Knighthawks top Toronto to register first win
@salmaiorana
Dan Dawson scored a goal as he played in his 200th consecutive NLL game.
Cody Jamieson scored Rochester's final two goals in the last six minutes of the game.
Goalie Matt Vinc made 47 saves while Toronto's Brandon Miller made 41.
There wasn't a whole lot that was pretty about Saturday night's game, but the three-time defending National Lacrosse League champions didn't much care.
The Rochester Knighthawks finally broke into the win column with a rugged, hard-fought 8-6 victory over East Division rival Toronto in front of 6,745 fans at Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial.
"That one's on the defense, they kept us in that game," said forward Dan Dawson, who while playing in his 200th consecutive game scored the tying goal with 6:34 remaining that ignited a three-goal run by the Knighthawks to close it out. "They knew we were fighting the ball all night. That's what they usually do, but they really stayed with it and they gave us a chance to get ours at the end and thank goodness we popped them in when we needed to."
The Knighthawks have come to specialize in these low-scoring games, and their defense-first style has been the key to the unprecedented championship three-peat. Now in their 21st season, they have played only 14 regular-season games where neither team reached double-digit goals, and five of those have occurred since the start of 2014.
"Tonight we grinded one out," said coach Mike Hasen, who has uttered that refrain frequently during his magnificent coaching tenure. "That was an entertaining game; the referees let us play, there weren't too many penalties, they called what they had to call and it was old-school lacrosse, back and forth, banging and crashing."
In other words, ugly. And victorious.
The first half resembled a Buffalo-New Jersey NHL game from the late 1990s with Dominik Hasek and Martin Brodeur matching save after save after save. The teams combined to attempt 74 shots, 44 were on goal, and only four got past Rochester's Matt Vinc and Toronto's Brandon Miller.
This, of course, continued a trend this season for the lackluster Rochester offense. Coming off a gruesome seven-goal effort in their lopsided loss to New England two weeks ago, the Knighthawks have now played 12 quarters this year, and in four they scored only one goal.
That happened in each of the first two periods Saturday as defenseman Paul Dawson - bet you didn't see that coming — scored in transition late in the first, and Cory Vitarelli whipped home a low shot from the right wing late in the second to tie the game at 2-2.
"Two weeks off, it took a little time to get going, and once we were going, we felt comfortable," said Cody Jamieson, who scored Rochester's final two goals that produced the margin of victory. "We were hitting a lot of pipes and Miller played awesome and he was stopping a lot of shots that we thought were going to go in."
The teams each scored twice in the third, and Toronto (3-1) opened a 6-5 lead with 8:58 left to play on a goal by Stephan Leblanc that came right after Rochester (1-2) rang three consecutive shots off goal posts on one possession.
However, Dan Dawson scored his goal on a power move to the crease and it held up after a video review, and then 45 seconds later, Jamieson curled to the middle of the floor and lasered one into the top left corner for the winning goal. He later scored into an empty net with 1:13 left.
"Sometimes gutty wins bring a team more together and I think that's going to turn things around," said Dan Dawson. "But again, it's only a step in the right direction, we're far from where we need to be and we have to focus, enjoy this, and then get ready for next weekend."

Home » TV » The Walking Dead: World Beyond: If Huck Can't Make It Work, CRM Will
Posted on November 27, 2020 | by Ray Flook | Comments
Heading into the two-episode, two-hour wrap-up of AMC's The Walking Dead: World Beyond ("The Deepest Cut" and "In This Life")… knowing the truth about his mother and unborn sister, Elton (Nicolas Cantu) has left to find Silas (Hal Cumpston)- who decided to go it alone and give in to all of the things that the others are believing about him. Meanwhile, Felix (Nico Tortorella), Huck (Annet Mahendru), Iris (Aliyah Royale), and Hope (Alexa Mansour) continue forward to find the CRM facility- though as we learned in the last episode, it sounds like it only matters if Huck makes it back with "the asset' (we're thinking Hope) while the others still hold out hope that things aren't as ominous as they seem (though Felix is having doubts).
The Walking Dead: World Beyond released the opening minutes to Episode 9 (Images: AMC screencap)
In the opening minutes to "The Deepest Cut," Huck (or should we call her "Jennifer" here?) is left to ponder her own thoughts while driving to their next destination as the others sleep- and that's when we learn quite a bit more about her dynamic with her mother Elizabeth (Julia Ormond). Set during the time she was gone from the group for those 48 hours earlier in the season, we learn just how important it is for Huck to get "the asset" ready for "integration"- and that if Huck isn't able to get rid of the extra company? Elizabeth wants her to know that CRM is willing to step in to make it happen. Last thing? The deal with the watch and Huck's dad, combined with how Elizabeth reacted? I'm not completely sold on the idea that dear old dad just "got up and left"- judge for yourselves:

In the following exclusive Bleeding Cool clip from "The Deepest Cut," our foursome come upon a combo that probably wasn't on the top of their lists of surprises they were hoping for: a near-circle of empties tied together by barbed wire:

A startling revelation casts everything in a new light. Written by Maya Goldsmith and Ben Sokolowski, and directed by Sydney Freeland.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond season 1, episode 10 "In This Life": A divided group struggles to reunite; others set their sights on the greater good. Written by Matthew Negrete, Maya Goldsmith, and Ben Sokolowski, and directed by Magnus Martens.

Q: How to build maven in Docker build file I have been desperately trying to figure out if it's possible to build a mvn project on a jenkins agent with a docker build file. The error that I am getting from running the pipeline is [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile
pipeline {

RUN yum install -y java-11-openjdk

RUN yum install -y maven

ENV HOME=${home}

The line about echo 1 | alternatives --config java is to switch to java 11. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Seems like you have a docker build file that you want to build so you have a deployable image you can run. Then when you have the image you can run you actually want to pull it down and run it with your application code mounted inside.
I answered a similar question recently here: Dockerfile can't build app with Maven - No goals specified for this build
Perhaps this helps?
Seems like you have an error because you're attempting to build directly on the jenkins host rather than in the docker container with maven/java11 installed.

A: docker {
            image 'maven:3-alpine'
            args '-v $HOME/.m2:/root/.m2'
        }

Need to mount the .m2 dir. It's under Caching containers here: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/docker/

Pochology Academy Conducts Voice Acting Workshop in Sykes Makati
On June 16, a half-day voice acting workshop was conducted at the Sykes Asia office in Makati. The workshop was organized by Artist Anonymous as part of the Sykes Choices program. Filipino motivational speaker Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales led his team of trainers to teach the basics of voice acting to Sykes employees.
The workshop kicked off with the Voice Care Queen Ada Cuaresma, as she introduced the art of voice acting to the class. She gave them a glimpse of the industry, the various media where voice artists are needed, and the basic requirements needed to start a voice acting career. She then led the class through a series of vocal exercises, from warm up exercises to those that would improve the quality of one's voice. She also gave them breathing and relaxation exercises, as those are also essential in increasing vocal power.
After those exercises, Ada called the next speaker, Kelvin Lumibao, who discussed the "VoiceMaster's Formula in Creating Character Voices." Kelvin is also one of Pocholo's proteges and a scholar of his voice acting school. Kelvin started by sharing his experiences in voice acting, and even impressed the audience with an ensemble of character voices that he can do – from cartoon characters to famous personalities. He then discussed the different vocal elements that anyone can mix and match to create character voices, the way he did. This formula is also being taught by the VoiceMaster in his workshops, and is included in his second book, "Gusto Kong Maging Voice Talent."
Then came the participants' turn to experience voice acting. Ada came back onstage to transition the workshop to the subject of dubbing. She taught the audience how to write and translate scripts for dubbing, including proper format and labeling. The class was then divided into groups, and were assigned excerpts from movies and cartoons for them to translate and then dub in front of the class.
After the fun dubbing activity, Ada introduced the VoiceMaster, who closed the workshop with powerful and inspirational words. The VoiceMaster shared his vision for the voice acting industry in the Philippines, and his inspiring story of how he mastered the craft and built his voice acting school. He inspired the participants to develop an appreciation for the power of their voice, and encouraged to go beyond their current line of work to utilize it.
Artist Anonymous is one of the duly-organized clubs in Sykes Asia, where creative enthusiasts get to meet like-minded individuals to express and develop their artistic side.

