Advanced Thermoelectric Cooling for Optoelectronics
Used to source, detect, and control light, optoelectronics are increasingly important in a wide range of automotive, telecom, and industrial applications. With high beam quality and low energy consumption, optoelectronics offer superior performance at a low cost. Due to the potentially high-temperature environments in which these optoelectronic components operate, active thermoelectric coolers are used for temperature stabilization to ensure maximum performance and long-life operation.
The optoelectronics sector includes a number of applications across a swath of industries. Laser diodes and optical transceivers are among the more established technologies; laser diodes have been utilized in fiber optic communications, barcode readers, CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc reading/recording, laser scanning, and light beam illumination, while optical transceivers are key components in communications networks. Infrared Range (IR) sensors are found in applications such as temperature sensing, video surveillance and motion detection. They're also used to test the quality of solder joints in manufacturing and to ensure even distribution of anti-icing spray on airplane wings during the winter. Most recently, infrared range sensors were used to detect people's body temperatures as a security and safety measure in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a survey-mapping technology that uses light waves to detect objects in 3D by measuring the time it takes for laser pulses to bounce off objects at a distance. It is used for land management and planning including hazard assessment, forestry, agriculture, and geologic mapping and most recently in autonomous vehicle systems.
Laser diodes enable fast data transmission at very far distances in modern telecommunication systems.
Despite these diverse applications, however, one fact is true for all: Temperature stabilization of the optics and associated electronics is vital for proper operation and performance.
Application Challenges
Optoelectronics applications have a number of thermal requirements and challenges that designers must take into consideration during design.
Laser Diodes and Optical Transceivers
By converting electrical current into high-intensity light, laser diodes enable data transmission over significant distance in modern fiber-optic communication systems. They are also bundled together in industrial processing to form a high-power laser that can cut through materials and in LiDAR technology used to map the area surrounding an autonomous vehicle.
Whether used for fiber optics in telecommunications, industrial processing, or autonomous systems, temperature stabilization is critical in maintaining the diodes' peak performance and ensuring long-life operation. Because laser diode package temperatures can reach +85°C in an outdoor environment, waste heat must be dissipated to keep the laser below its maximum operating temperature. If the temperature fluctuates, it impacts the laser's wavelength. For every three degrees of temperature, wavelength can change up to one nanometer. In telecommunications applications, for example, operating at shorter blue and UV wavelengths allow more information to be stored on optical disks at a higher density. Temperature must remain stable to prevent loss of data and disrupted transmission.
Also used to receive and transmit data, optical transceivers are key components of telecommunication networks. With the ability to convert electrical signals into light signals, optical transceivers enable high data transmission at very far distances.
Increased data transmission speeds with the new 5G telecommunication standard present significant thermal challenges for optical transceivers. To ensure high-performance data transmission and minimize information loss, the laser diode in transceivers must remain below +70°C. Due to their small form factor and limited access to airflow, transceivers require an active cooling solution to prevent the unit from exceeding its maximum operating temperature.
An IR sensor in surveillance cameras, for example, sends out infrared light to measure radiation (heat) in the target object and converts it into a visual image. To obtain maximum image quality, IR sensors must be cooled to minimize thermal noise, which is the difference between the target object and its surrounding environment. The sensor must be kept at an operating temperature usually well below freezing, so the camera can capture a larger light spectrum and, therefore, produce a better-quality image. Thermal noise as a result of temperature instability will disrupt and distort the image quality.
For maximum image quality, IR Sensors require active cooling to minimize thermal noise.
LiDAR/autonomous systems
LiDAR detects objects in 3D by measuring the time it takes for laser pulses to bounce off objects at a distance. LiDAR uses light waves similar to radar's use of radio waves or sonar's use of sound waves. The sensors in the LiDAR systems can read a million data points per second, enabling them to build high-quality 3D images of scanned objects or landscapes.
The lasers in LiDAR systems, particularly those used in outdoor autonomous applications, require active cooling to achieve maximum resolution in high-temperature environments. As temperatures increase, the wavelength of the laser changes, resulting in increased range error. Maintaining operational temperatures within a LiDAR system's temperature limits ensures peak performance.
Lasers in LiDAR systems require active cooling to ensure peak performance and maximum image quality.
Despite these applications differences, they share some common design challenges.
The devices and equipment used in these applications are housed in increasingly smaller packages. Cooling solutions for laser diodes, IR sensors, and optical transceivers in optoelectronics devices also must shrink to fit into a 6x8 mm or similar footprint. These small components require precision handling during material preparation, pick-n-place, and solder control.
Additionally, while standard-sized parts can use thermal grease as under-surface material, the smaller components in these applications must be soldered to the casing before being dropped into the optoelectronic package. Thermal grease can cause outgassing in the vacuum seal of a laser diode and coat optical components. For this same reason, the components' lead wires oftentimes are bare. Components must be relatively clean to ensure the imaging sensors, laser diodes, or optical transceivers remain uncontaminated.
Temperature stabilization is a key issue in these applications. For example, the typical operating temperature range for a commercial optical transceiver is 0°C to 70°C, with high-end transceivers operating up to 85°C. Housed in an 85°C environment, then cooled to 25°C, the device will almost reach maximum performance at a 60°C temperature differential with minimal heat pumping capability. While these applications need cooling, the heat removal required must be done efficiently thru low thermal resistance heat conduction paths.
Finally, the required cooling solution serves a specialized niche set of applications; the cooling solution should be optimized specifically for these environments, by a manufacturer who is an expert in the market.
Active Thermoelectric Cooling
Active thermoelectric devices such as thermoelectric coolers are used in conjunction with passive heat sinks to offer spot cooling and rapidly move heat away from sensitive optoelectronics. Thermoelectric coolers can create a temperature differential across the module, which lowers the temperature differential of the critical device by as much as ~60°C from hot side. Heat will then need to be routed thru a heat rejection mechanism, such as a thermally conductive optoelectronic package, to get the heat transferred into the air or another conduction path.
Because traditional thermoelectric cooler cannot operate efficiently in extreme outdoor temperatures, spot cooling of imaging sensors in optoelectronic applications is no easy task. At high temperatures, materials used in the installation of the thermoelectric device, including solder and copper busbars will diffuse into the thermoelectric device. This will cause the standard thermoelectric device to create a thermal short and ultimately fail.
Laird Thermal Systems' OptoTEC™ OTX/HTX thermoelectric coolers are used for temperature stabilization in high-temperature applications with tight geometric space constraints such as laser diodes.

