factory operator training, we will be down for two weeks in December 2018. Please order early if you need labels before the Holidays.
At nearly 100 feet per minute, this press rivals traditional print speed. No setup and virtually no waste mean faster delivery for customers.
Besides the faster speed, the press is more efficient. This is a web press with labels delivered in rolls, but the images are transferred to the material in pages (called 'frames' in HP lingo). This press has more than double the page size of the previous machine. Maximum label size is now 12″x 38″. More importantly, we can fit more labels of any size into this frame size which means less waste, faster printing, and better results for customers.
Rather than just measuring ink density during the run, this press actually sees color and corrects itself on the fly! With 'Continuous Color Calibration' the machine constantly makes micro adjustments during the print run to keep the tightest color in the industry. This also improves run to run color consistency. Repeat orders with exact color matching are easier than ever.
The inks on the press are formed by a mixture of pigment (the consistency of toothpaste) and imaging oil to carry the color. Previously, this imaging oil was flushed from the press and discarded. Now, the press recycles its own oil! Rather than doing an 'oil change' periodically, only a small amount of oil is added to the system as needed.
For the first time, true specialty inks are available on a digital press. This adds to our very wide 7C color gamut to add distinctive color to your label.
Want a unique number, barcode, or QR code on each label? We can do that faster and more accurately than ever. With a huge computing power upgrade, variable data jobs that previously took hours (and cost more) are now instantaneous.
Built on the latest 2018 technology, this press will be supported for many years. With parts, service, and training readily available, you have a reliable, consistent source for all your labels.


JNN 21 Mar 2014 Moscow : Pro-Russian politicians and activists in Moldova's breakaway Trans-Dniester region have asked the Russian parliament to draft a law that would allow their territory to join Russia.
The Trans-Dniestrian appeal comes as Moscow moves towards absorbing Crimea into the Russian Federation. Ukraine, the EU and US say that move is illegal.
Russian loyalists dominate Trans-Dniester, with support from Moscow.
The region split from Moldova in a war in 1991-92, as the USSR was collapsing.
Moldova's President Nicolae Timofti said in a news briefing on Tuesday that any decision by Moscow to accept Trans-Dniester "would be a step in the wrong direction".
In a September 2006 referendum, unrecognised by Moldova and the international community, the region reasserted its demand for independence.
Irina Kubanskikh, spokeswoman for the Trans-Dniester parliament, told Itar-Tass news agency that the region's public bodies had "appealed to the Russian Federation leadership to examine the possibility of extending to Trans-Dniester the legislation, currently under discussion in the State Duma, on granting Russian citizenship and admitting new subjects into Russia".
A pro-Kremlin party, A Just Russia, has drafted legislation to make it easier for new territories to join Russia. The party told the Vedomosti newspaper that the text was now being revised, in order not to delay the rapid accession of Crimea to Russia.
The Duma – Russia's lower house – and the Federation Council (upper house) are dominated by supporters of President Vladimir Putin.
Vedomosti reports that the Trans-Dniester appeal to Russia also warns about a possible further deterioration if Moldova signs an association agreement with the EU.
Moldova's leaders plan to do so. The crisis in neighbouring Ukraine erupted after former President Viktor Yanukovych was expected – and then refused – to sign such an agreement.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has expressed support for the recent referendum in Crimea.
"If until now Crimea had been joined to Ukraine because of Soviet laws that were taken without asking the people, then now the people (of Crimea) have decided to rectify this error," Gorbachev told the Interfax news agency on Monday.
Gorbachev described the referendum as a "success that responded to the expectations of Crimeans" and urged the world to respect the results.
The former Soviet leader also commented on the unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union against some Russian officials.
Gorbachev said the will of the people in the region should be welcomed rather than punished.
Obama's order freezes any assets of the officials that are inside the United States or "hereafter come within the United States." The order also bans the individuals from travelling to the United States.
The sanctions came after nearly 97 percent of voters in Crimea voted on March 16 to join Russia.