The Pochologist Shares his Business Failures in Impact Hub's Fuck Up Night
On May 31, Filipino motivational speaker Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales was invited as one of the speakers in Impact Hub's "Fuck Up Nights Volume 5." The event started out as a normal gathering and networking event, which turned into an event where people can learn and be inspired by the failures of now-successful entrepreneurs. Each speaker was given 15 minutes to share their "fuck-up story," which was followed by a 5-minute question and answer session.
Pocholo came onstage as the first speaker. He began by introducing what he does as a voice artist, and even impressed the audience with a "sample" of the character voices he has dubbed. Pocholo then went on to share his first-hand experience of the monopoly and politics that surrounded the voice acting industry. He recalled his first dubbing experience, where he was told by a veteran that he is no good and that he will not make it in the industry.
Pocholo transitioned into telling his "fuck up" story, where he invested a huge amount of money to build his own recording studio, with little experience in handling a business. He bought a large office space which he turned into a studio complete with state-of-the-art equipment. The business closed in just half a year because in that short moment, Pocholo lost hold of his vision to make the Philippines the center of voiceover excellence in Asia.
Pocholo then told of how he bounced back in 2005, and built his second company as well as the first voice acting school in the country. Even though he started out small and in a more shaky ground, it was then that he let his passion for voice acting take over, and his business turned out more successful than expected.
In closing, Pocholo shared the number one lesson he learned in his experience: STICK TO YOUR WHY. Ultimately, it's his passion that fuels him to work on his business, and to keep giving opportunities to those who aspire to become voice artists like Pocholo. Because of Pocholo's school, what was once an elusive and closed-door industry became open to those who wish to become part of it.
Impact Hub is one of the country's leading innovation labs and startup incubator, with its headquarters at the Picadilly Star in Taguig City.
Creativoices Productions Conducts Advanced Voice Acting Workshop for Radio, TV and Animation
Creativoices Productions conducted an advanced voice acting workshop on March 28, at its headquarters in Makati City. The workshop was facilitated by Voiceworx Director Brian Ligsay, and Creativoices CEO and Filipino motivational speaker Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales.
The whole-day intensive workshop was intended for Voiceworx graduates and those with some experience in dubbing and voiceover. Ten participants experienced this comprehensive voice workshop to sharpen their voice acting skills, particularly in dubbing and voiceovers.
The day started with an introduction and an icebreaker, and a motivational talk by the VoiceMaster. He set the mood for the participants to develop a deeper appreciation for the art of voice acting. Pocholo shared the stories of how the industry has grown in his 20 years of being in it, and how their voice acting school has opened the doors to all who used to just dream to become voice artists.
Then came Voiceworx Director Brian Ligsay, who started the intense training with a unique get-to-know-you activity. A thorough discussion about the voice acting industry followed, where Brian gave a high-level overview of voice acting history and trends. The presentation gave the participants a huge awareness on the world of opportunities that await them.
After a quick break, the students went through various voice exercises to improve their breathing, pitch range, and articulation. The exercises prepared them for a mock recording at the latter part of the workshop.
After lunch, the students moved to Creativoices' recording studio where the workshop continued. Brian shared what the participants should expect as they journey through the voice acting industry. He also gave tips on how they can create their voice demos, behave in auditions and recordings, and a lot of tips to market themselves as freelance voice artists. He also walked them through the various studio equipment that they will encounter inside a recording booth.
The discussion prepared the participants for their mock recording, which was the last part of the workshop. One by one, the participants entered the recording booth to record a couple of voiceover scripts in various genre – commercials, narration, documentary, among many others. Feedback was given by Brian and the class as to how each student can improve their script reading and their vocal quality.
The workshop ended with the participants receiving their certificate of participation, and with a whole new set of knowledge to conquer the voice acting world.
The VoiceMaster Teaches Voice Acting to Animation Students
On November 19, Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales conducted a 3-hour voice acting workshop for the Animation students of iAcademy in Makati City. Over 30 participants attended the workshop to learn about the art of giving life to animation through the use of voice.
The VoiceMaster shared the story of his journey in the voice acting world. He told the story of how he discovered his talent and inclination for the craft, and how it has given birth to his vision to make the Philippines the center of voiceover excellence in Asia. He also talked about the opportunities that await those who want to get in to the industry, as well as the future of voice acting amidst all the technological advancements today.
The VoiceMaster also went beyond the topic of voice acting and also highlighted the importance of voice as the most powerful human instrument. He shared how voice is what makes an animation human, and that voice is what enables us to move the world with our message. The VoiceMaster drove the point home as amazed the audience with a repertoire of character voices that he has done and imitated – cartoon characters, famous personalities and celebritites. He also performed a one-man live radio drama for the participants, and afterwards asked the students to draw the characters that they heard in the radio drama.
The VoiceMaster's talk was not only informative, but more importantly, a very inspirational one. His story of how he made it in the voice acting industry was not only a testament of his talent, but also of his passion and commitment to be true to the life mission he has discovered for himself. He encouraged the students to identify their life purpose – their calling – and dedicate their life to pursuing and living that calling.
Society of Young Filipino Speakers Conducts Self-Discovery Workshop
The Society of Young Filipino Speakers (YFS) rolled out its first training for members to hone their skills in motivational speaking. On October 10, the first batch of participants attended the Self-Discovery workshop, which aims to help the members to discover and uncover their personal stories, experiences and life lessons that can be used to inspire and motivate others.
The half-day workshop was facilitated by one of YFS mentors, Ada Cuaresma, who handled the first half of the workshop. She led the participants through a series of writing activities where they would write their life experiences and the lessons they learned from those experiences. After some time for self-reflection and writing, the participants took turns to share what they have written during the activity.
Some of the self-reflecting activities included writing what they have learned about leadership, money, happiness and other aspects of life, lessons learned from first-time experiences, and writing thank-you letters to people who have impacted their life in a positive and negative way.
After a short break, YFS founder Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales inspired and motivated the participants on discovering their life purpose, and how they can use their passion and skill to be of service to others. He encouraged them to think of public speaking or motivational speaking as a way to make other people better and happy, and not just as a way to push their own beliefs or interests on others. He challenged their thinking to go beyond the norms of the society, and to believe that they are the creator of their own reality. The participants were left the workshop with a whole new perspective on faith and life.
The Society of Young Filipino Speakers was founded by the VoiceMaster to hone young people to become motivational speakers for their fellow youth.
Creativoices Productions Holds Voice Workshop for Sykes Asia Inc.
Sykes Asia's Artist Anonymous, in partnership with Creativoices Productions, organized a voice workshop for the employees of Sykes on September 29, 2016 at the Sykes Asia office in Glorietta, Makati. Over 20 participants from nearby Sykes offices, trainers and agents, attended the workshop.
After some introduction and opening remarks, the workshop began with a session on Voice Care, facilitated by Voice Care Philippines' Executive Director, Ada Cuaresma. She began with facts about how important the voice is especially in the BPO industry, and how voice problems could become a barrier to one's performance in the job. Ada explained the process of voice production, and also had the participants go through a series of exercises to improve posture, relax the muscles and develop deep breathing. She ended the session with helpful voice care tips, and action planning so that the participants can apply what they have learned.
The voice care session was followed by a training on voice acting, by another one of Voiceworx's graduate, Andrew Miravalles. In his one-hour training, Andrew walked the audience through a series of exercises to explore the elements of their voice and discover how to use them to create imaginative characters. The participants enjoyed the training as they performed individual and group exercises that enabled them to play with their voice.
The last speaker was Creativoices' CEO and Managing Director, Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales. Pocholo inspired and motivated the participants to perform at their best and always strive for excellence in performing their work regardless of their role and position in the company. He also showcased his own voice acting prowess with a series of voices of famous cartoon characters, celebrities and even politicians.
The VoiceMaster Holds Voice Acting Workshop in Saint Paul Manila
On September 26, Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales led his team of trainers to conduct a voice acting workshop for Communication and Advertising students of St. Paul University, Manila. A dozen students gathered for a half-day of in-depth and fun-filled learning on the subject of voice acting.
The workshop started with Ada Cuaresma, Executive Director of Voice Care Philippines and a Voiceworx graduate. She gave a little introduction about the industry of voice acting, about the common misconceptions and the qualities needed to succeed as a voice artist. She then transitioned into a workshop about acting with the voice. Ada gave the students a series of activities to train the students to use facial expressions, gestures, and "human sound effects" like laughs and cries to make their voice acting more natural and believable.
After the last activity, Ada introduced the next speaker, Andrew Miravalles. Andrew is also a graduate of Pocholo's voice acting school, the Philippine Center for Voice Acting, Andrew discussed the different elements of the voice, and taught the participants how to mix-and-match the different elements of the voice such as pitch and tempo to create different characters. He also gave exercises and role-play activities for participants to practice exploring the range of their voice, and the characters they can create within their range.
Voice of the Youth member and radio anchor Kelvin Lomibao came up next, to discuss about character analysis and how to play with one's voice for dubbing and animation. Kelvin amazed the audience with a lineup of character voices that he showcased – from famous broadcasters to cartoon characters to celebrities both dead and alive! Kelvin ended his session with a "fun dubbing" activity – where the class was divided into small groups that dubbed excerpts from some famous films and anime.
The workshop ended with words of inspiration from the VoiceMaster. He challenged the participants to take the opportunity to pursue their passion even as young people, and to always follow what their heart desires. He said that none of what they learned from the workshop matters if they don't use it to make other people better and happy.
The VoiceMaster Talks About Voice Acting in Hosting for UST's Tourism and Hospitality Students
The College of Tourism and Hospitality Management of the University of Sto. Tomas held a Hosting Seminar at the Buenaventura Garcia Paredes, O.P. Building. About 50 students from the college attended the event to learn about the various facets of becoming a great host for events.
Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales spoke about the art of voice acting, and the power of the voice in events hosting. He started by sharing his experience as a voice artist, and how he expanded his skills and talents in voice by venturing into dubbing, radio drama, voiceovers and live events hosting. Of course, his story would not be complete without giving a "sample" of the character voices he has done.
Pocholo also inspired the students to aspire for greatness and excellence in their craft, regardless of which one they choose. He shared how he looks up to National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal, who believed that the youth is the hope of the nation. But for Pocholo, he believes that now is the time for the youth to be the REALIZATION and not just the hope.
The half-day hosting seminar featured 4 other speakers – JC Garcia, Vet Lauzon, Jennifer Rabe and Martin de Vera. All of them are members of the Microphone Club, an organization of professional microphone users (hosts, voice artists, broadcasters, public speakers, etc.) whose mission is to professionalize their craft through training and peer-to-peer mentoring. Microphone Club is also founded by the VoiceMaster.
Pochology Academy Holds Voice Acting Workshop at the University of Rizal System
In celebration of National Arts Month, the University Center for Culture & the Arts in partnership with University Supreme Student Council of University of Rizal System conducted a Voice Acting seminar-workshop, held at the Blanco Family Academy in Angono, Rizal on February 26, 2016.
With the theme "Fostering Artistic Excellence through Dynamic Involvement and Contagious Expertise," the event was designed to educate the students on the power of their voice in professional and personal relations, as well as to cultivate their artistry through the use of their most powerful human instrument.
As the country's most recognized and respected voice artist, Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales was invited to facilitated the whole-day workshop. He brought along with him 2 of his trainers and protégé's from Pochology Academy – Voice Care Queen Ada Cuaresma and Voice Monster Andrew San Fernando.
After the opening ceremonies, not to mention a superb medley performance by an acapella group, the workshop opened with a motivational talk by the VoiceMaster. After entertaining the audience with his numerous character voices and a repertoire of "hugot lines," the VoiceMaster inspired the students by sharing his story on how he used he has, for 20 years, used his talents and skills to make other people better and happy. He shared his stories of challenges, setbacks, obstacles and victories that made him who he is today, the "Man BEHIND a thousand voices". He encouraged the students to not waste their youth or wait for the "right time" to discover and pursue their passion, because the right time is always NOW. He left a powerful message to "do something today that your future self will thank you for."
After the VoiceMaster's empowering talk, Ada stepped up onstage for a short but informative workshop about the voice. She talked about the importance of voice in everyday life, that it's HOW WE SAY things that is important in building personal and professional relationships. She covered 2 important things about the voice. First is vocal power, where she used exercises to help participants produce their voice with more power, confidence and efficiency. The second thing is vocal variety, where, by learning to use the various elements of the voice, words spoken become more meaningful, engaging and memorable.
Andrew was the last speaker, who talked about voice acting. He taught the participants how to "play" with their voice – by exploring pitch, pitch character and tempo. He also taught them how to include human reactions in the context of voice acting, such as laughter, cry, trips and falls, and even eating and drinking sounds. Towards the end of the voice acting module, Andrew called some volunteers to do a "fun dub". The volunteers performed a quick dub of an excerpt from the cartoons Voltes V.
At the end of the workshop, the VoiceMaster also announced that URS will be heading the establishment of Voice of the Youth Network in Rizal, where the students get the opportunity to become volunteers to VOTY's radio shows.
Hundreds of students attended the workshop from various URS campuses including Tanay, Angono, Cainta and Antipolo.
The VoiceMaster Inspires IT Students in the First Into IT Convention (In2ition)
While many people went on a holiday on February 25th, Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales went on to do what he does best – inspire and motivate the youth. Pocholo was the last speaker on the first ever Into IT Convention, held at the Tanghalang Haribon of Insular Life Corporate Center in Alabang.
Hundreds of IT students from various schools in the Muntinlupa and Las Pinas area gathered to listen to speakers invited to speak in line with the theme "Raising a new breed of responsible Filipino netizens."
The last speaker – which turned out to be the highlight of the afternoon – was Pocholo's talk entitled "The Future Me." After a much-needed energizer for the participants, Pocholo started his talk by asking the participants to imagine that they are in year 2030, and to tell the person next to them who they are, what they're doing and what they have achieved. The main purpose of this activity is to challenge the students' minds to project and imagine their future so that they can create it. As the VoiceMaster always say, "Do something today your future self will thank you for."
Pocholo shared his own story of how he has envisioned himself as the VoiceMaster way back when he was 16 years old, and was just auditioning to become a radio drama talent in DZMM. He also shared how he got started with dubbing and voice acting, and his realization that he wanted to do more outside of the recording studio, which got him into training and motivational speaking. Of course, his "voice artist story" would not be complete without mesmerizing the audience with his repertoire of character voices!
During the second half of his talk, Pocholo gave an opportunity for the youth to be inspired by the youth. He called onstage 2 of Voice of the Youth Networks' members and broadcasters – DJ Denn and DJ Elaine – anchors of Generation Y&Z Radio in Radyo Inquirer. DJ Denn and DJ Elaine each shared how and why they got into joining the volunteer organization, and how their passions drives them to inspire and motivate their fellow youth.
Perhaps the highlight of the talk was when Pocholo called onstage his own son, Patrick Gabriel Gonzales. Patrick is the youngest broadcaster and motivational speaker in the country, at 10 years old. He opened his speech by doing the voice of Russell from Disneys "Up," and then went on to share his motivational tips on how to be productive young people. Patrick amazed and captivated the audience with words of inspiration like "fail your way to success."
Into IT Convention ended on a high energy with these inspiring young people, headed of course by the VoiceMaster.
The VoiceMaster Inspires the Youth to Create the Future
The College of Tourism and Hospitallity Management of De La Salle University – Dasmarinas conducted a seminar entitled "Road to Building Personality Growth and Image Enhancement" on February 24, 2016 at the Orchard Golf and Country Club in Dasmarinas, Cavite. Hundreds of students from the said college filled the event venue to be inspired and motivated by the invited speakers.
The last speaker of the event was Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales, who talked about creating "The Future Me". Inspired by the famous 80's film "Back to the Future," the VoiceMaster challenged the students to think as if this is the year 2030. "Tell the person next to you what you are now (year 2030) – your career, how successful you are, what you have achieved." He motivated the students to push their minds to the limit, projecting and feeling being successful in their chosen path.
During his talk, Pocholo shared how he has envisioned himself as the "VoiceMaster" way back when he was 16 years old. He told of his journey as a voice artist, youth advocate, and motivational speaker, and how he has responded to his life's calling to make other people better and happy by using his greatest weapon – the VOICE. Recognizing that one of the biggest challenges, especially of today's youth, is discovering what they want in life, Pocholo gave them a simple, 5-question formula for discovering their life's purpose. "It all starts with knowing what you can do, and ends with finding out how that can change the lives of others."
At the end of his talk, Pocholo shared his favorite "Pochology" (words of wisdom of Pocholo Gonzales) – "The best ability is AVAILABILITY." It's his way of saying that your talent and skills will go a long way only if you seize the opportunities to use them.
Creativoices Celebrates its 10th Year
It all started with a dream. A dream to produce voice ARTISTS and not voice TALENTS. A dream to promote voice acting as an ART and not as a JOB. A dream to make the Philippines the center of voiceover excellence in Asia.
In 2005, Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales would have reached the peak of his voice acting career. Nine years into the industry, he has already made a name for himself, having voiced literally thousands of projects – TV and radio commercials, dubbed telenovela and anime, AVP's, audiobooks, video games – you name it, he's voiced it. But for Pocholo, it was just the beginning.
His journey in the voice acting world was not a walk in the park. In fact, he's met with several challenges, especially as someone who is starting out young as a voice artist. He experienced first-hand the politics and monopoly surrounding the industry, and was even told by the more tenured voice artists that he's not good enough for the craft. For most people, that would have been the signal to fold up and give up on their dream, but for Pocholo, it became his fuel to do something bigger than what he would have been within the four corners of the recording booth.
Pocholo established his own voiceover services company, Creativoices Productions, in 2005. But more than just being another audio production house, Creativoices became the home of the first and premier voice acting school in the country, the Philippine Center for Voice Acting. This school, more popularly known as "Voiceworx," became a hub for aspiring voice artists to develop their voice acting skills, and get their foot in the door of voice acting.
Pocholo has revolutionized and professionalized the voice acting industry through Voiceworx. Not only did it provide opportunities for aspiring voice artists, but it also created an entire breed of voice artists who, like Pocholo, treats voice acting as an art instead of just another job, and also serve as an inspiration to other aspiring voice artists to realize their dream.
Pocholo's voice acting school also became a venue for voice acting mentors to become part of this advocacy of bringing in new voices to the industry. Pocholo is joined by renowned dubbing directors and voiceover experts to teach this new generation of voice artists – Brian Ligsay, Alexx Agcaoili, Neil Tolentino and Danny Mandia.
Ten years and 33 batches later, Voiceworx has produced more than 1,000 graduates, and almost half of them are actively making their name in the industry – as dubbers, voiceover talents, events host, broadcasters, and even trainers. What's also noteworthy is that Pocholo has sponsored around 300 students as his scholars to the workshop.
Through Creativoices, Pocholo also brought the Filipino voice acting talent to the international scene when he closed several projects with the famous video gaming company, Sega. Pocholo became the voice director for arcade games such as Harley Davidson King of the Road, Golden Gun, Operation Ghost and Transformers. Those games all used Filipino talents for the voices of the characters.
A decade of talents discovered. Of passions ignited. Of dreams fulfilled. Creativoices Productions has truly paved the way for the world to hear the power of the Filipino voice.

