Fracture Model Calibration for Conventional and Unconventional Rocks
When: Feb 2, 2021 from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM (MT)
Associated with Salt Lake City Section
Fracture growth modeling has seen two dramatic changes over the last two decades. First, the completions industry found a way to economically stimulate unconventional rocks. Second, fracture modelers "got their eyes" through commercial development and proliferation of direct fracture diagnostics such as micro-seismic fracture mapping.
Direct observations from fracture mapping enabled calibration of fracture models, resulting in a "roller coaster ride" of changes to frac modelers' understanding of how fractures grow. To explain these observations, modelers incorporated new physical mechanisms – simultaneous growth of multiple fractures, fracture tip effects and composite layering effects – into their models.
What I would like members to take away from this lecture is that model calibration has become a vital part of the fracture modeling process, creating ever more realistic fracture growth predictions. Calibration has made fracture models more valuable as tools to evaluate economic tradeoffs, making fracture models more practical tools than ever before.
Dr. Leen Weijers is VP of Engineering at Liberty Oilfield Services and served as its Business Manager at Liberty's founding. Leen worked at Pinnacle Technologies from 1995 to 2011, where he oversaw development of a commercial fracture growth simulator, FracproPT. Leen has authored dozens of publications, and completed his doctoral research at the Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.

It's that time of year again when I think about two things – Christmas presents that I want and 2017 Flickr Challenges.
If you don't know much about Flickr, then here are links to three posts that I wrote last year about Why I Love Flickr, My Favourite Flickr Groups and Flickr Do's and Don'ts.
Today I'm going to point you to two great Flickr groups that are well worth joining which will help you with your photography and get you involved with the Flickr community.
The first is 52 Weeks : the 2017 Edition. This is a group that I've been a member of since 2012 and I will be one of the moderators again in 2017.
The concept is simple – each week a new theme is posted and it's your challenge to go out in that week and take a new photo that fits the theme. Some times the themes are creative – Colour, Movie Poster, Bad Hair Day – and some times they are more technical – Shallow depth of field, Cyanotype, Motion. And following the theme isn't compulsory either, the real challenge is to get you thinking about and taking a photo every week.
The other group that I really love is 117 Pictures in 2017 and again I've been a member of this group since 2012. The idea here is that there are 117 specific things to take a picture of during 2017. You can do them in any order, and many are open to creative interpretation so it's not quite a daunting as it seems. There are usually a few date-specific items that have to be taken within a day or two of the stated day – this year we had Cow Appreciation Day as one of the topics.
What makes this challenge easier is that you can pick the topics in any order, and if you shoot regularly you'll be able to get a lot of the items done without too much effort. What makes this hard is that 117 pictures is more than two per week on average. At the moment I've completed 97 of the 116 pictures for this year. So I've got 19 left in 19 days!
Go on . . . sign up . . . you know you want to . . .


one year experience excel work of luxor company. gradute ( [login to view URL]) from delhi univercity ( D.U) . All finacial work , garhpwork , product sales and puchase , employe salary , tax Etc .
to be very frank i will definitely do this job according to you. i would like to tell you that plz give me this work i will do it this work within time.

