When was the last time you read a grand statement, accompanied by a large number, and wondered whether it could really be true? Statistics are vital in helping us tell stories – we see them in the papers, on social media, and we hear them used in everyday conversation – and yet we doubt them more than ever.
But numbers – in the right hands – have the power to change the world for the better. Contrary to popular belief, good statistics are not a trick, although they are a kind of magic. Good statistics are not smoke and mirrors; in fact, they help us see more clearly. Good statistics are like a telescope for an astronomer, a microscope for a bacteriologist, or an X-ray for a radiologist. If we are willing to let them, good statistics help us see things about the world around us and about ourselves – both large and small - that we would not be able to see in any other way.
In How to Make the World Add Up, Tim Harford draws on his experience as both an economist and presenter of the BBC's radio show 'More or Less'. He takes us deep into the world of disinformation and obfuscation, bad research and misplaced motivation to find those priceless jewels of data and analysis that make communicating with numbers worthwhile. Harford's characters range from the art forger who conned the Nazis to the stripper who fell in love with the most powerful congressman in Washington, to famous data detectives such as John Maynard Keynes, Daniel Kahneman and Florence Nightingale. He reveals how we can evaluate the claims that surround us with confidence, curiosity and a healthy level of scepticism.
Using ten simple rules for understanding numbers – plus one golden rule – this extraordinarily insightful book shows how if we keep our wits about us, thinking carefully about the way numbers are sourced and presented, we can look around us and see with crystal clarity how the world adds up.

It's Monday Made It time already–and I've linked up with 4th Grade Frolics yet again! Make sure to check out all the great stuff!
The reality of my dwindling days of summer has hit, so I have vowed to chip away at some of those tedious tasks that have to be done before that first day of school. This weekend I started work on my "Travel Folders". I know lots of people have their own versions of folders or binders that they use to move back and forth between home, but I have found that keeping the folders relatively simple is the best approach!
I prefer to use three prong folders . . . binders always seem to take up too much space and end up broken down and battered by the end of the first quarter! I use the three prong folders and then can replace them later in the year if needed–and usually they make it all year! I simply put in two sheet protectors containing 4 key pages of key information.
What do I put in mine? Page one is a contact sheet with my information and our daily schedule. Page two is a list of my homework expectations–including expectations for home reading, suggestions for how to do our word sorts for Words their Way, and our policies about how much time should be spent doing homework.
Page three is a resource page that includes our district website homepage with a link to our library homepage which can get students to all the great websites we have linked for them. This page also has a reminder about internet safety! The final page is a graphic that shows the importance of doing home reading.
The students use this folder to bring all their work home and to bring back notes and other correspondence from home. They also keep their weekly reading logs in them so they are always with them both at school and at home. A few years ago I started making these myself because I wanted every child's to be the same color so I could always say "take out your blue travel folder" and there would never be any mixups. It is one of my few systems that works!
Another project I started working on this weekend was making learning target posters for our first units in reading and writing where we launch the readers and writers workshops. I thought it might be a good idea to have them in poster format and then hang them up as I introduce them. It would be a good first bulletin board–especially since I know I will be referring to them often. So . . . I picked some cool coordinating digital papers . . . selected one of my favorite KG fonts . . . and got to work.
This is where the FAIL comes in.
Yes, that's right. I hit "send" and didn't realize that I was (a) out of ink and (b) printing on labels. FAIL.
At this point, I made the executive decision to abandon ship and finish this project after a run to my favorite store sometime tomorrow. In a nutshell–this weekend was a Monday "Half Made It"!
I hope everyone has a great week–a day of Smartboard training for me and then more work tackling my classroom. Updated photos to come!

Sun sets on McMansions
How economics of building larger homes have changed
The ongoing recession has done the country one good turn; it has — at least for the time being — killed off the McMansion Era.
The decade that brought us those monstrous homes of little architectural distinction in far-flung suburbs had surprisingly begun to unwind as early as 2006, but it took a five-year run of collapsing home prices and rampant foreclosures to kill it off, maybe not forever, but at least for the time being.
"The median-sized home being built today is smaller," reported Paul Bishop, vice president of research for the National Association of Realtors. "And our survey of homebuyers indicates that as well. People buying new homes today tend to purchase slightly smaller homes than homebuyers of even a few years ago."
The ongoing recession has done the country one good turn. It has — at least for the time being — killed off the McMansion Era.
The decade that brought us those monstrous homes of little architectural distinction in far-flung suburbs had surprisingly begun to unwind as early as 2006, but it took a five-year run of collapsing home prices and rampant foreclosures to kill it off. Maybe not forever, but at least for the time being.
NAR's research gets empirical backing from the American Institute of Architects, which does a quarterly survey of home-design trends. One of the questions in its survey is: "Are the homes you are working on in your area getting bigger, smaller, about the same?" Every year since the AIA first added this question to its survey in 2005, a higher share of architects noted homes were getting smaller.
In the 2010 survey, almost 60 percent of the respondents said homes were getting smaller, while the rest reported home sizes were about the same. Virtually none of the responses indicated homes were getting larger.
There were a number of reasons for the McMansion phenomenon, the most apparent being so much cheap money was available.
Why wouldn't an ambitious homebuyer shoot for a bigger home, since the down payment was miniscule in comparison to price and the bank would just as well lend on the bigger home as it would on a smaller one?
Secondly, homes were appreciating so quickly that it was worth the gamble to buy bigger because the appreciation was also amplified.
A close friend of mine got suckered into this play. He and his wife moved into a house not far from where I lived. They stayed there for about five years and then sold, catching a handsome appreciation. The next house was bigger and further out in the suburbs.
They lived in that location for five years, then sold it, catching another big chunk of appreciated value. With their earnings, they bought a huge home in a new development very far out in the suburbs. That's where their luck ran out. The recession hit and the home lost 50 percent of its value.
It wasn't just the consumer pushing for bigger homes. Developers were equally to blame.
"Back in the housing boom, from 2003 through 2006, the way builders were justifying land prices was to build very big homes," explained Steve Cameron, president and founder of Foremost Communities Inc. in Irvine, Calif. "Builders could justify paying high prices for land by doing a pro forma for bigger houses."
Cameron should know what he's talking about — his company had been in the home development biz but it's now a land development and investment company.
"Homebuyers, because the mortgage money was so easy, were saying, 'Geez, why not buy a five- or six-bedroom home even though we don't need it.' It was all kind of nice when it worked."
That's coming to an end because many homebuyers can't qualify for those big mortgages these days, and everyone is looking for what they need as opposed to purchasing their fantasy abode.
Going forward, homebuyers' aspirational desires will adhere more closely to economic realities.
"The economics of building a McMansion (have) changed," said Bishop. "Things like land values and cost of construction relative to what consumers are willing to pay at this point are out of sync. You have to finance the purchase of a home, even a McMansion, and that runs into the difficulties of getting a jumbo mortgage."
The impact of home-value appreciation has been negated by the downturn. Not only have home prices depreciated, but no one believes aggressive appreciation will return to the housing market for at least 10 years, if not longer. That makes the economics of owning a big house formidable.
The cost of furnishing a bigger house, heating and cooling the structure, and even the commutation between it and the place of employment was always imposing, but now there is no longer the appreciation factor that in the past made the situational sacrifice worth it.
"Homeowners feel the days of appreciation are not coming back so they are not going to be purchasing homes just for the sake of investing," said Kermit Baker, chief economist with the American Institute of Architects and a senior research fellow at Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies.
"Homebuyers are purchasing because of how they intend to use the home, on the basis of what they need. They are treating their home more like typical consumer goods rather than investment goods."
Baker added that consumers don't need McMansion-type space, as "they can't afford to heat and cool the space, and given higher energy costs, why bother trying?"
It should be noted, historically, every time there has been a recession, home sizes tended to level off or even scale back. Also, today's numbers are influenced by the higher percentage of first-time buyers, who tend to purchase smaller homes.
"Some 40 percent to 50 percent of home sales are going to first-time buyers," said Bishop. "It's a different market than when the share of homes sold to first-time buyers had fallen to the 30 percent range."
That means there were a lot more trade ups, such as with my friends, than there are now.
Has the trend line to bigger homes has abated for good, or when this cycle turns, will homebuyers go on another McMansion binge?
"The shift to smaller homes could be long term," Baker suggested. "If you look back at what really caused the increase in home size, I'm guessing we're not going to see those factors again."