Le Tadjabone ou Tajabone est une autre fête folklorique pour célébrer la Tamxarit (Achoura) par les jeunes au Sénégal.

Utilité
À l'occasion, les garçons et les filles déguisés parcourent les rues le soir à la tombée de la nuit en chantant et en dansant tout autour des maisons pour demander des étrennes.

Origines
L'origine de cette fête qui relève plus de la tradition sénégalaise serait née d'une habitude des talibés (élèves d'écoles coraniques ) qui, munis de leurs sébiles, allaient auparavant demander l'aumône auprès de leurs tantes et parents....

Q: Pivot: How to do a subtotal (PRODUCT) then sum the subtotal on a new column? i am using excel 2013 to create a pivot table to do a sub-total (on Field-B) and then using a sub-total (on Field-A) to add the subtotal values. As seen from below, The first part of subtotalling using PRODUCT is achieved. But when i tried to do the second
subtotal, I got 400% and Excel will just add up the 4 raw values of 100%.
How do I actually ask Excel to display a value of 100% (adding value of 'Task 1 Product' to value of 'Task 2 Product') and in a new column pls?
Is it do-able? or do i need to do somersault?  TIA !
edit: the reason i am using pivot table is because i want to change the underlying data and have the pivot table reflect the updates via refresh.
Field-A         Field-B     Field-C    Field-D
Process A       Task 1      Sub-1      0.0%
                            Sub-2      100.0%
                Task 1 Product         0.0% (*this is done*)

                Task 2      Sub-1      100.0%
                            Sub-2      100.0%
                            Sub-3      100.0%
                Task 2 Product         100.0% (*this is done*)

Process A Sum                          *i want 100.0% and not 400.0%* :(

A: Assuming that you want the result of a mathematical operation equal to:
Task 1 Product + Task 2 Product

Which in this case is equal to 100%, then you need to do the following.
In the cell which intersects {Field-D} and {Process A Sum} you need to use the SUM() function, and refer it to the cells labelled {Task 1 Product}, and {Task 2 Product}.
If your grid is set up in your example with A1 as the cell with {Process A} in it, you need to enter the following in cell D10:
=SUM(D3,D8)

The same could be achieved with:
=D3+D8

Evening is shaping, just started darkening, the dusk is going or arriving. Even whose nose is partial functional, can fathom there is grass somewhere near, although it is not as he may have nose but without having it been well connected to the brain how would he know like a learned mind who would catch it up that it is a latched ground ready to slip him down! But the wiser soul who is forcasting his eyes of certainty are blindfolded. Yes and across the way, not surprisingly, as expected, there is a yellow filament lamp, the emergence of it being viewed coming from a nearby hut. I don't know whether it is giving him goosebumps or hope or if it is justified for him to get the lamp off as if he may have taken it as just a lamp. If I meet him, I would suggest him to go on lest the vicious circle engulf him from himself like myself.

Цумштайншпитце (), или пик Цумштайн — вершина в Пеннинских Альпах на границе Швейцарии (кантон Вале), и Италии (регион Пьемонт). Высота вершины составляет 4563 метра над уровнем моря. Цумштайншпитце является четвёртой по высоте альпийской вершиной среди вершин с относительной высотой более 30 метров. Первое восхождение на вершину было совершено 1 августа 1820 года группой из 11 человек в составе Йозефа Цумштайна, Йозефа и Иоганна Н. Винсентов, Молинатти и 7 гидов и портеров. В 1994 году UIAA включила Цумштайншпитце в основной список официального перечня альпийских четырёхтысячников.

