Recovery Mode is what your iPhone goes into when you are doing a standard iOS upgrade or restore, but you may want to put your iPhone into recovery mode for other reasons (often related to jailbreak).
Recovery Mode is different from DFU mode because DFU mode bypasses the bootloader which allows for things like downgrading firmware. You cannot downgrade firmware with Recovery Mode, you can only upgrade or restore.
I thought it is best to put it down here, as much as for my own archiving and to share with you.
• Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes informing you that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected.
Press and hold the Home button (The circular one) and the Sleep/Wake button (Power ON/OFF button) at the same time.
After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until your iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
So what do you do if the on/off switch and home button are both not working???

The Importance of Betty Boop as the First Illustrated Sex Symbol
An appreciation of the historic illustrated character on her 90th birthday
By Elyssa Goodman
With her signature red lips, black curls, shapely legs, and well-placed garter, Betty Boop began her climb to style icon and sex symbol status on this day in 1930.
Interestingly enough, the now-iconic character first began as an anthropomorphized French poodle with curves and legs for days in Fleischer Studios' "Talkartoon" short called "Dizzy Dishes." She was the singing but non-speaking object of affection meant for main character Bimbo the dog. "Lovin', I have to have lovin'/ But when I'm having my lovin'/I have to have boop-boop-a-doop," she sang in that signature Brooklynese squeak first created by voice artist Margie Hines, who also voiced Olive Oyl. She would become one of six women to voice Betty Boop over the years, as would Mae Questel, whose voice is featured in more Betty films than any others (she would later voice Olive Oyl as well). Yet Betty wasn't meant to exist beyond the one cartoon, but she quickly captured audiences' attention.
Produced by Max Fleischer and directed by his brother Dave, Betty was given her own series of shorts by 1932, sans poodle ears. Her voluptuous figure would stay, however, since the divine Miss Boop, much unlike other cartoon stars at the time, was meant primarily for adult audiences. She was saucy but not vulgar, a burlesque of the time's animation beloved by both men and women. As one critic shared in 1932, "Mister Fleischer gave her a doll-like Face with those baby eyes……..BUT also a mature figure……..with oo-la-la curves……..and a boudoir languor on her walk……..if you get what we mean." Betty's signature look and sound was derived at first from white jazz singer Helen Kane, but it was revealed later that Kane actually copied the performance of black singer Esther Jones, who then went by "Baby Esther."
Female cartoon characters at the time were predominantly animals, merely the feminized version of their male counterparts—think Minnie Mouse's eyelashes and flower hat to Mickey's buttoned shorts. But there wasn't a standalone female human character yet, much less an unmarried one with purposely heightened sex appeal. Yet her coquettish coo belied her strength, and she was as much a product of Depression-era toughness as she was a creation of the male gaze. In the short "Minnie the Moocher," for example, she strives for a life outside of the tenements into which she was born. And she was always victorious in bouts with male pursuers who tried to have their way with her against her will. Betty wasn't punished for her sexuality: she was celebrated for it.
Betty thrived in the days before the Hays Code, the censorship guidelines that began governing Hollywood in 1934. But the Motion Picture Production Code deemed Betty's swish and shape too provocative for audiences, so by the mid-1930s the Fleischers traded her decolletage-and-thigh bearing dresses for more modest ensembles and "wholesome" activities like babysitting. Her popularity declined in response. By 1939, Betty was out of a job, no longer in production.
But Betty Boop has never been too far from cultural memory, especially with her syndicated cartoons making their way to small screens in 1955. Ever since then, the first illustrated sex symbol has maintained a constant space in culture, from small screen to big, from fashion to beauty, and beyond. In 2012, when Betty became the face of Lancôme's Hypnôse Star Mascara with supermodel Daria Werbowy, then Worldwide President of Lancôme Sue Youcef Nabi called the petite beauty "the greatest feminine cartoon star of all time. Sensual, sexy, and charming...she knows how to put on a show, thanks to her mischievous character full of whimsical charm, her playful spirit, and her timeless youth." Similarly, MAC and Zac Posen developed Betty collections in 2017, the former a Betty Boop Red lipstick, the latter a pair of dresses in the official Pantone shade of Betty Boop Red.
Though her original reign was short, Betty Boop's sly sexuality and flirty femininity made her an icon for generations to come. Having starred in over 100 films, she's been teasing audiences since day one. Even 89 years later, she shows no signs of stopping.

Ted Samodel was born and raised in Norwalk, CT. He was the fifth child of Nick and Marie Samodel, having the dubious honor of having FOUR older sisters. His first instrument was the accordion, which was a short-lived endeavor, as once he heard a trumpet being played at a Boy Scout meeting at age 12, he was hooked for life!
From that point, Ted was involved in everything to do with playing trumpet throughout his school years. After graduating from Brien McMahon High School in 1981, Ted continued his musical training at Western Connecticut State University. He graduated in 1985 with a Bachelor of Music in Trumpet Performance degree before going on to University of Bridgeport where he obtained his Master's degree in Music Education and CT Teacher Certification in 1987.
Some of his past trumpet teachers have been Ron Stinson, Jimmy Maxwell, Frank Fighera, and Jon Faddis.
Ted has been teaching in Branford, first at Branford High School as Director of Bands, and currently at JB Sliney Elementary School since 2013. Prior to that, he taught General Music, Band, Jazz Ensemble, and Chorus to grade pre-Kindergarten through grade 6 for Haddam-Killingworth Public Schools from 1987-2001.
Also during that time, he worked as Brass Instructor and Assistant Band Director for the nationally acclaimed Norwalk High School Marching Band from 1985-1995, having been appointed to this position by his former high school Band Director, Jeff Smith. During those 10 years, the NHS Band and brass sections were well-known and well-awarded in competitive marching band circuits throughout the entire east coast and in other parts of the country, a legacy that continues today.
Ted continues to also be an active member of Connecticut Music Educator's Association as a Head Judge for Regional and All State audition festivals each year. As well, he has been sought-after as a guest conductor and clinician.
As an active professional trumpet player, Ted is called for a variety playing engagements throughout the year, including theater orchestras, wedding ceremonies, special events (even playing the National Anthem at minor league baseball games!), and plays in a variety of bands and orchestras as a freelance player, occasionally subbing in jazz groups like the New Haven Jazz Orchestra, and other area big bands.
From 2003-2007, Ted played lead trumpet in his own Contemporary Christian group, Tower of Praise, an 11-piece horn band. He currently plays keyboard on the Worship Team at Grace Community Church in Madison.
"Pursuing music as an active form of worship has become a profound desire, both personally and professionally. My ability to do anything at all musically is a profound gift from God, so seeking to use that gift for His glory in return makes perfect sense".
When not teaching or playing, Ted loves to spend time with his family. His wife is also a teacher, having taught in private and public schools as well as tutoring academic subjects.
In his spare time Ted enjoys listening to music, studying the Bible, producing music projects/events, computers, hiking, biking, working out, sport shooting, and building projects.
Ted is the CT sales rep for Warburton Custom Trumpet Mouthpieces. Visit them at
www.warburton-usa.com
Some of the THEATER SHOWS I've played lead trumpet for, some shows multiple times:
Finian's Rainbow
Shiny Stockings
The Pirates of Penzance
Jane Ayre
Seussical: The Musical
Li'l Abner
Elton John and Tim Rice's "Aida"
Shrek: The Musical

among others.
As a Music Educator:
With over 30 years as a public school music teacher, I have taught students from preKindergarten through college age. Because of this, I have a unique perspective on how students learn music.
I am also adept in using very powerful, tried-and-true teaching methods, as well as cutting-edge music technology to help students (and teachers) achieve at their highest level of achievement.
If you are looking for a master teacher for lessons or the classroom, I can help.
As a Clinician:
I have been given numerous opportunities to present workshops and teaching sessions to both student and adult groups on a variety of topics ranging from instrumental music performance skills, trumpet and brass techniques, music technology (SmartMusic), music literacy, and more.
I have experience with, and am very comfortable presenting/speaking to groups of any size.
Contact me with your presentation ideas and we will work together to meet the needs of your group.