Harvard, after spending $3.7M on academic journals, pushes for open research
By Dennis Carter, Assistant Editor
"Everything's in flux, markets are rearranging," Jonathan Rochkind, a senior programmer and analyst for Johns Hopkins University, wrote in a blog called Bibliographic Wilderness. "But I think I sense a general swing of the pendulum back to per-use fees; interestingly sometimes this is what libraries want and sometimes it's what libraries resist, and the same for publishers and aggregators."
Rochkind said a "downside of metered pricing"—Harvard's recommended pay-per-use system—is that it could lead to a model that limits the number of research queries a student could submit in a university's library collection.
That could turn college students away from respected academic journals and reliable search systems and toward the internet's search giant.
"Google isn't metered, and scholars and patrons can continue to abandon us for Google, even if it's doesn't provide them with everything we could," he wrote, "if it's easier to use, if it's not metered, and we are."
Duke University in 2010 signed on to the Compact for Open Access Publishing Equity (COPE), an effort first introduced by Stuart Shieber, a computer science professor at Harvard University and director of Harvard's Office for Scholarly Communication.
Nine U.S. universities have signed the pledge to "recognize the crucial value of the services provided by scholarly publishers" and underwrite "reasonable publication charges" that could make it feasible for faculty members to submit research articles to the open-access program.
The American schools that have signed COPE are Harvard, Duke, Cornell, Columbia, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of California Berkeley, Dartmouth College, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and the University of Michigan.
Duke, like other universities that have signed the compact, established a fund that will cover the costs of publishing academic research, according to the university library's web site. Duke will dole out up to $3,000 a year to cover scholars' article processing fees, and unused funds cannot roll over to the next year.
Other campuses, such as MIT, limit reimbursements to $1,000 per article, regardless of the number of researchers credited with the work, according to an MIT announcement.

Zero Hunger/Waste Hero: Why Salt Lake City is recognized nationally as a leader in sustainability
It's no secret that Salt Lake City has a green streak with 38 electric vehicle plug-ins and a massive bike path and green bike program. But did you know the city buildings all run off solar power and that numerous community gardens and food rescue programs prevent food waste and hunger? Meet this Zero Hunger Hero.
By: The PLACE
It's no secret Salt Lake City has a green streak: It boasts 38 electric vehicle plugins for the public and a massive bike path network (along with a partnership with SLC Green Bikes).
But did you know all the city buildings run off of solar power, and that numerous community gardens and food rescue programs are cutting hunger and food waste? It's all done on purpose - a huge breadth of footprint- and hunger-reducing practices - and it's getting noticed on a national level.
"We're considered to have one of the best sustainability departments in the nation," said Vicki Bennett, with Salt Lake City.
Vicki was implementing ideas for sustainability even before there was an official department for it, but she said eco-friendly practices have been important to Salt Lake City residents for a long time.
"This is the fourth mayor I've worked for, and every one of them have made sustainability on the top of their list because if you don't have a healthy place for your people to live, you don't have anything," she said.
So even though Vicki's career started in a chemistry lab, it bubbled over into public service in 2001, first with consulting, then as the director of the Salt Lake City Sustainability Department, where she remains today.
"City governments are the closest to the people," Vicki said, recalling the satisfaction of helping residents solve everyday problems.
"People have different needs," she said. "Some people need to figure out how to get healthy food on the table every night. Some people need to know where to plug their electric vehicle in. Every one of those [needs] are important."
In addition to increasing access to healthy food and green energy, the city also prides itself on waste collection. Their program incorporates a big recycling and composting program, that helps them divert at least 38-percent of waste from the landfill, Vicki said.
Though the city does a lot to help residents become more green, and end food waste, Vicki says every individual has to do their part.
"But they need help learning what that is," she said, stressing the importance of the high amount of community education and outreach her department does.
Because of the SLC Sustainability Department's work to end hunger in the community and increase green energy, Aubriana Martindale with Smith's Corporate Affairs presented Vicki with an award.
"You've really led the sustainability efforts for the city to protect our beautiful city, so we would like to honor you and the Salt Lake City sustainability department as the Zero Hunger Hero for the month of February in partnership with Fox13," Aubriana said.
You can see the whole, impressive list of the department's accomplishments here.


