Wermlands nation är en nation vid Linköpings universitet. Nationerna i Linköping har ett samarbetsorgan, Kuratorskollegiet.

Nationerna i Linköping är helt ideella studentföreningar och inte del av någon kår eller sektion. Tanken med nationen är att ge sina medlemmar en rikare studietid genom olika typer av arrangemang och möjligheter att engagera sig i studentikos verksamhet. Det som skiljer nationerna från sektionerna/kåren är att de vänder sig till alla utbildningar. De får inte heller något ekonomiskt stöd från studentkårerna.

Historia
Nationen grundades den 28 februari 1985 och var den 15:e nationen i ordningen att grundas i Linköping.
Nationens geografiska upptagningsområde bestämdes vara Värmland och Dalsland, men alla studenter skulle (och är fortfarande) vara välkomna som medlemmar.

Under åren 1985-1997 hade nationen en egen tidning, WNT.

Nationslokal
Nationen har haft "nationslokal"  men har ingen nu.

Varglyan
Den första lokalen invigdes i september 1989.Den första lokalen var av typen "källarpub" och kom att kallas Varglyan.
Lokalen var sponsrad av Åbro med en ölpump. Varglyan låg i källaren på Björnkärrsgatan 13 i Ryd och var 20 kvm stor.
Lokalen ansågs för liten för den växande nationen som under 1993 slutligen hittade en lokal.

Kaserngatan 2
Hösten 1993 invigdes den nya lyan, i samband med Wermlands Nations Årsfest Älgjakten. Lokalen låg på Kaserngatan 2 och den hyrdes från kommunägda fastighetsbolaget Stångåstaden. Lokalen hade sittningssal med plats för 60 personer, pub, kök och bastu. Tidigare hade lokalen använts som kyrkosal.

I början av 2008 sades kontraktet upp och Nationen har nu ingen lokal, framför allt till följd av en nedåtgående ekonomi i Nationen.

Nationernas Hus
Wermlands Nation var tillsammans med andra nationer i Linköping initiativtagare till projektet Nationernas Hus.
1997 började man allvarligt titta på gamla "Folkets Hus" i Linköpings centrum. I februari 1998 skrevs kontrakt och en ombyggnad av huset påbörjades. Medan ombyggnaden pågick arbetade representanter från de olika nationerna med allt runtomkring det nya huset, bland annat inredning och organisation. Nationernas Hus invigdes 10 september 1998.  Huset har många möjligheter, bland annat en restaurang med pub, ett "disco" och en teater. Dessutom fanns det läsesalar att studera i. Nationerna bryggde även egen färsköl i ölcisterner placerade mitt i restaurangen. Dessa står kvar i lokalen idag men används inte.

Projektet fick stöd av Universitetet och Linköpings Kommun, det var ett sätt att få studenterna närmre stadskärnan.
En förening, NationsAkademin, bildades för att styra verksamheten åt nationerna. Medlemmar i den föreningen förutom Nationerna blev även Linköpings Studentspex som framför allt var intresserade av den teater som fanns i lokalen. I föreningen satt även representanter från Universitetet.

Verksamheten på Nationernas Hus togs över av Kårservice 2003 då Nationerna inte längre hade ekonomi att driva lokalen.
Nationerna var efter detta inte involverade i Nationernas Hus, numera förkortat NH, som gick från att vara ett studentdrivet uteställe som drevs av ideella organisationer (Nationer) till att bli ett kommersiellt "kårhus" drivet av företaget Kårservice Östergötland AB på uppdrag av studentkårerna i Linköping.

First, since it's Wordless Wednesday, here is a photo that Jim Phillips of SBS Associates sent me from a school walk-through. Luckily the school's security precautions kept these intruders out.
The news story is called: Lockdown Lowdown: Are school security measures merely an illusion of safety? Joe Hendry (author of this guest blog post and several other articles on school security) was interviewed, along with Paul Timm (author of this article and others).
I find it odd/irrelevant that the first video begins by mentioning two school shootings that would not have been prevented or affected in a positive way by the use of classroom barricade devices.
In the news footage, the devices are sitting right next to the doors where anyone can drop them into the brackets and secure the doors. I would love to see how quickly school staff or first responders can get into the room if an unauthorized person installs the device.
The professor talks about putting locks on the doors for pennies on the dollar and putting the rest of the resources toward after school programs and school lunches. That's interesting since she's talking about using traditional locks instead of investing in classroom barricade devices – usually the devices are marketed as a less-expensive alternative to traditional locks.
The second video quotes the National Association of State Fire Marshals about the dangers of the devices, and the local sheriff talks about how great the devices are…the age-old clash of safety vs. security. Schools CAN have both, but code-compliant security MAY be more expensive than gadgets. I say "may" because in many schools where barricade devices are being installed, the doors are already equipped with locks. Maybe they need to be rekeyed, or maybe the school just needs to change their protocols and issue keys to teachers – a full lock replacement is often not required. Some schools will need to improve the impact-resistance of the glazing adjacent to the door hardware. Classroom security devices are seen as a "quick-fix" and the marketing is very convincing, but these devices may cost much more than utilizing the existing locks.
On the news station's website, there's an email from a barricade device sales rep which shows how the company markets to facilities. I have heard so many reports of these companies stating that their products are allowed in 23 states, approved by the fire marshal, etc. In most states they are actually not allowed. Even if they are currently allowed in a particular jurisdiction, there are risks that must be considered. If they are inherently safe, why are most code officials objecting so strongly to their use? Why do the model codes include requirements that most barricade devices can not meet? What's going to happen to all of the devices that have been purchased, when one is misused and leads to tragedy?
"When the terrorists went and flew those planes into the buildings, what did we do? We armed the pilots, we put heavier doors, we do that for our airports, but what are we doing for our children?" – So we make the doors thicker and arm the children.
At least some people are speaking up on not using such devices.
Good / fair news coverage.
Would like to see the follow up report, will have to check the stations web site .
It's only going to take one instance of this type of device being abused by a student and the lawsuits will start flying. Yes, we have seen outsiders enter schools and start shooting but most shooters are students and they will quickly learn how these are used and their weaknesses. Why? Because they see the devices every day and they are not secured against abuse. Securing them beforehand would eliminate their "advantage".
I agree. Even if they secured these devices to prevent unauthorized use, what prevents someone from sticking any kind of rod in there. The door is now set up for anyone with a scrap piece of pipe or rebar to lock the door where no authorized key access will matter.

