Crossover in dynamics of polymeric liquids: back to TII?
A. Kisliuk, R. T. Mathers, A. P. Sokolov
Light scattering spectra of two polymers, polyisobutylene (PIB) and polystyrene (PS), were analyzed in the broad frequency range at temperatures above the glass transition (Tg). At high temperatures, the spectra followed the qualitative scenario suggested by mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the glass transition. The crossover temperature (Tc) was defined to be approximately 1.35 Tg in PIB and approximately 1.15 Tg in PS. At lower temperatures (T < Tc), the light scattering spectra deviated strongly from the idealized MCT scenario. Different signs of the dynamic transition around Tc are discussed. The difference between the suggested interpretation and an old idea of the liquid-liquid transition in polymeric liquids is stressed: we describe the transition as purely dynamic in nature.

Happy Tuesday!! I am back to share another project on the Peachy Keen blog today. I am so lucky to get to join the very talented Peachy Keen Designers for their sketch challenge this week over on the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge blog. I just love sketches!! I have two little princesses at home that are Oohing and Ahhing over this fairy princess card and wand. I used the Princess Face Assortment for both the fairy princess on the card as well as the face of the flower on the wand. Aren't these colors so fresh and fun?? All cuts are from my Cricut with Once Upon A Princess cartridge.
The fairy princess is cut at 3 1/2 inches. I cut out her wings three times....once in white and twice in vellum paper. I then added some glitter glue to the top layer of vellum as well as glitter to the flower centers. That super cute sticker is from SRM Stickers.
The wand is from SRM Stickers and I filled it with left over Easter grass from my kids' Easter baskets to match the green wand the princess is holding on the card. Great way to recycle, huh?? These tubes are so fun to create with. I have filled them with candy and added a rainbow at the top. You can see the candy filled rainbow wand in other posts here on my blog.
Leave a comment on the Peachy Keen Stamps blog under all of my posts this week as well as here on my blog under each of the Peachy Keen posts for the week. At the end of the week, I will randomly draw a winner for these super cute stamps. That is a total of 10 entries if you leave a comment under each post on both blogs each day. You have until the end of the day on July 15th to get your comments in. I will draw a winner on Saturday July 16th. Good Luck!!

The present French subjunctive refers to actions in the present or future.
Use the subjunctive when the sentence contains a dependent and a main clause.
The dependent and main clauses are connected by the word QUE.
One of the clauses will demonstrate a WEIRDO condition.
If what follows QUE is subjective in nature you must use the subjunctive.
Watch my video lesson on the French subjunctive below.
Do some exercises with me at the end of the video lesson (they're written at the bottom of post).
The subjunctive is rumored as the most difficult thing in French, but it's not true.
Watch the video lesson and follow along reading the text below the video.
I will not teach every exception in this lesson. Let's keep it simple for now.
When and why do we use the subjunctive in French?
How do you form the subjunctive?
Examples using the subjunctive in meaningful context.
Practice the French subjunctive with Quizlet study sets (see below).
You may be interested in the following lesson: French Subjunctive or Indicative?
Je voudrais que tu finisses tes devoirs.
Je voudrais means I would like, so it demonstrates wanting.
The Je voudrais and the tu finisses tes devoirs are connected by QUE.
Just because I want THAT you finish your homework doesn't mean you're actually going to do it.
Je suis triste qu'elle ne vienne pas.
Je suis triste means I am sad, so it demonstrates an emotion.
The Je suis triste and the elle ne vienne pas are connected by QUE.
I am sad THAT she's not coming.
So why use the subjunctive here? There's not really a doubt associated with she's not coming, but anytime you're dealing with emotion you do have to use the subjunctive.
Il est important que nous répondions à toutes les questions.
Il est important means It is important, so that's an impersonal expression.
The Il est important and the nous répondions à toutes les questions are connected by QUE.
It is important THAT we respond to all of the questions, but just because it's important doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen. Right?
Je suggère que vous arriviez un peu en avance.
Je suggère means I suggest, so that's a recommendation.
Je suggère and the vous arriviez un peu en avance are joined by QUE.
Just because I suggest THAT you arrive a little early doesn't mean it's going to happen.
Il faut que je mette la table.
Il faut means It is necessary, so that's a demand.
You can easily use Il faut followed by an infinitive and avoid the subjunctive altogether, but many times you'll want to say Il faut que followed by another clause that begins with a subject.
In this example the Il faut and the je mette la table are joined by QUE.
Just because It is necessary THAT I set the table doesn't mean I'll do it.
Je ne crois pas means I don't believe, so that demonstrates an Opinion.
The Je ne crois pas and the ce soit une bonne idée are connected by QUE.
Just because I don't believe THAT it is a good idea doesn't necessarily mean that it's not.
Before doing some exercises together I will show you how to form the subjunctive. There are just a few irregular verbs to learn. As you may have guessed, the irregular verbs are the ones we use all the time.
The stem is what you'll add the subjunctive endings to.