Происхождение названия
Вершина Цумштайншпитце получила своё название по фамилии итальянского топографа Йозефа Цумштайна, совершившего в составе группы из 11 человек первое восхождение на вершину.

Физико-географическая характеристика
Находится на границе Швейцарии (кантон Вале) и Италии (регион Пьемонт). Является четвёртой по высоте альпийской вершиной среди вершин с относительной высотой более 30 метров после вершин Монблан, Пик Дюфур, и Норденд. В 1994 году UIAA включила Цумштайншпитце в основной список официального перечня вершин-четырёхтысячников Альп.

Цумштайншпитце является одной из вершин массива Монте-Роза и находится на одном гребне с пиком Дюфур в 500-ах метрах севернее, и вершиной Зигналькуппе (в 700-ах метрах к юго-востоку). От пика Дюфур Цумштайншпитце отделена перевалом Гренцсаттель (Grenzsattel) с высотой седловины 4453 метра над уровнем моря, от вершины Зигналькуппе — перевалом Ньифетти (Colle Gnifetti) высотой 4452 метра. С востока вершина Цумштайншпитце ограничена крутой стеной, которая считается швейцарскими проводниками достаточно сложной и опасной. Остальные стены вершины более простые и пологие.

История восхождений
Вершина Цумштайншпитце впервые была покорена 1 августа 1820 года группой из 11 человек в составе Йозефа Цумштайна, Йозефа и Иоганна Н. Винсентов, Молинатти и 7 гидов и портеров. Йозеф Цумштайн и Молинатти являлись сотрудниками Итальянской академии наук Турина, которая отправила их в экспедицию в малоизученный на тот момент массив Монте-Роза с целью определения высоты вершин массива. Группа успешно совершила восхождение на Цумштайншпитце со стороны Италии через перевал Ньифетти, но, из-за плохой погоды, Цумштайну не удалось выполнить барометрические измерения с нужной точностью. Цумштайншпитце стал первым покорённым четырёхтысячником массива Монте-Роза в истории. Спустя год, в августе 1821 года, Цумштайн совершил повторное восхождение, во время которого ему удалось точно измерить высоту вершины.

28 июля 1882 года  и его проводник Кристиан Ранггетинер первыми прошли (на спуске с Цумштайншпитце) перевал Гренцсаттель. 31 июля 1889 года группа альпинистов в составе Акилле Ратти (позднее ставшего папой римским Пием XI), Луиджи Грасселя, Йозефа Градина и А. Промента совершили первое восхождение по восточной стене.

Первое зимнее восхождение на Цумштайншпитце совершил итальянский альпинист Этторе Аллегро с проводниками 30 марта 1902 года.

В 1951 году итальянский альпинист  пропал при попытке одиночного восхождения на вершину. Его останки были найдены только в 2007 году.

Маршруты восхождений
Классический маршрут восхождения, повторяющий маршрут первовосходителей, является довольно простым и имеет категорию I по классификации UIAA (PD по классификации IFAF). Маршрут начинается от  со стороны Италии и пролегает по юго-восточному склону Цумштайншпитце. Далее он выводит к приюту Маргарита (Refuge Margherita, или Capanna Osservatorio Regina Margherita), который является самым высокогорным приютом Западной Европы (расположен на вершине Зигналькуппе на высоте 4554 метра над уровнем моря), от которого выводит на перевал Ньифетти между вершинами Зигналькуппе и Цумштайншпитце. Другие маршруты восхождений имеют сложность I—III по классификации UIAA.

During this Fall school semester, Catamount Institute's Catamount Outdoor Schools program worked with District 11's Adams Elementary 4th and 5th-grade students. This opportunity was offered in conjunction with the GOCO Generation Wild grant received as part of a coalition to serve residents in southeastern Colorado Springs. The purpose of the grant initiative is to get more people outside. The students at Adams Elementary School learned about ecosystems, biotic and abiotic factors, dissecting a grasshopper, macroinvertebrate survey, water pollutions issues, map and compass skills, paleontology, and archeology. The comprehensive lessons gave students a glimpse into understanding what it takes to make our environment prosper.
The 5th graders ended their program with a cleanup of Memorial Park as part of Fountain Creek Week. It appeared to the Catamount Institute staff that the students were enjoying learning outdoors, but what the staff took away, more importantly, is that many students do not go outside. They have limited opportunities to explore and wonder.
A classic example happened on the first day.
A student asked if we were going to sit in grass every week. She was surprised by the answer that we were going to sit in grass each week! She did not feel comfortable sitting outside as she had really never spent time just sitting in grass.
Another time, we were categorizing biotic and abiotic factors at Prospect Lake and the students were able to observe the shoreline and excitedly list what was happening in this ecosystem. A lightbulb went off as they realized the interconnectedness of our world.
The last day during the cleanup, many students were shocked by the trash leftover in the park. As you glanced around the park, it looked relatively clean. As you got down and sat in the grass and you will find lots a micro trash that is going into the lake and our water system. The idea that cigarette butts are taking over the park was disgusting to them. During the cleanup, over seven large bags of trash were removed. In addition, one fifth grader wants to organize a cleanup for their community.
I know many will try their best not to litter. At the end of the program, the staff reflected on their experiences and understand that the students from Adams taught them to slow down, observe and take time to sit in the grass.