Favorite country songs of the 1980s, Part 2
7 Comments Posted by Paul W. Dennis on April 17, 2012
The 1980s were a mixed bag, with the early 1980s producing some of the lamest country music ever recorded, as the Urban Cowboy movie wreaked havoc on the genre. Fortunately, there was still good country music being released. The first flowering of the late 1980s "New Traditionalist" movement arrived in 1981 with the first hits of Ricky Skaggs and George Strait, but they remained outliers until 1986 as far as good new artists were concerned. The latter part of the decade, however, produced some truly excellent country music with the 1986 arrival of Randy Travis and company.
This list is meant neither to be a comprehensive list of great country songs from the 1980s, nor any sort of ranking of records. It's just a list of some songs that I liked and remember. See if you recall any of these records.
"Walk On By"– Donna Fargo
A nice cover of the 1961 Leroy Van Dyke hit, by the time this record was released Donna had already pulled back on her career due to being stricken with Multiple Sclerosis in 1979. Released in March 1980, the song reached #43. Donna is still alive and you can find out more about her at her website www.donnafargo.com
"Crying Over You" – Rosie Flores
Rosie's never had much chart success but this self-proclaimed 'Rockabilly Filly' is a popular concert draw and a dynamic live performer. This song was her career chart highwater reaching #51 in 1987.
"Just In Case " – The Forester Sisters
Katie, Kim, June and Christie had a five year run of top ten hits from 1985 through 1989 with fourteen straight top ten records, including this song, their second of five number one records . Released in 1985, this topped the charts in early 1986.
"Crazy Over You"– Foster & Lloyd
Songwriters Radney Foster and Bill Lloyd joined forces as a duo in 1987. This was their first and biggest chart record reaching #4 in the summer of 1987.
"Always Have, Always Will" – Janie Frickie (or Janie Fricke)
This 1986 #1 was her ninth (and last) #1 record. This bluesy number was an excellent record coming after a long string of successful but insubstantial fluff. A former session singer, Janie's career hit high gear during the 1980s, a decade which saw her tally 26 chart records with 17 top ten records and eight #1s.
"Beer Joint Fever" – Allen Frizzell
A younger brother of both Lefty and David Frizzell, Allen today writes and sings predominantly Christian music, although he will perform a Lefty Frizzell tribute (omitting Lefty's rowdier songs). This song charted in 1981 – the follow up was titled "She's Livin' It Up (and I'm Drinkin' 'Em Down)", neither of them songs Allen would dream of performing today.
"I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home" – David Frizzell
The early 1980s were David Frizzell's commercial peak, both as a solo artist and as part of a duet with Shelly West. This unforgettable 1982 novelty was David's sole #1 record, although my personal David Frizzell favorites were the follow up "Lost My Baby Blues" and his 1999 recording of "Murder On Music Row".
"You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma" – David Frizzell & Shelly West
A huge record, this song came from the Clint Eastwood film Any Which Way You Can and topped the charts in early 1981
"Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer To You)" – Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers
After a dominant streak from 1975 in which seven songs reached #1 on one or more of the major charts, Larry and his brothers hit a rough patch in which their singles charted, but few reached the top ten. Finally in late 1983 this song reached #1, and kicked off a brief resurgence fueled by a large infusion of western swing. The two records that followed this record ("Denver" and "The Lady Takes The Cowboy Every Time") would have made Bob Wills proud.
"You and I" – Crystal Gayle & Eddie Rabbitt
Crytal Gayle had a run of thirty-four top ten records that ran from 1974 to 1987. I'm not that big a Crystal Gayle fan but I really liked her 1982 duet with Eddie Rabbitt which reached #1 country / #7 pop.
"Somebody's Knocking" – Terri Gibbs
Released in 1980, this song peaked at #8 (#13 pop / #3 AC) in early 1989. Blind since birth, Terri really wasn't a country singer and soon headed to gospel music . This was her biggest hit, one of four top twenty records.
"Sweet Sensuous Sensations" – Don Gibson
Not a big hit, this was Don's next-to-last chart record, reaching a peak of #42 in April 1980. Don's chart career ran from 1956-1981. His influence as a songwriter is still felt today.
"Oklahoma Borderline" – Vince Gill
It took Vince a while for his solo career to take off after leaving Pure Prairie League. This song reached #9 in early 1986 and was his second top ten recording. The really big hits would start in 1990 with "When I Call Your Name".
"A Headache Tomorrow (Or A Heartache Tonight)" – Mickey Gilley
Mickey Gilley was a second cousin to Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart as his piano playing amply demonstrates. This song reached #1 in 1981. Mickey's long string of hits consisted of some original material (such as this song and "Doo-Wah Days") and some covers of pop hits such as his next record "You Don't Know Me" (a cover of a Ray Charles hit covering an Eddy Arnold hit) and prior hits "True Love Ways" and "Stand By Me".
"White Freight Liner Blues" – Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Jimmie Dale Gilmore looks like a renegade hippie from the sixties and sounds like one of my honky-tonk specialist from the fifties. He's never had much chart success (this song reached # 72 in 1988) but his albums are terrific and his vocals solid country through and through. Probably the most underrated performer of my generation.
"If I Could Only Dance With You" – Jim Glaser
A part of the famous trio Tompall and The Glaser Brothers, Jim's voice was midway in range between brothers Chuck and Tompall with significant overlap on both ends. Also, Jim was part of the vocal trio on Marty Robbin's classic hit "El Paso" and wrote the pop hit "Woman, Woman" (#4 pop hit for Gary Puckett and The Union Gap). Jim released a number of chart records under his own name form 1968-1977, but his real success began after Tompall & The Glaser Brothers split up (again) in 1982 and Jim signed with Noble Vision Records. After the first three records for Noble Vision went top thirty, this 1984 single reached #10. The follow up "You're Getting To Me Again" went to #1 but then Noble Vision started having financial problems. Jim would subsequently sign with MCA in 1985 but the momentum had been lost (not to mention that by then Jim was already 47 years old).
"Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)" – Tompall & The Glaser Brothers
Tompall and The Glaser Brothers were one of the most impressive live singing groups to ever take the stage. Unfortunately, their stage show did not translate into recording success. The group was together from 1959 until about 1974, recording many fine records but only one top ten hit in "Rings" which reached Record World's #1 slot in 1971. The group briefly reunited in 1980 and had their career record with this Kris Kristofferson song which reached #2 Billboard / #1 Cashbox in 1980.
"Today My World Slipped Away" – Vern Gosdin
Recorded for the small AMI label, this gem reached #10 in early 1983, just as AMI was going down the toilet. It's hard for me to pick out just one favorite Vern Gosdin song, but this one would be in my top three. From here Vern would go to another small label Compleat where he would have his biggest hit in 1987's "I Can Tell By The Way You Dance (You're Gonna Love Me Tonight").