Japan pledges $30B investment in Africa
Japanese flag
Saying that his country will contribute vigorously to African development, Japan's prime minister announced a $30 billion investment in Africa.
"Japan aspires to be a partner, growing together with Africa," Fumio Kishida told a joint news conference along with African leaders on Sunday after hosting the Eighth Tokyo International Conference on African Development.
He virtually addressed the African nations' summit co-hosted by Senegal and Tunisia in the capital Tunis, a statement by the Japanese premier's office said on Monday.
"Japan contributes strongly to the development of Africa by overcoming challenges in Africa together with Africa. By doing so, Japan learns and grows too. Japan, as a partner, takes an approach which focuses on 'people'," Kishida said.
Over the weekend, Kishida held a virtual meeting with several African leaders where he also discussed his idea "new form of capitalism."
Kishida announced $30 billion as part of Japan's public and private financial contributions to Africa.
The contributions will "focus on investment in people and quality of growth and aim for a resilient and sustainable Africa while solving various problems faced by the African people," he said.
Expressing his expectation of "dynamic growth" in Africa, Kishida said: "It is important for Japan to grow together with Africa, as Africa grows with dynamic power."
"At the same time, it is true that a series of contradictions of the global economy, such as inequality and environmental problems, are concentrated in Africa at this moment," he said.
In view of Russia's war on Ukraine, the Japanese premier said: "We need to urgently deal with issues such as the food crisis caused by Russian aggression against Ukraine and unfair and opaque development finance."

Q: SpriteKit Liquid Threshold Filter Effect I want to create a liquid effect in SpriteKit with Objective-C.
At First I created a white blurred ball texture for the SKSpriteNode.
Currently I am using the CIFilter "CIColorPosterize" as filter for the Threshold effect.
CIFilter *filter = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIColorPosterize"];
[filter setValue:@(2.0) forKey:@"inputLevels"];
[self.scene setFilter:filter];
[self.scene setShouldEnableEffects:YES];

And it looks okay: Like This
But now I want to change the color of the balls with the colorBlendFactor.
ball.color = [UIColor orangeColor];
ball.colorBlendFactor = 1.0;

This looks not correctly for me because the CIFilter manipulates also the blend color, but without filter I haven't the Threshold effect.
Now my question: Is there a way to have the Threshold effect without changing the color?

Q: How to remove cache of browser using AngularJS code? I am here to discus my problem with my AngularJS project. currently everything is working. Getting response from APIs and setting data from API. but sometimes it get 400 error due to cache. after removing cache again works fine.
        So I want to build a code for when I refresh page cache should be removed. I tried $templateCache but not working anymore.

A: try this
  app.run(function($rootScope, $templateCache) {
        $rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(event, next, current) {
            if (typeof(current) !== 'undefined'){
                $templateCache.remove(current.templateUrl);
            }
        });
    });

A: If you are talking about development environment, you can disable browser cache when console is open.

I'm pretty sure Firefox and IE have that option too.
If you are talking about production environment, you'll need to look into javascript cache breaker.


We had family staying with us this past week. My wife's sister and brother-in-law from Canada. They have 2 small toddlers that evoked memories of our children many years ago.
You can imagine how difficult it is for 2 separate families of 4 to live in 1 house. But we (the adults) see parenting the same way; and their kids were so well-behaved, they brought joy rather than chaos to the 7 days.
When kids get tired the stress levels grow. So bedtimes demonstrated their good parenting skills. It also reminds me of good branding.
I'm always curious why clients want to "change things up". Their stories are similar. They've become bored with the "usual" and they think it's not working anymore.
I guess it's like children. They want to do something different at bedtime. Not the usual. Stay up later and become stimulated with something new and different.
Good parents know, that this leads to out-of-control kids. Whining, crying, complaining. They take longer going to sleep and the parents reap the "penalty" of breaking the rituals.
What's best? Stay the course. Each evening our guests would prepare their kids; allowing them to wind down, take a relaxing and fun bath, say goodnight (or blow kisses), get a drink of water, climb into bed, read a story with Mom or Dad, and then quietness.
Your branding is the same. Whether in print or online, you need to control the experience so your audience isn't surprised.
Rituals allow processes to become easier.
And ultimately, it leads to harmony.