Bus overturns in Bangladesh killing 17
Published Saturday, April 19, 2008
At least 17 people died and 35 were injured, many seriously, when a bus overturned on a busy national highway in northern Bangladesh on Saturday, police said.
The bus, packed with labourers heading to the capital Dhaka to seek work, flipped over as it crossed the Jamuna Bridge in northern Tangail district, senior police official Tofazzal Hossain said.
"Sixteen people died on the spot while another person died in hospital. At least 35 others were also hospitalised, mostly with critical injuries," he said.
Police were probing the cause of the accident.
The Jamuna Bridge road is notorious for having the nation's highest number of fatal accidents annually since being inaugurated in 1998. Each year hundreds of people die in accidents on the road. (AFP)

It is the last act you can do that will allow them to live the life they have become accustomed to.
None of us are capable to forecast the foreseeable future. We may have a great notion of what will come about if recent circumstances carry on. But we are not able to predict the unforeseen. Lifestyle insurance policies is an important way to give for the sudden--as it will have an effect on these we love. Listed here are some guidelines to think about.
If you have a existence insurance policy that is well founded, meaning you have a developing equilibrium, you could be able to borrow from it to get the cash that you need to have for a down payment on a residence. If you do not want to borrow against it, you could even income it out and start off in excess of on it yet again.
It might be simpler said than completed, but attempt to steer clear of greater commissions when getting your palms on a new daily life insurance policies coverage. These commissions are paid out to a broker and agent, and the cost of them is included into the rates. Look for a 'no load' plan if you can purchase a policy directly.
Estimate your real life insurance needs, and enable the end result guidebook how considerably you purchase. It can be quite costly to over get any insurance policy, while possessing also small insurance policies might leave your family users with useless financial problems. When you make the ideal selections about life insurance, you will be much more at relieve.
You might need to have to amend your existence insurance policies coverage if you have altered your occupation. The insurance insurance policies are meant to assist your family when you pass absent. They consider into account how much income you are making every year but if you do not report a alter, it may possibly be based off of your old income. If you are generating $thirty,000 a lot more a calendar year that could make a massive distinction in the amount of cash that your family members will get.
Acquire lifestyle insurance coverage when you are youthful fairly than when you are aged. Placing off getting daily life insurance policies until afterwards daily life to avoid spending rates can stop up costing you more. The earlier in lifestyle you purchase a daily life insurance policy coverage, the reduced your premiums will be and the less likely you are to be refused a policy.
Boost your credit rating score to help save funds on lifestyle insurance policy. Statistics have demonstrated insurance companies that people with poor credit are larger pitfalls. Elevating your credit history rating could impact your costs otherwise depending on which insurance provider you decide on, but it is usually a excellent concept to get several quotes since each and every insurer evaluates new insurance policies in different ways. You may possibly require to amend your life insurance coverage policy if you have changed your profession. The insurance coverage policies are intended to support your household when you pass absent. They get into account how significantly income you are producing yearly but if you do not report a modify, it may be primarily based off of your previous earnings. If you are making $30,000 more a year that could make a big difference in the sum of cash that your family members will get.
Obtaining daily life insurance coverage is not just for wealthy individuals. In fact, it is probably far more critical for those with reduced to medium incomes than for individuals in increased tax brackets. Last costs and living fees will not likely go absent with the death of a family member. You want protection to make confident these fees are coated.
Individuals can in no way predict an incident or other tragic event that leaves them not able to operate. Ahead of this occurs, make certain you can safeguard your dependents by getting a lifestyle insurance policy policy. Bear in mind the tips in this write-up in order to decide on the best policy and charge for your scenario.


Market Design: How do Uber drivers get home at the end of the day?
How do Uber drivers get home at the end of the day?
"For our partners, driving with Uber means having the freedom to set their own schedules. The reasons people drive are as diverse as the individuals themselves. Some drive to supplement existing income, others drive to save up for a vacation or to pay off a student loan–-and when and where drivers choose to log onto to the Uber platform varies just as much.
"That's why we're introducing a new feature that enables drivers to tell Uber where they're heading so that we can find trips on their way.
"Starting this week in the Bay Area, drivers will be able to set their destination twice a day when they want to be matched only with riders traveling in a similar direction. Whether it's commuting to the areas where rides are needed most, driving back home at the end of the day, or running errands around town, drivers can set their destination to earn fares that are along their route."
Why only twice a day? Surely autonomous partners should be able to decide for themselves what destinations they prefer. Seems to me Uber is treating its drivers like employees.

Adaptive evolution in LINE-1 retrotransposons
Stephane Boissinot, Anthony V. Furano
We traced the sequence evolution of the active lineage of LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons over the last ∼25 Myr of human evolution. Five major families (L1PA5, L1PA4, L1PA3B, L1PA2, and L1PA1) of elements have succeeded each other as a single lineage. We found that part of the first open-reading frame (ORFI) had a higher rate of nonsynonymous (amino acid replacement) substitution than synonymous substitution during the evolution of the ancestral L1PA5 through the L1PA3B families. This segment encodes the coiled coil region of the protein-protein interaction domain of the ORFI protein (ORFIp). Statistical analysis of these changes indicates that positive selection had been acting on this region. In contrast, the coiled coil segment hardly changed during the evolution of the L1PA3B to the present L1PA1 family. Therefore, selective pressure on the coiled coil segment has changed over time. We suggest that the fast rate of amino acid replacement in the coiled coil segment reflects the adaptation of L1 either to a changing genomic environment or to host repression factors. In contrast, the second open-reading frame and the nucleic acid-binding domain of the first open-reading frame are extremely well conserved, attesting to the strong purifying selection acting on these regions.

RX, Oceanology International 2016, 13-15 March 2016
The Green Shipping panel discussion at Oceanology International 2016 explored the environmental impacts of global shipping. Invasive species have been identified as one of the four greatest threats to the world's oceans. Invasive alien species are now generally recognised as one of the greatest threats to biodiversity globally, they present serious economic, environmental and health impacts and, as a result, place major constraints on development.
Ships often take up ballast water in ports and coastal regions, where the ecosystems have a rich diversity of life. These biologically diverse waters, and their underlying sediments, including many forms of viruses, bacteria, plankton, plants and animals, are sucked into vessels' ballast tanks. Ballast water is then is released during various stages of the ship's journey, including at sea, along coastlines, and in various ports. As a result, a diverse mix of organisms is transported and released around the world. Over 3,000 marine species travel around the world in ships' ballast water on a daily basis. Invasive species are carried across the seas not only inside ships but also attached to the outside. This is known as hull fouling, vessel fouling, or biofouling. Organisms like barnacles, mussels, sponges, algae and sea squirts attach themselves to the hulls of ships, or within protected nooks and crannies such as sea chests. These organisms then 'hitch a ride' from one port or bioregion to the next.
This panel session covered the two major vectors of invasive species into the marine environment: in ships ballast water or by hull fouling- with talks covering the science, technologies and legislation designed to minimize and prevent invasions and a discussion on how impending international legislation may present business opportunities for the science, engineering and technology sector.