ESTA Fee – How To Pay & What Is The Price For ESTA?
How to pay for ESTA and what is the fee?
Your application will not be submitted without a valid credit or debit card.
If you are paying for more than one ESTA then you are able to submit one transaction for your group, for example, a business, a family or another type of group. The maximum number of applications you can submit in one transaction is 50. While you may have submitted the applications together, your travelers do not need to travel together.
Payment with credit card and debit card is completely secure when using the ESTA system as it does not store your card information following confirmation of your transaction. However, you should check the security of any third party service that you are using; they will need to have a recognized secure certificate (SSL).


The motorcycle-borne gunmen opened fire at a shop in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province. Witnesses said the attack took place on the Prince road.
Four people died at the scene while two others succumbed to their injuries in a military hospital. The gunmen fled after the attack, Xinhua reported.
The Hazara Democratic Party in Quetta has condemned the attack and its supporters have staged a protest outside the hospital where two of the victims were admitted.
Shia groups have, meanwhile, announced a three-day mourning.
Heavy police contingents were deployed in the city.

Informacje na temat Hallgrímskirkja
Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran church, located on top of the Skólavörðuhæð hill in the centre of Reykjavík. At 74.5 metres (245 feet) tall, it is the largest church in Iceland, and its tower offers a spectacular panoramic view over the city.
History and Design
The church was designed by one of Iceland's most renowned architects, Guðjón Samúelsson, who is said to have sought inspiration for his expressionistic design from elements of Icelandic nature.
These include glaciers, mountains and lava formations, particularly the hexagonal basalt columns that surround the waterfall Svartifoss in Skaftafell Nature Reserve, in Vatnajökull National Park. These have influenced the architecture of many structures in Iceland, as well as a whole host of other artistic projects.
It is also designed to resemble Thor's hammer, with the handle facing up, as a nod to Iceland's religious history.
The church took 41 years to build, with construction starting in 1945 and finishing in 1986. The leaders of the Church of Iceland wanted a building that would tower over the Catholic Church of Landakotskirkja, also designed by Samúelsson.
The large pipe organ inside Hallgrímskirkja, consisting of over 5000 pipes, was built by German Johannes Klais of Bonn and its construction was completed in December 1992.
Outside the church stands one of the most famous statues of one of Iceland's most legendary children, Leifur Eiríksson, by American sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder; Eiríksson was a Norse explorer from Iceland who discovered the continent of North America in the year 1000, more than half a century before Christopher Columbus.
The statue was a gift from the United States in 1930, on the millennial anniversary of Iceland's legislative body, the Alþingi, founded in Þingvellir in 930 AD. This was the world's first democratically elected parliament and is now located in Reykjavík.
The church's namesake is the Icelandic priest Hallgrímur Pétursson, a 17th-century poet and author of the Passion Hymns (Passíusálmar). These hymns are a vital part of Icelandic religious tradition and a staple of local literature, having been reprinted over 75 times since their original publishing in 1666.
The tower of the church is each day visited by hundreds of spectators who seek to enjoy its sweeping view of the capital. The observation tower can be accessed via a lift. There is a small fee to ascend above the clock, which goes towards the maintenance and running of the church.
Hallgrímskirkja counts as the most iconic landmark of the city of Reykjavík and is visible throughout most of the capital, challenged only by the concert hall and conference centre Harpa. It is a useful tool for navigating as visitors wander the streets.
It also serves as a focal meeting point for several cultural events, such as the annual gathering for watching the fireworks on New Year's Eve. On this night, thousands of people set off dozens of fireworks in an ad-hoc, somewhat chaotic, yet unbelievably dazzling show.
In the lead-up to the night many shops sell protective goggles that are recommended for all observers, particularly children, due to a few incidents of debris falling from poorly aimed fireworks.