The new P5 coin will be released in circulation ahead of other new coins to honor Bonifacio's 164th birthday on Thursday, November 30, as well as his 120th death anniversary on May 10 this year.
The BSP said that the rest of the denominations of the NGC Coin Series will be released for circulation in January 2018.
Widely regarded as one of the Philippines' greatest heroes, Bonifacio was a fearless leader who founded the Katipunan, the secret society that ignited the flames of the revolution which finally led to the declaration of Philippine independence in 1898. Bonifacio died on 10 May 1897.
Considered as the Father of the Philippine revolution, Bonifacio's portrait is etched on the obverse of the coin, along with the markings, "ANDRES BONIFACIO", "5-PISO" and "REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS" in bold font and in microprints, and the mint mark.
The reverse side features the Tayabak, a Philippine endemic plant that climbs tall forest trees, the BSP logo and "Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas" in microprint. The 5-piso NGC coin is 25-millimeters in diameter and weighs approximately 7.4 grams.

SUMMARY: Seven weeks in, connecting quickly with readers, a smoother user experience, and a "cleaner" publishing platform are just some of the benefits Billy Penn is enjoying with Facebook Instant Articles.
As the first local publisher on Facebook's Instant Articles, we're excited to join large-scale news organisations and publishers like The New York Times, the Washington Post, Vox, Slate, and many more who are embracing this trend.
We're Billy Penn though — a very small team covering a very big city, with a much smaller staff and a strategy that doesn't rely on a large number of stories published every day. We're also working with a product team of two people: one product manager and one developer.
So our challenge to implement Instant Articles was actually fairly large: it required bending all our development resources to this new publishing platform, and pushing off a few projects we already had in the works.
We decided to do this when we learned that Facebook was partnering with publishers to make it easier for users to find news.
When our news site has done well, Facebook has been a huge driver. It allowed people to start conversations around our articles, introduced us to a much broader audience than we'd be able to otherwise reach, and an ongoing goal of ours is to make consuming news easier for readers.
This goal is reflected in everything from our editorial strategy to our mobile-first design.
But the experience of getting to an external site from Facebook can be, from a user's perspective, not good.
Instant Articles, for those who haven't seen them in action, are Facebook's way of optimising a publisher's content when it's accessed within Facebook's mobile app on Android and iPhone. A small lightning bolt in the upper right-hand corner of the story's featured image indicates that it's an Instant Article.
The advantage of this, for publishers, is that the article loads … instantly!
Instant Articles engages users with full-length articles, without ever leaving the Facebook app.
For us, Instant Articles was actually a blessing. We launched Billy Penn in October 2014, but hadn't really systematically cleaned up the way we handled many publishing tasks, from standardising the way our bylines displayed to the way we handled embedded media from places like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter.
The Instant Articles requirements wound up making those elements display much more cleanly and easily on BillyPenn.com, and we found opportunities along the way to streamline some of our back-end tasks.
We also standardised the way we produce photos, upgrading their size and more consistently choosing horizontal images to feature on our stories. The majority of our audience visits us via mobile phones, so that's a better experience for everyone.
There's a significant time investment to ramp up Instant Articles. I think Facebook tells potential publishers it should take about a month of development work, but that much of this time is spent waiting for your site's feed to be reviewed on their end.
It took around six weeks for Billy Penn to make it through. We're still working with developers at Facebook to iron out a few post-launch kinks.
We're already a fairly quick-loading site, especially among news sites in Philadelphia, and we weren't looking to beat any one particular site to the platform. So Instant Articles doesn't necessarily give us an edge in that regard.
However, we were happy to work more easily on something where so many people spend so much time, and our small staff size allows us to experiment with tools like this one more easily than other newsrooms can.
It's too early to tell how well we'll wind up doing on Instant Articles. We have seen a boost some days, in mobile audience and in shares, which is consistent with what other publishers have experienced. But as with anything else, in order for your content to be shared, it needs to be worth sharing.
So our approach hasn't changed — just the way our news is delivered.