It is necessary THAT we write a letter. Il faut que nous écrivions une lettre.
That we write a letter This part of the sentence needs the subjunctive. Why? Remember, just because it's necessary doesn't mean we're going to do it.
Take the -ENT off of the 3rd person plural form of the verb.
Now add the subjunctive endings.
Verbs that are stem changing in the present indicative are the same in the subjunctive.
Keep the same stem in the je, tu, il / elle / on, and ils / elles forms.
Only the nous and vous forms that will be different, and the same is true in the regular present tense.
We will look at only 4 stem changing verbs, but know that the same rule applies to other verbs in the same category.
Form the stem the regular way: ils boivent, take off the -ent, and it becomes boiv- Only nous and vous will have a different stem.
Practice what you've learned in this French subjunctive lesson on Quizlet, then we can do some exercises together.
Watch the video tutorial above and I'll walk you through the following exercises, offering explanations when things get tricky.
See the written question here, and I'll tell you the answer in the video.
In the first exercise put all verbs in the present subjunctive.
In the second exercise you will need to decide between the subjunctive and the indicative.
1 Je regrette que tu ne ____ pas venir avec nous à la campagne ce week-end.
2 Il est sûr que tu ____ le français plus vite en pratiquant tous les jours.
3 Il faut que vous ____ plus d'exercice physique.
4 Nous sommes heureux que vous _____ à notre mariage.
5 Il n'est pas certain que ce projet _____ une excellente opportunité pour nous.
6 Je veux que mon fils _____ plus soin de ses affaires.
7 Le professeur exige que son élève ____ à l'examen.
8 Il ne me semble pas que tu ____ ta leçon par coeur. Tu dois encore réviser.
9 Elle espère que tu _____ plus performant si tu acceptes de suivre cette formation.
10 Je ne pense pas qu'il ____ tort.
Yes, that was really comprehensive. I remember studying this in grade 13 and never really fully understanding it – just used it by memorizing and using it the same way a child would – just by hearing it, but not really knowing why the verb is different. You have this really well organized and easy to understand. I did find the scrolling up and down to pause the video a bit cumbersome, but I really like being able to read along with the lesson as I am a visual learner.
Great! We are happy to help! A Bientôt!
The easiest way is to split the screen so you have jennifer talking on one side and the lesson on the other. Joe.
Merci beaucoup pour cette exercise..ll été vraiment super..
De rien Amit! Vous pouvez aussi regarder nos autres vidéos sur YouTube! A bientôt!
Just came across your lesson. I enjoyed it a lot and found your system very useful.
This is definitely a comprehensive teaching…loved every bit…thanks a ton…merci beaucoup madame..
Love the structured approach !!! Will be listening to my podcast Les Toques Françe Blue and trying to identify subjunctives . Thank you so much.
Merci beaucoup pour le lecon!
I really enjoy this lesson.I have a better understanding of subjunctive.thanks to Ms Jennifer Crespin.
Amazing teacher. I wish you were there at school as well.
Brilliant teaching. I have enjoyed your leçon on the subjunctive so much I have found that the whole morning has passed in a flash. You have made it very clear. Bravo!
Thank you for this very helpful explanation of the subjunctive! I didn't like the way the textbook I use taught this tense, so I went looking online for a better way. I stumbled on your video/blog and will be using in my class today. I'll be returning to your site!
Thanks for this lesson but I don't understand why the answers are written beside the exercise questions?


People assume valet parking companies are well protected by insurance. The reality is different.
Sure, they could have a million dollars worth of coverage. But typically the deductibles are quite high. Their deductible could be $10,000, maybe $25,000. What this means is every claim is very costly. So they are strongly inclined to dodge, stall and avoid every damage claim attempt.
Valet parking companies generally have a lot of experience with handling customers who accuse them of inflicting damage on cars. So they have a large amount of practice in dodging claims. Most people are outmatched against an opponent like this.
Trusting that a valet parking company will be forthcoming about vehicle damage they caused is naive. In most cases, this isn't going to happen.
Some believe that if they are at a top property, like a 5 star type of property, they have nothing to worry about, and if an incident were to happen they would be well provided for. Well, the valet service is probably run by a third party vendor, and the workers are merely branded to appear to be employees of the venue.
Whether you are at a top property or not, expect it to be a struggle to get fairly compensated.
It is vital that you find any new damage before you ever pull away.
After you drive away, your chances of getting compensated for valet inflicted damage plummets to probably about 5%. It doesn't matter if it was dark and raining and you couldn't see the brand new dent. They will tell you that a fair determination of where the damage actually happened cannot be made, and your claim will be denied.
You must conduct a full vehicle damage assessment on the car before you pull away. This means carefully studying every square inch of the outside of your car — even the roof.
Don't feel rushed. You've got to VERIFY that they provided flawless service.
On-demand valet parking companies appear to be motivated to protect their reputations. I have gotten the impression they handle routine damage claims in a more consumer-friendly way. But you should still verify that no damage occurred BEFORE you part ways with an on-demand valet.