Voice Care for Teachers Workshop in San Jose del Monte Bulacan
POSTED ON 09.14.15 | CREATIVOICES PRODUCTIONS | LEAVE A COMMENT
On September 13, over 50 public school teachers attended the Voice Care for Teachers workshop held at the Grotto Vista Resort in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
The whole-day workshop began with Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales giving a motivational talk. He shared his experience not only on how he became one of the best voice artists in the country, but how he has utilized his frustrations, disappointments, and experiences in building advocacies that help other people find and express their own voices.
The VoiceMaster also talked about the Generation Z, the generation of young people dominating the modern-day classroom. He discussed their mindset, lifestyle and behavior to give the teachers a better understanding of the students they are teaching. He shared tips on how to best engage these young people in class so that their learning becomes fun, relevant and meaningful.
In the afternoon, Voice Care Philippines' Executive Director Ada Cuaresma took over the workshop and to teach the participants about voice care. Her module started with the importance of the voice in the teaching profession, the different factors that make teachers prone to voice problems. She also discussed the process of how voice is produced, and led the participants through a series of exercises for the voice.
The workshop ended with tips on how to take care of the voice, and the teachers coming up with action plans to implement their learning from the workshop.
The VoiceMaster Teaches Voice Acting for Raket.ph
Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales facilitated the "Voice Acting 101" workshop organized by Raket.ph – the country's leading online hub for freelancers. The workshop was held on September 11, 2015 at The One School in Makati.
The VoiceMaster opened the workshop with an introduction, where the students get to know each other's names and motivation for attending the workshop. He then shared his bittersweet journey in the voice acting industry, which started in 1996 – from the competition he won, to the veterans in the field who mocked and turned him down, to the creation of his own company and voice acting school.
The VoiceMaster also gave tidbits of inspiration and motivation to the participants to help them kickstart their voice acting careers. His motivational talk was followed with a series of voice acting exercise that enabled the participants to explore their vocal range. Each student was also given the chance to do voice acting using a script they have created.
The 3-hour session was entertaining yet meaningful for the aspiring voice artists who attended the workshop.
The VoiceMaster Conducts a Voice Acting Workshop in St. Paul University Manila
Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales has inspired and motivated the 3rd year Mass Communication students of St. Paul University, Manila in a half-day voice acting workshop on August 15, 2015.
The VoiceMaster shared to the audience his journey in the voice acting world. He talked about the mentors, the friends, the partners he has worked with in the field of voiceovers, dubbing and radio broadcasting. He also shared about the challenges he met along the way – the frustrations, the harsh realities, the rejections – that became his driving force to create his voice acting school, the Philippine Center for Voice Acting. The VoiceMaster also talked about Voice of the Youth Network, and how this organization that he founded has given Mass Communication students the venue to experience real-life radio broadcasting even while they were still in school. Of course, the talk would not be complete without the audience hearing the many character voices of the one and only VoiceMaster!
Pocholo's talk was followed by the more technical part of the workshop. Two of Pocholo's protégé's – Ada Cuaresma and Andrew San Fernando – conducted the voice acting workshop. Also known as the "Voice Care Queen," Ada talked about the science of producing voice. She taught the students proper techniques along the process of producing voice, like proper breathing and posture. Andrew, also known as the "VoiceMonster," inspired the students with his accomplishments as a voice artist – from dubbing to hosting to doing voiceover work for one of the most popular reality shows on TV today. He also taught the students techiques on how to "play" with the voice using various exercises to explore one's pitch and tone of voice.
The voice acting workshop was organized by the Integrated Student Media Society, an academic organization of Paulinian Mass Communication students.
Voiceworx Successfully Kicks Off Batch 33
By: Dorothy Aireen Lipit
Creativoices Productions once again welcomed aspiring voice artists as Voiceworx –Basic Voice Acting and Dubbing Workshop – started batch 33 on July 4, 2015. Over 20 students in the morning and afternoon classes combined attended the first session, which was conducted by no less than Creativoices' CEO and Managing Director, Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales.
Sir Choy – as the VoiceMaster is fondly called – kicked off the class with a unique getting-to-know-you game, so that the class gets to know each other while breaking the ice. It was then followed by an inspirational talk where Sir Choy shared his journey to becoming the VoiceMaster of the Philippines. The class ended with each student writing a script and getting their first shot at audio recording!
MEET BATCH 33
Get to know some of the students from Voiceworx Batch 33:
Ruby Garcia from Paranaque learned that as a future voice artist, she must be confident even in writing scripts. She learned from Sir Choy that the first person to perform the script is the writer himself.
Kat Garcia, 27 years old, currently an online tutor of Japanese students, boldly shared that we should develop our voice for it to become more animated. She aims to become a "world-class voice artist" someday. She also added that we must enjoy ourselves and what we are doing because if not, we will give up on them eventually.
For Kenneth Pilin, who is still figuring out what he wants to do in life, the workshop reminded him to trust his own self and skills more. "I need to believe in myself." Kenneth truly wishes to become a voice artist—a great and confident one; a voice behind a character for his own. He emphasized that voice acting is the very first thing he ever chose for himself.
Like most of the attendees of the workshop, Ruffa Valero, an English and academic tutor and volunteer Sunday School teacher from Marikina City, told us that being one of the sought-after voice artists in the Philippines was her childhood dream. The potential she sees in her voice was her primary motivation in joining Voiceworx. As long as she learns and loves what she is doing, she does not mind the distance of the seminar venue from home.
The students of Batch 33 are truly excited for the next sessions of Voiceworx. United by one goal, they are anticipating that they will eventually learn the proper techniques, skills, and proper attitude in becoming successful in the craft someday.
Creativoices Productions Recognized as Adamson University's Industry Partner
On March 16, 2015, Adamson University held its Industry Partners' Appreciation Day at The Bayleaf Hotel in Intramuros, Manila. The event aims to strengthen the collaboration of the university with companies that have made significant contribution in the effective attainment of the University's Academic Research, Internship and Job Placement, Extension Services and Scholarship Programs.
Creativoices Productions is one of the companies which was recognized by Adamson as an industry partner. Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales, CEO and Managing Director, received the award and token of appreciation.
Voice Acting for Animation and Web Students in Pampanga
On March 14, 2015, The VoiceMaster visited the Holy Angel University in Angeles, Pampanga to share his expertise on voice acting for animation in the Creative Interchange program.
Dozens of students filled the academic hall of the school's St. Joseph building to hear the VoiceMaster share his experience and expertise in the field of voice acting. They learned about Creativoices, the audio production company founded by the VoiceMaster, as well as the Voice of the Youth Network, the volunteer youth organization founded to inform, inspire, involve and empower the Filipino youth through media and ICT.
The VoiceMaster showcased his talent by performing different voices onstage – from famous commercials to anime characters that he voiced over the years. He also performed a live radio drama in front of the audience. He then showed videos of the video games he has voiced and directed, particularly for Sega games.
The talk was capped off with a voice acting contest, where some members of the audience showed their voice acting talents. They were awarded with a scholarship to Voiceworx, Creativoices' basic voice acting and dubbing workshop.
Voiceworx Caravan Invades Lucban, Quezon
Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales took his entire team of voice acting trainers, as the Voiceworx Caravan workshop landed in the friendly province of Lucban, Quezon.
Hundreds of communication students from Southern Luzon State University filled the AMVI Building where the workshop was being held. The workshop started with a motivational talk from the VoiceMaster, where he shared his experiences and expertise in voice acting. He even entertained the students by doing the voices from commercials, cartoons and video games he has voiced.
The VoiceMaster's talk was followed by the workshop proper, with topics ranging from vocal warm up, radio drama, voice acting basics and what it takes to be a voice artist.
The workshop ended with a fun-filled song and dance numbers from some members of the audience, and even from the speakers themselves.