ROSTA anti-vibration mounts type ESL are intended for the absorption of medium and low frequency vibrations and are designed to accept compression, tension and shear loading as well as combined loadings. They can be installed in any desired position and are also ideal for ceiling and wall mounting.
Due to the mechanically secured principle of the anti-vibration mounts type ESL no tearing off is possible. These elements are maintenance-free, insensitive to water and dirt and suitable for temperatures from -40°C to +80°C. The housing and core of the elements up to size 45 are made of light alloy with steel brackets. The housing of size 50 is made of GGG 40. All elements are paint-finished.


Can you find the urban farm in this picture? If not, maybe you haven't got your imagination turned up high enough yet. It's there. At least it is now, and its one of those really crazy and super inspirational stories.
Here's the scenario. You are now the proud owner of a fixer upper house bought at a great price due to repossession. What do you do with the broken down swimming pool in the backyard? Remodeling it is out of the budget, and filling it in is way too expensive too. Doug McClung turned it into not just an indoor garden, but a self-sustaining urban farm complete with animals. Maybe it was his decade of helping customers at Home Depot figure out how to make what they wanted with the available materials that led him down this path.
A lot of brilliant thinking went into putting this together. The startup investment was super reasonable at only $1500. Within a year Doug's brainstorm had cut their grocery bill by 75%. Today, not only does his method of taking care of that old pool provide more food than they can eat or preserve, it has founded a non-profit foundation and fueled a movement within a movement. He keeps improving methods and setups as he goes, adding more growing space and features to his Garden Pool, or GP as he calls it.
I've heard of turning an old pool into a natural swimming pond by adding a remedial bog garden, but this takes being green, living healthier, sustainability and repurposing to a whole new level. With a deep end of 9 feet, the basin provides the perfect aquaponics tank. Being a sunken greenhouse, the space will be cooler during the warm season and warmer in the cold season than if it were on top of the ground. The tilapia tank being even deeper in the ground adds to maintaining better temperatures in any season being insulated by the surrounding earth. They're collecting solar power to generate the needed electricity for systems and other equipment to run. At this point you're probably nodding, this is pretty cool… a unique approach to growing fresh veggies in the backyard sustainably year around. It's much bigger than this.
This little urban farm that sits behind this house in Mesa, Arizona, produces eggs, chicken and milk on top of a really wide variety of fresh produce, not all of which is seasonal thanks to the sheltering insulation of being below ground. There aren't many people growing food in the desert, and most people living around Phoenix where the McClungs live, think it is just about impossible to have a garden in the heat and arid climate. The thermal protection of a sunken greenhouse makes growing year around possible in a hot climate. In a colder climate, there would no doubt need to be more heat source for the winter months, but you're much farther ahead in having passive heat covered already this way.
The pool turned micro farm is a closed system and is all organic. How it works is best explained by the image and video below.
No, the goats are not part of the closed system, but they provide milk and you can walk them on a leash.
You can learn a lot more about becoming self-sustaining without leaving the city and everything that goes into building and maintaining a backyard urban farm from an old pool at www.GardenPool.org. With an appointment you can tour their operation. As a non-profit organization, the McClungs and some dedicated early adopters are holding classes and workshops on this unique ecosystem that can feed more than a family of 4 every day of the year.