5 must-know snack trends
07 June 2021, 08:05 AM
From mindful snacking to the return of on-the-go eating, Speciality Food discovers the latest products and formats to shake up the sector
Over the past year, snacks have taken on a new significance for consumers. What were once simple indulgences became sources of much-needed comfort and security during a troubling and uncertain time. Snacks also played a role in breaking up the day for those working from home. One October 2020 survey of US consumers by The Hartman Group found that distraction played a role in a whopping 40% of snacking occasions, while 43% of respondents said they snacked to cope with boredom or frustration.
These changing habits have ignited the development of new products and created new stocking opportunities for retailers. As Britain's lockdown measures ease, it's time to take a fresh look at the latest trends in snacking to discover the products that will pack a punch in the months to come.
"Over the past 12 months Covid-19 has significantly changed how consumers go about their day-to-day lives," says FMCG Gurus marketing manager Will Cowling. And while this initially led to a craving for traditional sweet and salty snacks, a growing health-consciousness is taking root, reshaping consumers' priorities.
"FMCG Gurus research shows that in February 2021, 63% of consumers stated that the virus has made them more conscious about their overall health," Will says. "Although the peak of the virus has passed, the concern has risen by 4% from July in 2020. This shows that consumers are re-evaluating their attitudes to health and wellness and questioning what issues beyond the virus could be impacting their overall health, such as current diets and lifestyles and the health risks these pose later in life."
But the latest health kick doesn't mean less snacking. Will explains, "Although consumers are stating they are planning on eating and drinking more healthily, 55% of UK consumers state they have snacked more frequently in the last month." This means a healthy makeover is in order for your snacking aisles.
Matt Hodgetts, speciality and foodservice manager at Peter's Yard, agrees that healthy snacks will see a boost in innovation, helped by changing government regulations. "The National Food Strategy due in July 2021 and the impact on HFSS [high fat, salt and sugar food and drink] regulations will result in lots of innovation in the category," Matt says. Indeed, new brands are making the most of this convergence of government regulations and consumer habits with new launches, such as Good & Honest's popped veggie crisps, Pep & Lekker's seed snacks the Mindful Snacker's new Simply Roasted range of healthier crisps.
"Changes in regulations may give secondary space and advertising space to brands whose products comply with the regulations," Matt says. "This is a fantastic opportunity for better-for-you brands and brings more competition to the market which will give consumers a better selection."
The push for healthier snacking will also be a call to arms for transparency, with brands that make their ingredients and health claims clear pulling into the lead. "Especially with increased awareness of links between Covid-19 and other underlying health issues, consumers are becoming more aware of what exactly is going into their food," says Zoe Oates, director at The Honest Bean, which makes fava bean snacks and dips. "This is where brands like The Honest Bean succeed, as it is transparent about what goes into its products, with a minimal ingredient list. They're also brimming with B-vitamins and high in potassium, magnesium and iron."
Snacks that have tangible benefits for consumers, such as boosting energy levels or immunity, will be of particular interest. "Consumers are turning to functional snacking options such as high protein bars and typical sports nutrition snacks, highlighting that a proportion of consumers are moving away from traditional snacking products and looking to healthier alternatives," FMCG Gurus' Will says. "Protein has been a growing trend for the last couple of years, with around half of all UK consumers seeking to add extra protein to their diets," Zoe adds.
Lucinda Clay, co-founder of Munchy Seeds, has also noticed a big shift towards snack solutions that "give the satisfaction and great taste consumers love, along with quality, natural ingredients, that also nourish and boost energy". She continues, "Our seeds fit this consumer demand perfectly, because you can snack on something savoury or sweet whilst enjoying a good dose of protein, fibre and omega 3. A win-win for today's snackers."
Sustainable innovations
While health-giving snacks have seen a clear Covid boost, they aren't the only products consumers are reaching for. As ever, there is also a focus on products with a limited impact on the environment and which make the most of local ingredients.
Traditionally, consumers focused on plant-based options or products with sustainable packaging when seeking out eco-friendly foods. Now, savvy shoppers go even further. "Consumers are no longer just looking at plant-based options, they're now conscious about the whole supply chain," says Zoe. "Some foods, such as avocados and almonds, are known for putting a strain on the environment and depleting water resources, making them unsustainable to grow and import." With conscious consumerism on the rise, it's no surprise that consumers are beginning to focus on products that use sustainable ingredients. Fava beans, for instance, are grown in the UK, are eco-friendly to farm and offer an alternative to other pulses such as chickpeas which tend to be grown in the Middle East before being transported to the UK to make products including houmous. "Fava beans also fix nitrogen, improving soil health and reducing the need for nitrogen-based fertilisers, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions, ticking all the boxes for the growing number of consumers seeking a sustainable option," Zoe says.
With eagle-eyed shoppers searching for the most sustainable products on the shelves, stocking more sustainable, left-field options could find you a crowd pleaser. Take Small Giants, for example. The brand uses insect powder in its snacks to offer a more sustainable alternative to other proteins. "We are witnessing an epochal transition from traditional meat-based proteins to a wider range of alternatives. This is happening because people are increasingly aware of the devastating impact of traditional proteins," says Francesco Majno of Small Giants. "I personally believe that we should be forward-looking, aiming towards game-changer solutions that, although more complex, could bring greater benefits to future generations.
"Insects are among the most promising alternatives, offering huge benefits both in terms of nutritional values and sustainability. That's why at Small Giants we have developed insect-based snacks," he continues. Could insect-based snacks take off, or is it just a passing fad? "In the past, when a new food was introduced into another culture, it usually took time to be accepted," Francesco says. "Today, the acceptance phase has drastically shortened, people are now used to dining out and to buying food from all around the world. So it's not surprising that 42% of Brits are now willing to try insects."
The return of on-the-go formats
With lockdown restrictions easing, brands are once again prioritising the development of on-the-go products. "Healthy on-the-go snacking, is undoubtedly a growing market ripe with innovation," says Julian Campbell, founder of Funky Nut Co. The brand has launched a plant-based peanut butter filled pretzel snack to tie in with the vegan and health trends, and its resealable pack is key, making it ideal for catering to consumers who will once again be snacking while out and about.
Healthy snack brand Kallø is also making a move back to on-the-go eating after a change in habits during lockdown. "Demand increased for Kallø's jumbo packs of rice and corn cakes during the pandemic, and as lockdown lifts, we're turning our attention to smaller pack formats to meet the needs of consumers on the move," says Hayley Murgett, Kallø brand controller at Ecotone UK. "With rice cakes consumed on 1.8 occasions per week and 22.3% of these occasions being 'carried out' of home, Kallø is extending its much-loved chocolate and yogurt topped range into an on-the-go twin pack format," Hayley says.
Moments of joy
Although demand for healthy snacks is evidently growing, consumers are still looking to indulge while they snack, occasionally turning to products that don't necessarily have healthy credentials. "FMCG Gurus' insights show that products such as potato chips, chocolate and biscuits have increased since July 2020," Will says. "This suggests that there is a slight attitude vs behavior gap as consumers are not willing to cut out products which they associate with moments of indulgence and comfort in times of uncertainty."
The sweet spot will be snacks that blend health with providing a source of joy. "As people have spent more time at home over the past year, they have looked to food and drink to provide them with moments of simple pleasure at home," adds Matt. "Peter's Yard has played well into this treating occasion." Indeed, during the Covid pandemic, Peter's Yard has seen a "significant uplift" in sales in the speciality retail sector, offsetting a fall in foodservice sales. The brand has also seen sales grow due to the rise of meal delivery boxes, cheese subscription boxes, hampers and grazing platters. "With the absence of restaurant trade, consumers have chosen to treat themselves at home and have discovered new speciality products." With consumers already convinced of the benefits of speciality snacks, it's up to retailers to stock the right products to satisfy demand.

Why did I often find it hard to cope with the Church?
I promised to write about myself, so as to fill a gap some of you have found in How to Cope with the Church. I said I would tell something of my own journey. Here are some of my earliest memories of that journey.
What did I first find hard to cope with?
Firstly, I have never really been religious. I have never liked ceremony, dressing up or any of the obvious physical aspects of religion. My parents were not atheists, but were not regular churchgoers either. We went at Christmas, Easter (sometimes) and to weddings. The language of the King James's Bible and the 1662 Prayer Book were as offputting as the hardness of the pews. In addition, I found kneeling uncomfortable, distracting me from whatever was being said. I was not sorry that my parents valued our time together, often going into the countryside. Therefore, they didn't make me go to Sunday School (whatever that was).
What was easier to cope with?
When I went to Bristol University, I was amazed to find that quite a lot of people went to Church voluntarily, even getting up on Sunday mornings. Some students ran lots of Christian activities through the week. There were Bible studies and prayer-and-fellowship meetings. On Saturday nights, they held sessions of singing relatively modern hymns, followed by teaching from visiting preachers. It was all more relevant, interactive and understandable than Church as I had known it.
Did this help me cope with Church?
Yes. I gradually got around to going to Church too. By then I understood what it was all about more than I had done, but I still struggled. At least, I was accompanying some Christian friends. There were also quite a few other people of my age in some of the churches we went to. Some churches were experimenting with updated versions of the Prayer Book and the Bible. There were meetings after the evening service, where we could discuss the sermon or some other topic.
When did I almost fail to cope?
The years immediately following university were difficult. I moved to another town where I didn't know anyone. After a search, I found a church with some young people, where services were in fairly modern English. It was, however, led by older men and was very conservative in outlook in many ways. They did not encourage us to question anything much. On top of all that, in hindsight, I think I was suffering from culture shock as I came from the student World to the nine-to-five. I was dealing with people who were far more set in their ways than those I had been living among for the previous three years.
After about three more years, just as I was beginning to cope, big upheavals were to come to my life, including my church life. I will write about those, and how I coped, in another blog or two. Perhaps this series will help you get more out of my book, How to Cope with the Church.