This article explains more about how to intelligently use valet parking services.
And here is some information about how much to tip a valet.

Are You a Settler?
Everything in U.S. history is about the land. Who oversaw and cultivated it, fished its waters, maintained its wildlife; who invaded and stole it; how it became a commodity ("real estate") broken into pieces, to be bought and sold on the market.
—Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States
The politics of solidarity on display during the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline have raised the issue of Indigenous liberation more and more sharply to people on the left. Activists have started to recognize that their struggles against ecological destruction, imperialism, and colonization are linked to the fight for Native self-determination that has gone on now for decades, even centuries. The recent struggles Standing Rock and Keystone XL stand in the tradition of organizations like Black Hills Alliance in the 1980s that brought together Natives and non-natives in the Black Hills in South Dakota to try to stop uranium mining.
A whole new generation of activists has learned the long history of the United States continually breaking treaties with the Indigenous Nations—stomping upon their self-determination any time the government and corporations demand access to Native lands to extract energy and raw materials. The climate justice movement is coming to an understanding that treaties must be upheld and extended, as demanded by Indigenous Nations, based on their traditional territories. We have an urgent need to bring the fight against Native oppression into all the economic and social struggles of today. And that means grasping, as clearly and firmly as possible, that the struggle for Native liberation means keeping the question of land rights central.
In this essay I will demonstrate how settler-colonialism was and is vital to the development and maintenance of capitalism by using historical examples. Understanding the history and ongoing process of Settler-colonialism adds to our understanding of capitalism, while ignoring it perpetuates the erasure from history of Native peoples and their resistance to that process. I will do my best to use actual Indigenous Nation names such as the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota (Oceti Sakowin) or Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) or the Dine (Navajo) but will also use the words "Indigenous," "Native," "Native American," "American Indian," and "Indian" when appropriate, such as in quotations. I will often lump the United States and Canada together because their experience with Indigenous people are very similar.
Among Indigenous people, the common name for the continent of North America—and the one I will use accordingly—is Turtle Island.
Hundreds of different social organizations existed on Turtle Island prior to the arrival of capitalist markets, but one common feature was that most Indigenous Nations treated the land as something held in common. The idea of nonhuman life being someone's "private property" was almost literally unthinkable. Many Indigenous theorists now consider "modes of relationship" a more useful concept than "modes of production" when talking about what Winona LaDuke, a citizen of the White Earth Ojibwe Nation, has called the co-evolution of Indigenous peoples and their environment and surroundings. Material conditions required Nations to develop relationships with human and nonhuman life in order to thrive. Indigenous people didn't pursue a sustainable existence out of some mystical nobility but because reality demanded it.
Writing in the Communist Manifesto in 1848, Karl Marx said, "The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connections everywhere." From an Indigenous perspective, that expanding market transformed abundance into scarcity.
Exploitation, expropriation, and extraction of the land's riches created wealth for those colonizing land and enforcing their claim to it by violence. Marx's term for this process as it had occurred in Europe is usually called "primitive accumulation," although it might be better translated as "primary" or "original" accumulation.
As Glen Coulthard, a citizen of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, argues in his book Red Skins, White Masks: Rejecting the Colonial Politics of Recognition:
Marx most thoroughly links the totalizing power of capital with that of colonialism by way of this theory of "primitive accumulation." … It was this horrific process that established the two necessary preconditions underwriting the capital relation itself: It forcefully opened up what were once collectively held territories and resources to privatization (dispossession and enclosure), which, over time, came to produce a "class" of workers compelled to enter the exploitative realm of the labor market for their survival (proletarianization). The historical process of primitive accumulation thus refers to the violent transformation of noncapitalist forms of life into capitalist ones.
The process was underway on Turtle Island well before the U.S. Constitution was written, extension of the British colonies into Indigenous land being one of the "rights" fought for in the Revolutionary War. By 1787, the Congress of the Confederation of the United States—as the young republic was then called—passed the Northwest Ordinance, laying the foundation for the eventual incorporation of places known today as Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and parts of Minnesota. The ordinance (reconfirmed when the Constitution was ratified two years later) promoted the settlement of these areas by people of European decent, involving
a three-stage method for admitting a new state to the Union—with a congressionally appointed governor, secretary, and three judges to rule in the first phase; an elected assembly and one nonvoting delegate to Congress to be elected in the second phase, when the population of the territory reached "five thousand free male inhabitants of full age" (i.e., white men); and a state constitution to be drafted and membership to the Union to be requested in the third phase when the population reached 60,000.1
Often, we hear of this push across the continent as "expansion," as if nothing was there beforehand. For Indigenous people, their displacement can only be described as invasion, occupation, and genocide. It was a prolonged process, met with organized resistance all along the way, from the Pueblo Revolt in 1680 through the Dakota Uprising in 1862, the Metis Uprising in 1885, and many more.