Kennedy Engineers Play Major Role in Mars 2020 Mission Success
August 17, 2020 August 26, 2021 Michael Lynch
When NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover roared off the pad aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41 Thursday, July 30, at 7:50 a.m., there were a lot of energized engineers on the ground at Kennedy Space Center.
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket lifts off from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on July 30, 2020, at 7:50 a.m. EDT, carrying NASA's Mars Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter.

Following the successful launch, the Florida spaceport's Director of Engineering, Shawn Quinn, offered praise to the team's support of Kennedy's Launch Services Program (LSP).
"Our LSP engineering team diligently worked through multiple milestones to achieve launch readiness," Quinn said. "Every mission presents its own unique challenges, including Mars 2020. The engineering team's response to these challenges was outstanding."
The team supported critical reviews and tests, such as: the LSP pre-Flight Readiness Review (FRR) Risk Control Board, FRR Launch Management Coordination meeting, systems certification review, and mission dress rehearsal. Engineering technical experts worked through 247 engineering review summaries in support of the historic mission.
Quinn also recognized the Engineering's Construction of Facilities (COF) team for its contributions to facility and infrastructure support.
"The real-time support to the Spaceport Integration and Services directorate in addressing operations and maintenance-related issues and concerns during processing was a critical piece to the success of the mission," Quinn said.
The team performed facility repairs and upgrades — including replacing obsolete substations, switch gears, chillers, air ventilation and conditioning systems, facility electrical, lighting, and fire protection systems at the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility Mission Operations Support Building, the Multi-Operation Support Building, the Radiothermalisotopic Generator Facility, and Hangar AE — all in support of this historic mission.
Perseverance is now on its way to seek signs of ancient life and collect rock and soil samples for possible return to Earth. Along with the rover is the Ingenuity helicopter, a technology demonstration that will be the first powered flight on Mars.The rover will arrive on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021.
The mission addresses high-priority science goals for Mars exploration, including key astrobiology questions concerning the potential for life on Mars. It not only seeks signs of habitable conditions on Mars in the ancient past, but also will search for signs of past microbial life.

4-year-old honored for saving mothers life during medical emergency
Wednesday, December 18, 2019 10:19 PM EST
A 4-year-old girl's quick thinking is being credited for saving her mother's life during a medical emergency.
Isla Glaser called 911 when her mother Haley collapsed in the kitchen.
"My mommy fell down and she can't talk," Isla told the Franklin Township police dispatcher.
Haley had collapsed due to a bacterial infection. Isla was able to relay her address to the dispatcher to help first responders.
RELATED: Jersey Proud: 4-year-old calls 911 to save mom's life
"The fact that she knew her address and she knew exactly what to say really helped us render aid as quickly as possible," says dispatcher Julie Kozo.
Isla also looked after her 2-year-old sister and twin 1-year-old brothers while waiting for police. She stood up on a chair to unlock the front door when Officer Mike Casey arrived. She even managed to quiet down her barking dogs.
"If it wasn't for, who knows what would've happened to her mother," says Officer Casey.
"I know adults that can't handle that situation with that much bravery, poise and distinction," says Lt. Phil Rizzo.
Isla was honored with a certificate, honorary police batch and a tour of the police station.
Isla's mother says that she is just grateful for how everything played out.
"I'm grateful that you were able to communicate with her in a way that truly saved my life. I'm grateful to everyone here," Haley told the first responders.