"Diamonds In The Dust"- Mark Gray
Mark Gray and Vince Gill were the two young male singers most highly touted to make it big in the early 1980s. Both were associated with bands that had some success (Mark was a member of Exile for a few years, Vince a member of Pure Prairie League). Then Nashville took a traditionalist turn leaving Gray, not as versatile a performer as Vince Gill, stranded. Still, Gray almost made it. This song was Gray's third top ten record, reaching #9 in late 1984. The follow up "Sometimes When We Touch", a nice duet with Tammy Wynette reached #6. Then came the Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam, et al floodwaters of 1986.
"When A Man Loves A Woman" – Jack Grayson
Nice 1981 cover of a #1 pop hit for Percy Sledge in 1966. This song peaked at #18 in early 1982. This was Grayson's only top twenty recording out of thirteen charted records.
"The Jukebox Never Plays Home Sweet Home" – Jack Greene
This 1983 single barely cracked the top 100 for Jack but it was a pretty good recording that probably would have been a big hit had Jack recorded it a dozen years earlier. This was Jack's thirty-third chart record. He would have three more before fading off the charts for good. His 1966 single was #1 for seven weeks in 1966-1967 and was the CMA Single of The Year in 1967. Jack also took home the Male Vocalist honors for 1967. Jack is now 82 years old and still performs, but mostly on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.
"I.O.U."– Lee Greenwood
This single reached #6 in 1983, his fourth consecutive top ten single, and still my favorite Lee Greenwood song. Lee was the first artist to record "Wind Beneath My Wings" and had it planned as the second single from the I.O.U album. Gary Morris dashed into the studio and got his version recorded and released before "I.O.U." finished its chart run. Lee' version was better (and better than the pop version that came out in 1989).
"Lone Star State of Mind" – Nanci Griffith
Nanci is a fine songwriter/poet having written many fine songs. As a singer, she's not much. This song reached #36 in 1987, her biggest chart hit of the 1980s. She did a nice recording of "Love At The Five & Dime", but even that song was better in a cover version, as recorded by Kathy Mattea.
"Still The Same" – Bonnie Guitar
Nine years after her last chart entry and twenty years after her last top forty recording , country music's 'Renaissance Woman' snuck onto the charts in 1989 with a nice version of a Bob Dylan song.
"Trains Make Me Lonesome"– Marty Haggard
Marty's career almost ended before it started when he picked up a hitch hiker who shot him and left him for dead. A long recovery followed with an extended period of recovery. This song reached #57 in 1988 for the soon to be defunct MTM label. Written by Paul Overstreet and Thom Schuyler, this song was recorded by a number of artists including George Strait on his 1992 album Holding My Own. Marty's version is better and would have been a big hit had it been released in 1958 rather than 1988.
"A Better Love Next Time – Merle Haggard
This was Merle's 100th chart single reaching #4 in 1989. What else is there to say?
"Song of The South" – Tom T. Hall & Earl Scruggs
Tom T. Hall's days as a hit maker were largely over by 1982 and Earl Scruggs never was a hit maker – he was of far greater importance than that. These two music masters combined for a wonderful album titled The Storyteller and The Banjo Man in 1982 from which emerged this single. Alabama would have a big hit with this song a few years later but the Alabama version lacks the personality and charm of this rendition.
"She Says" – George Hamilton V
The only chart record for the son of George Hamilton IV, this tune reached #75 in early 1988.
"There's Still A Lot of Love In San Antone" – Connie Hanson with Darrell McCall
A cover of Darrell's 1974 hit, this version peaked at # 64 in early 1983.
"After The Last Goodbye " – Gus Hardin
This 1983 recording was the only solo top ten for the smoky voiced Ms. Hardin. A longtime favorite in Tulsa, Gus broke through with a major label contract (RCA) and charted eight solo singles and two duets. Released in 1984, her duet with Earl Thomas Conley "All Tangled Up In Love" peaked at #8 in early 1985. Her 1985 duet with David Loggins "Just As Long As I Have You" reached #72.
"I'm Moving On " – Emmylou Harris
Emmylou had 26 top ten recordings between 1975 and 1988. This 1983 live cover of Hank Snow's 1950 hit (in fact, the biggest chart hit in the history of country music) reached #5. During the 1980s, most of Emmylou's best recordings were duets – "That Loving You Feelin' Again" (with Roy Orbison) and "If I Needed You" (with Don Williams) come readily to mind, but there were more.
"Sure Thing" – Freddie Hart
After a hugely successful first half of the 1970s, Freddie hits got progressively smaller. By 1979 Freddie had been dropped by Capitol and signed by Sunbird, the same label that launched Earl Thomas Conley. The label failed to re-launch Freddie's career but did provide a few good recordings, including this song, which reached #15 in 1980 and would prove to be Freddie's last top twenty hit.
"Key Largo" – Bertie Higgins
Just when it seemed that the 'Gulf & Western' subgenre had been strip mined of hits by Jimmy Buffett, along comes this nostalgic hit which became a #8 pop hit in 1982 (topped out at #50 on the country chart).
"Whiskey, If You Were A Woman" – Highway 101
Highway 101 exploded onto the country music scene in January 1987 running off a string of ten consecutive top tens through early 1990. This one is my personal favorite with Paulette Carlson's voice seemingly tailor made for the song, which reached #2 in 1987. Typical story – Carlson left the band in late 1990 seeking solo stardom and the band never recovered its momentum (plus Carlson did not succeed as a solo act). I was torn between this song and one of the group's #1 hits "Somewhere Tonight".
"Jones On The Jukebox" – Becky Hobbs
The inability of the Hobbs to break through at radio has always bugged me. Other than a duet with Moe Bandy ("Let's Get Over Them Together" – #10 in 1983), Ms Hobbs was unable to break the top thirty. The closest she got was this song, which peaked at #31 in 1988.
"Texas Ida Red" – David Houston
David's 60th (and next to last) chart record, this recording peaked at #69 on the small Excelsior label in 1981. This was a pretty good western swing record. Houston would have one more chart record in 1989. His 1966 hit "Almost Persuaded" was (according to Billboard) the biggest chart record of the last fifty years, spending nine weeks at #1.
"All American Redneck" – Randy Howard
#84 in 1983 – what more need I say.
"Til You And Your Lover Are Lovers Again" – Engelbert Humperdinck
Engelbert is one of the truly great vocalists of my generation. His greatest decade was the 1960s when he made international huge pop hits out of country classics such as "Release Me", "There Goes My Everything" and "Am I That Easy To Forget" as well as covering other country songs on his albums. This song peaked at #39 in 1983.
"Oh Girl" – Con Hunley
This cover of a Chi-Lites hit from 1972 reached #12 in 1982 and featured the Oak Ridge Boys on backing vocals. Con's voice was too smoky and too distinctive to have achieved much success during the early 1980s but this was a fine recording, even if not very country. Con's biggest hit came the year before when "What's New With You" peaked at #11.
"Talk To Me Loneliness" – Cindy Hurt
This song reached #35 in 1982. Her biggest hit was "Don't Come Knocking" which topped out at #28 earlier in the year. Cindy charted seven records between 1981 and 1983, then disappeared.