With a wider perspective, we see that what the textbooks recall as Manifest Destiny was really capitalist accumulation through colonial expansion—taking the particular form of the settler republic. (Other examples include Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Israel.) The process was militarized from the start. In the United States, the army and its forts pushed deep into Indian Country to protect settlers and were paired with important pieces of legislation, such as the Homestead Act of 1862 and the Pacific Railroad Act of the same year. The Army post was "created in order to serve and protect colonizers from Indigenous people," writes Manu Karuka in Empire's Tracks: Indigenous Nations, Chinese Workers, and the Transcontinental Railroad (University of California Press, 2019), adding, "The infrastructure of war and occupation actually establishes preconditions for settlement."
Let's take a closer look at the Homestead Act of 1862: [E]nacted during the Civil War, [it] provided that any adult citizen, or intended citizen, who had never borne arms against the U.S. government could claim 160 acres of surveyed government land. Claimants were required to "improve" the plot by building a dwelling and cultivating the land. After 5 years on the land, the original filer was entitled to the property, free and clear, except for a small registration fee. Title could also be acquired after only a 6-month residency and trivial improvements, provided the claimant paid the government $1.25 per acre. After the Civil War, Union soldiers could deduct the time they had served from the residency requirements.2 This is the very definition of settler-colonialism. It formed a major plank of the Republican Party platform during the Civil War. And it passed in the same year that Lincoln oversaw the largest mass execution in U.S. history: the hanging of 38 men from the Dakota Nation following the Dakota uprising in Minnesota. The 1873 stock market crash ignited more and more interest in land out west, leading to more railroads, mining, and homesteading. One response to this "progress" came at the Battle at Greasy Grass (Little Big Horn) in 1876, where the United States faced the largest military defeat at that time by the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho. But then settler-republican cunning unleashed one of the most devastating pieces of legislation against Indigenous Nations. The Dawes Act of 1887 brought Indigenous Nations into the capitalist economy by breaking up communal ownership and "giving" individual plots of land to heads of households on the reservation.
Any surplus land was then opened up to settlers. Not until 1934 was this policy overturned with the passage of the Indian Reorganization Act, which is the reason why so many Indian reservations are checkerboards with individual plots. Karuka's book Empire's Tracks, cited earlier, analyzes capital's role as the driving force for settlement: Land grants, and the willful misreading of treaties as real estate transactions, to paraphrase Vine Deloria, were central to the growth of the United States as a continental and then global imperial power, central to waging war at ever-greater scales. Lenin noted, "The capital exporting countries have divided the world among themselves in the figurative sense of the term. But finance capital has also led to the actual division of the world." Before this could happen, in North America, finance capital led to the division of the continent itself, and the transcontinental railroad was a key instrument of the division. Settlers are a tool, but capital is the system that drives this process and ultimately benefits. This is an important point to clarify, for capitalism is always ready to abandon a tool when it has served its purpose and create a new one, as need be.
Nick Estes, a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, is a co-founder of the Red Nation. The Red Nation is an Indigenous-led, revolutionary-socialist organization that fights for Indigenous liberation and an end to capitalism and settler-colonialism. In his recent book Our History Is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance, Estes defines settler-colonialism as the specific form of colonialism whereby an imperial power seizes Native territory, eliminates the original people by force, and resettles the land with a foreign, invading population. Unlike other forms of colonialism in which the colonizers rule from afar and sometimes leave, settler colonialism attempts to permanently and completely replace Natives with a settler population. The process is never complete, and the colonial state's methods for gaining access to new territories change over time, evolving from a program of outright extermination to one of making Indigenous peoples "racial minorities" and "domestic dependent nations" within their own lands, and of sacrificing Indigenous lands for resource extraction.
Let's break this down a little bit. In the United States, treaty-making was unilaterally ended by the government in 1871. Indigenous people would be henceforth treated as a racial minority. Only in 1924 did Native Americans become U.S. citizens, and it took until 1961 for them to gain full voting rights. When Estes says "domestic dependent nations" he is referring to the "trust" relationship between Indigenous Nations and the federal government, which still technically owns the land entrusted to these nations with limited sovereignty. As treaties are broken and resources are extracted on Indigenous land, it's important to know that two-thirds of uranium, one-third of low-sulfur coal, as well as major hydroelectric, oil, and natural gas reserves are located in Indigenous communities. These facts are important to the debate on the left about whether the United States is still a settler-colony or not. Some theorists put forward the idea that a settler-colony is a system where the non-Native population has an interest in displacing Indigenous people and therefore have no interest in standing up for Indigenous rights. This is without a doubt true for the United States throughout its existence up until the mid to late 1800s and early 1900s, as exemplified by the Homestead and Dawes acts.
Estes looks at settler-colonialism in what I consider a more nuanced way, recognizing that the system's beneficiaries have changed in the course of history. In the nineteenth century, the individual settler benefited from the displacement of Indigenous people, while in the twenty-first century that role is mainly played by a corporation like Energy Transfer LP that pushed through Dakota Access Pipeline. However, individual settlers still own land from the systematic process of land theft. Estes says, "According to a 2002 report by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), white settlers own 96 percent of private agricultural lands in the United States, and 98 percent of all U.S. private lands overall." This process of settler-colonialism is alive and well, and descendants of settlers have an ideological choice to reject this system in favor of their material interest and liberation.