Update Wednesday is proving to be pretty active today as new versions of several apps are streaming out. The latest update to Photos doesn't appear to include anything we haven't heard about before, but it does seem to activate some of the features for everybody that had been on a staged rollout, like Archive and Suggested Sharing. If you haven't already received some of these features, and assuming they aren't geo-restricted, this is probably the version to get.
However, a teardown of this version does have a few things to reveal, including a significant upgrade to the camera shortcut and suggestions for photos you might want to archive. Since there wasn't time when the previous update came out, I've also got a few short topics from that version, as well.
It has been quite a while since Google Photos added a little floating thumbnail of photos after they were taken, but it's a pretty handy shortcut to quickly open the app and check out the images where they can be examined properly. However, that simple feature is about to get more advanced.
New text in the Photos app tells us that this little button is about to gain a few new tricks. According to the promotional description, you'll be able to immediately share, edit, or archive photos as soon as you take them.
This particular enhancement isn't live for me yet, and since the text isn't very detailed, I'm not really sure what the widget will look like on screen or how the shortcuts to share, edit, and archive will be accessed. My hunch is that it'll look basically the same when a photo is taken, but tapping on the picture may open a new floating menu where users can immediately launch the actions.
With the Archive feature going live for everybody, Google wants to let users know it's there, and maybe give a little nudge in the right direction. The next time you look at your Assistant tab, you might see a new card suggesting that you can review your photos and clean up the clutter. Like some of the other suggestions found in the Assistant tab, tapping the card will open a new screen where you can pick the images to archive.
If you're not into the idea of getting archival suggestions, there is an option to turn them off completely. Alternatively, if you've previously skipped any suggestions and want to reconsider, there's also a menu command to re-examine those shots for a second round on the hot seat.
I'm just making a quick note about Shared Libraries, probably the one feature from I/O that hasn't either launched or been mentioned elsewhere since the keynote. Version 2.15 of the Photos app included a boatload of new lines related to this and all of the other features announced during the event.
I'm not going to fill this section with over 100 strings and other resources because, quite frankly, there's nothing special to be learned from them... It was all shown on stage. However, some people have been asking about it and it is worth bringing up the topic just to point out that the feature is already extensively implemented in the apk and will probably go live soon.
Another follow-up deserves to be made, although it's mostly for laughs. Readers may remember Austin's Mystery Feature from the v2.13 teardown. The "feature" is presumably still there, but seems to have lost a little bit of its personality. It seems Austin is no longer credited with this work of brilliance, as his name has been replaced by the word "still" in the string name.
Sorry, Austin. I know how it goes when some cruel manager rips away the credit you rightfully deserve. We're here for ya. Your work, such as it is, shall always be immortalized and properly credited here on Android Police.
The final topic of this teardown also comes from v2.15, but it's a much simpler item that people have been asking for practically since Photos launched. There is a simple preference option planned that will instruct Photos to automatically open to the Album view instead of the full photo stream.
For users that don't get much value out of the photo stream, this is surely going to be a welcome feature. Considering the simplicity, I'm surprised it didn't launch in either of the latest updates – assuming it's not rolling out to a limited group – but it's probably not far away.