Nurmat Atabekov: omicron strain affects people of all age groups
Uzbekistan has seen a rise in the number of coronavirus patients in recent days. According to Nurmat Atabekov, Deputy Head of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Wellbeing and Public Health Service, the epidemiological situation has deteriorated due to the omicron strain outbreak, which previously affected mainly elderly patients. He emphasized the new variant overwhelmed the world over the past 10 days, including Uzbekistan, and is being detected in all age groups.
Nurmat Atabekov stressed that the omicron strain is also widely spread in Uzbekistan. 'When it first entered our country, it was mainly detected in the elderly, and now it does not choose the age', he said.
'We are concerned that patients with acute respiratory disease and coronavirus are now entering the hospitals. With a mixed infection, two infectious agents infect the body simultaneously, complications can be more severe', Nurmat Atabekov emphasized, adding that over the last seven days nearly 500 patients with coronavirus have been hospitalized in the country and about 350 patients have been discharged from the hospital.
Earlier, Nurmat Atabekov said that cases of mixed infection of coronavirus with other respiratory diseases were recorded in Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan on Wednesday (November 30) registered 154 new Covid-19 cases. Tashkent continues to record most of the patients; the Uzbek capital detected 79 patients on the same day.


Planned to climb a mountain but somehow ended up in a cave. It was raining that day so our plans to go mountain climbing was hashed and we went to Ipoh breakfast breakfast instead. Such contrast, I know. On the car ride back to KL, I fell asleep but was pleasantly awoken to the news that we were at Gua Tempurung and that we would be exploring the insides of the cave. Although I felt that it was ridiculous to have to pay for tickets to look at nature, it was good to see the stairs in the cave in fairly good condition as we climbed up the hundreds of steps. There was a part of the cave where it was sort of like a hollow tunnel and cool wind blew through it just like air-conditioning. The dark cave was dotted with yellow spotlight so it was not as dark as one thought that a cave should be. Don't even get me started on the natural rays of light shooting in from the spaces of cave. That, topped off with some running/dancing in the drizzle when we got to the foot of the cave, it was a good day. Life should always be like this, expected yet pleasant.

Q: How to send a JavaScript function to C++, and call it later I need to reimplement a JavaScript framework using QWebKit. Currently I've been successful in calling C++ methods from JavaScript, but now I need to register a JavaScript callback, and be able to call it from C++.
In the original system (made using WebkitGTK), I built a C function which received an object as parameter. That object was the JavaScript function to be called as callback. An example:
bool cb_function(param1, param2) {

   alert("This is the callback, called with "+param1);

}

my_c_class.set_callback(cb_function);

Here, I define the *cb_function* callback, and send it to the underlying framework. Then, in C, I used JSObjectCallAsFunction() to call the JavaScript function whenever I needed, sending to it some parameters.
What I need to know is how to do this with QtWebKit instead. I presume that the first part needs to use a Q_INVOKABLE method (called, in this case, *set_callback*) which receives a QObject or QVariant parameter. Is this right?
And now the second part: how can I call from C++ that function stored in that QObject or QVariant?
Thanks!!!

A: You can't really pass the function to C++, and you can't directly call a JavaScript function from C++. However, what you want is achievable in a couple of ways:
One thing you can do is "connect" a JS function to one of a QObject's signals, (effectively making it a slot - if you're used to the Qt signal/slot terminology) and then emit that signal from C++ which will trigger (effectively "call") the JS function - and optionally pass it values as arguments.
The other (less awesome) way is to use the QWebFrame's "evaluateJavaScript" method to evaluate a string that call the function from the JS context - provided it's a function in the global scope, and you know the name of it.

If you're looking for a new mobile game to try this weekend, you have plenty of new options available, including Disney Magical Dice from Netmarble Games. The Monopoly-style board game allows up to four players to travel around a Disney-themed game board and spend coins to purchase properties.
In addition, Rovio and Tag Games released Angry Birds Action on mobile. The game was inspired by pinball, and it challenges players to help the Angry Birds rescue eggs by flinging the birds around the playing field.
Are you looking for something different to play? Here's a look at some of the additional mobile games released this week.
Spellbinders (Free on iOS, Android) – This multiplayer strategy game from Kiloo and Funday Factory combines elements from tower defense and multiplayer online battle arena games. The game allows players to select a Titan and control an army in battles, with the goal of destroying the enemy's base on the far side of the screen. The battlefield is split into lanes, and players can spend mana (which they earn automatically over time) to deploy their minions or cast spells onto the battlefield. If minions from either team reach the cannons in the center of the screen, they can capture them for their team. Cannons will automatically attack the enemy base over time. Minions, meanwhile, will continue to walk across the battlefield, automatically attacking enemies in the same lane, or attacking the base if they're allowed to reach it. Games end when one base runs out of hit points.
Apestorm: Full Bananas ($0.99 on iOS, Android) – From Snowbound and Channel 4's All 4 Games, Apestorm: Full Bananas is a side-scrolling zeppelin-bombing game, which asks players to help apes defeat humans who have destroyed the planet. In each of the game's 20 levels, players can drop bombs on buildings and other man-made objects to earn points. However, if they hit a natural object, like a tree, they lose points. While the zeppelin flies automatically, players can control its speed and altitude to avoid obstacles and aim at targets. Users also have access to nine different power-ups, which can help them complete levels.
Dino Bash (Free on iOS, Android) – From pokoko Studio and Tilting Point, this tower-defense game challenges players to help dinosaurs protect their eggs from hungry cavemen. During each level, players can deploy dinosaurs using apples, which recharge automatically over time. Dinosaurs will automatically attack approaching cavemen. Players can also help the dinosaurs by using weapons like bombs and traps to attack enemies. Gamers will unlock new kinds of dinosaurs over time, and they can upgrade them to make them stronger. Dino Bash includes 75 levels to complete.
Tome of the Sun (Free on iOS, Android) – This action RPG from NetEase Games challenges players to protect the Sun Kingdom from evil forces. Players can choose to become a knight, mage, duelist or archer, and they can collect more than 1,000 gear, costume and accessory items for their hero. During battle, players tap on the ground to move, and their hero will automatically attack nearby enemies. Gamers can also tap buttons to trigger their hero's special abilities. In addition to single-player battles, Tome of the Sun offers player vs. player modes, including an arena, clan wars and more.
The Walking Dead: Michonne Episode 3: What We Deserve ($4.99 on iOS, Android, Amazon) – This final episode in a three-part series from Telltale Games follows Michonne as she tries to protect an innocent family. While playing, gamers can make choices impacting the story. Specifically, Telltale said players' choices will determine who lives and who dies. This episode is available as an in-app purchase for players who already own the first episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne on mobile. Players have the option to purchase Episode 2 and Episode 3 in a bundle for $7.99.