Formula 1 Hot News
Ferrari advantage could be even bigger in China – Bottas
Charles Leclerc – the Ferrari was fast, but at what cost? Leclerc lost a cylinder
(GMM) Lewis Hamilton may have won in Bahrain, but he says Mercedes has serious work to do ahead of round three in China in a fortnight.
Immediately after winning on Sunday, the reigning world champion got out of his car to commiserate with Charles Leclerc, who should have won from pole.
"He's got a beautiful, bright future ahead of him, so this will only make him stronger," Hamilton said.
Hamilton's boss agrees.
"Leclerc is very, very impressive," he said.
"Many other drivers would have reacted in a much more controversial way, but he has a good character and is very humble. He is also very fast," Wolff smiled.
Indeed, Ferrari's Leclerc was cruising to his first win on Sunday when an engine problem dropped him to third.
The first sign is that it was a problem with one of the six cylinders.
"Even if we don't quite understand it, what happened is an isolated case," said team boss Mattia Binotto.
"It's not that we are pushing the engine too hard or something."
Ferrari's turnaround between Australia and Bahrain, though, is startling.
"If they have this straight line speed in the next race then we'll be watching them disappear," said Hamilton.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff denied Binotto's claim that the difference could be accounted for in terms of downforce.
"You're talking about a tenth with less drag. This is sheer engine power," he said.
And Wolff said Mercedes will be hard pressed to fix that gap in just two weeks.
"Whether it's chassis or engine, at our level we are talking about small steps. So it will be difficult to close such a big gap," he said.
Valtteri Bottas commented: "The straights are even longer in China. So Ferrari's advantage could be even bigger."

As much as I am not a fan of the cold, I do however always look forward to warm fall and winter foods. Squash is my JAM! I could eat a different squash everyday. Butternut, spaghetti, delicata, acorn, yum, yum, yum!
If you like butternut squash soup, then guess what?! You'll LOVE this recipe!
It's kind of like a soup, on pasta. Okay maybe that sounds weird. You'll just have to trust me that this is delicious!
Preheat oven to 370F. Toss squash, onion, garlic in some avocado oil with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Lay veggies out evenly on a baking sheet. Place in oven for approximately 45 minutes or until veggies are soft and lightly browned.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Place veggies in blender with cashew milk, water, nutritional yeast, avocado oil, sage, salt & pepper. Process until smooth and creamy. Taste test and add more nutritional yeast, sage, salt & pepper if desired.
If you are adding spinach for some greenery, heat a drizzle of avocado oil in a pan. Add spinach and let wilt down. Add sauce and pasta, stir. Serve hot! Otherwise, reheat sauce and toss in pasta.
Serve with protein source of choice, if not using bean or quinoa based pasta.

There's the Rub: Making Art and Scholarship Bang: A Conversation between Xandra Ibarra and Juana María Rodríguez
Lecture | February 15 | 12-2 p.m. | Durham Studio Theater (Dwinelle Hall)
Speakers/Performers: Xandra Ibarra; Juana María Rodríguez
Sponsor: Center for the Study of Sexual Culture
Durham Studio Theater, UC Berkeley
Join us for a presentation of work by artist Xandra Ibarra and a dialogue between Ibarra and Professor Juana María Rodríguez about the nexus of art, performance and scholarship. Xandra Ibarra is an Oakland-based performance artist that uses hyperbolized modes of racialization and sexualization to test the boundaries between her own body and coloniality, compulsory whiteness, and Mexicanidad. Her practice integrates performance, sex acts, and burlesque with video, photography, and objects. Juana María Rodríguez is Professor of Ethnic Studies and Core faculty in Performance Studies at UC Berkeley. Professor Rodríguez is the author of two books, Queer Latinidad: Identity Practices, Discursive Spaces (NYU Press, 2003) and Sexual Futures, Queer Gestures, and Other Latina Longings (NYU Press 2014).