Alum Draws on Past Careers to Succeed in Medicine
Patient care, says Zubair Siddiqui, is all about problem-solving. And he should know, too: As a veteran of the United States Air Force, an engineer by trade, and now a physician, he's trained to solve problems of all shapes and sizes.
Dr. Siddiqui (AUC Class of 2013) is a PGY-3 resident in the University of Texas Southwestern family medicine program. Born in Pakistan, Dr. Siddiqui moved to the U.S. in 1998, and two years later enrolled at Georgia Institute of Technology to study electrical engineering.
After graduating, he spent almost a year as a contractor for Dell Computers before joining the U.S. Air Force. There, he served as an officer and worked in developmental engineering, program management and systems safety management.
"I always had a deep desire to be in a field that's not only challenging, but allows me to make a difference in people's lives," said Dr. Siddiqui. "I enjoyed my experience in the Air Force, but I was looking for a new career."
Medicine seemed like a natural fit. But it wasn't an easy decision.
"Deciding to go to medical school was tough. I wasn't a traditional student. I was in my 30s, I was thinking about family and finances," said Dr. Siddiqui. "You just need to have some faith in yourself, make sure you are working as hard as you can, and make the best of the opportunities given to you. It requires a lot of planning. You need to think about if you were to have a setback during your education, how would you manage that, and how would you get back on track. Then, if you do run into any obstacles, you'll be prepared."
Dr. Siddiqui credits his family, friends and AUC network for supporting him throughout his journey to MD.
"I'm grateful to my wife, parents, colleagues, all the professors at AUC and the physicians who helped me become the physician that I am," Dr. Siddiqui said. "I've loved every bit of my experience," said Dr. Siddiqui.
After residency, he plans to pursue a career as a hospitalist.

Why This Award-Winning News Anchor Enrolled at AUC
By the time he reached his 30s, Bradley Reed was by all accounts on the right track. He was working as a primetime news anchor in his home state of Arkansas. He won two Emmy Awards. He was engaged to be married.
But something was missing.

Okay so it wasnt a tv show but it was on TV. During the closing ceremony of the Olympics they had 2 chinese kids who were drumming and the commentators said the one kid had a Ringo Starr haircut and perhaps it was an allusion to passing the torch to Britain since the Beatles were from England.
I couldnt get a good look at it from the angles they were shooting at but I highly doubt that was the point of this kid's haircut. Whatever! It was still amusing to hear from someone like Bob Costas, lol!

Whether you are a paid mentor/coach or a volunteer I believe the act of mentoring another is at its core an altruistic one. To be successful at this act one must connect at some level with the person across the room. Ideally a mentor would be open, at peace with themselves and kind. Sure there are your 'gruff' coaches here and there (mostly in the sports world :) ). But business and executive coaching require a certain finesse. One must be balanced and centered before one can balance and center others.
Now I am more of a Type A personality. Type A's are usually very hard on themselves in their never ending quest for over achievement. But a lesson a mentor taught me long ago was to be kind to myself. When you are kind to yourself then you can more easily by kind to others. It's akin to the famous saying "charity begins at home". I thought about that for a long while and decided there was much truth in that. As an example, if one is constantly judging oneself against high standards doesn't it follow that this same person will likely be judgmental of others? Being judgmental rarely brings out the best in people.
Be healthy - exercise! Among the many benefits of exercise is the release of endorphins which help relieve stress and make you feel good. As you feel good so will the people around you! Have you ever been around grumpy people and felt it rub off a little? Well the opposite is true. Positivity can also be contagious. Would you go to a mentor who is always in an unhealthy or unhappy place? Probably not. Go for a run, do yoga, lift weights, climb stairs, etc. Don't just carry a mobile device - be a mobile device yourself and move around!!
Be patient - slow down! Slowing down helps reduce stress in a number of ways. First it allows you time to take in what you are experiencing in the moment. It also allows you time to prepare for upcoming events rather than being rushed. When you slow down you can more easily find a natural balance. Being patient with yourself and others is also critical when working with a mentee as it creates a calming space for them to share whatever they are dealing with at that time. It's hard to be deep when you feel you're in a rush. To slow down some people learn to meditate others simply pack less activities in their day. Still others re-examine their life goals and make sure they are overall realistic. Whatever you do make 'being patient' a priority and you may notice it will start to happen naturally.
Have fun - this may be the most important of the 3 values! Make sure to treat yourself to something, however small, every day. Perhaps it's a glass of wine, favorite tv show, trashy novel, surfing the web, phone call to a best friend or a simple walk in the park. There are enough stressful things out there we each have to deal with on a daily basis that I think it's key to reward oneself in some way every day. Having fun also involves not taking everything so seriously and laughing often and much.
Given that I'm Type A I am of course still perfecting my approach to being kind to myself and I still haven't gotten good enough yet :) . But I've come a long way since taking a step back and learning that kindness, both inwards and outwards, can make all the difference!