What do people say is missing from my writing? Myself!
Who wants to know about myself?
You might have thought I didn't need to write about myself, if you're interested in what I have to say rather than who I am. However, there are people who like to know all about the writers they follow. There is quite a lot on my website and on my business website as well as on my Linkedin page.
I am as I seem.
Why do I not say more about myself?
Like many of you, I expect, I think people who talk about themselves a lot are boring and probably egoists. To use a cliche, "It's not about me". I'm more interested in what people have to say about whatever topic they are writing or talking about, than in what they do at work or at home.
What do I not say about myself?
The one thing some people would like is an account of my journey in life, especially my spiritual or religious journey. They wish I had included it in How to Cope with the Church.
Now prepare to read about myself – or not!
Over the next few weeks, I will be writing about my spiritual journey. I hope this will add clarity and credibility to my blogs on faith, as well as to the book. For those of you for whom that subject holds little interest, I will still be blogging about risk, business, statistics and such, on my other site and I might publish the occasional article on this site on other subjects, to give some variety (for me as well as for you).

This morning's weather graphic from the National Weather Service office in the Twin Cities identified several upcoming snow possibilities. What surprised us, however, was the mention of specific inch totals (possibilities) for a storm that's five days away.
And, in case you missed it, this was an interesting graphic reflecting how the Twin Cities narrowly two different snowstorms in the last several days.
Here's what the NWS posted at 7:29 p.m. on Wednesday evening.
Kare 11 is calling for rain this Friday (possibly mixed with a little snow). The NWS is calling for a widespread snowfall of 2-4 inches. Talk about night and day differences in the forecasts.
Wow, when I look at the graphic for the last two snowstorms I am almost incredulous. Talk about the Metro being in the center of a 1-2 snowstorm punch sandwich. As a snow fan that saddens me.
The NWS has slightly modified the top graphic, for the right graphic to say "several more inches of snow possible" vs. the 3-8 listed. So basically they are have become even more vague.
And they should be vague...it's still almost a week away!
Agreed! A week is an eternity in the weather forecasting business.
I like when the National Weather Service (or anyone) gives us some indication that there is big storm potential. It is something to look forward to and get pumped about. With pumping potential also comes bummed potential. But I will take that risk! Bring it!
Weather Nation just said that there is the potential for 12-13 inches of snow across the Metro next Monday/Tuesday. We will see how that does or does not change over the course of this next week.
"12-13 inches"? What an odd amount to throw out.
Bill, they used a future snowfall forecast simulation. When they moved the cursor over the Metro it displayed 12-13 inches possible for the Metro. The amounts ranged from like 3.9 inches at International Falls to 12-13 inches for the Metro and 11 inches for far southern and southwestern MN.
Ah, sounds like the dreaded "snow meter" or variation thereof. Thanks.
AND END INTO FRIDAY EVENING.
Okaaaaay, so what happened to that snowy Friday? It looks like the snow forecast turned to rain in less than a span of 10 hours.
Totally agree with you Anonymous,was going to post something like the post you have above,the NWS is already doing their tap-dancing,I've lost a bunch of credibility with them this winter,a lot of mistakes and early predictions like the one this morning,moving headlines and incorrect positions of headlines,yes weather is a moving target,but isn't the NWS suppose to be the best of the best,next Monday is light years away and may not even touch us.There will always be "potential" in the weather business,but its how you present it is what sticks in the public mind.Case in point the 2-5 inches with 3 clippers this week,already going south,todays clipper dropped 0 so already their behind and their introducing rain for Friday,so how can you even trust what they say for next Monday when they can't even get the short term correct!Frustating!
Anonymous @ 4:54 pm and Sam G., you guys beat me to it. I've been at work and haven't had a chance to essentially write what the two of you have written. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe the situation. The NWS is typically pretty accurate, but for some reason they have been having a difficult time of it the past few months. I echo the caution for us snow lovers to be very very cautiously optimistic about the storm next week.
I think someone from Accuweather stole the key to the NWS office and monkeyed with the forecasts. Since when does the NWS show a graphic suggesting 3-8 inches of snow for so many days out.
LOL,Bill. Speaking of Accuweather they do have 7 inches of snow for us Sunday night into Monday,for what its worth!
Looking at the Teleconnection indices from the 3/12/12z model suites. I see us setting up into a very active period. Staring with the EPO, it is slightly negative which should put us in weak NW flow, allowing some cold air to come in from NW Canada. We have a very strong west based NAO which will allow for blocking to set over Greenland if not slightly west of there into the Hudson Bay area.
The PNA is forecast to stay negative through at least the 24th if not the end of the month. While at the same time the AO is strongly negative at this time and is forecast to stay that way. While at the same time some global models are trying to build a H5 ridge over the SE US.
This all means, at least to me, that the baroclinic zone will set up over the north central plains providing us with the active pattern mentioned above.
Looking into April, keeping in mind the Teleconnection's that I pointed out in my previous post. I see strong hints that April will be colder than normal, and maybe much colder.
There are some strong hints that we could see a stratospheric warming event for the polar regions, whether that would be a sudden stratospheric warming event or a gradual one is yet to be determined.
This is a animation of the 10mb temps over the far north, look how the warm temps are now spreading towards the Gulf of Alaska. Could they get to the polar region? I think so.
and notice how the temps are starting to respond over the pole.
So What does that mean for April? I believe it means much below temps as cold air could be released into the northern US.
Here is what the CFSv2 is showing for April, first by week, than by month.
lets start from March 18th to the 26th.
And now from the 26th of March to April 8th.
Now lets take a look at what it shows for the entire month of April. Keep in mind that IC means that the April forecast is based on Initial conditions as of that date, you can clearly see the cold bias that is setting up.
And the Twins open up on April 1st at home??? Hmmm.
For those of you that read my last post in the previous thread about how there was a weakness over Canada north of Green Bay and the Sun/Mon storm could move further west over Chicago. Well the latest run of the GFS (13/0z) has the surface low passing west of Chicago and moving over the Green Bay area. I'm sure it won't hold that exact track as the days go by, but I believe the GFS is close to the right solution. The Euro and GEM are both kind of getting there, this is looking more and more interesting, but it is still 5 days out, lets wait 2 more days and see how things are setting up then.
Thanks for all the good info Randyinchamplin,a delayed spring would totally be okay with me after the heat we experienced last March,the later spring gets here thats one less day of warm temperatures.
BTW,@Bill have you seen the new updated weather story page from the NWS?,next 2 clippers are now 1-3,not 2-5 and the Sun/Mon is now a 'possibility' as they also explain the uncertainity with the conflicting weather models,they should have just went with that yesterday then the 3-8" story.