A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose symmetry group acts transitively on its flags. A regular polyhedron is highly symmetrical, being all of edge-transitive, vertex-transitive and face-transitive. In classical contexts, many different equivalent definitions are used; a common one is that the faces are congruent regular polygons which are assembled in the same way around each vertex.

A regular polyhedron is identified by its Schläfli symbol of the form {n, m}, where n is the number of sides of each face and m the number of faces meeting at each vertex. There are 5 finite convex regular polyhedra (the Platonic solids), and four regular star polyhedra (the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra), making nine regular polyhedra in all. In addition, there are five regular compounds of the regular polyhedra.

The regular polyhedra

There are five convex regular polyhedra, known as the Platonic solids, four regular star polyhedra, the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra, and five regular compounds of regular polyhedra:

Platonic solids

Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra

Regular compounds

Characteristics

Equivalent properties

The property of having a similar arrangement of faces around each vertex can be replaced by any of the following equivalent conditions in the definition:

The vertices of a convex regular polyhedron all lie on a sphere.
All the dihedral angles of the polyhedron are equal
All the vertex figures of the polyhedron are regular polygons.
All the solid angles of the polyhedron are congruent.

Concentric spheres

A convex regular polyhedron has all of three related spheres (other polyhedra lack at least one kind) which share its centre:
 An insphere, tangent to all faces.
 An intersphere or midsphere, tangent to all edges.
 A circumsphere, tangent to all vertices.

Symmetry

The regular polyhedra are the most symmetrical of all the polyhedra. They lie in just three symmetry groups, which are named after the Platonic solids:
Tetrahedral
Octahedral (or cubic)
Icosahedral (or dodecahedral)

Any shapes with icosahedral or octahedral symmetry will also contain tetrahedral symmetry.

Euler characteristic

The five Platonic solids have an Euler characteristic of 2. This simply reflects that the surface is a topological 2-sphere, and so is also true, for example, of
any polyhedron which is star-shaped with respect to some interior point.