The lifespan of Camille Saint-Saëns accompanies an astonishing musical history beginning with the music of Mendelssohn, Chopin and Schumann and ending with the Jazz Age encapsulating Wagner, Debussy and Schoenberg in between. This timeframe spans the classical, romantic and modern periods and also witnesses the rise of French music in the modern canon of the classics. Saint-Saëns was a child prodigy who, at his public debut as a pianist at the age of 10, played a Mozart concerto and, for an encore, offered to play any of the 32 Beethoven sonatas from memory. He was a masterful organist who no less than Franz Liszt considered the greatest, particularly for his improvisations. Saint-Saëns was once considered quite "avant-garde" for championing the music of Liszt and Wagner particularly to his disapproving French countrymen despite his clever prowess in sight-reading their revolutionary orchestral scores at the piano. Yet, over time, Saint-Saëns developed an aversion to the march of historical innovation gradually despising the music of Wagner as well as his own compatriots Franck and Debussy. Eventually, he would be considered conservative, then a reactionary, hopelessly "classical" in his outlook and style. As performer and composer, all agreed that Saint-Saëns was a versatile and prolific master craftsman of great refinement and technical accomplishment, leading Berlioz to famously quip, "He knows everything, but lacks inexperience." Yet, his historical reputation has suffered leaving us familiar with only a few chestnuts such as The Carnival of Animals, the "Organ" Symphony and a handful other orchestral and piano showpieces of great appeal and aplomb.
Nonetheless, Saint-Saëns wrote some very beautiful chamber music including two wonderful piano trios, a piano quartet and two string quartets written quite late in life, all of this unquestionably underplayed. Curiously, Saint-Saëns, who composed successfully in all the major classical forms and genres, did not turn to the esteemed string quartet until the age of 64 writing his first quartet on the brink of the 20th century in 1899 (six years after Debussy's quartet). Saint-Saëns wrote his second and final string quartet some twenty years later in 1919 at the age of 84 (now many years after Ravel's quartet). This may be one reason that Saint-Saëns gets overlooked: while history now had quartets by Debussy, Ravel, Schoenberg Webern, Bartók and even Stravinsky, Saint-Saëns produced two lovely quartets that sounded much like Mendelssohn, Schumann and even Mozart, music not particularly "of his time."
The String Quartet No. 2 in G major is a striking and skillful work of great charm and expression that is probably the finer of Saint-Saëns two quartets. It comprises three movements in modest "classical" proportions approximating the length of a string quartet from Mozart or Haydn with similar buoyancy, vitality, sparkle and transparency leading many to call Saint-Saëns "neo-classical." The first movement is strikingly reminiscent of Mozart in his quartets dedicated to Haydn not only in thematic and expressive materials but also in use of primary motifs leading to fugal developments with dramatic contrapuntal textures. Saint-Saëns streamlines the sonata form by omitting the traditional repeat and telescoping the sense of development and variation.
The slow movement is more languid and sensual, suggesting Mozart's chromaticisims as well as the modal exoticism of both Debussy and Ravel. At the same time, there is something pure and fundamental in the harmonic repose contrasting with the smoky perfume of a slight orientalism: a brief suggestion of Wagner's Lohengrin, Beethoven's late quartets, a holy grail. The third and final movement begins with a brief, introductory "interlude", once again featuring that special chromatic indolence that is both Mozart and French with just a tinge of unresolved dissonance. The main body of the finale arrives with a whimsical pizzicato suggesting the pre-performance tuning of instruments in simple open fifths. The music assumes an animated rondo elegant and playful with a broad palette of figurations, flourishes and rich textures that escalate into the perpetual motion of a fugato and resolve with the finesse of classical cadences in the finely feathered gestures idiomatic of the string quartet. The vitality and effervescence of this music betrays nothing of the 84 year-old composer nor does its elegant "neo-classicism" suggest the soon-to-emerge modernity of 1920's Paris. Rather, it is a classic, regardless and in spite of its time, a marvelous quartet for all time.
For many, it may come as a shock to learn that Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921), the famous orchestral composer, devoted a great deal of time and effort to writing chamber music. Not only does he have two string quartets to his credit, but he also wrote three works for piano trio, a serenade for piano, organ, violin and viola ( or cello), a quintet for piano, two violins, viola and cello, a Caprice on Danish & Russian Aires for piano, flute, oboe and B flat clarinet and his Septet for piano, trumpet, two violins, viola, cello and bass. It might further surprise you to know that Saint-Saëns didn't attempt his first string quartet until 1899, at the ripe old age of sixty four. His second effort in the medium didn't materialize until he was eighty four!
The Second Quartet was composed in 1919. Although written on a relatively small scale (it only has three movements), it is written with great mastery and exhibits exemplary clarity of thematic material. Clearly, Saint-Saëns was neither trying to scale the heights nor plunge to the depths of emotion in this work. To the contrary, he seems intent on writing a sunny, playful work--extraordinary, really, for an octogenarian. The first movement, Allegro animato, begins in the form of an introductory fanfare. The main theme has the perfume of Mozart about it, of course, in an updated, neo-classical style. The second movement, Molto adagio, has traces of North African melody and of harmonic motion that he almost certainly came across during his many trips to Algeria and Tunisia. The last movement, Andantino-Allegretto molto, is quite light-hearted with several short, scurrying fugues that bear witness to the fact that Saint-Saëns must have enjoyed writing this music.

The Roles of WordPress Development
tommcfarlin
. September 14, 2020
In the last three posts, I've spoken a bit about the salaries of WordPress developers, why they may be lower than traditional software developers, and some of the expectations that come with what a WordPress developer may be (depending on their role).
I've shared:
A WordPress Developer Salary Should Be…?
WordPress Developer Salary: Manage That Content
Of Salaries and Software Development with WordPress
In the last post, I talked a bit about the responsibilities and expectations of a traditional software developer and how that may relate to WordPress. And earlier, I briefly talked about the terms a "developer" and an "implementer" both of which I think are applicable in the WordPress space.
But first, it's worth noting that many WordPress developers are people who are building themes and/or plugins. At this point in WordPress' history, people still aren't seeing it as something that can be used to build web applications (let alone mobile applications) so it's seen more as something that bloggers, frontend developers, and maybe some middle-ware developers are used to doing.
And all of that is correct – but there is more to it than what's listed above.
The Roles of WordPress Developers
As mentioned, someone who works with WordPress may be someone who:
Manages content or writes for a blog
Creates themes or manages frontend work for an existing organization
Writes plugins to create custom functionality for an existing organization (or for others to use)
At this point, hopefully it's obviously that those aren't the only roles that are possible when it comes to work with WordPress.
The Expectations For WordPress Developers
With that said, I think it's worth taking a slightly deeper look at what each role requires and/or how it may be understood within the industry and with how it relates to WordPress.
If a person is capable of building a theme from the ground up by implementing, say, a set of PSDs, then I would assume they are familiar with the templating system, the template hierarchy, partials, and the template tags that go along with building a theme.
I would also assume a level of frontend development experience with all the usual languages, and some PHP experience – at least enough to work with the standard hooks in WordPress or to know where to look them up and how to take advantage of the documentation.
It's not that churning out themes is mindless (no more than a person makes it, and those who care don't make it so) – it's that there's a methodology to it. A pattern, even (because we all love patterns, right?).
There are some incredibly beautiful and even complex themes that are out there. Those aren't built by people who don't care about the work they do.
When it comes to plugins, I would assume a level of experience and knowledge that exists about the available WordPress hooks. I don't assume a person to have memorized them all (I mean, maybe they should – if that's the case, then I'm in trouble), but I do assume that they've an understanding of how it works, how to implement their own, how to remove those that exist, and how to take advantage of those that exist.
Furthermore, I also assume they're familiar with the two ways of writing plugins (that is, procedural and object-oriented programming), and they know the tradeoffs that each offers.
For more advanced plugin developers, I would assume anything from a level of application-layer to the presentation-layer (so not "full stack" as they say – just "half stack" :), all the way to an understand of everything from the database upwards.
Plugins can be as simple as a few functions or as elaborate as a variety of classes, libraries, and various pieces working together to create the entire experience for the user. In fact, I'd argue that many plugins can be considered to be "apps for WordPress."
That's something for another post, I suppose.
If someone is capable of building applications with WordPress then I would assume they are familiar and even capable with everything that's listed above, and more.
I think this person should have a solid understanding of classical software development, perhaps experience in another set of languages, tools, frameworks, and so on, and should also be able to think in terms of solving a problem in platform-agnostic terms and then being able to translate that solution into "the WordPress way," or "the Rails way," or "the .NET way," and so on.
It's about being able to architect and engineer solutions in terms of abstractions and then being to concretely implement them given a languages, foundation, or framework.
There Is Probably More
Obviously, this is more of a cursory look at some of the different types of developers or different types of roles that exist within WordPress – this isn't meant to be some type of job description post listing the requirements for each role.
If anything, it's meant to help shape the conversation around what the expectations of a WordPress developer are based on the type of work they'll be doing. So I know there are things that aren't covered and I know things aren't as detailed as they could be, but this meant to be a start.
Besides, I'm interested in anything the rest of you have to add because you've likely more experience than I do especially as it relates to having to hire a variety of people or work with a large team of others in WordPress.