Bison forward Zach Franko is checked by Cougar defenceman Grant Baker during Canada West quarter final action on Feb. 16 at the Wayne Fleming Arena in Winnipeg.
The third seeded Bisons battled, but were stymied by a suffocating Cougars defence and were swept aside in two straight games.
Game one of the best-of-three series was heated. Both sides traded goals, hits, and barbs throughout the game, with the Cougars coming away with a 3-2 win and 1-0 series lead.
Bison forward Zach Franko scored early after taking a backhand pass from behind the net and ripping a shot top corner on Cam Lanigan. Two minutes later, Cougar defenceman Jesse Lees erased the lead by sidestepping a check and beating Byron Spriggs to end the period 1-1.
The deadlock remained through the second, and in the final frame it was the visitors getting out in front. Jamal Watson snapped home a one-timer from Chris Gerrie in the high-slot to give Mount Royal a 2-1 lead.
The Bisons came back five minutes later to bring themselves even. Nick Zajac sent a cross-ice pass through a Cougars defender and right onto the tape of Liam Bilton as the two came in on the rush. Bilton snapped a wrister from the half-wall, beating Lanigan top-corner for the second time on the night, knotting the game 2-2.
Just as fans were ramping down, expecting overtime, the Cougars stunned the home side off a defensive breakdown. With 43 seconds on the clock, Mitch Lipon slid the puck to Mount Royal captain Jamie King as he was crashing the net. King was left all alone and ripped one short-side on Spriggs to lift the underdog Cougars to a 3-2 win.
"We need to be better tomorrow," said Bison head coach Mike Sirant.
Sirant noted it was simply a missed assignment which led to the game-winning chance.
"It happened quickly but we missed our coverage in front of the net and left a guy open and you know he made a good shot," he said.
The Bisons looked to exact revenge in game two and force a deciding game on Sunday. The two sides battled in a fiery and penalty-filled game, and the Cougars came away with a 5-3 win to complete the sweep.
Despite an early penalty, it was the Cougars getting ahead first on the penalty kill. King and Josh Bly broke into the Bisons zone. King sent a feed to Bly charging into the slot, and he was able to redirect the puck just under the crossbar.
The home side had a great chance to tie things a few minutes later, but the Cougars goaltender was up to the challenge. Lanigan made an awkward stop, lost the puck and went down onto his stomach. The puck slid to the slot and was turned back on goal, but Lanigan got just enough of it with his glove to preserve the lead.
The visitors continued to pour it on during the second period. Goals from Tanner Olstad and Watson gave the Cougars a 3-0 lead, then when Austin Adamson scored to make it 4-0 Mount Royal, tensions boiled over.
Following the goal – on a delayed penalty – Bison defenceman Adam Henry and Watson came together, exchanging a few punches. Watson lost his helmet in the scrum and both earned five minute majors.
The scrum seemed to bring the Bisons to life, as Justin Augert tucked a backhander neatly under the bar with seconds left on the clock in the second. Then in the third, Bison captain Brett Stovin unleashed a blast from the point, demolishing Lanigan's water bottle. Stovin banged home a loose puck to get Manitoba within one moments later.
"Brett has been an amazing captain for us all year, and the things he's done for this hockey team, and that's just an example of him stepping up and making a difference," Sirant said.
The late flurry was not enough, however, as Watson added his second of the game on an empty net, giving Mount Royal the 5-3 win and series sweep.
The loss brings an end to a great season for the Bisons. The program finished third in a deep Canada West, while being ranked nationally during the year.
"This one stings," Sirant said.

El Templo de Trujillo, Perú, es uno de los templos construidos y operados por la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días ubicado en la ciudad de Trujillo, Perú. Fue dedicado el domingo 21 de junio de 2015 por el segundo consejero de la Primera Presidencia Dieter F. Uchtdorf en tres sesiones transmitidas a nivel de estaca en todo el país. Fue anunciado por la Primera Presidencia el 13 de diciembre de 2008.

Este es el segundo templo en funcionamiento del Perú y el 17.º en Suramérica. Se prevé que está disponible para 88 000 miembros aproximadamente en el país. El programa de puertas abiertas que se realizó el 8 de mayo hasta el sábado 30 de mayo de 2015 (excepto los domingos 10 de mayo, 17 y 24) asistieron más de 91 mil personas de diferentes creencias religiosas y edades, también grandes líderes políticos nacionales y de la región. El sábado 20 de junio de 2015 se realizó la celebración cultural donde participaron elencos artísticos de la iglesia, presentando temas musicales, danza típicas y escena teatral, fue presidido por el presidente Uchtdorf acompañado del Élder David A. Bednar (del Quorum de los doce apóstoles) y la presidencia del Área Sudamérica Noroeste conformada por el presidente Juan A. Uceda y sus consejeros Élder W. Christopher Waddell y Élder Carlos A. Godoy, todos con sus respectivas esposas; asistieron 5 000 personas que presenciaron en vivo el evento y miles más lo vieron por transmisión satelital en diferentes centros de reuniones de la iglesia del país y por la página oficial del Área Sudamérica Noroeste vía streaming, los líderes invitaron asistir constantemente al templo, a las clases de instituto de religión y leer el folleto "Para la fortaleza de la Juventud". Fue un evento histórico para muchos peruanos.

El presidente Uchtdorf dijo que el Día del Padre era el momento perfecto para dedicar el nuevo templo. «Se nos ha dicho que debemos celebrar, honrar y adorar a nuestro Padre Celestial, y hoy es el Día del Padre [dijo en la ceremonia de la piedra angular durante la dedicación]. ¡Qué honor y qué privilegio maravilloso es dar a nuestro Padre Celestial esta Casa del Señor.»

Se dedicó 29 años después de la apertura del Templo de Lima, Perú que actualmente sirve a 118 estacas y distritos, fue dedicado en Lima por Gordon B. Hinckley en enero de 1986. Antes los miembros de Trujillo viajan de 9 a 10 horas al Templo de Lima, que puede estar excepcionalmente ocupado los sábados, ya que los miembros llegan de todas partes del país y los visitantes a veces tienen que esperar durante horas para participar en las ordenanzas.

Cuando se anunció, la Primera Presidencia declaró: «Estamos seguros de que esto va a ser una bendición para los muchos santos fieles en este y las zonas circundantes que han tenido que viajar largas distancias para disfrutar de las bendiciones del templo. Felicitamos a los Santos por su devoción y fidelidad, y estamos agradecidos por las bendiciones que vendrán a ellos a través de la construcción de este nuevo templo».