Album Review: The Wronglers with Jimmie Dale Gilmore – 'Heirloom Music'
1 Comment Posted by Occasional Hope on June 23, 2011
Veteran Texan singer-songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore has teamed up with the fabulously named Wronglers for a look back into the roots of country music. This is a convincing reconstruction of the acoustic string band music which was to grow into country music. The Wronglers' Heidi Clare and Colleen Browne (who play fiddle and bass respectively) add harmony vocals throughout; the talented Heidi was also responsible for all the arrangements.
Jimmie Dale's distinctive voice, with its echoes of Willie Nelson, works well on songs like the plaintive Johnny Bond classic 'I Wonder Where You Are Tonight'. A pained version of the Bob Wills classic 'Time Changes Everything' is a real highlight, and my favorite track is a lovely, tender take on the Carter Family's 'I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes'. Country music pioneer Charlie Poole originally recorded 'Leavin' Home', the story of Frankie and Johnny, back in 1926. It has a sprightly feel belying the dark lyrics of this murder ballad. Jimmie Davis's 'Columbus Stockade Blues' is another authentic-sounding song from the roaring '20s. The fanciful Depression-era 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' is rather charming; it is performed as a duet with the Wronglers' frontman and banjo player, Warren Hellman, a retired financier who is the promoter of California's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. I also enjoyed 'Foggy Mountain Top', a folk song which A.P. Carter found and copyrighted.
Bluegrass gets a nod with Flatt and Scruggs' 'If I Should Wander Back', which is a bit dull, the oddly jubilant 'Footprints In The Snow', and an enjoyably sedate version of Bill Monroe's 'Uncle Pen'. The latter's namechecking of older songs seems perfectly appropriate on this heritage-infused album. The traditional blues number 'Deep Ellum Blues' harks back to yet another source of American roots music. Less effective for me are the groups' versions of Doc Watson's 'Way Downtown' and the Delmore Brothers' 'Brown's Ferry Blues', while the traditional 'In The Pines' drags a bit.
The very elaborate packaging and artwork with the band dressed up in 19th century outfits adds to the mood of historical recreation. Perhaps this dressing up rather than letting the music speak for itself makes it more redolent of modern reenactors of historic battles than the real thing, but on the whole I am enjoying listening to this and having a bygone era evoked.