Estes examines what settler-colonialism looks like in the modern era by considering the Pick-Sloan Act, which built six dams on the Missouri River between 1946 and 1966. The project flooded Indigenous Nations' land without their consent and displaced many Indigenous people. Estes specifically points to the Oahe Dam, which created Lake Oahe where the battle at Standing Rock took place.Estes says, "The Oahe Dam, the most destructive, destroyed 160,889 acres of Standing Rock and Cheyenne River." Post-World War II growth gave a demand for more extraction and energy policies such as these dams. These infrastructure projects were connected to the newly established Termination policy, which aimed at forcing Indigenous people off reservations into cities and "the total liquidation of Indigenous political authority." The Bureau of Indian Affairs argued how the flooding of Indigenous land would speed up termination and force Indigenous people into the capitalist economy. They said that this would "force [Indians] into seeking cash income to make up for a substantial portion of income now represented in their use of natural resources of their present environment." The Missouri River Basin Investigation, a two-year fact-finding mission begun in 1946, stated that most Indigenous communities in the area relied on the "free goods of Nature," such as hunting, trapping, and gathering. Forcing them to rely on a cash income is what Marxists, if not the Bureau of Indian Affairs, would call proletarianization.
This process is never complete, as Estes says, and the struggle continues today: The project of stealing indigenous land remains fundamental to the United States and its success. Settler-colonialism and its ideological companion of Manifest Destiny are baked into the development of the United States much like slavery and racism and cannot be extracted without completely overhauling the entire system. But the capitalist settler-state has met resistance every step of the way, and still does. Many Indigenous communities have gained back some of their land. For example, the Menominee Nation in northern Wisconsin, which lost its land and status as a nation in the 1950s during the Termination era, regained them in the 1970s during the Red Power era. At the same time, more and more descendants of settlers are having their land taken. We have seen the development of multiracial groups that are fighting the fossil fuel industry, most recently in the organization called the Cowboy-Indian Alliance, which brought together Indigenous people and settlers to fight the Keystone XL pipeline.
Chief Phil Lane, citizen of the Ihanktonwan Dakota and Chickasaw nations, reflected on some of the recent outrage of settlers' land being taken. Dina Gilio-Whitaker, a citizen of the Colville Confederated Tribes, in her book As Long as Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice from Colonization to Standing Rock, quotes Lane reflecting on a meeting between Natives and nonnative farmers.
Those ranchers came in and spoke to that council, and they shared their heart…. So finally we came back after the treaty signing … We had about ten or fifteen ranchers there, they all got up to speak…and one after another they got up and said they're infuriated. They said, … "How could this happen? How can people take our land? How can they do this to us?" And of course … we didn't see a smile but everybody knew what we was thinking about from our side. … So finally this last sister got up to speak and she just said, "I just am so infuriated, they're coming and taking our land. …They just can't do it without our consent…. This is our land that our families have lived in since … you know, how long they have been there." And said, "They're treating us just like … just like. …" and then one of the relatives said, "Just like the Indians." And all of the [sic] sudden there was this beautiful pause and everybody's like, "Yes!" And one of my relatives walked over to her and says, "Welcome to the tribe, welcome to the tribe."
Settlers often say, "If we give land back, they will do what we did to them." This is a colonized mindset. Indigenous liberation is about changing our relationship to land and labor to changing the profit system. I would argue that a future decolonized Turtle Island is looking toward a socialist society that puts forward Indigenous self-determination and liberation and counters racism, white supremacy, settler-colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism. As Clayton Thomas Mueller, a citizen of the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation and an Idle No More activist in Canada said, "imagine if the workers and First Nations actually joined forces in a meaningful coalition—the rightful owners of the land, side by side with the people working the mines and pipelines, coming together to demand another economic model."
Howard Adams, who is Metis from Canada, writes in his book Prison of Grass: Canada from a Native Point of View says,
The Indian and Metis movement must focus primarily on the destruction of imperialism and on the process of decolonization. There is no longer any question of where the native struggle should pursue a capitalist or socialist path of development. Liberation can take place only within a true socialist society.
We will not succeed in slowing, let alone stopping, climate change and devastation, and in having clean air, water, and land unless we stand for Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and the enforcement of treaties. If we do not have a left that understands this and puts the question of land, imperialism, and conquest at its center we will perpetuate the same old song of class reductionism. Indigenous liberation is about liberation for all.

The GlobalNeonat project was presented at the WHO conference on medical devices, which was held in Geneva on November 22nd to 24th. Many contacts were taken, with manufacturers of medical devices, with other entrepreneurs having similar projects, and with scientists interested in collaborating.