Aparte del templo también tiene su propio albergue, dentro del que hay un centro de distribución de la iglesia, comedor, sala de espera y más. Próximamente se construirá un centro de reuniones en la parte trasera del terreno.

Sitio y proceso de construcción del Templo
Al principio el templo iba ser construido al lado de un centro de reuniones de la iglesia existente en la calle Teodoro Valcarcel en la Urbanización Primavera, Trujillo. Luego se anunció que el sitio del templo sería junto al cementerio Campo Eterno en la carretera que conduce de Mansiche a Huanchaco. Su palada inicial tuvo lugar el 14 de septiembre de 2011 y una representación del edificio fue presentada. La ceremonia fue presidida por el venezolano Rafael E. Pino de los Setenta. El 14 de agosto de 2014 se coloca la estatua del ángel Moroni con una duración de dos horas.

La constructora COSAPI detalló sobre la construcción en su página oficial: «Este proyecto de 2,600 m², comprendido por dos edificaciones, una para uso de templo de un nivel y a doble altura y otra para uso de albergue de dos niveles y un sótano, dentro de un terreno de 10.5 hectáreas. Es un diseño complejo, de alto nivel de acabado»".

TUKWILA, WA — The new AMC Westfield Southcenter not only provides Seattle-area moviegoers with luxurious accommodations but also the Northwest's first all digital cinema.
It's not being billed as such, but the opening Friday of AMC's luxurious 16-screen multiplex at Westfield Southcenter in Tukwila is a milestone event in local movie history. It's the first large-scale cinema in the Northwest in which every projector is digital.
The 2,900-seat complex is one of 10 nonfilm theaters AMC is introducing into the hard-pressed movie market this year, and the prototype for a movie-theater future that industry experts predict could be all-digital in less than a decade.
Will this transition affect the average moviegoer?

This is NOT the first all television theater to open in the Puget Sound area. Galaxy Theaters opened a 10 plex months ago in Gig Harbor (and it's having equipment problems). Cinetopia has a theater complex in Vancouver that's been open for almost two years.
Coate on July 22, 2008 at 10:35 am
The new SOUTHCENTER 16 has 4K projectors. Those other theaters you mention use 2K.

Television theater? What a ripoff. Give me fuzzy high speed printed 35mm. ;–)
markp on July 23, 2008 at 5:56 am
EXACTLY what I've been saying all along Kram!!! This will be what kills the movie industry once and for all. Why pay to see that which you can already watch in your living room.
I was being sarcastic. Film prints today are so inconsistent in quality it's not funny. The days of special prints are long gone unfortunately.
No one has 4k in their living room, yet.
markp on July 23, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Well, I wasn't being sarcastic. Sorry I misunderstood. But anyone who thinks this digital thing is going to be the end-all-be-all, lets just wait and see.
moviebuff82 on July 26, 2008 at 8:54 am
I agree. DLP has been around for 10 years (same time as HDTV's introduction to the US), so it will take time and money before all theaters convert film to digital or vice versa.
Giles on August 14, 2008 at 10:13 am
but it's much more affordable for the studio to convert film to digital, than it is the opposite, film distribution is very costly – the point of installing Digital projection systems was to cut that cost and process out.
As to Kram's comment, film prints ARE very inconsistent. Compared to digital projection, every imperfection is gone, reel changes, theater indicator dots, random screen length white horizontal lines, grain.
as for the conversion of AMC screens, it's been slow as molasses. Granted the technology is swaying to 4K, AMC's very select theatres that feature Sony 4K is non-existent in print and advertising. 'Hancock' was screened in 4K, the next supposedly is 'Quantum of Solace'.
Jon Lidolt on September 13, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I ran a repertory cinema for many years and am well aware of the problems one faces projecting film: faded colors, scratched prints, frames missing because of bad splices, projectionists who refuse to wear glasses, and badly made prints that should never have left the lab. A new AMC cinema complex located near me in Toronto has 24 auditoriums and almost all of them are equpped with Sony 4K projectors. For me, at least, this AMC mutiplex is a pleasure to attend: the seats are great, the lobby is beautifully designed and feels like a movie theatre – not a midway at a carnival, and the digital projection onto their huge screens is always perfect. Truth be told (except for Imax) I haven't seen such sharp pictures on a cinema screen since the 70mm roadshow days.

Category: Literary Collections
Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1- (A-), University of Frankfurt (Main) (IEAS), course: Englisch Seminar - John Locke, Didaktik, 4 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: "If they come not to their books with some kind of liking and relish, it is no wo nder their thoughts should be perpetually shifting from what disgusts them, and seek better entertainment in more pleasing objects after which they will unavoidable be gadding." 1 John Locke ́s "Some Thoughts Concerning Education" occupies an important place in the history of educational theory 2 , though only a scanty reference can be made to it here. The aim of that work is to point out Locke ́s basic ideals concerning the human race and in how far education needs careful consideration. Furthermore it should become clear which methods John Locke prefers and in how far they are useful for reality, nowadays and also in the past. In order to find out the important aspects there will be first of all given a brief biography of John Locke so that it will become possible to reconstruct the activities in his life and how they influenced his writings, especially the work that should be discussed here in the first place.