Challenge: Rise!
The secret no one told me about the toddler years
Published by Kaleigh Christensen on March 19, 2019
Everyone warned me about the toddler years. The "terrible twos." The tantrums. The tears. The testing of boundaries. All the dramatics.
And right now, we're in it. We have officially entered the toddler years. It's fair to say that I have been thoroughly warned in every which way of the tantrums and the fits. It's the demanding, independent, but also so needy, sometimes defiant, tantrum stage. You name it, it's happening in this house. Most have told me this is the most "trying" stage yet.
But let me tell you a little secret about this "trying stage" we're in right now. This stage...this "terrible two" stage? It's my favorite so far. It's your daddy's favorite, too.
Because it's THIS stage where you first said the words, "lub you too, mommy."
It's this stage when you found the fun in wrestling daddy to the ground in the living room, laughter radiating throughout the entire house.
It's this stage where you reach for mommy's hand while watching cartoons, then turn towards her and give her a sweet smile.
It's this stage where you grab daddy's face and pull his entire body in for a kiss right on the lips.
It's this stage where you sing at the top of your lungs in your car seat to all of your favorite songs.
It's this stage where you tell everyone you see at the store "happy birthday!"...because you're just so excited for your own birthday party.
Now don't get me wrong, this stage can be so hard. The days can feel long, the tears can seem endless. But the secret no one told me about the toddler years, is how much I could absolutely love it. Nobody warned me about the {beauty} within the terrible twos.
Sweet boy, daddy and I lay in bed at night and talk about how much we want to freeze you... freeze time. We want to freeze your sweet voice, your "still so chubby" thighs, your relentless love, your rambunctious personality. We even want to freeze your tantrums and your tears.
Because soon enough, you're going to grow up and you won't cry over mommy taking 2 minutes to use the restroom. You won't throw a fit over daddy grabbing "the wrong cup" for you at supper time.
Instead, your heart will face grown up hurts. You'll experience some of life's hardest trials on your own. The days of crying over spilled milk will be gone. So instead of wishing the hard days away, wishing for time to speed up...I don't want to even for a second wish these toddler years away. Because these toddler years, these terrible twos....They're my favorite.