Interior points

The sum of the distances from any point in the interior of a regular polyhedron to the sides is independent of the location of the point (this is an extension of Viviani's theorem.) However, the converse does not hold, not even for tetrahedra.

Duality of the regular polyhedra
In a dual pair of polyhedra, the vertices of one polyhedron correspond to the faces of the other, and vice versa.

The regular polyhedra show this duality as follows:
 The tetrahedron is self-dual, i.e. it pairs with itself.
 The cube and octahedron are dual to each other.
 The icosahedron and dodecahedron are dual to each other.
 The small stellated dodecahedron and great dodecahedron are dual to each other.
 The great stellated dodecahedron and great icosahedron are dual to each other.

The Schläfli symbol of the dual is just the original written backwards, for example the dual of {5, 3} is {3, 5}.

History

Prehistory

Stones carved in shapes resembling clusters of spheres or knobs have been found in Scotland and may be as much as 4,000 years old. Some of these stones show not only the symmetries of the five Platonic solids, but also some of the relations of duality amongst them (that is, that the centres of the faces of the cube gives the vertices of an octahedron). Examples of these stones are on display in the John Evans room of the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford University. Why these objects were made, or how their creators gained the inspiration for them, is a mystery. There is doubt regarding the mathematical interpretation of these objects, as many have non-platonic forms, and perhaps only one has been found to be a true icosahedron, as opposed to a reinterpretation of the icosahedron dual, the dodecahedron.

It is also possible that the Etruscans preceded the Greeks in their awareness of at least some of the regular polyhedra, as evidenced by the discovery near Padua (in Northern Italy) in the late 19th century of a dodecahedron made of soapstone, and dating back more than 2,500 years (Lindemann, 1987).

Greeks

The earliest known written records of the regular convex solids originated from Classical Greece. When these solids were all discovered and by whom is not known, but Theaetetus (an Athenian) was the first to give a mathematical description of all five (Van der Waerden, 1954), (Euclid, book XIII). H.S.M. Coxeter (Coxeter, 1948, Section 1.9) credits Plato (400 BC) with having made models of them, and mentions that one of the earlier Pythagoreans, Timaeus of Locri, used all five in a correspondence between the polyhedra and the nature of the universe as it was then perceived – this correspondence is recorded in Plato's dialogue Timaeus. Euclid's reference to Plato led to their common description as the Platonic solids.

One might characterise the Greek definition as follows:
A regular polygon is a (convex) planar figure with all edges equal and all corners equal.
A regular polyhedron is a solid (convex) figure with all faces being congruent regular polygons, the same number arranged all alike around each vertex.

This definition rules out, for example, the square pyramid (since although all the faces are regular, the square base is not congruent to the triangular sides), or the shape formed by joining two tetrahedra together (since although all faces of that triangular bipyramid would be equilateral triangles, that is, congruent and regular, some vertices have 3 triangles and others have 4).

This concept of a regular polyhedron would remain unchallenged for almost 2000 years.

Regular star polyhedra

Regular star polygons such as the pentagram (star pentagon) were also known to the ancient Greeks – the pentagram was used by the Pythagoreans as their secret sign, but they did not use them to construct polyhedra. It was not until the early 17th century that Johannes Kepler realised that pentagrams could be used as the faces of regular star polyhedra. Some of these star polyhedra may have been discovered by others before Kepler's time, but Kepler was the first to recognise that they could be considered "regular" if one removed the restriction that regular polyhedra be convex. Two hundred years later Louis Poinsot also allowed star vertex figures (circuits around each corner), enabling him to discover two new regular star polyhedra along with rediscovering Kepler's. These four are the only regular star polyhedra, and have come to be known as the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra. It was not until the mid-19th century, several decades after Poinsot published, that Cayley gave them their modern English names: (Kepler's) small stellated dodecahedron and great stellated dodecahedron, and (Poinsot's) great icosahedron and great dodecahedron.

The Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra may be constructed from the Platonic solids by a process called stellation. The reciprocal process to stellation is called facetting (or faceting). Every stellation of one polyhedron is dual, or reciprocal, to some facetting of the dual polyhedron. The regular star polyhedra can also be obtained by facetting the Platonic solids. This was first done by Bertrand around the same time that Cayley named them.

By the end of the 19th century there were therefore nine regular polyhedra – five convex and four star.

Regular polyhedra in nature
Each of the Platonic solids occurs naturally in one form or another.

The tetrahedron, cube, and octahedron all occur as crystals. These by no means exhaust the numbers of possible forms of crystals (Smith, 1982, p212), of which there are 48. Neither the regular icosahedron nor the regular dodecahedron are amongst them, but crystals can have the shape of a pyritohedron, which is visually almost indistinguishable from a regular dodecahedron. Truly icosahedral crystals may be formed by quasicrystalline materials which are very rare in nature but can be produced in a laboratory.

A more recent discovery is of a series of new types of carbon molecule, known as the fullerenes (see Curl, 1991). Although C60, the most easily produced fullerene, looks more or less spherical, some of the larger varieties (such as C240, C480 and C960) are hypothesised to take on the form of slightly rounded icosahedra, a few nanometres across.

Regular polyhedra appear in biology as well. The coccolithophore Braarudosphaera bigelowii has a regular dodecahedral structure, about 10 micrometres across. In the early 20th century, Ernst Haeckel described a number of species of radiolarians, some of whose shells are shaped like various regular polyhedra. Examples include Circoporus octahedrus, Circogonia icosahedra, Lithocubus geometricus and Circorrhegma dodecahedra; the shapes of these creatures are indicated by their names. The outer protein shells of many viruses form regular polyhedra. For example, HIV is enclosed in a regular icosahedron, as is the head of a typical myovirus.

In ancient times the Pythagoreans believed that there was a harmony between the regular polyhedra and the orbits of the planets. In the 17th century, Johannes Kepler studied data on planetary motion compiled by Tycho Brahe and for a decade tried to establish the Pythagorean ideal by finding a match between the sizes of the polyhedra and the sizes of the planets' orbits. His search failed in its original objective, but out of this research came Kepler's discoveries of the Kepler solids as regular polytopes, the realisation that the orbits of planets are not circles, and the laws of planetary motion for which he is now famous. In Kepler's time only five planets (excluding the earth) were known, nicely matching the number of Platonic solids. Kepler's work, and the discovery since that time of Uranus and Neptune, have invalidated the Pythagorean idea.

Around the same time as the Pythagoreans, Plato described a theory of matter in which the five elements (earth, air, fire, water and spirit) each comprised tiny copies of one of the five regular solids. Matter was built up from a mixture of these polyhedra, with each substance having different proportions in the mix. Two thousand years later Dalton's atomic theory would show this idea to be along the right lines, though not related directly to the regular solids.

Further generalisations
The 20th century saw a succession of generalisations of the idea of a regular polyhedron, leading to several new classes.

Regular skew apeirohedra

In the first decades, Coxeter and Petrie allowed "saddle" vertices with alternating ridges and valleys, enabling them to construct three infinite folded surfaces which they called regular skew polyhedra. Coxeter offered a modified Schläfli symbol {l,m|n} for these figures, with {l,m} implying the vertex figure, with m regular l-gons around a vertex. The n defines n-gonal holes. Their vertex figures are regular skew polygons, vertices zig-zagging between two planes.

Regular skew polyhedra

Finite regular skew polyhedra exist in 4-space. These finite regular skew polyhedra in 4-space can be seen as a subset of the faces of uniform 4-polytopes. They have planar regular polygon faces, but regular skew polygon vertex figures.

Two dual solutions are related to the 5-cell, two dual solutions are related to the 24-cell, and an infinite set of self-dual duoprisms generate regular skew polyhedra as {4, 4 | n}. In the infinite limit these approach a duocylinder and look like a torus in their stereographic projections into 3-space.

Regular polyhedra in non-Euclidean and other spaces
Studies of non-Euclidean (hyperbolic and elliptic) and other spaces such as complex spaces, discovered over the preceding century, led to the discovery of more new polyhedra such as complex polyhedra which could only take regular geometric form in those spaces.