As handy as online Japanese-to-English dictionaries are for looking up individual vocabulary words, automated translation programs tend to spit out much spottier results. A big part of the problem is how much more Japanese relies on context for meaning, which in turn means speakers can, and often do, abbreviate and omit whole words and phrases which human listeners can easily understand implicitly.
Automated programs, though, lack this ability, which means their translations are often missing vital elements needed for the sentence to make sense in English. It's a problem software engineers and linguists are trying to address, but adding such soft logic to machines is a difficult endeavor.
In at least one case, though, the Google Translate team seems to have been too effective, as trying to convert a Japanese phrase meaning, "Goodbye, my beloved" into English produces a result that seems to have roughly 38 hours of backstory behind it.
Recently, a native Japanese writer with AOL News Japan wanted to know how to say "Sayonara daisuki na hito" in English. Sayonara shouldn't be too much of a problem, as even most people who don't speak Japanese understand that it means "goodbye," so you'd figure Google Translate would be able to handle it.
Most problematic of all, the original Japanese doesn't say who loves the person or people. A lot of translation programs will default to either "I" or "you" when the subject isn't expressly stated (a pretty common occurrence in Japanese sentence structure), but sometimes they just get lazy and omit the subject in the English sentence, too.
Google Translate, though, decides to answer "none of the above," as we confirmed ourselves. First, we typed in Sayonara daisuki na hito in Japanese text in the left box.
In case you've forgotten, we'll save you the trouble of scrolling back up to double-check the list of possible accurate translations. "Episode 78" isn't one of them.
Japanese Internet users are just as puzzled as we are.
Granted, the way AOL News Japan typed sayonara, and the protocol we followed in duplicating their results, is missing the long vowel-marking hiragana う of the 100-percent grammatically correct way to render the word in Japanese text. Still, dropping that hiragana and making the word さよなら instead of さようなら is far from uncommon in colloquial Japanese writing, as shown by the dozens of song titles which feature the word written that way.
Because RocketNews24 will stop at nothing to deliver the truth to our readers, we went digging a little deeper, and we think we've pieced together what caused the breakup using Yahoo! Japan's translation service.
▼ The person who loves Sayo?
Since that "loves" is in the present tense, we're going to guess that no one is saying good-bye to Sayo. From that, we can deduce that the person saying "Goodbye, my beloved" is the women who was dating Sayo's enthralled beau before she broke up the relationship between the speaker and her unnamed ex. Really, based on the evidence presented by both Google and Yahoo! Japan, there's no other conclusion we can arrive at.
Well, except that maybe you can't rely on automated translation programs.
What's up doc? Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Lola Bunny in human form are too hot to ignore!

Q: Making static Build(standalone application) with Qt I started out with Qt a while back. I have downloaded the windows 32bit version(666mB),and nothing else. I have made a simple calculator app.
The app runs when I run it from Qt creator, but the built exe shows dlls missing.
I don't want to use dependency walker.I want to create a static build(I read about it , but I am not able to get it running)
My objective is to make a fully functional calculator (no installer), without having to manually add the dependencies.
I have read about the configure -static, but I didn't understand how to use it.
Thanks in advance for the help.

A: You need to build Qt yourself from source. You will definitely want to maintain two builds of Qt. For debugging, you should use the shared build, as this has reasonable link times. For release, you should use the static build, definitely with link time code generation to keep the executable smaller, and expect the build of a trivial application to take on the order of a minute. This is because the "link" really generates machine code for both Qt and your application, and the code is specific to your application, thus making it generally perform better.
The way you do it without wasting disk space for multiple copies of the source is by using out-of-source Qt builds. So far the static Qt 5.1.1 build is broken, so the below only works for Qt 4, with Visual Studio.

*

*Download the source to, say, C:\Qt\4.8.5.

*Create C:\Qt\4.8.5-shared. Open the visual studio console, CD there, and run C:\Qt\4.8.5\configure.exe -shared with whatever other options you may have. Then build it using nmake or jom.

*Create C:\Qt\4.8.5-static. Open the visual studio console, CD there, and run C:\Qt\4.8.5\configure.exe -static -ltcg with whatever other options you may have. Then build it using nmake or jom.
You'll need to link the plugins statically to your release build of the application.
Qt Creator makes it easy to use multiple builds of Qt in parallel. I routinely do builds using both Qt 4 and Qt 5, both static and shared, with local fixes to Qt 5 to get the static build to work.

It's never too late to create your own family traditions during the holidays. This season is truly about sharing special times with the ones you love. We've all told ourselves that it's not about the gifts, but when you put time and thought into fun annual gatherings, you do find that the memories are priceless. We've put together some of our favorite ideas to create laughter, fun and good cheer!
Nothing brings people together more than food. And peppermint is the perfect holiday temptation. Try baking this fun, simple holiday treat with some neighbors, your kids or grandkids. It's so simple that you'll have lots of time left for all your other activities… or you can just put your feet up and relax! Double or triple the recipe & your friends with thank you for your sweet homemade holiday gift.
Take family photos. Long gone are the days of stuffy, awkward family photos. With today's technology you don't even need a professional photographer to capture the moment. You even get to choose if you want to create a theme (Holiday pj's? Color coordinated outfits? Crazy sunglasses, wigs and props?) You will never regret freezing the moment in time and having a digital memory to enjoy in years to come.
Family Game Night – whether you go with old classics like Clue, Monopoly or charades or try some new games like Banagrams, Blank Slate or Picwits, the night will speed by in fits of laughter and silliness. Gather some snacks and your favorite people for a bit of old-fashioned fun. Everyone, especially the host or hostess, will appreciate the time to unplug and be present!
Don't wait too long – figure out your favorite holiday tradition (old or new) and make it an annual affair. Bringing people together is what this season is all about, and we wish you an abundance of happiness throughout the holidays and into the new year!

Our Ranches
What's more fulfilling than a delicious meal? Sharing it with others
Life is more fulfilling when shared with others, and the same goes for mealtime. Catching up, creating memories and raving about your new favorite show are all great reasons to gather around the table. But did you know there are other unique benefits to communal eating?
Beyond nutrition, the sociological benefits of shared mealtime can boost our mood and bring us closer together.
Join the Open Prairie® Natural* Meats brand team as we dig deeper, examining how a simple plate of food can transform into something much bigger — a way to connect with yourself and others.
A chance to slow down
We've all been there: You're running late for work and decide to scarf down a quick breakfast, yet you don't feel full afterward. What gives?
While our stomachs are always communicating with us, it can take a while for that satiated feeling to set in.
Communal eating helps us slow down as we talk and listen between bites. Eating slowly helps you tune into your body's satiety signals. Not to mention giving you greater appreciation for the food on your plate.
Time to reflect
It's normal to feel satisfied and happy after enjoying a meal with others — but not just from the food. Sharing meals provides a sense of rhythm, regularity and a chance to reflect on the day, allowing you to press pause and focus on what matters. Trust us, that endless to-do list can wait!
Communal eating and everyday life: Where does it fit in?
Don't just make it about dinner
After a long day, it can be overwhelming to prepare a meal and wrangle the whole family. We're all busy, and most importantly, every family is different. Spend meals together based on what works best for your family. Maybe it's breakfast instead of dinner!
Start slow
While it would be great to spend every meal together as a family, it's not always realistic. Start by setting one or two days aside for family meals. Put it on your calendar to set the expectation for your family and yourself.
Meet up for lunch
Meeting up with friends or colleagues is the perfect excuse to grab lunch and catch up. Plus, it creates a break in your day and gives you something to look forward to.
Get everyone involved
Choose easy-to-prepare meals so the whole family can participate, even the kids. Share responsibility so everyone has different age-appropriate tasks, like setting the table, prepping ingredients, measuring, helping cook or washing up. Keep the television off so you can all talk and share as a family.
Sharing meals with others has a variety of benefits that go beyond nutrition. From mood-boosting qualities to creating memories with loved ones, communal eating can help us feel happier and more fulfilled.