Chicago Cubs: Cardinals' loss offers some consolation in a rough year
By Brian Johnston
(Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) /
The Chicago Cubs suffered through a late-season slide, capped by a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Their rival's loss in the NLCS offers a little consolation.
There's nothing the Washington Nationals or any other team can do to fully take away the sting of the season that the Chicago Cubs wrapped up a few weeks ago. Yet when the Nationals knocked out the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series on Tuesday night – sweeping them, no less – I'm not going to pretend that I didn't smile just a little bit.
I became a Chicago Cubs fan at nine years old, in 1994, and in 1996 I learned early on in my fandom that I didn't like the Cardinals. That year, the two teams met in St. Louis late in the year, with the Cardinals in first and the Cubs five games out. The Cardinals put their rivals from the Windy City in their place, sweeping all three games and putting out any flicker of hope the Cubs could come back and win the division.

Projecting the Chicago Cubs bullpen to open the 2023 season
Cubs fans are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel
Justin Steele has evolved into a frontline starter for the Cubs
The future of first base is murky right now for the Cubs
Over the years, I watched as the Cardinals, almost every year, would make the playoffs over and over while Chicago continued to suffer. Sure, we've had our moments: We finally got our revenge in 2015, when the Cubs beat the Cardinals in the playoffs.
I hadn't yet witnessed the Cubs winning the World Series – none of us had – but when Hector Rondon struck out Stephen Piscotty to wrap up that series, it felt almost like I imagined winning it all would because it ended so much frustration against the Cubs' hated rivals.
Then there was 2016, and while the Cubs didn't have to beat the Cardinals in the playoffs that year, at least the team winning the World Series ended the Cardinals fans' ability to hold the long championship drought over our heads.
Yet those have been the exceptions, and in 2019, after three straight years where Chicago made the playoffs and St. Louis didn't, we saw a return to the way things used to be. It was bad enough the Cardinals essentially ended the Cubs' season by beating them four straight times at Wrigley Field in September. But the fact that they did it in such heartbreaking fashion – every game decided by one run, including two ninth-inning comebacks – made it even worse.
I think I joined many Cubs fans in hoping that the Atlanta Braves could knock out the Cardinals, though thanks to that nightmare ten-run first inning in the deciding Game 5 of the National League Division Series, it didn't happen.
The Cardinals once again defied the odds and defeated a better team. Yet the Redbirds met their match in the Washington Nationals, and I think many of us Cubs fans became Nationals fans, at least this October, after the way they decimated our hated rivals.
Next. Top three likeliest free agent acquisitions this winter. dark
No, seeing the Cardinals lose won't fully make up for such a disappointing year for the Chicago Cubs. Yet at least we can take a little comfort in seeing the team that tormented us yet again get ousted short of reaching the World Series. Hopefully, the Cubs will be able to regain the upper hand in this rivalry in 2020.