Of all the characters in the Ju-On series, Kiyomi Kawai is the most compelling, twisted, and tragic. Who is Kiyomi Kawai in Ju On? What happened to Kiyomi Kawai in season 1 of Netflix's The Grudge (2020)? Who plays Kiyomi Kawai? All that and more, below.
And, there's a bonus at the end of the article — Since Kiyomi Kawai, her mother, and Yudai all share an intimate connection, I'll tell you about Yudai Katsuragi (played by Koki Osamura) and Kiyomi Kawai's mom, Mina Kawai (played by Izumi Matsuoka) as well!
This article contains MINOR SPOILERS ONLY. I won't ruin anything important, but if you want to stay pure, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Other Ju On: Origins articles from Dailysack.com:
Ju On Characters Part 1 (Haruka and Yasuo)
Ju On Characters Part 2 (Tetsuya and his Mom)
Ju On Series Characters: Who is Kiyomi Kawai?
Kiyomi Kawai: Occupation
Student, mother, prostitute (at different times throughout Ju On Season 1)
Who is Kiyomi Kawai in the Ju-On Series?
Need a refresher? In 1988 (first episode), Kiyomi Kawai is a transfer student. Her giggling idiot classmates invite her to sneak into an abandoned "cat mansion," but what really happens in that house is much worse than any simple breaking and entering.
Ever since that fateful moment, Kiyomi Kawai's life is one horrific tragedy after another. Her life story is like a train wreck, so twisted and broken that we can't look away from it. Even if not for that supernatural "cat mansion," Kiyomi Kawai's life would have been a horror story anyway.
I'm not going to give away the plot of Ju On; I'd like to promote my website here as a spoiler-free (or spoiler-lite) zone. So in that case, I'm going to leave Kiyomi Kawai's backstory there, and just say again that her story is so fucked up you can't even look away.
Kiyomi Kawai is Played by Ririka (里々佳)
Ririka (里々佳) is one of the most amazing actors in Ju On. She has a huge role as Kiyomi Kawai, and Ririka gives a tragic, heart-wrenching performance.
But she's been great in other stuff as well. Now I'm going to share with you one of my favorite Ririka films.
By the way, Ririka's IG is here, and her Twitter is here.
Ririka is in this twisted short film called "The Dolls with Attitude" (below). She stars as ERI, a beautiful young lady whose face is permanently plastered in a creepy smile. The ~5 minute film almost plays like a Black Mirror episode, if not for the fact that there's no Sci-Fi quality.
Unlike Black Mirror, instead of the dystopia being in the outside world, it's in ERI's inner world. "The Dolls With Attitude," written by Naoya Yamaguchi and starring Ririka, is a sick work of art. The IMDB page also gives it an 8.3/10.
But don't take my word for it. Go ahead and see for yourself. Here is the short film in its entirety:
"The Dolls with Attitude" also kind of reminds me of one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes, "The Masks." Below is the famous ending to that episode! (Although I don't like spoilers, this episode is from 1964, so I think it's fair game!)
Other Ju-On Series Characters Relevant to Kiyomi Kawai
Ju On Characters: Yudai Katsuragi
Student, construction worker, junkie (at different points throughout Ju On: Origins Season 1)
Yudai's backstory
A high schooler from a nearby town looking for cheap thrills at anyone's expense, Yudai is the ultimate scum-of-the-earth, lowlife, sociopathic piece of shit. When his life turns to flames, we find it hard to feel bad for him.
Ju-On Series Cast: Koki Osamura as Yudai Katsuragi
Yudai Katsuragi is played by Koki Osamura. I found a horror film that Koki Osamura played a minor role in. Honestly, it looks kind of stupid, but I'm embedding it anyway in case you want to check it out.
So the preview below is for "Jinrou gêmu: Kureijî fokkusu." You'd have to buy it on Youtube, or you can just check out the preview.
(By the way, I'm NOT making any money trying to sell rentals or anything for this movie. I'm just sharing the video because it's part of my research.)
Mina Kawai (Kiyomi Kawai's Mom)
Let's be honest: Kiyomi Kawai never really had a chance in life. Her dad is gone, and her mom is completely insane. I mean, this crazy bitch acts as though she "sacrificed my own body to save you," at the last school…but when we see Mina Kawai fuck Kiyomi's teacher — who honestly seems like a decent enough guy, tragically enough — if we believed Mina's story before, all bets are off now.
Kiyomi Kawai's mom is a twisted sociopath.
Izumi Matsuoka as Mina Kawai
Izumi Matsuoka's earliest film was in 2014 (source: IMDB). She's mostly acted in TV series, but she was in a few feature length films, including 2017's The Third Murder. As a murder mystery, it's not exactly my cup of tea, but I found an in-depth review of the film here. Below is the trailer — see if you can spot her!