In 1906, the George G. Wright Land Co. chose present-day Friona,Texas, as the site for a new frontier colony. Promised fertile soil and a sunny climate, a group of Indiana farmers were drawn to the unspoiled Texas terrain. One of those pioneers was Jacob Schueler. He arrived by railroad in 1908 from Fort Wayne, bought a farm and settled down to work the land.
Over a century later, Jacob's great-grandson, Dale Schueler and his family run Cow Country Farms. The thriving 8,000-acre operation, not far from Jacob's original plot of land, raises Angus cattle and grows wheat.
Back to Cow Country Farms
God, family and country
Dale Schueler and his wife, Donna, raised three sons on the farm: Monty, Kevin and Wade. Growing up, the boys were taught to love God, family and country. The three eventually went away to college and took jobs elsewhere. But Monty and Kevin were both drawn back to the land of their childhood and their deep family roots to continue in the family business.
Now both married, Kevin and Monty are raising their kids as they were raised. Instilling a strong work ethic, encouraging them to be themselves and having some fun along the way.
Ranching and taking care of animals doesn't leave a lot of free time, but when they do have some, Dale and Donna's world revolves around their 10 grandkids. Camping, attending 4-H shows and volleyball games are just a few of the grandkid activities they love to be a part of.
Good Stewards
As Natural as Possible
Cow Country Farms is part of a Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). CRP is a private-lands conservation program that helps improve water quality, reduce soil erosion and reduce loss of wildlife.
Even during extreme droughts, the Schueler's calves can graze on the nutrient rich grasses thanks to CRP. As Kevin said, "A good steward of the land, in my opinion, is making it the most fertile it can be… being as natural as possible."
The Resident Vet
For nearly 50 years, Dale has dedicated his life to caring for animals as both a rancher and a veterinarian. Between his medical background and raising his own cattle, Dale's depth of knowledge makes him uniquely qualified to implement and advocate for strong animal welfare practices.
Preventative medicine is at the cornerstone of Dale's animal welfare philosophy: "Proper feeding, good water and the human aspect of caring for animals is much more important than any implants or hormones."
During the panhandle's drought season, the extreme conditions require checking on cattle even more frequently, and feeding them more often. Constantly making sure they have enough water and minerals to not just survive, but thrive during the harsh elements.
Committed to Animal Care
Centennial Livestock prides itself on being a closed commercial cow-calf herd operator for over 30 years. And that's no accident — a lot of heart goes into raising their cattle.
For the Staudenmeyers and the Tamckes, their cattle mean everything to them. That why they're raised for the Open Prairie Natural Meats brand with no antibiotics — ever, no added hormones or growth promotants and fed a 100% vegetarian diet. Plus, third-party audits make sure they're keeping good on their promises. When that much care is dedicated to animal welfare, it can only result in the most mouthwatering, flavorful Angus beef you'll ever have the pleasure of tasting. In fact, it's the same beef you'll find on their own dinner tables.
Back to Centennial Livestock
The Original Environmentalist
Dalton Tamcke, Deb and Tom's son, said it best, "The rancher is the original environmentalist." They know that the key to preserving the ranch for future generations is to be good stewards of the land through supporting plant and soil health.
Use responsibly. And always give back. It's all part of an important cycle — if the land is nourished, the cows are nourished. If the cows are nourished, then families can be nourished. The families work hard to maintain soil and plant health, and they avoid overgrazing, allowing grass to regenerate over the seasons. Taking care of the land is vital to ensuring that future generations can thrive and continue this precious cycle.
It was over 100 years ago, back in 1921, when Les Staudenmeyer moved to Southwestern Montana to raise his own cattle. Les and his family worked to manage the ranch, a feedlot and another farm — but that was just the beginning.
Fast-forward to 1996. Les' grandchildren, Will Staudenmeyer and Deb Tamcke, decide to follow in their grandfather's footsteps and take over the ranch. Along with their father, Bill and their spouses, Patti Jo and Tom, they continue the tradition of raising all-natural, quality Angus cattle. Together, they work to preserve their ranching lifestyle and livelihood for future generations.
With four generations on the ranch, Centennial Livestock is more than just a business — it's the place the Staudenmeyers and Tamckes call home.
Being part of the family business isn't always easy, but it is always rewarding. It's a balancing act of work and play. And boy, can they do both. Whether working side-by-side at sunrise, tending the land or cracking jokes at dinner after a long day, their fondest memories have always been on the ranch. When they're not herding cattle, you can find them horseback riding, team roping, skiing or taking the motorbike for a spin.


This patient wanted a breast reduction because her large breasts had bothered her all of her life. She did not like the way they looked and because of how heavy they were, they gave her neck and back pain. For this procedure she had a bilateral breast reduction. The patient was very happy with shape and size of her breasts after her procedure. These photos were taken 6 months after her surgery.


At Skilljar, we often work with customer success teams that are seeking to launch and grow their customer education programs. Whether you're a software company selling your product or a training company that's selling content, your prospects can choose from an increasing number of options and are able to switch vendors more easily than ever before.
Providing successful customer onboarding and quality ongoing education are therefore critical to demonstrating product value, improving retention, and fighting customer churn at scale. In this blog post, we'll discuss the 3 keys to running a successful customer education program.
In B2B sales, 57% percent of the purchasing decision is now made before ever talking to a sales rep.1 Traditional product marketing includes producing materials like eBooks, webinars, and case studies. Innovative companies are now pursuing two new strategies for developing leads - customer education as marketing, and turning customers into advocates.
Turning customers into advocates. Referrals from happy customers are one of the most powerful sales tools available. You're probably already working with your top customers on case studies and testimonials - but how do you activate the bulk of your customer base? One strategy we're seeing is launching a social customer certification program. Once your customer is certified on your product, they can share their status on social networks like LinkedIn. This helps the customer showcase their achievements while also building brand awareness for your product. To encourage customer adoption, consider promoting certification during new customer onboarding, jumpstarting the ecosystem with your employees and existing customers, and providing bonus incentives for certified customers.
When choosing your customer training strategy, understand your desired business goals and success metrics in order to design the appropriate program. For example, if you are seeking to deliver low-touch training to as many customers as possible (like many software/SaaS companies), start with free on-demand training that's easily accessible to customers 24/7 around the world. Over time, you can expand your training options to include more delivery models to meet the needs of additional customers.
Customer communication is traditionally done via a well-optimized set of lifecycle emails. When signing up for a new service, you'll typically receive a welcome email, product newsletters, and various drip emails based on your activity. Some companies even offer email-based "courses" that provide useful onboarding tips at key decision points.
Many customer education programs include a mix of structured training and proactive customer communications. Like in any other context, customers have different learning preferences, and offering a variety of options provides more complete coverage and thus higher likelihood of adoption.
Customer education is a critical new tool for companies that are seeking to improve customer success. The 3 keys are customer marketing, customer training, and customer communication. When starting a new program, consider your business goals and what's most relevant to your company and industry to get started.