Lee Perry is arguably Australia's most talented and in demand voice over artist.
With a long history in the voice over industry, Lee has worked with essentially every advertising agency and recording studio in Australia, with his adaptability and range helping to bring to life any brief a client may have.
His characters are believable and utterly distinct as he proved when he created the voice for Baz Lurhmann's worldwide hit "Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen". Lee's animation credits include Happy Feet (2016) and Happy Feet Two (2011), performing the voice of "Eggbert the Elder" and other additional characters alongside Robin Williams, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Elijah Wood. Lee's other feature film credits include Gods of Egypt (2016), Mad Max: Fury Road (2016) and The Great Gatsby (2012).
Lee's voice is heard on hundreds of advertising campaigns throughout the Asia-Pacific area, and his international style fits perfectly with a wide range of cultures which require a "no accent" performance. Have a listen to Lee's demos and character voices to understand how talented and versatile his voice truly is.
Lee Perry is undoubtedly one of the best voice actors around!
I've worked with Lee for many years in collaboration with some of Australia's finest directors; Baz Luhrmann, George Miller, Alex Proyas; to name a few. Lee is a wonderful actor who has lent his extraordinary voice talents to productions such as "Mad Max: Fury Road", "The Great Gatsby", "Happy Feet" and many more. When I'm approached to recommend an actor to help solve post sound issues, it's Lee Perry that immediately springs to mind.

Q: Kivy: scroll to zoom Is there a way to zoom into an image on a desktop kivy app (e.g. zoom with a mouse scroll-wheel)? It appears to be discussed here: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/issues/3563 but I do not see if there was a work around given.
I began with a static image in my kivy app. I want to add the ability to zoom / pan into the image. I do not want the actual size of the image frame to change, just add zoom/pan functionality, like you might expect from interacting with google maps for example.
Possible Programming Directions
From what I've read, I should be using Scatter(?), and I see that I can manually set the Scatter scale to size up/down the image.
My initial thoughts are that I will have to add a separate widget with a scrollview to contain the scatter layout and that will keep the image frame a consistent size. Then I will need to add an event that dynamically changes the scale value.
The problems

*

*I cannot find the appropriate event to use to change the scale value. the on_motion event seemed promising. My app can update values with a slider, but when I try a similar approach using on_motion, I get AttributeError: motion errors

*I am struggling to create the widget. Most documentation seems to use .add_widget(...) in the python file. Is it possible to do this from the kv file? I imagine this process is similar to screens and the screen manager, but I am struggling to find an approach that works.

*Is there a more straight forward way to do this?
Is there a way I can use on_motion type event in my kv file to adjust this value using the mouse scroll-wheel?
I give a watered down example of the structure of my kivy app - along with what I tried to do to add Scatter. I think I will need to put it into it's own widget to keep the image the same size?
Toy Example
import kivy
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.core.window import Window

kivy.require('1.1.0')

from kivy.app import App

presentation = Builder.load_file("scatter.kv")
class TestApp(App):
    def build(self):
        Window.clearcolor = (1, 1, 1, 1)
        return presentation

    # def foo():
    #    print("You've reached foo")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    TestApp().run()

and
#:kivy 1.10.0
GridLayout:
    cols: 2

    Scatter:
        scale: 5
        # on_motion: root.foo()
        Image :
            source: 'foo.png'
            allow_stretch: True