The message from the EssentialTech program, which is to develop appropriate devices taking into account the whole life-cycle of the product from the very beginning, aroused a lot of interest. Many issues, although crucial, are indeed often neglected at the early stages of development, but they then make the whole project fail. These issues, such as handling innovation, intellectual property, international regulation, manufacturing or local distribution, are naturally integrated in the EssentialTech approach, which will prevent facing those pitfalls.

Provided that there already is a JPEG Multi File Source Filter that can act as a video source streaming video from local JPEG files, it looked to be useful to build a virtual camera on top of this filter. This is the main difference: an existing filter is generic and customizable: it requires to be provided a directory with the files, other settings may also apply. A virtual camera is the filter that has to work out of the box: a video enabled application, such as AMCap Sample, Media Player Classic, VideoLAN, Skype, Windows Media Encoder enumerates video capture sources, instantiate the one of the interest and it should already be ready to stream.
COM aggregation is quite fitting for the purpose, so the second embedding method is being left for another topic (with a certain luck to be appear very soon, a DirectShow video capture source filter for a real network/IP camera).
The next step is a check of sufficient implementation in an underlying filter. Obviously, a video source that pretends to be a live video capture source needs an endless stream of media samples, while original implementation streams JPEG files as media samples once only, we need an option to loop the streaming and automatically repeat the sequence.
The aggregated (inner) object is created and its "main" IUnknown pointer is saved as lifetime reference (because for the COM aggregated object this is the only interface pointer which AddRef/Release has effect on internal reference counter – see COM Aggregation details). The object is pre-initialzed immediately after creation and the effective values will be taken from registry key "SOFTWARE\Alax.Info\Media Tools\JPEG MultiFile Video Capture Filter" (see below). It also makes sense to pre-query most used object's interfaces to be able to use them directly without querying for them each time they are required.
Once the inner object is here, we need to sort out the list of interfaces to support. Video capture source filters have specific requirements (see Writing Capture Filters), including indication of pin category and implementation of IKsPropertySet interface; optional availability of preview pin, which we can omit from implementation and let Filter Graph Manager use Smart Tee Pin Filter to split stream into preview and capture.
Additionally, various software is expecting IAMStreamConfig interface on the output pin and would just fail to use the video capture device in case of its absence. We don't have this interface implemented on the underlying filter, so we have to implement this on the wrapper. Since we need additional interfaces on the pin and the pin is an owned object of an inner aggregated object, it adds complexity to wrap original pin with a private pin class. An easy implementation of the latter point is not quite safe with COM aggregation, however a well written software that treats IPin interface as the "primary" pin's interface and queries additional from it and holds the reference while using other interfaces will do just fine with a simple implementation on our side.
Another problem with the underlying filter which actually came up later but worth mentioning from the start. A JPEG Multi File Source Filter streams video media sample with an empty format structure attached to AM_MEDIA_TYPE media type. This assumes that an instance of JPEG Frame Decoder Filter will be added downstream and supply missing format by decoding JPEG data. While the filter is flexible enough to dynamically change media type along with JPEG data changes, this is not compatible with (not implemented by) most of the software. JPEG Frame Decoder Filter makes a first guess by settings resolution to 320×240. We need to set the right resolution immediately to avoid media type re-agreement.
To be able to do so we need to pass resolution information from original (inner) filter to the JPEG Frame Decoder Filter instance. It is also important that the filters might have other filters connected in between and in most cases there will be at least Smart Tee Pin Filter. To let the filters effectively communicate between each other and including in a reliable and documented way, available also to other/future filters, JPEG Frame Decoder Filter inroduces a new interface IJpegFrameDecoderFilterSource which, on its input pin connection, it looks for among the upstream filters. Iteratively walking through upstream connections up to developed video capture source filter it reaches our implementation and is capable of changing the default resolution to the effective resolution and exposed correct media type on its output pin right from the start.
Implementation details is available in reference implementation Filter.h in SVN.
An updated version of the dependent binaries Acquisition.dll and CodingI.dll is available from SVN.
IJpegFrameDecoderFilterSource::GetDefaultExtent is the way JPEG Frame Decoder Filter obtains original video resolution.
Another necessary implementation stroke is related to time stamps. The original inner JPEG Multi File Source Filter did not do any frame rate control at which the media samples are sent downstream. It was assumed that renderer filter will enforce media sample presentation time and add necessary delay while playing video frames back. However, this approach does not work in a capture filter: when previewing video, a Smart Tee Pin Filter, which is inserted to make preview samples out of capture samples, is stripping time stamps and video renderer renders media samples at full possible rate. To address this issue, the JPEG Multi File Source Filter is received a new property Rate, which defaults to zero and implements uncontrolled sending of data downstream. With a Rate property value of 1.0, the filter does rate control and adds necessary delay as if the media samples are captured in real time.
Graph Edit and Graph Studio list, insert and are otherwise compatible with the new filter. They don't have any assumptions on the filter implementation except the very basic, so they are quite capable of manipulating the new filter.