Good stuff, Duane! Thanks for the presentation.
Nice job Duane!!! BTW what was your initial guess for seasonal snowfall? If I remember right I thought it was around 55" or so.
Good job, Duane! It's nice to get up to the minute information.
Thanks guys! I appreciate it. Randy I think my initial guess was around 50 for MSP so I may have ended up under doing it. Remember when people thought that we wouldn't even surpass last years snow totals? Anyway, the way the models continue to look, I'm going to end up being way under for the totals for this season. That late weekend system continues to look impressive. Remember the dome buster storm in 2010? Remember the December storm from this winter? There are a lot of similarities in the evolution of the low, the track of the low, and the amount of moisture coming into this system. GEM, GFS, Euro, and FIM all have this system on somewhat similar tracks. I'm not really getting too excited about it because we still have several days of model runs left and we've been led astray before by these pesky models but seeing a consistent signal of a strong system, and the history of these hybrid clippers putting down a lot of snow has me optimistic. To echo what some others have said, it's still way too early, in my opinion, to be throwing snow total potential this early in the game. If all the 12z models come in like the GFS has, then the NWS may be changing their tone for those numbers. Significant accumulations possible should be more of the wording. Again it's early, but it is certainly worth watching!
Dumb question, how will it snow on friday with temps in mid-upper 30's? I am guessing it wont be able to stick?
What a beautiful snow set-up here in the month of March for much of the Upper Midwest.
Take a look at the temperature anomalies for the northern Hemisphere. Significant warming at the North Pole and Arctic Ocean have suppressed the bitter cold Arctic air much further south than usual. In turn, this cold has seeped into much of southern Canada & the northern U.S. and is just sitting there because it has no place to go. Meanwhile, the sun is still doing what it is suppose to do this time of the year and is warming the the southern U.S. and points south.
All of this has set-up an unusually strong Jet Stream and temperature contrast across North America. Because of this, we will see an amazingly active weather pattern for the next couple of weeks that features warm Gulf moisture overriding cold Arctic air over the northern U.S. Perfect recipe for Winter Storms.
Did something change with these next 2 clippers?.....did they get more organized/stronger or a more favorable track,because the NWS in their evening discussion has now 1-2 for tommorrow morning and 2-5 inches for Friday,so in total were suppose to get 3-7 inches the next two days?
Look again Big Daddy,NWS has updated their weather story graphic,if you live within the metro core NWS says expect 4-9 between the 2 clipper systems.
Also their calling for heavy snow with blizzard conditions and over 6 inches for late Sunday/Monday.
What a snow blitz shaping up if these all pan out!
Looks like the GFS is the winner with the clippers, especially the second one.
For amateur and pro forecasters alike, we may have a new superior winter weather model. When Environmental Canada announced the upgrade to the Gem model a few weeks ago, they said they had been running a parallel model with the new upgrade as opposed to the old gem. The conclusion was startling. During the winter season they said that the improvement of the parallel run was so drastic, that such improvements are normally seen once a decade. So they implemented the upgrade.
Remember the last system that dumped heavy snows on SE MN? The Gem had it early and often, the rest of the global models including the King Euro were all over the place.
Now fast forward to this weekends system. The 13/0z run of the Gem had the surface track of the low moving over central MN, the GFS and the Euro had it further south. When the 13/12z runs came in the GFS still had it south, but the Euro moved towards the GEM. At 13/18z the GFS moved towards the Gem solution as well.
The track of this system will wobble from day to day until we get to say Saturday morning, it will be interesting to see how it develops. But those forecasters that ignore the Gem may be making a big mistake.
at 96 hrs there is not much change.
but here is the total snowfall through 120 hrs and it's not done yet. Keep in mind I did not load these maps into a photo sharing site, they may change as you click onto the links.
Not sure where the 4-9" for the next two clippers from the NWS is coming from, and maybe I am looking in a different spot. The latest I saw was 3-6" north of I94, which makes a lot more sense. I actually expect very little from tomorrow's clipper, and warm temperatures will melt any new snow during the afternoon.
Friday looks like mostly rain in the metro, with a little snow possible as temperatures drop during the afternoon. As of snow I think MSP would be lucky to see more than 2" total from both clippers. Monday is still the storm to watch and could be a lot of fun. Cold air will definitely not be a problem with this system.
Randy, not sure where that 4-9 is coming from either, the best that I can see is 2-4" over the core metro with both clippers, I think the person that posted that looked at the weather story and misinterpreted it.
Randy Hill and randyinchamplin. I just looked at the NWS graphic and it shows 1-3 inches for tomorrow morning and 3-6 inches for tomorrow night/Friday.
Anonymous where do live? which city? I will try and pull up the NWS graph for snowfall amounts for that city or zip code. Zip code will be best.
randyinchamplin, my zip code is 55337 (Burnsville).
Ok I see that, I feel that the higher end snow fall totals will be bust. I would go with the lower amounts based on the written forecast, there has some disco's about how the graphical forecast may not match the written forecast, it does seem to be a problem with NOAA, I don't know if it will get fixed any time soon, if your on facebook, which I am not,you may want to have them explain the differences between the written forecast and graphical.
Thanks, randyinchamplin. I put more faith in you, Novak, Randy Hill and Duane than I do in the NWS anymore!
Thank you for the vote of confidence, but please, and I'm serious about this, don't ever discount the NWS, even though we have a lot of toys that we relay on, the NWS has two to three times more. They are the best in world bar none. I will say this however, take the local media forecast 2-3 days out with a grain of salt, as I listen to a radio or watch a weather forecast I can almost always tell you what model they are buying into, and most often times it's the US models. I generally put more trust 2-3 days out in the consensus foreign models like the Euro,GEM,UKMET, and the shorter term 48hr RGEM.
Man,I sense that the NWS isnt getting much love lately!
Well they haven't been too good lately... and have seemed uncharacteristically aggressive.
@Randyinchamplin if I follow what is written in their discussion,the totals are 1-2 and 2-5,thats 3-7 inches between the 2 clippers according to the NWS,if I follow the graphical weather story then we fall into the 1-3 and 3-6 band,which is 4-9 inches....I'm just doing the simple math with the numbers they are providing,I'm not making these up nor do I think I misinterperted it.
Just keep in mind...most of us do this for a hobby but the NWS does this for a job. They have the schooling, and they have the full understanding of the dynamics at play and whether or not models are underdoing or overdoing something. Yeah, we'll get it right from time to time but don't lose any faith in the boys and girls at Chanhassen and La Crosse. We have the luxury of only really having to deal with some of the occasional haters in here if we are incorrect. They don't have that same luxury. Certainly appreciate the compliments though but seriously I'm very "green" when it comes to forecasting so I just throw out a best guess. So...best guesses will be coming at you just like they have in the past. 00z NAM data is in, and has trended more towards the other models with the first two clippers. First one still looks light, second one still looks a bit stronger than the first. The larger storm is still too far out for the NAM to pick up, but the GFS will be coming in soon, with the GEM and Euro to follow close behind. A peek at the NAM snow totals for the first two clippers combined.