Q: Facebook Messages access via imap Does anybody know if is possible to access facebook messages via imap or pop to manage facebook messages within an email client?

A: No, this is not possible. Only the publicly documented APIs are available.
See especially the inbox connection of the User object

A: This Article propose a way to read and store facebook message:
The process is done through the following steps:

*

*Logging in : Logging in might be one of the trickier parts. The way you login to an IMAP server is to use the following command:
LOGIN username password

*Listing folders : The command you'd issue to the IMAP server is:
LIST "" *

Since we know from the Mailbox folder API description, there are only
  three folders. These folders are:
Inbox (folder_id 0)
Outbox (folder_id 1)
Updates (folder_id 4)

With this in mind, we can hard code the following response to the list
  command:
LIST (\HasChildren) "/" Inbox
LIST (\HasChildren) "/" Outbox
LIST (\HasChildren) "/" Updates

*

*Selecting a folder : In IMAP, you use the following command to select a folder:
SELECT folder-name

*Getting message content: The key in getting messages trough IMAP is a command named FETCH. The FETCH command comes with a lot of
  different modes, but we'll focus on the most fundamental ones. These
  are (AFAIK) FLAGS, RFC822, RFC822.HEADER, RFC822.TEXT, RFC822.SIZE and
  UID. Since RFC822 is just RFC822.HEADER and RFC822.TEXT combined, we
  have one less variable to worry about.

*FETCH UID Let's start with UID, as this is the easiest one. You'd issue this command as follows:
FETCH 1:6 (UID)
The expected result would look something like this:
1 FETCH (UID 1029955483)
2 FETCH (UID 1029955484)
3 FETCH (UID 1029955485)
4 FETCH (UID 1029955486)
5 FETCH (UID 1029955487)
6 FETCH (UID 1029955488)

The equivalent command in Facebook's API would be something like this
  (I'm not sure if it's possible to combine queries like this, but you
  get the idea):
SELECT message_id FROM message WHERE thread_id IN (SELECT thread_id FROM thread WHERE folder_id = 0)

You would then use that output as the UID.

More operations are available in http://www.emailserviceguide.com/2010/01/making-facebooks-messaging-system-imap-compatible/

Geno Auriemma ties Pat Summitt with win No. 1,098 as UConn crushes Providence
Doug Bonjour
Jan. 9, 2021 Updated: Jan. 9, 2021 8:14 p.m.
UConn coach Geno Auriemma shouts from the sideline during the first half against Providence on Saturday.

UConn's Paige Bueckers, right, drives against Providence guard Chanell Williams during the first half on Saturday.
UConn's Paige Bueckers, left, and Christyn Williams warm up before Saturday's game against Providence in Storrs.
STORRS — It wasn't as dominant as many of Geno Auriemma's wins over his Hall of Fame career. Not even close. At times, it was a slog.
But it was enough.
Third-ranked UConn overcame a slow start to beat Providence 87-50 on Saturday at Gampel Pavilion, moving Auriemma into a tie with Tennessee legend Pat Summitt for second on the all-time wins list with 1,098.
"I would like to think that if you've done something for 37 years that you're going to have some milestones," Auriemma said. "If you're fortunate enough you have some pretty important milestones, and if you are lucky enough to be surrounded by the people that I've been surrounded with, there are actual meaningful milestones."
Auriemma is 1,098-142 over 36 seasons at UConn, including 7-0 this year, and his .885 winning percentage is an NCAA record. He will have an opportunity to move past Summitt on Wednesday when UConn hosts Seton Hall. Stanford's Tara VanDerveer, also currently active, holds the record with 1,104.
His latest win didn't come without some early frustration. Playing their first game in 11 days and just the second in 18, the Huskies were noticeably rusty. They went nearly the first four minutes without scoring and didn't sink their first basket until 5:04 in. Providence forced six turnovers during that stretch and led 7-1, prompting Auriemma to shake up his lineup.
He subbed out every starter with the except of freshman Paige Bueckers, who would score 14 of her game-high 23 points in the first half. She finished 8 of 10 from the floor and added five assists and four rebounds.
"We just started off the game slow," Bueckers said. "I don't know what it was. They just got off to a really good start and we didn't."
Added Auriemma: "We put a group of players out that there picked up the tempo, and that's what changed the game. It was really that simple."
Sophomore Aubrey Griffin, who recently has been battling back spasms, came off the bench to collect 18 points and nine rebounds in 24 minutes — all season highs.
Also finishing in double figures were Evina Westbrook (13), Olivia Nelson-Ododa (11) and Aaliyah Edwards (10), who started for the first time in place of Anna Makurat.
"It's just going in and doing what I know I can do, just staying confident," Griffin said of her performance.
A 3-pointer by Makurat gave the Huskies their first lead at 13-12. They stayed ahead 19-18 going into the second quarter, then stretched it to 46-29 at halftime.
"When they came into the game, things changed," Auriemma told SNY at halftime of his lineup, which at one point consisted of five underclassmen, including freshmen Bueckers, Mir McLean and Nika Muhl. "There was an uptick in our level of intensity and our whole work ethic. … I was really disappointed in that first group when the game started."
Auriemma said Nelson-Ododa and Christyn Williams, in particular, need to play better. Williams, the Big East Preseason Player of the Year, didn't attempt a single shot and played only 13 minutes.
"It's not that simple," he said. "It's not that complicated."
Kyra Spiwak and Alyssa Geary finished with 10 points apiece to lead Providence (5-7).
Auriemma left the huddle during a break in the third quarter and handed his clipboard to freshman walk-on Autumn Chassion.
"You know Autumn got a 4.0 (GPA)?" Auriemma said of Chassion, who was valedictorian of her senior high school class in Louisiana. "I have never got a 4.0 so I thought maybe the players would know that and they'd be more interested in listening to someone who was smarter than them and smarter than me, because what I was saying wasn't really registering."
Auriemma moved Makurat to the bench to take off some pressure and get her going. While she seemed more comfortable, shooting 3 of 5 from the floor, Auriemma indicated that he'd prefer to get her back into the starting lineup before too long.
"I'll have to rethink that," he said. "We'll see."
GOOD HUMOR
Bueckers interrupted Auriemma's postgame Zoom conference to ask him what type of hair product he uses.
"It looks good," she said.
"Why are you surprised?" he responded. "When you get hair as nice as mine you can have my product."
Notes: Auriemma said he's more concerned about reaching the minimum games threshold to qualify for the NCAA Tournament than he is about his 1,098 career wins: "Today was game No. 7 for us. I'm just trying to get to game No. 13." …Williams was presented with an honorary game ball for scoring her 1,000th career point Dec. 29 against DePaul.