AMCap Sample recognizes the capture source and is rendering the filter through Capture Graph Builder, which automatically inserts Smart Tee Pin Filter. The application is properly showing the video from the new filter.
Media Player Classic's "Open Device…" menu command is capable of connecting to the new filter and the application is showing video.
VideoLAN [unexpectedly] failed to receive video from the new filter. It appears that the application is enumerating supported media types and is only capable of accepting those handled directly by the application. JPEG video with FOURCC code 'AIJ0' is not on that list and the application does not make any attempt, that a proper application would do, to render the filter through intermediate codecs using Intelligent Connect. The application won't be able to receive video from the filter before the latter implements decoding into a well known pixel format, such as for example RGB or YUY2.
Skype beta 4.0.0.176 failed to receive video from the filter, though the filter is seen by the software as a video source. The logs don't indicate the reason and it seems that the application does not like video capabilities and stops trying to get video from the device.
A partial reference Visual C++ .NET 2008 source code is available from SVN, release binary included.
I can't insert this filter in GraphEdit, I got error code 0x80040110, what's this?
The error code 0x80040110 is CLASS_E_NOAGGREGATION "Class does not support aggregation (or class object is remote)" which means that it is unable to create an instance because the class does not support COM aggregation.
When you create the instance by adding a filter to GraphEdit, no aggregation is used in first place. However this filter, as mentioned above, embeds another filter (JPEG Multi File Source Filter) through aggregation and the problem is likely to be that it cannot be created.
I rebult the DLL and updated in SVN so that the latest build does not reference any of these.
If the problems persists, I would appreciate your letting know more about the environment (OS, service packs etc).
After installed Acquisition.dll, it worked except I still can't build a working graph.
Then I've tried to install CodingI.dll, as well as IPP libraries. It's impossible to regsvr CodingI.dll until I put it under \Intel\IPP\6.0.1.070\ia32\bin, since I received "can't load dlls in waterfall procedure". Looks like there's sth wrong to do with IPP enviroment.
Then I manually added HTTP Stream Source filter to GraphEdit and had GraphEdit automatically render the rest of graph, still failed due to same error and error message, finally ended up with GE crashed.
The "waterfall" problem is that Windows still cannot find IPP DLLs. You need to put Intel IPP directories on system search path (envrionment PATH variable) or you can also try putting GraphEdt.exe into ntel\IPP\6.0.*\ia32\bin directory. Or another option is to copy IPP DLLs into Windows\system32 directory.
yeah, you're right. Simply putting GraphEdit into IPP dir got thing worked.
I thought IPP should set its env path by itself. However it was only my own thought, sorry.
Another problem happened now, I built a JPEG Multi File Source graph and specified a dir containing some jpgs, then ran it, then got "the graph could not change its state" with return code "0x80004005".
Do I have to provide some jpgs as same resolution as what gets set in JPEG Frame Decoder filter property page?
Yes you do, because resolution is agreed at connection time, and because real JPEGs are not yet available at the moment, filters use values from property page as a first guess.
If the real JPEGs are of different resolution, filters try to re-agree media types. But Video Renderer is no capable of doing so, and you receive this error.
By the way, you can check RenderHttpMjpegVideo01 Sample which has code to intercept resolution change and restart graph with updated media type. See how you can start this sample from command line.
Finally it worked. Thanks for your help.

Ben Carson, Donald Trump top Michigan poll of Republican presidential candidates
Updated Jan 20, 2019; Posted Sep 16, 2015
By Jonathan Oosting | joosting@mlive.com
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson speaks Friday in St. Louis. Carson has moved into the top tier of the 2016 presidential race as quietly as Donald Trump crashed the party with bombast, and he'll join the billionaire real-estate mogul as a focus of attention at the GOP's second debate.

LANSING, MI -- A political outsider leads a new Michigan poll of Republican presidential candidates -- but it's not brash businessman Donald Trump.
Ben Carson, a Detroit native and retired neurosurgeon, led the field in a poll of 600 likely voters, including 221 who said they would definitely vote in the GOP primary, conducted last week by the Lansing-based Marketing Resource Group ahead of tonight's CNN debate.
Carson polled at 24 percentage points, narrowly edging out Trump, who garnered support from 22 percent of respondents.
With a margin of error of plus or minus four points, the poll effectively pointed to a statistical dead heat between Carson and Trump. None of the other candidates broke double digits, but 21 percent of likely primary voters were undecided.
"Political experience appears to be a liability in this election cycle with outsiders Carson and Trump combining for 46 percent of the likely vote," MRG president Tom Shields said in a statement. "Even though the Donald is dominating political coverage of the presidential campaign, the kinder and gentler lesser known outsider Ben Carson holds the lead in Michigan."
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush finished third in the poll, conducted September 9-14, garnering support from 8 percent of respondents. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (6 percent) and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (4 percent) rounded out the top five.
Trump led a series of previous Michigan polls. Prior to the MRG survey, he was averaging a 4-point lead in Michigan, according to Real Clear Politics.