This week's haiku is inspired by Haiku Bob's travels to Gothenburg to see Bruce Springsteen live in concert for the first time since 1985.
Within hours of Collingwood's dour victory over the dire Dockers, HB boarded a train to the deep south of Sweden to catch up with fellow Knacker and Bruce fanatic, PJ Flynn, for a night of revelry and jollification.
It was a marathon show, becoming the second longest Springsteen concert in history. It went for a tick under 4 hours, but to HB and Flynny, it felt like 2 – almost the exact opposite of the game. The crowd of 62,676 was more than 3 times the size of Friday night's MCG crowd. It was a joyful, uplifting and inspired evening. In many ways, despite the Pies' much needed win, the two events were like chalk and cheese.
In the following match report, HB tries to merge the two events, using 9 song titles (of the 38 the Boss played that night) as a bridge.
Wonderful HB. Gee I hope you and Flynny had a seat if the concert lasted 4 hours.
High Hopes for next season?
Sounds like a great gig. The best concerts I have seen have been Bruce shows, Sydney in 85, Melbourne in 2013 and then even better in 2014.
Brilliant HB. I'm thoroughly envious. Looked at Bruce's European tour schedule and fantasised about spending a month traversing the continent to catch shows in different countries.
Work and the superannuation balance said not this year. At 66 how many more big tours with full concerts can he have in him? Must be the fittest most driven guy on the planet. Love everything about Bruce.

If you are interested in the technology behind Cakes Alive! then you've come to the right place!
Cakes Alive! uses augmented reality to bring your birthday cakes alive!
The Cakes Alive app uses image recognition to trigger 3D animations that appear on your device screen. This results in an "augmented reality" that makes it look like the 3D animations are there in the room with you!
Australian Bakery Exclusive
Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses is the first bakery in Australia to integrate augmented reality technology with the humble birthday cake. Birthdays have always been magic, but now Cakes Alive! makes the unreal, "real".
How do we create your Cakes Alive! cakes?
We add specific decorations to your cake that, when viewed through the Cakes Alive! app, trigger a variety of 3D birthday animations. This really does make it appear that your cake has come to life!
The cutting-edge technology on the Cakes Alive! app uses image recognition to augment an animation over what people are viewing through their device (such as the wizard in the video below).
It all starts with Augmented Reality…
Augmented Reality has its roots in the 20th century. Morton Heilig, the "Father of Virtual Reality," patented the Sensorama Stimulator, which he called an "experience theatre," on Aug. 28, 1962. Over time, the idea of using technology to create a layer over the real world has been honed and refined and put in our palms, thanks to the proliferation of smartphones.
What exactly is Augmented Reality?
In short, it's a way to use technology to redefine space, and it places a virtual layer over the world with geographic specificity ensuring a good fit.
Using Augmented Reality (AR) technology and a purpose-designed camera-integrated interface system helps you experience your birthday cakes in a really unique way.
Cakes Alive! really is unreal
Check out the video below — in real life, these kids are holding what appears to be a pretty awesome cake.
But when seen through a Cakes Alive! viewer, the Cake comes to life, serving as a platform for a really cool cake that comes alive with wizards & balloons! It's not that you're imagining things — AR uses computer animation to bring objects to life.