Action-packed and thrill-filled movie "Big Game" introduces young Finnish talent Onni Tommila who stars alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Ray Stevenson, Victor Garber, Ted Levine, Felicity Huffman and Jim Broadbent as a 13-year old who comes of age and courage in the most unexpected adventure of his life.
Tommila takes on the role of Oskari, a teenager ushered into manhood as their tradition dictates when they reach the age of 13. Oskari is then sent into the wilderness alone and must survive the wild creatures that roam at night, ultimately he has to hunt and bring home a prized beast before dawn to pass their family's tradition. Just as he begins wandering into the wild, he hears a thundering sound and finds out that Air Force One, the US president's plane has just crashed after a terrorist strike. Within minutes after the crash, Oskari is plunged into a desperate race to save not only his life but the President's (Samuel Jackson) as well. Both fish out of water, forced to fight for survival in a world very different from the one they're used to, they must work together to get out of the forest alive.
Jackson believes the action provides the backdrop for a very human story about the relationship between a teenage boy and the most powerful man in the world. When Oskari first comes across the President, he feels he's failing miserably at his task, but finds comfort in seeing that the President is just as scared as him. Oskari learns that it's okay to be frightened and in trouble; the one thing that matters is what is he prepared to do about it.
Director Jalmari and his cast and crew have created an exciting film which will surprise and enthrall audiences and critics. Producing "Big Game" is Altitude's Will Clarke who says of the movie, "Big Game has been a big film in every way, from developing the concept of an action adventure driven by a young hero from a culture rooted in nature pitted against the modern world through to handling the pure logistics of making a film of this scale in remote and demanding locations.
"Big Game" now open in cinemas from Pioneer Films.

With Roman origins, the town sits at the confluence of two major Roman routes i.e the Fosse Way and Ermin Street and this has ensured the town's prominence ever since. Much evidence of the Roman occupation is still to be found all around. Being the gateway to the Cotswold Hills, the town is well placed to access some of the prettiest settlements in England such as Bibury, Bourton on the Water and the string of villages along the Coln valley including Chedworth, Ablington and Winson. Whilst the high Wolds are found to the North, West and East, to the South the increasingly popular Cotswold Water Park provides a great range of water sports and leisure facilities. There is also an exceptional choice of both private and state schools within the area making this an excellent area for growing families.
Property Available
As may be expected, there is a choice of traditional Cotswold stone housing to be found, ranging from modest cottages to splendid country houses, with demand quite frequently outstripping supply. Fortunately, as this is a prosperous area, there is also a huge choice of more contemporary housing stock ranging from flats through to larger and more individual detached homes thus ensuring a wide choice of quality housing for all.

Laboratory of Vestibular Neurophysiology
The mission of the laboratory of vestibular neurophysiology is to advance the understanding of how the body perceives head motion and maintains balance - a complex and vital function of everyday life.
Work in this lab seeks to define the physiology of the vestibular system, which informs the brain about the body's motion and orientation. The vestibular part of the inner ear contains receptors that gather information about the movement of the head. The brain combines this information with signals from the eye and from the sense of touch to assemble a perception of how the body is moving through space. The body responds to this perceived movement with reflexes that maintain balance. For instance, turning your head leads to reflex eye movements that enable you to keep looking steadily ahead. Tilting your head to one side (as might happen when you begin to fall) causes reflexes leg muscle contractions that keep you standing.
Although much is known about the vestibular part of the inner ear, key aspects of how the vestibular receptors perceive, process and report essential information are still mysterious. Increasing our understanding of this process will have tremendous impact on quality of life of patients with vestibular disorders, who often suffer terrible discomfort from dizziness and vertigo.
The laboratory group's basic science research focuses on the vestibulo-ocular reflexes - the reflexes that move the eyes in response to motions of the head. They do this by studying the vestibular sensors and nerve cells that provide input to the reflexes; by studying eye movements in humans and animals with different vestibular disorders, by studying effects of electrical stimulation of vestibular sensors, and by using mathematical models to describe these reflexes. Researchers are particularly interested in abnormalities of the brain's inability to compensate for vestibular disorders.
The lab's staff includes many clinicians who provide direct patient care, including neuro-otologic surgeons, neurologists, and rehabilitation therapists. Because a central goal of their work is translating scientific discovery into advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients, the questions driving the laboratory research often stem from interactions with patients in the clinic. Their work has led to the development of a new and effective surgery for the balance disorder called superior canal dehiscence syndrome and has helped optimize treatment for the disabling condition known as Ménière's disease. Learn more about the recent findings.