Bklyn Heights builder plans something novel — a brownstone actually made of brownstone
By Dan Macleod
April 7, 2011 | 8:56pm
A Brooklyn Heights developer is going back to the future to revive the iconic brownstone.
For the first time in decades, if not a century, a townhouse made from actual brownstone quarried from its original source is being built in the borough that made the architectural style famous.
Designer Tom van den Bout said his retro-chic townhouse at 27 Cranberry St. would use stone sourced from Portland Brownstone Quarries in Connecticut.
"We wanted to do something that had a brownstone look," said Van den Bout.
"The fact that there's this great source of stone just seemed to be a perfect coincidence."
The new house on the long-vacant lot between Willow and Hicks streets will likely get the necessary approval of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. After all, Van den Bout is not only the former president of the Brooklyn Heights Association, which supports the plan, but he consulted neighbors to tweak the finished design.
"It's an appropriate thing if you're building a new building in a neighborhood dominated by brownstones already," said architectural historian Francis Morrone. "Especially in historic neighborhoods I think it's very important."
That said, some neighbors have been a bit touchy.
"It's a sensitive block," said Judy Stanton, executive director of the Brooklyn Heights Association.
If neighbors are ornery, it's probably from the weight of 140 years of history on their backs. After all, the building material is as iconic in Kings County as the Brooklyn Bridge and Marty Markowitz's accent.
The use of brownstone as a building material was a fad in the latter half of the 19th century — one so prevalent that author Edith Wharton would later deride the era as "the brown decades," and famously called the rock "the most hideous building stone ever quarried."
Hideous to her, perhaps, but as omnipresent as Gowanus oysters. Brownstone, which is actually just brown sandstone, was not only popular because architects in the Victorian age liked earth tones, but because it was cheap.
As the city and its middle class grew, people started living further from work and developers built up Brooklyn as a suburban spot. Like the building boom around the time of the last housing bubble, homes began to get bigger, more pretentious — and more shoddily built.
"These were like the first McMansions and this was the first urban sprawl," said Morrone. "People wanted stone for their houses and the better stone was too expensive."
But like any fad, brownstone's popularity faded; by the Great War, the material was passed over for trendy, lighter-colored materials like limestone. Weather damage, as a result of poor construction and improper quarrying, also gave the material a bad reputation.
But Brooklyn's ubiquitous brown rock has gotten a bum rap.
"With our knowledge of brownstone today and how to cut and handle it properly — we could probably build a better brownstone today that we could in the 19th-century," said Morrone.
And weather damage is more a result of how the building is put together than the cut of the rock, added Mike Meehan, owner of the Portland Brownstone Quarries.
The project's developer Lou Greco Jr. often plays with the conceits of Brooklyn history by reinventing it. Two decades ago on Hicks Street, he built a modern loft, yet made it look like a Brooklyn Heights townhouse. And his Richard Meier-designed On Prospect Park condo development in Prospect Heights turns the big Brooklyn apartment house on its head, sheathing it in glass Minimalism.
"The product is beautiful," said Greco, who bought the property in 2004 for $1.5 million.
Of course, this is Brooklyn, so not everybody is a fan.
"It's too grand in proportion for its neighbors on the block," said Simeon Bankoff of the Historic Districts Council.
But Van den Bout thinks that the classic brownstone material will silence the naysayers — or, at least, having them saying, "Ahhh."
"The rock will have circular patterns carved into it, making the house appear different throughout the day," he said. "It will really bring a subtle light to the facade."

Aww… This is so cute, your beautiful little daughter (she really looks like she just walked off a magazine cover, and so do you for that matter) with the flowers around. Love it, though I think the coloring kinda looks a little odd (or perhaps it's just the camera angle?). Can't wait to learn how you did it!
Congratulations for being feautured as a guest designer. You know what, I am not surprise! You are so talented and creative. The ornament is gorgeous, I will be giving it a try. It is a great idea especially that Christmas is around the corner, and It will be nice to personalize my Christmas tree with my babies photos.
Thanks Lauren 4 all the sharing!
I love it!! great job Lauren!!!
This is an absolutely beautiful project! Your directions are excellent! I can't wait to try this myself. I do have one question…what is the tool called that you used to adhere the picture to the glass ornament?
Absolutely wonderful. Lauren you are so talented!! Love everything you do going to the site to see how you did it. I thinkitis a great gift ideal especally as Christmas gifts!!
Love this idea, Lauren. You are so talented. How did you choose the size to cut the picture? Just kind of eyeball it?
I LOVE these! I have a new grandson and plan on making these as Christmas gifts as well as some for myself! Also, what size circle punch did you use? This only works with circle/flat ornaments?
I'm attempting to make these for Christmas gifts for g-parents. I've been to Micheals and HL and no one had the rub onz. HL suggested the acrylic sealer then adhesive spray. I was wondering where you got your rob onz or what you thouht of their suggestion.
I love these photo ornaments and will be teaching a class tomorrow night. I've been practicing and keep landing up with all kinds of wrinkles 🙁 I tried looking for answers here…what size circle did you use? Tool to adhere the rub onz. I hope you save the day!!!
I don't know what I'm doing wrong!!! I have spent over two hours working on these ornaments for my mom and have only 2 very unpolished looking ones done. Everything keeps messing up.
Every time I try to pull the clear plastic piece off to adhere it onto the ornament, it keeps sticking to the adhesive and pulling. I've tried rubbing it more with the stick, not rubbing it as much, etc. Is there some trick I don't know about?!