In BES12 version 12.4, BlackBerry introduced BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus for iOS 9 and later devices. One of the powerful ways you can use this feature is to set up per-app VPN and specify which apps on devices must use a VPN for their data in transit. Per-app VPN helps decrease the load on your organization's VPN by enabling only certain work traffic to use the VPN (for example, accessing application servers or webpages behind the firewall).
This feature also supports user privacy and increases connection speed for personal apps by not sending the personal traffic through the VPN.
This, of course, is just one of many VPN solutions that BES12 supports.
Benefits – What can iOS Per App VPN do for you?
Seamlessly use the Safari browser for both Internet and intranet web sites simultaneously. Domains can start the VPN connection in Safari.
Get the benefit of using any app in the Apple App Store with behind the firewall access. No working with vendors, wrapping, or SDK's required.
Enabling – How do you set it up?
In the Enterprise Connectivity profile, select the Enable BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus, Enable per-app VPN, and Allow apps to connect automatically options.
2. Assign BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus to the app or app group that your users belong to and associate the appropriate enterprise connectivity profile with the app or app group.
VPN on demand allows you to specify whether an iOS device connects automatically to a VPN in a particular domain. Client certificates provide authentication for the user's device when accessing the particular domain. For example, you can specify your organization's domain to allow users access to your intranet content using VPN on demand.
Note: If you allow all apps on iOS devices to use BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus, avoid adding On Demand rules such as "Connect" that attempt to create an "always on" VPN connection. If you do, during the activation process the device may try to establish a VPN connection before receiving the necessary profiles and certificates from BES12. As a result, the device cannot connect and the user must toggle the VPN connection to resolve the issue. It is recommended to instead use On Demand rules such as EvaluateConnection, which allow the device to receive the necessary profiles and certificates before attempting a VPN connection to specified domains.
When you click on Payload format an example of the connection requirements for VPN on demand displays. You have to use one or more keys from this example. This setting overrides the "Domain or host names that can use VPN on demand" setting in the VPN profile.
If you assign the following example of a payload format to Google Chrome for instance, when a user uses Google Chrome on their device to access a site in the example.net domain, a VPN icon displays on the device, the device connects, and the user has access to internal resources.
ConnectIfNeeded: The specified domains should trigger a VPN connection attempt if domain name resolution fails, such as when the DNS server indicates that it cannot resolve the domain, responds with a redirection to a different server, or fails to respond (timeout).
NeverConnect: The specified domains will not trigger a VPN connection nor be accessible through an existing VPN connection.
For more information about Per-App VPN Payload, see the iOS developer library.
You can also use SSID which is helpful when devices are connected to a corporate Wi-Fi network, for example. You set the SSID of your organization's Wi-Fi network in a Wi-Fi profile and then assign the profile to user accounts, user groups, or device groups.
You can set up an SSIDMatch in your On Demand Rules Dictionary so that whenever a network change is detected the VPN On Demand service compares the newly connected network against the match network criteria that you specified in your dictionary.
For more information about On Demand Rules Dictionary Keys, see the iOS developer library.

Brickmakers fire up for Christmas stocking
For the past half dozen Christmases, brickmakers (those still in jobs) would be firing up the brandy sauce rather than their kilns, but this year they may have to miss the Yuletide Strictly Come Dancing special. After five years of belt-tightening, manufacturers are having to catch up and that means working over the winter, including for some the festive period, for the first time since the financial crash.
Brick production in this country retrenched even faster than housing starts, leading to brick stocks falling by more than two-thirds (see chart 1, below). While deliveries in 2013 are likely to be down 8% on 2008, production has been cut by 24%. Plants were closed or mothballed, workforces were slashed and long winter shutdowns became the norm.
Housing Minister Kris Hopkins ironically boasted yesterday that UK manufacturers will have this year made enough bricks to stretch nine times around Earth, according to a jolly little press release from the DCLG.
A supply-demand imbalance is developing among brick layers who, no doubt, recall, like the manufacturers, being screwed down by their customers for the past several years
Sorry Kris, but that just ain't enough. Now the industry is carrying stocks equivalent to just 11 weeks of deliveries, against 32 in 2008. With the housebuilders gearing up to boost their output significantly (but not anything like government is hoping for) and commercial work recovering in some sectors, this figure could shrink even more in the months ahead.
Hence the almost entirely foreign owned industry's decision to crank up production. Ibstock, owned by Ireland's CRH, the UK's number one, plans to keep all 20 of its plants open during winter for the first time since 2007, according to the FT. Staff of Hanson (offshoot of German Heidelberg) and Austria's Wienerberger could similarly be manning the kilns rather than tucking into the Stollen and Gluewhein.
That's not to say they're going to be giving the stuff away. While Britain's housebuilders are pretty big at the top, the brick industry is dominated by an oli-, sorry, trio of global behemoths. No guesses for who has the greater pricing power; even if production goes up, prices are likely to continue a similar upwards trajectory, referred to recently by most of the builders. A similar supply-demand imbalance is developing among brick layers who, no doubt, recall, like the manufacturers, being screwed down by their customers for the past several years.
To make things worse, bricks have become trendy outside the new housing sphere (which accounts for 42% of end-users, see chart 2, above), according to architectural pundits. In October the FT's architectural critic Edwin Heathcote waxed: "For decades, brick has seemed to be confined to the endless exurban landscapes of the mass housebuilders, the much derided Noddy boxes [etc etc]. In the centre of the city it was replaced by glass, steel and spuriously colourful panels, an architecture as paper-thin in appearance and as lacking in texture as it was in ideas. But now, I hope it is safe to say, brick is back."
If, indeed, brick is back, Kris Hopkins will have to cut the ribbon on quite a few new kilns in the months ahead.