Research | Dipartimento di Diritto pubblico italiano e sovranazionale
The research activity of the Department will concentrate on the following subjects:
1) The interaction between different legal systems and the regulations issued by bodies having rule and decision making power at national and international level.
In particular, the Department will focus its attention on the national and supranational sources of law, not only from the point of view of the adoption of rules, but also from the perspective of the progressive erosion of national sovereignty and the issues linked to the harmonization of different legal systems.
2) The interdisciplinary problems related to the right allocation of powers, the accountability, the legality of decisions made at different levels.
The consistency among diverse legal systems as concerns the substantive normative harmony and the right balance between public and private interests, also in relation with the issues connected to national and transnational form of government.
3) Problems concerning multilevel regulation on the protection of rights of persons and groups from a substantive and procedural point of view and the way through which national, supranational and international jurisdictional bodies manage these subjects.
The research activity will focus on the issues related to the people integration process with an eye to the changing perspective of the protection of individual and group rights. Also the influence of the development of science and technology on law application in daily life will be object of study.
4) Questions related to the current meaning of the rule of law. Researches will address the way to put the participatory democracy and social justice principles at the centre of law and decision making process. In particular, important areas of interest will be those of equal opportunities, gender perspectives and discriminations.
5) Topics regarding the evolution of techniques of judicial protection of rights, the alternative means of settling disputes through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration and problems related to the enforcement of individual or collective measures of judicial protection.

OMG & My Dad
by Seshu Chamarty
Of late I was watching Hindi movies PK and OMG. They involved some questions on the god. Returning home, I wondered my revered father was no different than the protagonists in the said movies. Why, he even exceeded them by a good measure. The subject of god is very personal, and so I don't want to tread on any controversial lines, but just narrate the connection my late father had with 'his god'.
One day he was walking towards a temple entrance. His wife followed him, a few paces behind. And that was the norm for a couple out in the open in those days. He felt a shower falling on his head. He checked with his wife and she acquiesced, like always. Lo, he boasted to one and all that it was the god who sprinkled on him the holy water from the nearby temple tank.
Like a doctor with some reservations on the purity of water bodies near temples, he avoided them, although he never questioned their holiness. He used to narrate scores of such miracles to whoever he interacted with. Some of his tales happened to be real (namely fortuitous I say rather), and some were purely concocted. Yet we all 'believed' him nevertheless, for he was a simple and credible man with a sound value system of his dos and don'ts while keeping an honest track record. Not believing him would amount to doubting his integrity and also discounting all the faith that the society bestowed on him.
All our kith and kin consider him as a cult figure even till date. He is a holy man by his word and deed which he proved all his life. He used to practice what he preached, and never was off his guard even in sleep. He used to be a disciplinarian—up to 90 percent of time. With regard to the rest of the time, well, he blamed it on certain circumstances and people in his life whom he detested badly for no known reason. Ironically, his list 'persona non grata' used to be dynamic, with the names changing every now and then.
Many of his idiosyncrasies apart, I had to bear with his senility in his later days. But I should say he lived his life to the full and scripted his life story in all the minds and hearts he knew, including the door-to-door salesmen in his affable and unparalleled ways. He had no regrets about what life did not give, yet he wanted to settle his score with god for not granting his 'bucket list wishes' which are mostly hypothetical. He used to defend his views on everything under the sun and say that his words were no less than Vedas and he found no one as pious as him and also that he was none else than "god's eldest son". All these he used to say with a straight face.
To my father (May he RIP), god was created for his convenience, lest he should be no god. He worshiped his many gods in the temples and home alike. He followed some self-styled procedures in prayers, which were like the way he dressed, dined and walked about. Sometimes he bathed in the mornings and other times in the evening. He would appease the souls of his ancestors on their death anniversaries by engaging priests religiously and sometimes did the rites in freestyle by himself.
As children we had to face an unpleasant situation at our school, when the priest at a temple, who was our math teacher so doubled up, scolded us for having received my father's wrath while he was at the temple. In the sanctum sanctorum my father took from the pundit the holy theerth (holy water). But soon after our dad complained to the temple management that the said priest distributed his sweat along with the holy water, from out of the silver container he held near his armpit. Since my father was a senior government doctor, the temple suspended his priest duties. Whenever a religious ceremony was conducted, we underwent some tense moments that my father might find fault with the way the mantras wrongly recited by the priests, as was his wont.
My father went out of his way to give succor to many a needy patient by doling out expert medical help, along with money and personalized services besides shelter, food, etc. My father rose from humble beginnings, and through his sheer conviction and perseverance became a medical doctor around the time India got independence. He was about five feet tall and wore 'unassuming' but traditional clothes at home. When patients strayed into our home for the consults instead of the regular hospital, he used to make them sit in our front room acting like an usher. After dressing himself elaborately in tie and white shirt he would go back and announce himself as Doctor so-and-so. For him work used to be real worship and he never tolerated the faults of his colleagues.
His library consisted of diaries, bounded snail mail saved from his childhood days along with the bills and receipts, a Merck manual, and Hindu prayer books. There used to be a copy of bible and some astrology books with his own scribbling on them. I am skeptical about his interest in the latter, for I never saw him forgiving anyone totally, nor followed any auspicious moments to begin anything new.
In his opinion, if a man or woman had faulted in his case, there should be no room for clemency from him, and reconsidering his opinion on them would be a bigger sin by itself. But when the time comes to help them he would forget the list. No one had the gumption to question his logic.
He had his way to the last till he was in his seventies. He refused to go to the hospital to get examined for his health. He used to say that he himself was a doctor and the god-like persona in him corroborated his self-diagnosis. On one late evening he stepped out of my home with the aid of his walking stick to crosscheck with his doctor friend at the latter's clinic for his suspected gastric pain and succumbed to his heart attack in the ambulance on the way to a bigger hospital. In his mind he was an Alexander and Asoka in one. He never owned a vehicle or house, but he never deprived himself of good food and minimum comforts. He was a common man with great intellect.
He saved many lives by pulling his patients out of near-death events as an anesthetist. To him god was an entity supreme only in the mind and all those serving Him must be His agents on board.

Comparison illustrates design differences and should not be used or understood as a contrasting of advantages of one model over another. Lighting, shooting angle and other factors may affect the appearance of the model.
When it comes to comparing Porsche 911 with other models general rule of thumb dictates that you simply can't compare it to any other sports car because of its uniqueness in design and engine placement.
Mercedes-AMG GT S is powered by 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which is placed behind the front axle and produces 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Porsche 911 Turbo, on the other hand, has its 3.8-liter 6-cylinder bi-turbo engine - which produces 540 horsepower (580 hp for Turbo S) - placed behind the rear axle.
Shapes of the two supercars are incomparable, although rear-end designs resemble some similarities in their tail-light styling. Interior of the 911 Turbo looks humble, as it's meant to be, compared to the AMG GT S, which has a rather futuristic interior design.
So is the AMG GT S comparable to the 911 Turbo? Apparently not yet, as it has to get some more muscle to be able to beat 911 Turbo's 3.0 second 0 to 60 mph sprint time. Mercedes-AMG GT S reaches 60 mph from standstill in 3.7 seconds, which is more of a 911 GTS territory. Porsche 911 Turbo is priced from $159,200 in the US, which is around $30k over AMG GT S' starting price.
Verdict: until a more powerful version of the Mercedes-AMG GT S comes out, compare it to a Porsche 911 GTS, which is a better fit for the competition, both price- and performance-wise.