A: The other answer by @mdoc-2011 has the problem that it doesn't anchor onto the mouse pointer, meaning that it is quite annoying to use, since the content will scroll around a lot. This can be fixed by not using the .scale property and instead directly calling apply_transform:
if touch.is_mouse_scrolling:
    factor = None
    if touch.button == 'scrolldown':
        if self.scale < self.scale_max:
            factor = 1.1
    elif touch.button == 'scrollup':
        if self.scale > self.scale_min:
            factor = 1 / 1.1
    if factor is not None:
        self.apply_transform(Matrix().scale(factor, factor, factor),
                             anchor=touch.pos)

This version also uses the.scale_(min/max) properties, and instead of 1.1 and 0.8 uses 1/1.1 which will make it more intuitive to scroll in an out.

A: To achieve my goal, I used a combination of the information in kivy python3 detect mousewheel, as pointed out ikolim, and the code given here: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/wiki/Draggable-Scalable-Button
To keep my answer brief, here's the minimalistic object that extends Scatter object.
class ResizableDraggablePicture(Scatter):
    def on_touch_down(self, touch):
        # Override Scatter's `on_touch_down` behavior for mouse scroll
        if touch.is_mouse_scrolling:
            if touch.button == 'scrolldown':
                if self.scale < 10:
                    self.scale = self.scale * 1.1
            elif touch.button == 'scrollup':
                if self.scale > 1:
                    self.scale = self.scale * 0.8
        # If some other kind of "touch": Fall back on Scatter's behavior
        else:
            super(ResizableDraggablePicture, self).on_touch_down(touch)

The layout is slightly different and I changed the text on the button, but the functionality of my code can be seen in the following gif:

For anybody wanting to see my entire toy project to adapt for their own purposes, the entire code is on my github: https://github.com/melissadale/Learning-Kivy/tree/master/ZoomPanning
UPDATE my code has been edited to be far more correct from an object-orientated approach, and so I could not reject the edits with a clear conscience. However, when I was first starting with kivy, I would have found this code confusing. If you want to just see the simple version that you can apply directly to verify the relevant, this is my original code:
    if touch.is_mouse_scrolling:
    if touch.button == 'scrolldown':
        print('down')
        ## zoom in
        if self.scale < 10:
            self.scale = self.scale * 1.1

    elif touch.button == 'scrollup':
        ## zoom out
        print('up')
        if self.scale > 1:
            self.scale = self.scale * 0.8

Rowan Honors Fallen Co-Founder With "Lax For Donnie" Tournament
On March 30, 2018 March 30, 2018 By pwoody
It's been almost a decade since Rowan University student Donald Farrell headed out to a convenience store located just off campus, never to return.
It was Homecoming week at Rowan and the sophomore from Boonton, NJ was enjoying a night just hanging out with a few friends. Unbeknownst to them, the very convenience store that Donald and his friends were heading towards was being robbed.
"Donnie" and his friends crossed paths with the robbers as they exited the store. Sadly, they attacked and savagely beat Donnie before fleeing the scene. Donnie passed away the very next day. The assailants were never apprehended.
Donnie was a just 19 at the time, but the sophomore left a lasting impression on the University and the community, by co-founding the Rowans Men's Club Lacrosse Team.
Some eight years later, after hearing the tragic story of the teams co-founder, the 2015 Rowan lacrosse team, with help from the Farrell family, started the Lax For Donnie Tournament as a way to keep Donald's memory and contribution to Rowan alive.
Players listen to Donnie's father Don Farrell before the tournament gets underway.
The initial tournament was a challenge to get off the ground, but thanks to a GoFundMe effort and even an article on Barstool Sports, the tournament was a success. This year's tournament was held this past weekend at Richard Wackar Stadium, and featured 8 teams in total, the most ever in the tourney's short 4 year history.
After posting a 4-0 record in division play, the host Prof's defeated Dickinson 6-2 in the semi-final round, then went on to defeat The College of New Jersey 9-1, to win the Lax for Donnie Championship.
It's fitting that the Prof's would win every game on this day in memory of their co-founder Donnie and hopefully the tournament and memory of the team's co-founder will continue on.