WCCO's Shaffer used the word "model" a million times in his forecast. Even said, "if the models pull this south, than yetta yetta yetta." Can he at least say, "if the storm goes south..." It's like models have become a sort of virtual reality for him. TV mets should be prohibited from uttering the word "models."
I just added a picture of what the NWS posted this evening on its Facebook page (third picture). Looking at the depiction conservatively, it seems they are calling for at least 4 inches with the first two snow events.
Been snowing for about an hour(4am),here in Eden Prairie....about 1/2 inch so far....heavy band over east metro towards WI border/Hudson area.
One-half inch in Rosemount. The snow has ended.
Just about an inch here in Golden Valley.........I'm sure there will be reports from Anoka county and east metro of 2-4 inches,I was watching on radar about 5am and the heaviest band set-up over those areas,but all in all a nuisance snowfall which I think the NWS forecasted properly when they said 1-3 inches(some got 1 and others 2-3).Let's see how they do with tommorrows clipper,they still have 3-6 in their weather story and said 2-4 in their cwa discussion this morning,we'll see!
Almost an inch in St. Paul.
Just a dusting here in Burnsville, maybe a half an inch at most.
I saw that the NWS posted 4.5 inches in Gillman (Benton County). I have a strong feeling that tonight's clipper and the storm on Monday are also going to favor central MN (St. Cloud area) and north. I live in the TC metro so I hope I am wrong, but from what I am reading the indications are that if you really want snow, then "Go North"!
Anonymous @ 9:26 a.m., unfortunately, I am starting to share those same feelings. It seems that over the past couple of days all of the systems have shifted north and thus have taken (or appear they will take) the heaviest snow north of the TC Metro. This morning's clipper dropped much more snow in central MN than in the TC Metro. I see that tonight's clipper is now supposed to drop 4-6+ from central MN to Duluth. Yesterday the NWS had 3-6 inches posted for the TC Metro. Novak posted an hour ago on FB that the TC Metro is going to be more in line for 1-2 inches from tonight's clipper. Finally, the NWS graphic this morning shows the Monday storm going north of the TC Metro instead of across far southern MN/northern Iowa.
The national weather service should really get its forecast discussion and graphics in synch with each other. The discussion this morning talks about snow in the Metro for Sunday night/Monday, while this morning's graphics show the storm traveling from southwest MN northeast across approximately Anoka County, which would mean rain and/or mix for the TC. Last night's graphic showed the storm traveling almost due west to east along extreme southern MN. I'm no expert, so perhaps I am missing something?
Mondays snowstorm is going north of the metro?and taking the heavy snow with it. For a couple of days now the track was just south of us and even tracking along the Iowa border,now the NWS has it going just north of the metro,which means metro gets very little snow,all this hype about blah blah snow and delayed spring and the cold is going to stick around and create all kinds of winter storms for the northern states,when it comes right down to it the weather in the metro is pretty tame.Just look at this past weekends snowy doughnut for the metro,then Tuesday zero inches from a clipper,then today only. One inch,tommorrow was suppose to be snowy in the metro but mixed/rain looks to be taking over and then Monday with the system now going north,so you see all this talk about winter not giving up its grip on us,but in reality the weather has been lame,yes the temps are running below normal but nothing we Minnesotan's can't handle!
These last two anonymous posts are pretty similar. I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. They must not have looked at the temperature profile for Sunday night and Monday. It will be cold enough for all snow regardless of the track of the Low, so there cranky pants.
Glad to hear the site has been so useful for you, MNPLOWCO! If I figure out a way to make the site more sophisticated, I'll put out the donation tray. In the meantime, enjoy!
I guess Randyinchamplin is corect,follow the GEM he says and now the other models are following bringing Mondays storm further north,tracking north of the metro,as others here have a alluded to that's not a favorable track for the heaviest snows to fall on the metro.Good job Randyinchamplin,let's just hope it doesn't go any further north and we got pretty much nothing.
TWC went from 70% snow on Monday to 50% "snow showers". Must be picking up on that trend north as well.
Here we reccived (and extraordinarily surpried to) four inches of snow! Perhaps we ended up in a bubble of heavy snow here or somthing, but I know this for a fact.
Where are you located, bemaki?
Wow, congrats! Here in Lakeville we picked up about half an inch.
Blaine got 2.5 inches, according to the weather service.
Batten down the hatches northern Minnesota! I guess we can't be too surprised. It's mid-March. With few exceptions, snowstorms this time of year typically favor primarily northern Minnesota. I would be really upset with the northern trend of the storm if this was November-February. I love winter and snow as much as anyone on this site, but let's face it, it's time to set our sights on Spring with warm weather, green grass and baseball! We will all look forward to next winter and hope it is a cold and very snowy one.
In the meantime, my thinking for snow on Friday. It looks like it will come in two waves (probably perfect timing for morning and evening rush hour). I would say 2-4 inches of snow are possible, with possible higher amounts especially in far NW MN and into western WI. A winter weather advisory will likely be needed in the area highlighted in the image. Again, this is just my initial, uneducated guess. Not exactly sure if they would consider a more widespread advisory for the mixing potential south of this band, but it wouldn't really surprise me if they did.
It will be interesting to see if that very narrow band of 6+ ends up verifying.
No surprise here. Time will tell, of course. Thanks for the update, Duane.
The Sunday/Monday system is still very challenging for the forecasters, the 14/12z runs of the Euro and GFS have followed what the GEM had shown with the low tracking to the north of us. The 14/12z of the gem is completely different, it reverts back to what the models where showing a couple days ago. It brings a 1000mb low into central SD that is fairly compact, while at the same time it develops a wide 1000mb low over northern TX northward into western KS and eastern CO Sunday evening. After which the SD surface low gets absorbed into the southern stream, bringing a negative tilted inverted surface trough through our area with nice snows.
AS Duane eluded to with one his earlier posts, half the fun of watching these systems is how the models depict it and which one may be right. Lets see if tonight's run of the models favor the Gem or the GFS/Euro. BTW if the Eruo/GFS is right, it's shouting dry slot over MSP.
Paul Huttner over at MPR has a real good right up on the improvements of the GEM in his latest blog, as he states it will take a couple a couple months to sort things out.
I have developed a love/hate relationship with Daylight Savings Time, I love the extra hour of daylight in the evening, but it means the models come in 1 hour later.
Hope to make it a bit more professional looking in the future.
AWESOME!!! I hope you guys can do this during severe weather season as well, so much more info than what TV can show!! If you do I hope you fully explain what a slight and moderate means. I get sick and tired of our local mets telling us that the SPC has put into a moderate risk of severe weather without explaining what it means.