Does anyone have any experience with a Peavey Session 400 Limited as a steel amp? I wanted to get some feedback on how the limited performs as a steel amp?
I think the reason they weren't too popular is because of it's brittle tone characteristics. It's a tough one to dial in. I have a few different amps. I put the upgrade IC chips in the limited, but it didn't help a lot. I've managed to get a descent tone out of it, but only if I use it with a JBL D-130F speaker. It's my practice amp. I'm sure I could use it on a job if I eq'd it with my Fuhrman PQ-3. My 1974 Session 400 is much fatter and softer highs.
1976 Birdseye U-12 MSA with Telonics 427 pickup, 1982 U-12 Zum with Truetone pickup wound 18K, Revelation Preamp, TC Electronic M-350 Processor, Carvin HT 400 Stereo Rack Head, 15" Eminence EPS-15C, ShoBud Pedal, 1949 Epiphone D-8. And, too much extra gear.
The 400 Limited is designed as a steel guitar amp with a 15" Black Widow steel guitar speaker, but as Peavey's line of steel guitar amps go, this one is considered by many players to be the least desirable.
Posted 7 Feb 2019 5:54 pm Nothing Wrong with a Session 400 Limited.
I use mine for high power gigs, outside, big venues, and have never had a problem with the tone. I would like to find an old LTD, just to have a smaller footprint on stage. I always carry an extra amp for guitar when using the Peavey. If I only have room for one amp, the Fender amps (Twin, Pro Reverb, Deluxe Reverb) gets the call.
I had one for several years. Aside from being heavy it was dry sounding regardless of the settings. I had a chip mod job done and that made very little difference so I sold the thing. I guess it depends on what sound you're going for. I look for sweet, musical sounding amps that have warmth without sacrificing crispness and transparency. The Session Limited didn't do it for me at all.
From where I sit, the Session 400 was/is the "heralded" the golden icon by pro players and weekenders such as myself. I do own one and play through it on live gigs. None better sounding. However, there are newer amplifiers that sound as good, as we steel players are always seeking that "elusive" tone. Short of the original Session 400, I don't believe that any company has caught it yet, but we sure try.
I've worked with pro's and weekenders alike, and all remember the Session 400 as being the "one". However, as time goes by and technology changes, our hearing changes, the original Session will always be remembered.
Mike, it looks like the OP is referring to the Session 400 Limited rather than the Session 400. I've never had a chance to use a Session 400 but I've heard nothing but good about them from players whose opinion I trust. The Session 400 Limited is a different animal altogether as you certainly know. It doesn't have the same electronics, sound or reputation. I'm not anti-Peavey. I've had two Nashville 112s which I really like. Some day I hope to pick up an old Session 400 in good shape as well.
The Session 400 Limited is much different than the original Session 400.
This one has the JBL D 130 and sounds really good. I also have a Session 400 Limited which I've done the chip upgrade and I've changed the speaker to. Neo. Sounds pretty good as well and lots of power! Much too heavy to be a gigging amp. I think I'm going to build a cab for the amp and speaker and try to sell.


People are so interested in learning to make hollow glass beads on the end of a hollow mandrel or small blow pipe- myself included! Thanks to a wonderful bead making buddy, I was shown a way to do it that is pretty cool, without the use of diamond shears. Many people can do this better than I can~ I am still learning, but this video will show the basics, along with ways to recover from some errors that I guarantee will happen to you too!
Here is my youtube video in all its glory!
* Make your first wrap of glass nice and thin and right at the very end of the mandrel and it will pull off much better and have a good hole with less fooling around.
* I start with a small coiled bead or cup bead, very similar to the way a hollow bead might be made on a mandrel. That way there is a little bubble built in from the start.
* First build a little bead, blow a bubble in, and then add more glass and decorate before shaping and blowing it the final time. The starter bubble is nice, just to be sure you are really going to have a bubble in the bead.
bead out of the flame, point it down for a moment and then point the mandrel to the ceiling so it will be a little stiffer on the outside. In reality, I point down and begin to blow, then move up to the vertical blowing position to finish.
* Make the tungsten pick really hot before plunging in into the bead. Turn up your flame if necessary- white hot is good! Make sure to keep the bead warm behind the flame so it won't crack. Look down the bead through the hole once you've plunged the pick through to be sure it is nicely opened up. If not, try again.
* When you are ready to pull the bead off of the mandrel, be sure to only heat the mandrel, not the bead. Don't let the hot fingers get in the flame, or they will stick to and mar the bead.
I was not going to put this video up because of all the mistakes I made, but then decided, what the heck~ everyone is going to make some of these errors!
Here are some video links to folks who really know what they're doing!
Well, I finally did it! After many requests and loads of questions from folks, I have written down everything I know about curving glass tube beads my way, which is in the kiln! If you look at the etsy listing for the booklet, you will see that there are a lot of disclaimers. Why? Because it will take some work for each person to get it right. This is not a tut in the traditional sense, but rather instructions, suggestions, a lot of information on what might go wrong and why and happy photos of some of the beads I have made using this method. It's written in more of a workshop style, with loads of information. I've really tried to include everything I've learned as I've explored this method over the years. Tester questions are answered and details I've explored are explained. I am happy to answer questions and lend support where needed.
Is it easy? Well, yes and no. Making the bead is fairly simple, and I have provided two short photo tuts to help with that bit. Curving them after they're made is a bit of a nail biter because issues can arise. This method of curving in a kiln came about through the help of a glass fusing friend of mine. It took a lot of fooling around and changes before I got a method I was really satisfied with.
I have tried some other methods and read up on others. I've had more success with this method than with the 'Tom & Sage' method (which is pretty cool) or using a curved mandrel. The curved mandrel has a few problems in my book- first it is not really all that curved, secondly it is darn hard to get the beads off, and thirdly it is simply difficult to build a bead on a mandrel that is not straight! There is also a method where the bead is built on something flexible and curved while it's hot. Sounds interesting though I have not tried it ~ it sounds a bit scary and I don't like the texture left inside by the flexible rope!