Regular polyhedra in hyperbolic space

In H3 hyperbolic space, paracompact regular honeycombs have Euclidean tiling facets and vertex figures that act like finite polyhedra. Such tilings have an angle defect that can be closed by bending one way or the other. If the tiling is properly scaled, it will close as an asymptotic limit at a single ideal point. These Euclidean tilings are inscribed in a horosphere just as polyhedra are inscribed in a sphere (which contains zero ideal points). The sequence extends when hyperbolic tilings are themselves used as facets of noncompact hyperbolic tessellations, as in the heptagonal tiling honeycomb {7,3,3}; they are inscribed in an equidistant surface (a 2-hypercycle), which has two ideal points.

Regular tilings of the real projective plane
Another group of regular polyhedra comprise tilings of the real projective plane. These include the hemi-cube, hemi-octahedron, hemi-dodecahedron, and hemi-icosahedron. They are (globally) projective polyhedra, and are the projective counterparts of the Platonic solids. The tetrahedron does not have a projective counterpart as it does not have pairs of parallel faces which can be identified, as the other four Platonic solids do.

These occur as dual pairs in the same way as the original Platonic solids do. Their Euler characteristics are all 1.

Abstract regular polyhedra

By now, polyhedra were firmly understood as three-dimensional examples of more general polytopes in any number of dimensions. The second half of the century saw the development of abstract algebraic ideas such as Polyhedral combinatorics, culminating in the idea of an abstract polytope as a partially ordered set (poset) of elements. The elements of an abstract polyhedron are its body (the maximal element), its faces, edges, vertices and the null polytope or empty set. These abstract elements can be mapped into ordinary space or realised as geometrical figures. Some abstract polyhedra have well-formed or faithful realisations, others do not. A flag is a connected set of elements of each dimension – for a polyhedron that is the body, a face, an edge of the face, a vertex of the edge, and the null polytope. An abstract polytope is said to be regular if its combinatorial symmetries are transitive on its flags – that is to say, that any flag can be mapped onto any other under a symmetry of the polyhedron. Abstract regular polytopes remain an active area of research.

Five such regular abstract polyhedra, which can not be realised faithfully, were identified by H. S. M. Coxeter in his book Regular Polytopes (1977) and again by J. M. Wills in his paper "The combinatorially regular polyhedra of index 2" (1987). All five have C2×S5 symmetry but can only be realised with half the symmetry, that is C2×A5 or icosahedral symmetry. They are all topologically equivalent to toroids. Their construction, by arranging n faces around each vertex, can be repeated indefinitely as tilings of the hyperbolic plane.

Petrie dual

The Petrie dual of a regular polyhedron is a regular map whose vertices and edges correspond to the vertices and edges of the original polyhedron, and whose faces are the set of skew Petrie polygons.

Spherical polyhedra

The usual five regular polyhedra can also be represented as spherical tilings (tilings of the sphere):

Regular polyhedra that can only exist as spherical polyhedra

For a regular polyhedron whose Schläfli symbol is {m, n}, the number of polygonal faces may be found by:

The Platonic solids known to antiquity are the only integer solutions for m ≥ 3 and n ≥ 3. The restriction m ≥ 3 enforces that the polygonal faces must have at least three sides.

When considering polyhedra as a spherical tiling, this restriction may be relaxed, since digons (2-gons) can be represented as spherical lunes, having non-zero area. Allowing m = 2 admits a new infinite class of regular polyhedra, which are the hosohedra. On a spherical surface, the regular polyhedron {2, n} is represented as n abutting lunes, with interior angles of 2/n. All these lunes share two common vertices.

A regular dihedron, {n, 2} (2-hedron) in three-dimensional Euclidean space can be considered a degenerate prism consisting of two (planar) n-sided polygons connected "back-to-back", so that the resulting object has no depth, analogously to how a digon can be constructed with two line segments. However, as a spherical tiling, a dihedron can exist as nondegenerate form, with two n-sided faces covering the sphere, each face being a hemisphere, and vertices around a great circle. It is regular if the vertices are equally spaced.

The hosohedron {2,n} is dual to the dihedron {n,2}. Note that when n = 2, we obtain the polyhedron {2,2}, which is both a hosohedron and a dihedron. All of these have Euler characteristic 2.

This brought tears to my eyes when I received it from a friend. It's an interview with The late Frank Sinatra, done in 1992, and his words about me touch me to my heart.
Mr. Sinatra was my hero. He loved and respected the songwriter, and we loved and respected him in return.
He not only sang our songs, he felt our music and let the audience feel it, too.
CLICK HERE for my song from a songwriter to a singer, "Only the Music, Only My Song".
Mr. Sinatra with his beautiful wife, Barbara, me, and Robert Culp
1992 - Interview with Joy Williams
Q: What was one of the first things you learned about singing? Do you still adhere to it?
SINATRA: When I first started, it was my idea to make my voice work like a musical instrument. I've always been fascinated with Jascha Heifetz' way with the violin and Tommy Dorsey's way with the horn. Heifetz' constant bowing, when you never hear a break, carries a melody line straight through, just as Dorsey's trombone did. I tried to use my voice in the same way as a violin or trombone--not sounding like them, but playing my voice like them.
Q: Outside of music, what are some of your other interests?
SINATRA: I've dabbled in oil painting and I like photography. Over the years I've gathered a marvelous collection of model trains, specializing in steam engines. Many of the trains were sent to me by fans and they're very special to me. Barbara and I have several dogs, cats and a parrot named "Rocky." What a greeting they give us when we come home from a road trip! Of course, I like to cook...learned from both my mother and father.
Q: What was your most memorable moment with Tommy Dorsey?
SINATRA: I was with Tommy for a little under three years and according to my trusty little calculator, that comes to something like 1,500,000 moments--and every one of them was memorable.
Q: In your formula for success, what is the main ingredient?
SINATRA: What formula? I never had one, so I couldn't say what the main ingredient is. I think everybody who's successful in this business has one common ingredient--the talent God gave us. The rest depends upon how it's used.
Q: What do you look for, musically, in new songs for concerts and recordings?
SINATRA: I'm looking for the same elements I've sought throughout my career: a melody that sings, flows smoothly, allows me to become totally involved and gives me room for my own phrasing and timing; strong, poetic lyrics that are solidly related to the music and tell a good story; fresh, imaginative arrangements that provide a glow to the words and music. In short, I look for outstanding musicianship, taste, dedication and professionalism.
Q: You've been critical of the press. Yet, if you were a reporter and were given an assignment to do a story on Frank Sinatra, how would you handle it?
SINATRA: It's no secret I've been critical of the press, and I feel justified. I have great respect for responsible, professional journalists who are objective, unbiased and report the truth. On the other hand, there are reporters an editors who distort, exaggerate, misquote or color the news without bothering to check the facts. They're the ones who give journalism a bad name, and people who are in the public eye are often victims of unscrupulous headline-hunting reporters.
Q: Do you think you would have had a more serene, happier life if you had not achieved all the fame and glory? Was it worth all the problems and the pressures?
SINATRA: More serene, perhaps, but certainly not happier. We all have problems and pressures, regardless of the kind of life we lead, in show business or any other field. Has it been worth it all? Sure it has, because I love what I'm doing and I'm one of the happiest people I know.
Q: Who, in your opinion, are the best, most promising songwriters in the business today?
SINATRA: There are several contemporary composers whose talent I regard highly and they'll get even better as they progress. I've been using, with much personal satisfaction and fine audience reaction, some of the best material of songwriters such as George Harrison, Jim Webb, David Gates, Carol Conners, Carol Bayer Sager, John Denver and Alan and Marilyn Bergman.
Q: You once said that if reincarnation were possible you'd like to return as opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. My question is, Do you prefer classical and operatic music for your own enjoyment?
SINATRA: I like all music--opera, symphony, pop, show tunes, etc--and I'm comfortable with most of today's music, except the acid rock. I do, however, admire the technique and clarity of opera performers.
Q: What was the most memorable moment in your life?
SINATRA: There have been several, among them, the two times that I became a grandfather, first of Angela Jennifer Lambert, then of her sister, Amanda Catherine Lambert. They gave me bigger thrills than any standing ovation.
Q: Would you rather sing in nightclubs or in concerts?
SINATRA: At heart, I guess I'm a saloon singer because there's a greater intimacy between performer and audience in a nightclub. Then again, I love the excitement of appearing before a big concert audience. Let's just say that the place isn't important, as long as everybody has a good time.
Q: Which do you like best, singing or acting?
SINATRA: I started out as a singer and I'll end up as a singer. The acting was in between. I prefer not to classify or pigeonhole my craft because there's a lot of acting in my singing and my singing has helped my acting.
Q: Did you have any training in singing or acting prior to your first professional experience as an entertainer?
SINATRA: The only background I had in singing was with the glee club at Demerest High in Hoboken, NJ. I had no training in either singing or acting and I learned everything from experience. I performed at parties, social clubs, the corner candy store--any place people would listen to me.
Q: What is your favorite song?
SINATRA: I've sung and recorded so many wonderful songs over the years that it would be impossible to name one in particular as my favorite. They've all been special for me for one reason or another.
Q: Will you go on performing for the rest of your life?
SINATRA: You'd better believe it!