Pound in flux as Boris Johnson calls for general election
By Hazel Davis
October 25, 2019, 11:45 AM GMT
UK Prime Minister says broken Parliament is responsible for Brexit deadlock
The pound fell from its recent multi-month highs as the EU considers another Brexit extension and the UK Prime Minister (PM) Boris Johnson challenged MPs to agree to a general election on December 12.
Following the news, analysts predicted more volatility around a general election and sell-offs under a Corbyn win.
The PM said that a "broken parliament" was responsible for the Brexit deadlock, while chancellor Sajid David called it "dysfunctional".
If an election is agreed, Johnson says he will bring the withdrawal agreement bill back to the Commons. Labour has said that it is "definitely up for" a general election if there's an explicit commitment to rule out a no-deal Brexit.
On Thursday October 24 the other opposition parties suggested they would reject moves for a general election. Welsh Plaid Cymru said it would vote against, Lib Dems said they would "seriously consider" voting for an election if an extension is secured and no-deal is off the table.
However, Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted:
The Government has dropped its plans for a Budget on November 6.

Q: How does one get the Bernoulli numbers via the generating function? Here is the definition:

Bernoulli numbers arise in Taylor series in the expansion $$\frac{x}{e^x-1}=\sum_{k=0}^\infty B_k \frac{x^k}{k!}$$

I've tried to naively expand $\frac{x}{e^x-1}$ around $x_0=0$ and didn't quite understand what should be done with all the $(e^x-1)^{k+1}$ in the denominators of $f^{(k)}(0)$?
How does one get to $$1 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x^2}{12} - \frac{x^4}{720} + \ ...$$ directly from the definition (without rearranging the whole thing into the recursive formula)?
Thanks a lot!

A: Expand $e^{x}$ around $x=0$ and then reexpand
\begin{align}\frac{1}{1+\frac{x}{2!}+\frac{x^2}{3!}+\ldots}=1-\left(\frac{x}{2!}+\frac{x^2}{3!}+\frac{x^3}{4!}\ldots\right)+\left(\frac{x}{2!}+\frac{x^2}{3!}+\ldots\right)^2-\left(\frac{x}{2!}+\ldots\right)^3+\ldots=\\
=1-\left(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x^2}{6}+\frac{x^3}{24}+\ldots\right)+\frac{x^2}{4}\left(1+\frac{x}{3}+\ldots\right)^2-\frac{x^3}{8}\left(1+\ldots\right)^3+\ldots=\\
=1-\left(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x^2}{6}+\frac{x^3}{24}\right)+\frac{x^2}{4}\left(1+\frac{2x}{3}\right)-\frac{x^3}{8}+O\left(x^4\right)=\\
=1-\frac{x}{2}+\left(-\frac{1}{6}+\frac14\right)x^2+\left(-\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{8}\right)x^3+O\left(x^4\right)=\\
=1-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x^2}{12}+O\left(x^4\right).\end{align}

A: I know that the question asks for a method not using recursion, but this is just so much easier and cleaner than computing the series for $\dfrac{x}{e^x-1}$.
Given
$$
\frac{x}{e^x-1}=\sum_{k=0}^\infty B_k\frac{x^k}{k!}\tag{1}
$$
we can rewrite $(1)$ as
$$
\begin{align}
1
&=\sum_{j=0}^\infty\frac{x^j}{(j+1)!}\sum_{k=0}^\infty B_k\frac{x^k}{k!}\\
&=\sum_{k=0}^\infty x^k\sum_{j=0}^k\frac{B_{k-j}}{(k-j)!\,(j+1)!}\\
&=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{x^k}{(k+1)!}\sum_{j=0}^k\binom{k+1}{j+1}B_{k-j}\tag{2}
\end{align}
$$
which yields $B_0=1$ and the recurrence
$$
B_k=-\frac1{k+1}\sum_{j=1}^k\binom{k+1}{j+1}B_{k-j}\tag{3}
$$
for $k\ge1$.

Hi! Sign in to let us know how $995 Wedding Photography & DVD was?
Shania P. Mar 22 .
Johnny and his assistant photographed our wedding, and I can't say enough great things about them. They are professional, funky and so much fun. We have received countless compliments on the quality of her photos. They shoot with fresh, quirky and classy style. Beyond that, he was a huge help to us and knew exactly how to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. I'd recommend Joy May Photography to anyone looking for a fun, hip, professional photographer.
Olga T. Mar 14 .
The photos turned out wonderful, and I'm very happy with the results. My friends and family loved the photos as well. John captured the sweet and tender moments between us, as well as the laughter and love. I highly recommend him. You can also get packages with the magazine style albums that cost ~$1000 with other photographers, for a lot less.
We were able to get the $1995 package where we get to keep the digital copies of the photos, 2 albums, and all day photography for less than many of the other local photographers.
Wenona l. Mar 11 .
Joy May Photography is a team of digital artists and incredible photographers. Their work is eye-catching, unique and gorgeous - I guarantee the price will make you happy-only $995! We hired them for our wedding and we are very happy with the work!
If you're in the market for something special, let Joy , John and Sarah do your wedding! You'll end up with unique images that capture you in ways you thought weren't possible, and you and your friends will look very cool and fine to boot.

Our engagement photos are amazing! Johnny from Joy May worked with us to pick a photo package within our budget; thought of cool shots during the photo session; and met with us to scout the reception site to prepare for the wedding day. You can check off "photographer" on your wedding to-do list -- trust Johnny with all your Kodak moments. We love his film!
trust Johnny with all your Kodak moments. We love his film!
Maria S. Feb 22 .
When we first met Johnny, he was immediately receptive to all of our ideas. My husband and I are not the typical couple, and we didn't want the typical wedding photos that we could get from any photographer. What we did want something classic and vintage, and at the same time very fresh and modern - the overall theme of our wedding. A mix of vintage and modern, of fresh and classic... it seemed almost impossible, even to us.
But the complex and specific idea we had for the photos was no issue for Johnny. He far surpassed our highest expectations of how beautiful everything turned out. The photos came back a thousand times more amazing than we ever would have dreamed, and to top it off, her prices are INCREDIBLY reasonable-only $995.
More than anything, Johnny is incredibly intuitive and has the ability to pick up on the personalities of the individuals he is shooting and translate them onto film. He is extremely professional and a bundle of fun, and really, really, REALLY knows how to create beautiful photographs. I fully intend on using him for all of my professional photographic needs in the future.Baby photos coming soon! I recommend him whole-heartedly. Johnny is absolutely fabulous!
Lin G. Feb 18 .
We recently had our engagement pictures taken by Jonny from Joy May Wedding photography... We love our engagement photos!
We were extremely impressed with how professional johnny was during the engagement session. We met at Fort Point by Golden Gate Bridge and ended up at the Embarcadero. We had so much fun doing the shoot in SF. Jonny made us feel really comfortable along the way.
The images are awesome! They really captured us as we really are. Thank you! We highly recommed them!
gianna r. Feb 14 .
Joy May we cannot thank you enough for your wonderful work. You brought a splendid combination of professionalism, craftsmanship, creativity, experience, and a great rapport with everyone.
You managed the time constraints and personalities involved with grace. Your decision-making was shrewd. Your suggestion on the location of the portrait studio was brilliant--a big hit thanks to you). The timing of our photos with each table was perfect. You listened to, and worked with us, extremely well. And of course, everyone has simply raved about the quality of your photographs. We cannot recommend you enough. Splendido!!!
cassy l. Feb 10 .
Finding a good photographer for your wedding can be daunting. We went to bridal shows and searched online for months. The only way to go is by referral. That's how we met Johnny from Joy May. You really get your money's worth with Joy May. We were very nervous for our engagement session. By the end of the day, we wanted to make Johnny a lifelong friend. He is that awesome.
When our wedding day came around, Johnny and Sarah his assistant, were so professional and such a pleasure to be around. We received sooooo many compliments on our engagement pictures which was displayed on a large poster board outside the reception.
cynthia g. Feb 10 .
Jonny the photographer was SUPER nice and very passionate at what he does. My husband is all about the details and they were able to capture EVERYTHING from beginning to end on our wedding day. We love the enhanced images! Full of COLOR and drama!