ok this one is kind of blah. it's a purse and it's only cool because i got the fabric for super cheap because they were shower curtains on clearance at target. it would be great for a younger chick (like HS or MS) or for someone who likes me more than fashion. it honestly looks a little american eagle circa 2004. there's nothing wrong with it, it's just lacking solid structure. it would also make an easy little beach tote, a mon avis.
i thought that grid pattern was smaller and would repeat more on the bag. alas.
the inside is lined in khaki giving it a very "reese's peanut butter cup" feel. and there is an interior pocket.
it was pretty cool that the grid lines matched up perfectly where the 2 front pleats were placed.
it's a yoga mat bag! notice the product styling by me, with the cell phone in pocket and the flops laid out below. tres yoga studio.
i LOVE this fabric...i was actually hesitant to give it away because i'm so in love with it. however, i do not YOG, and although it did quite well holding a bath towel in the pictures, i feel that it would get more use, if less love, in another home.
it has an adjustable strap for carrying and an elastic top to keep the mat in if she needs to do cartwheels to limber up on the way to class.
she's so cute. enjoy, jeri!

Presidential Veterans
List of Presidents Who Were Veterans
You may not be aware of this, but a good portion of our presidents served in the military before beginning their lives of political service. In this article by Hans Petersen for va.gov we get a detailed look at the military service of former presidents, including which arm of the military they served and some of the more famous highlights of their military careers. In addition to the fascinating article, Peterson provides us with a detailed list that includes the name of each veteran president, their highest rank achieved and years served in the military. While most of the former presidents held an officer rank of one level or another, only one, James Buchanan was an enlisted man, reaching the rank of private in his year of military service. Read the full article here to get all the details on our veteran presidents.
10 Facts about Presidents who were also Veterans
In this article posted on Blog.consitutioncenter.org, they look at the military careers of ten former U.S. Presidents.
Three of our former presidents held the rank of General of the Army which was the highest rank achievable at the time and they were George Washington, Ulysses Grant and Dwight Eisenhower. The article highlights so many fascinating features of each of the president's military careers, it's inspiring. You probably didn't know that while Abraham Lincoln volunteered to serve in the military and while he did not fight in any battles, he was tasked with burying the war dead, which it is said changed him and greatly influenced the way he performed as president. Find out all the amazing facts by reading the full article here.
Does Military Service Still Matter for the Presidency?
In this opinion piece by retired Army officer, John Nagl writing for washingtonpost.com, the author examines how military service plays a role in the popularity and elect-ability as well as the performance of the president. A veteran of both wars in Iraq, Nagl knows how being in battle can change the way you look at things and the decisions you might make when it comes to sending troops into war. He examines how in the past, military service was almost a prerequisite for presidential consideration. However, now, for the first time in history, none of the current presidential front runners have any military experience. Lack of military experience doesn't necessarily mean you won't make a good president, but whoever comes into office next will be taking over the longest running war the country has ever been involved with. He makes some very salient points and you'll want to read the full article here to get them all.
How Many U.S. Presidents have also been Veterans of Military Service?
Kenneth Kesner writing for blog.al.com gives us a few interesting facts on presidential military service. From the article we find out, among other things, that twenty four of our forty four presidents served in some branch of the military. We also learn that most of the presidents in office prior to World War II were veterans of the Army, while after that, the veteran presidents tended to come from the Navy.

In this biography for young adults, Mary A. Hamilton gives a British person's perspective on the 16th President of the United States. A glowing tribute to "Honest Abe", the author traces Lincoln's ancestral roots and recounts his birth in Kentucky, his youth in Indiana, his adult life in Illinois and his years in the White House. She also provides a good background on the causes and course of the American Civil War.
Hamilton is not always historically precise. For example, she erroneously names Jefferson Davis as the Southern Democratic candidate for president running against Lincoln and Douglas in 1860 rather than John C. Breckinridge. However, overall "The Story of Abraham Lincoln" is a good summarization and interesting account of the life, values and politics of Lincoln.

Banksia quercifolia, commonly known as the oak-leaved banksia, is a species of shrub that is endemic to the southwestern coast of Western Australia. It has smooth, greenish bark, wavy, wedge-shaped, serrated leaves, yellow, orange or brown flowers in cylindrical spikes, followed by broadly linear follicles surrounded by the remains of the flowers.

Description
Banksia quercifolia is a shrub that typically that grows to a height of  and does not form a lignotuber. It has smooth, greenish brown bark that becomes lightly tessellated and grey as it ages. It has wavy, serrated, narrow wedge-shaped leaves  long and  wide on a petiole  long. The flowers are arranged in a cylindrical spike  long and  wide when the flowers open. The flowers are yellow, orange or brown with the perianth  long and a stiff, gently curved pistil  long. Flowering occurs from March to November and up to thirty-five follicles develop in each head surrounded by the remains of the flowers. The follicles are broadly linear and wavy,  long,  high and  wide.