New significant gas discovery in UK North Sea
Recoverable resources are estimated close to 250m barrels of oil equivalent
By Priyanka Shrestha
A new significant gas discovery has been made in the UK North Sea.
Chinese state energy company CNOOC and France's Total have made the announcement of the discovery on the Glengorm prospect located in the Central Graben.
Recoverable resources are estimated close to 250 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Kevin McLachlan, Senior Vice President for Exploration at Total said: "Following the recent Glendronach discovery, West of Shetland in the UK, Glengorm is another great success for Total in the North Sea, with results at the top end of expectations and a high condensate yield in addition to the gas."
Total holds a 25% working interest in the Glengorm discovery, alongside CNOOC Petroleum Europe Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNOOC Limited (50%, operator) and Euroil, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison E&P (25%).

It encourages your kids to participate in food preparation.
This activity is so simple they are out of the kitchen before they can create a mess.
Children are eating healthful ingredients without realising it - oats, chia seeds, dried cranberries, dark chocolate. If you want to cut back on more fat intake, you can also substitute the butter with the same amount of applesauce/mashed bananas/prune puree.
howto make a diy cookie jar?
Fill a mason jar with all the dry ingredients in the same order as listed above.
Cover the jar lid with some newspaper and tie a string around the neck of the jar.

The market for automobiles has been changed forever by the advent of online dealer auctions. Some websites that provide access to dealer auctions online now allow for ordinary consumers to participate in these auctions. Because of this, these auto buyers are now capable of enjoying the level of savings that's long been the sole purview of dealers. These are savings that in many instances can total in the several thousands of dollars.
Still, despite the obvious benefits of online car auctions, there are many consumers who remain skeptical. This is especially true when it comes to buying a salvage car in an online dealer auction. Not only are people unsure of what an online dealer auto auction actually entails, they also fail to understand what a salvage car really is.
In order to allay common skepticism, we're going to explore both topics below. In the end, you'll likely see why it may make sense for you to buy a salvage car online in a dealer auction.
An insurer may have a number of different reasons for paying out a policy. It may be due to a catastrophic collision or accident, or it may have to do with a vehicle being stolen. In this latter case, as an example, a vehicle will be designated as salvage regardless of its present state.
Dealer auctions are, of course, nothing new. They take place across the country each and every day. These are auctions wherein any number of used and salvage cars may be auctioned off. However, the majority of these auctions have been largely closed to the public.
Online dealer auctions have changed all this. There are now some websites that exist that allow ordinary consumers to access these auctions online. They function in much the same way as any other online auction site you may be familiar with – like eBay, for example. Much like these other websites, online dealer auctions are perfectly safe, offering a variety of protections for their users.
See What Salvage Cars Are Available to Buy in Online Auctions Today!
If you're looking to purchase a vehicle at a fraction of its cost, then salvage cars are an excellent place to start. Through a search in an online auction, you should be able to find a salvage car to buy that meets your needs. If you're looking for something that's in serviceable to good condition, start your search with theft-recovery and repossession vehicles. If you're looking for a project for your garage, broaden your search to all kinds of vehicles.
So, consider your options when it comes to salvage cars, and believe in the safety that online dealer auto auctions provide. Going this route just might be a decision that saves you thousands upon thousands of dollars on your next vehicle!

Fun; In the fall 2013 the pop-up restaurant DILL opened in Stockholm and became the place to go for foodies, it was quickly sold out and people raved about the fine dining at affordable prices. After the first brouhaha had died down, it was official – all the ingredients used in the restaurant came from LIDL (throw the letters around and you get DILL) and people was caught with their pants down (that is what I think) since LIDL isn't the epitome of high end quality to most, specially foodie snobs.
Sounds very similar to a small chain we have here called Aldi. The selection changes depending on the season/holiday…. or they have items for that season/holiday. I don't have one close so I don't go often. Funny how they fooled the public, tho.
I really miss Lidl since moving to Chile! I never liked Aldi as much, but right now I'd be happy to see either one!
For a long time I only bought packaged stuff at lidl, but eventually I tried the meat. It's standard supermarket meat, so probably comes from exactly the same place as the sainsbury's or tescos (insert name of swedish equivalent here).
I bought my cheese and butter there always, and if I remember, their fresh squeezed orange juice was the cheapest in town.
And of course the fun of finding stuff that you didn't know you needed until you saw it in the shop. I miss Lidl.

And Walsworth's Video Contest winners are…
Walsworth's 2012 Video Contest has been a whole lot of fun. We've enjoyed watching all the entries, from the goofy to the creative to the serious.
Now it's time to crown our four winners, who will each win a $250 Makeover for their school's yearbook room!
November 19, 2012 / 2012 Video Contest / Video
Iowa Falls-Alden yearbook video reminds you not to blink
With the theme for this year's yearbook, the staff at Iowa Falls-Alden High School in Iowa Falls, Iowa, wanted students to recognize how fast the years fly by and remind them "to not blink or you'll miss it and to preserve the memories by buying a yearbook."
The video the staff submitted for Walsworth's 2012 Video Contest is based on this year's theme. It includes current pictures of this year's seniors, compared with pictures from when they were younger.
Ilwaco video shows you all the uses for a yearbook
With their entry in Walsworth's 2012 Video Contest, the staff from Ilwaco High School in Ilwaco, Wash., shows you multiple uses for a yearbook.
I'm willing to bet you probably never thought of most of these while creating your book. Props to Ilwaco for their creativity, and a great sense of humor.
A yearbook PSA from Waukesha West
Here's a video from Waukesha West High School in Waukesha, Wis., that serves as a yearbook PSA of sorts, walking their customers through the yearbook ordering process.
Of course, as you'll see, it's not all serious instructions. There's an obvious fun tone.
Tri-Central yearbook staff gets ready for Winter Sale
With their submission for Walsworth's 2012 Video Contest, the yearbook staff from Tri-Central High School in Sharpsville, Ind., showed they're getting ready for their upcoming Winter Yearbook Sale.
This commercial, which offers a preview of some of the photos that will appear in this year's yearbook, is already playing on the school's website.
You won't want to forget them at Blennerhassett Middle School
They've got a lot of fun, new teachers this year at Blennerhassett Middle School in Parkersburg, W.V., which is what prompted the production of a video to introduce them all at open house and then in turn promote yearbook sales.
The yearbook staff's pitch with the video has been, "Would you want to forget these people?"
Sherwood High yearbook staff like a family
All the students at Sherwood High School in Creighton, Mo., become like a tight-knit family during their years there. That was the message the yearbook staff wanted to express with their video for our 2012 Video Contest.
The inspiration was a parody of High School Musical, and as the staff described, "Whether you are a band member, football player, or drama student we are all working for a common goal. To survive high school. The yearbook will help us to remember that we were all in it together."
Lakeview yearbook video shows off school pride
With their entry in Walsworth's 2012 Video Contest, the yearbook staff from Lakeview High School in Columbus, Neb., wanted to show off how important school pride was at their school.
The video represents, as they put it, "the pride our school has for academics, as well as athletics."