We love the enhanced images!

SOLVED Why are my external drives and a few folders appearing twice in Windows Explorer file list?
At first I thought it was only my USB attached external drives that were appearing twice in my Win Explorer list. Now I see my OneDrive folder is also appearing twice. This is very confusing. I'm assuming this is not normal. How do I get all my drives and folders to appear only once in the master list (with a few exceptions like Quick Access, etc?
I've used this reghack from this article to resolve the issue on a couple of my computers.
I'll check this out too.

Thunderclap Newman - Hollywood Dream 1969
All these years, and all these accolades later, it still seems incredible that Hollywood Dream meant nothing at the time of its release; that America let it drift no higher than Number 161; that the U.K. did not even give it a hearing. Less than a year before, after all, "Something in the Air" was topping charts and readers' polls alike, and Thunderclap Newman were as close as Christmas to becoming the new Beatles. Instead, they weren't even the new Badfinger, and this exquisite LP withered on the vine. Reissued in 1991, Hollywood Dream had been utterly transformed by the admiration of so many subsequent listeners, to stand alongside any lost classic you could mention, among the finest albums of its psychedelic generation. "Something in the Air," of course, has never lost its hold on our hearts, but there was so much more to Thunderclap Newman and, across the 12-track original album, and half-a-dozen bonus tracks, the trio's genius is inescapable. For those "in the know," who had treasured their scratchy old Atlantic label vinyl, the real meat lay in the latter, as all three of Thunderclap Newman's original 45's joined their album brethren, together with their non-LP B-sides. "Something in the Air," fussed up for the LP, reverts to its original emphatic punch; "Accidents" is pruned from a shade under ten minutes to a little over three; and the piping "The Reason" (an odd choice for a single in the first place) sounds like a role model for every record Supertramp ever made. The real gem, however, is "Wilhemina," which sounds like a daft piece of rhyming doggerel set to a nursery tune, but also packs one of the most dramatic psych guitar solos this side of your favorite Who record. Producer Pete Townshend must have been astonished. As will you be, too, if all you've ever heard is the hit. So many bands have been hauled out of obscurity to be tagged the greatest secret you've never been told. Thunderclap Newman are one of the few who actually deserve that epithet. AMG.

"I wrote this song based on a personal experience that I went through back in high school. I was really in my feelings and made this song in about 10 minutes. The song was initially really short, but the bridge came along later, and I'm really proud of how it turned out. I told you I'm the one who stood there by your side, that's why I beg. I had the intention to create an arrangement worthy of a James Bond theme song.So my biggest inspiration for this track was Adele's 'Skyfall' and Sam Smith's 'Writing's on the Wall'. I think this theme matches my image and vocal range the most. I worked with Deby Sucha again for the music video and this time, I surrendered everything to her because I trusted her work on my previous video. She came up with the brilliant idea of giving the music video the karaoke treatment and it was amazing. Although it's not my usual aesthetic, it was great to step out of my comfort zone and try something new." ~Mezzaluna, Sony Music's OFFMUTE Artist
Sony Music's OFFMUTE artist, Mezzaluna, is back with her second single, "I Beg."
Following the success of her debut single, "In Situ," the 20-year-old Indonesian singer-songwriter offers us another peek into her personal life with her signature storytelling style.
The ballad dives quickly into Mezzaluna's sultry vocal delivery of disappointment and hopelessness. The dark piano melody builds through the chorus as she turns to desperation for answers, and as the second verse drops, a sense of strength rings true.
The strings come in as the piano arpeggios intensify and Mezzaluna longs for the truth she knows deserves. The bridge follows in a freefall of acceptance of the unknown and the uncontrolled as she transforms the darkness into hope.
"I Beg" marks Mezzaluna's second collaboration with Indonesian industry veterans, producer Gio Wibowo and creative director Deby Sucha. Wibowo, who had previously worked with her on 'In Situ', gathered a team to work on 'I Beg' this time round. The accompanying music video was left in Sucha's capable hands, having previously directed Mezzaluna's first music video.
"I Beg" is available on all digital streaming platforms from 25th February 2022 via OFFMUTE.

An animal's skin is his or her largest organ. Besides being a physical barrier that protects the internal organs of the body, the skin helps to regulate body temperature, makes vitamin D, provides the first line of defense for the immune system, and allows your pet to experience the outside world of touch and sensation, known as 'tactility'. Simply put, skin is amazing!
Indeed, the skin plays many important roles in the health and well-being of your pet, which is why skin conditions should be taken seriously. Pet skin problems are one of the most common reasons pets visit the veterinarian and, while many are easier to treat and manage, others can be more difficult to diagnose and require treatment plans that are more involved.


Forums › Help and How To › How to overwrite default color SASS variables.
This topic contains 6 replies, has 6 voices, and was last updated by atalzabidi 8 hours, 16 minutes ago.
How does one simply overwrite the default color variables? Say I want to change the $blue / $primary viable throughout all of the styling. Any insights or even efficient hacks would be helpful.
It appears you can create a sass partial (file that starts with an underscore) but I am not sure if this simply creates a compiled CSS file that overrides the full bootstrap.css file variables, which works but is not the most efficient.
So you must download and import the Sass folder files and folder structure to the Styles folder. I have a _underscore on all the files.
This will override (not replace) the Bootstrap Studio bootstrap.css file just like any other css file you include in styles. (It is a complete compiled custom bootstrap.css file).One could actually replace the main bootstrap.css file when project is completed or during testing after exporting. Everytime the Bootstrap version is updated you would probably want to update the sass folder to the new Bootstrap version also.
I only offer this up as a "trial" for others to test. Could not recommend it for production until further testing.
One thing I did notice is the downloaded css version of bootstrap (same version as Bootstrap Studio is using) is missing some -ms prefixes so its possible BS is running autoprefixer or some sort of postcss process on their file. Would appreciate any feedback …..
It's kinda like finding a Gold Willy Wonka Ticket !
BS is running autoprefixer or some sort of postcss process on their file. Would appreciate any feedback …..
can we have a word from the dev on this, does this method of importing all the BS SASS framework into BS will interfere with look&feel/options/Animation tools? Do you validate this method, or does it have to be considered as a temporary solution or not valid?
Maybe you are planning to had tools panel to edit the bootstrap variable in the future?
Can we import bootstrap in our SASS files without the need to download bootstrap sass folder and include them in the bootstrap studio?
We need to override the _variables bootstrap file.