Taxonomy
The type specimen of B. quercifolia was collected by Robert Brown from around King George Sound in December 1801 when Brown was the botanist aboard HMS Investigator captained by Matthew Flinders. The species was formally described by Brown in 1810 in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.

In 1869, Ferdinand von Mueller described two varieties of B. quercifolia in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae but the names, var. integrifolia and var. quercifolia are not accepted by the Australian Plant Census.

Distribution and habitat
Oak-leaved banksia occurs on the south coast of Western Australia from D'Entrecasteaux National Park in the west to Mount Manypeaks in the east where it is commonly grows in depressions, seasonally wet flats and along the margins of swamps, in white or grey peaty sandy soils.

Ecology
An assessment of the potential impact of climate change on this species found that its range is likely to contract by between 50% and 80% by 2080, depending on the severity of the change.

Use in horticulture
Banksia quercifolia is a fast-growing, bushy shrub that flowers within five years from seed. The flowers are sometimes hidden but are numerous and persist for many years. Because of its natural habitat, it may tolerate more moisture than other banksias. Seeds do not require any treatment, and take 25 to 40 days to germinate.

When I first saw this dress, Faith Hill's "There You'll Be" automatically played in my mind. How random can my brain get? I guess it might have something to do with the military feel this dress exudes. It reminded me so much of the movie "Pearl Harbor". Of course, in this scenario, I'm Kate Beckinsale. LOL!
As much as I was tempted to style this dress with a dramatic hat and khaki outerwear, I decided I'd make it a bit modern and add a little sass to it by wearing a leopard print blazer over it instead. There goes my Kate Beckinsale dreams. I just couldn't resist putting my own twist to this vintage-looking number. I am a 21st century woman after all!
i love the hair with that lazy-low-ponytail style. i love the vintage earrings. i love the lipstick. i love the bracelet and rings i love the blazer. i love the dress. i love the shoes. i so love Camille Co!! and I am so freakin' obsessed right now. lesbi mode?! lol!
i just love your shoes. :)) bongggaaaaaaa!!
Wow I love the dress, very retro-inspired! And those heels are fierce!
the heels! wow! superb! you look like a beautiful and hot military. madame yes madame! :) BTW, miss Camille what is the style of your hair? is it layered or not?
The whole ensemble are to die for. Awesome!
your shoooooesss :OOO so pretty! just like you!!
I love everything! Although, I wish you took a pic where you actually wore the blazer cos I want to see kung ano ang effect nya hehe… Anywayz, here I go again with my random Q's, I'm just wondering how do you keep track of the sponsored clothes? Like pano mo naalala kung kaninong shop nanggaling etc.? La lang lol cos I bet you get lots of sponsored items and I'm just wondering how you sort them out when you wear them na, how do you remember the links to credit?
Yes! Love this pair :) One of my first luxury brand shoes :) Thank you Angelic!
Oh! oh!I see the grin! You look so pretty when you smile like that :) The way you mixed vintage with modern, superb!!!
You're looking so damn beautiful. This colour does suit you skin tone. Those shoes are a killer!!!
Brian Atwood heels dominated this outfit. I love his shoes!
How can those heels can't hurt…? So pretty though.
They're okay :) I've worn worse haha!
Thanks Hazel! :) Feminine version of ROTC!
The always stunning. I Love you Ate Cam., Ate, I'm planning to take UP Fashion Design or stylist. I'm still thinking, Haha., is it okay to take up these course to SOFA? if your familiar with that school?
Ohhhh! Okay! Go for gold!
Hahaha! Emote to death! Thanks MG!
Oh, I loved this dress!!! And the heels are very different from every shoe I've seen! Its very singular! But it really worked out with the dress and the cardigan!
Gorgeous outfit! Your shoes are insaneeee! Love it!
where did you shot this? nice back drop + nice outfit. so pretty!
When i first saw your post, the 1st word that came to my mind was 'military'. :) I really like the combination, military and animal print, so modern! The gold buttons on the dress and your gold accessories look great! Hyped it!
:) very pretty. I like it much..

Verizon adds Alibaba Cloud to its Secure Cloud Interconnect Ecosystem
Verizon has expanded Secure Cloud Interconnect to allow its customers to privately connect to Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of the Alibaba Group. Verizon's customers – particularly those looking to expand into the Asia-Pacific region – can now benefit from a secure and direct connection using MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) to one of the world's fastest growing cloud service providers.
The addition of Alibaba Cloud in Singapore and Hong Kong brings the number of Cloud Service Providers accessible from Verizon Secure Cloud Interconnect to 10, covering over 72 locations globally.
"In the past, organizations had to connect with multiple cloud service providers through the public Internet, which meant less control and visibility over policies and security measures," commented Vickie Lonker, vice president of product management and development at Verizon. "Today, via Secure Cloud Interconnect, organizations have the freedom and flexibility to quickly establish and manage workloads with leading cloud service providers through a consumption-based connectivity service with end to end visibility and control. This allows customers to deploy new applications and services faster than ever before. We are happy to help our customers who have chosen to use Alibaba Cloud to make that connection via private networking."
Secure Cloud Interconnect, with its growing ecosystem of market leading cloud service providers and hyper-scalers, continues to be a strategic capability within Verizon's Software Defined and Virtual Services platform. The service may be turned up in minutes after a valid order submission, instead of days, which can significantly reduce new cloud connection deployment time. Upon connection, bandwidth can be spun up and down in minutes.
Verizon manages 500,000+ network, hosting, and security devices and 4,000+ networks in 150+ countries.

Ocean Tomo Prepares Study of Illinois Patent Quality for Crain's Chicago Business Eureka Index and Releases Further Insight on the Technology Prowess of Illinois Companies
Thu, 4/3/2014 - 12:00AM — OCEAN TOMO
Chicago, IL, April 3, 2014 – Ocean Tomo, LLC, the intellectual capital merchant banc™ firm, announced today the publishing of the 2014 Eureka Index, exclusively in the March 30th – April 5th issue of Crain's Chicago Business, recognizing patent quality among Illinois companies. Ocean Tomo also released a further study of the leading technology classes among the top 20 ranked companies in Illinois.
The Eureka index, which ranks companies and institutions in the state of Illinois with three of more issued patents in 2013, was performed using the Ocean Tomo Ratings™ system. The system gives each issued patent an OTR™ score, which is an objective and statistically valid assessment of the quality of individual patents, and collectively patent portfolios.
While the volume of patenting in Illinois varied greatly, the relative quality of patents issued in 2013 to Illinois companies and institutions was highly consistent between educational institutions, public and private companies.
As reported by John Pletz in "Crain's Eureka Index Ranks Chicago's Most Innovative Companies", Midtronics, Inc is this year's top company with an average OTR score of 178. Cummins-Allison (2) and Gogo (3) join Midtronics (1) as the top three Illinois companies for patent quality. Each has an average OTR™ Score of 158 or higher, placing their patents among the top 5% of all US rated patents. Powermag(4), Riddell (5) and Lifeline Scientific (6) each have an average OTR score of 141 or higher, placing their patents among the top 10% of all rated US patents. Rounding out the top ten companies for patent quality in Illinois are: HydroGear (7), Trading Technologies (8), Chicago Tag & Label (9) and Redbox Automated Retail (10).
Ocean Tomo also released an expanded study that identifies the average OTR score and number of patents within the top three United States Patent Classes for each of the top 20 companies. The number two company, Cummins-Allison Corporation has 23 patents in USPC 382 (Image Analysis) with an average OTR score of 188.4 making USPC 382 the highest rated class among the Eureka Index companies. Visit OceanTomo.com/illinois-tech to view the top three technology classes for each of the Top 20 Companies in Illinois.
The Patent Quality Study conducted for Crains highlights the level and focus of innovation happening in Illinois. New Ocean Tomo Managing Director Dr. Darius Sankey commented on the index, "If you look at the innovation on this list, we've got the latest in new technology, and it's all happening here in the Midwest."
Dr. Sankey leads Ocean Tomo's Innovation Management business unit which includes Venture Development practice, providing operating company clients an outsourced venture capital service platform to accelerate innovation while managing risk. "We've got an impressive mix. It's not as concentrated in one or two industries like Silicon Valley or Boston. But that's Chicago's strength—it's so diversified," said Dr. Sankey.

LOUIS XIII DEBUTS THE TIME COLLECTION WITH THE ORIGIN 1874
In a fantastic tribute to its history, Louis XIII has taken a trip back in time with the glorious unveiling of The Time Collection, with a series of limited editions that invites one to transcend time and legend. The First Release in the Series "The Origin – 1874" is a tribute to the original decanter created for Louis XIII.
Not only the LOUIS XIII de Rémy Martin is a blend of 1,200 eaux de vie between 40 and 100 years old, aged in oak barrels that are several hundred years old. The decanter differs from current design by having 13 dentelle spikes rather than the 10 used today. In addition, the traditional crystal fleur-de-lis stopper has been replaced by a handblown image of an upturned flagon.
The neck and collar seal are in a champagne-gold hue, the decanter is housed in an elegant metal case and features a sleek woven texture. Today, the gorgeous decanter is crafted from pure Saint-Louis crystal, and housed in a sophisticated metal case, fashioned with a reimagination of the original wicker baskets that cased the very first Louis XIII bottles. It is sealed with a slender metal rod, like the baskets were in their day.
Of course, the Cognac inside is still the historic blend, brimming with honeysuckle and leather along with floral fruits and spices, all of which shows that the elegance of Louis XIII has not changed throughout its illustrious history. The Origin 1874 ($5000) will be available at selected fine wine and spirits merchant worldwide and in Beijing's Louis XIII boutique.