Carson enjoyed a 12-point lead among women voters in the MRG poll, winning support from 28 percent of female respondents, compared to 16 percent for Trump.
"Trump has a major problem with women and it accounts for Carson's narrow lead among all likely primary voters," Shields said. "Saying he cherishes women has not made up for his recent comments about Megyn Kelly and Carly Fiorina."
While Carson and Trump fared well in the MRG poll, six other candidates will have a chance to woo Michigan GOP voters this weekend at the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference.
Bush, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina are expected to speak at the GOP confab.
Some 2,200 people are already registered to attend the island event on September 18-20, which is already a record, according to Michigan Republican Party spokeswoman Sarah Anderson.
Michigan, with its March 8 primary and relatively large delegate haul, has emerged as a target state for a number of GOP candidates, some of whom have already made multiple visits this year.
The MRG poll was conducted via live operator, with 30 percent of respondents contact on cell phones. The full question and results are below:
If the Republican primary for President was being held today, and the candidates were Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, John Kasich, George Pataki, Rand Paul, Rick Perry, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum, Donald Trump, and Scott Walker, for whom would you vote?
Carson 24%
Trump 22%
Bush 8%
Huckabee 6%
Rubio 4%
Cruz 3%
Fiorina 3%
Kasich 2%
Paul 2%
Walker 2%
Christie 1%
Gilmore 0
Jindahl 0
Pataki 0
Santorum 0
Undecided 21%

Cumin and Arthritis
Types of Cumin
Black Cumin and Arthritis Research
Complementary Treatment for Arthritis
Written by Aubri John
Cumin, a variety of spice native to Mediterranean regions, provides a bold flavor accent to food products. Each form of cumin contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may be useful as a form of alternative and complementary medicine, but research is scarce in evidencing the full benefit of this spice as an adjunct treatment. However, Nigella sativa, or black cumin shows promise for reducing symptoms of inflammation associated with arthritis.
The different types of cumin include Cuminum cyminum L., Bunium persicum B., and Nigella sativa L. Each is derived from the seeds of differing small annual herb plants, but the flavor and uses vary per plant. Although Nigella sativa is referred to as black cumin, it is not related to the other forms of cumin and it resembles black caraway seed. The oil from cumin has antibacterial activity and purportedly aids in relieving indigestion and diarrhea, but clinical evidence does not exist to support such claims, notes Drugs.com 5.
The active ingredients in black cumin include thymoquinone, dithymoquinone and thymol. These constituents are believed to act as antioxidants, anti-carcinogens and reduce inflammation associated with arthritic disease, notes the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center 1. A 2007 animal study published in "Phytotherapy Research" found that the thymoquinone in black cumin effectively reduced inflammation in subjects with arthritis 2. A similar 2011 in vitro study published in the "Journal of Cellular Biochemistry" used isolated human cell samples to determine the effectiveness of thymoquinone on rheumatoid arthritis and results were promising 3. However, ongoing research is warranted to replicate study results in human subjects.
The term "arthritis" refers to the breakdown of cartilage that protects your joints. Arthritis affects different body areas and may include osteoarthritis from normal wear and tear of your joints as you age, or rheumatoid arthritis, which occurs from autoimmune disease and generally presents in the extremities on both sides of the body. No matter the type of arthritis, the commonality is joint inflammation with pain, stiffness and reduction of movement surrounding the impacted joints. Medical treatment aims to minimize the symptoms experienced through use of anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteriods or a combination of prescriptions targeting the cause of arthritis.
Consult your physician before using cumin to relieve inflammation associated with arthritis. Complementary methods to reduce symptoms include low-impact exercises to maintain your range of motion, massage, use of orthotic support for impacted joints and heat or ice therapy. You may also find it helpful to avoid staying in one position for too long, eating foods that do not cause inflammation including fish and nuts and engaging in stress-reduction activity like meditation.

What Tara and Turner planned as a perfect snowy family trip to the North Carolina mountains in January 2009 turned out to be anything but when the Simkins rushed their fever stricken son, Brennan, back to Augusta, Georgia. Brennan was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia ("AML") on the eve of his 7th birthday.
After undergoing chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant (thanks to a donation from his older brother, then ten years old), Brennan was pronounced in remission, but soon relapsed. The hospital told Tara and Turner to pack up their bags; determined to Press On, they began a nationwide search for a hospital that would treat Brennan. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital opened their doors and created protocols for Brennan. He received three more bone marrow transplants, bringing the total to four in a record 18 months. His two brothers remained by his side every step of the way, from Augusta, to Atlanta, to Memphis. Thanks to his family, friends, and the dedicated team at St. Jude, Brennan has been cancer-free for six years.
For more details on Brennan's Story, you can read Turner's book Possibilities, available online from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Absolutely, the most important factor that is considered while purchasing medicaments from the Web is to make a best choice. To purchase medicaments online from a preferred web-site is safe. Other medicaments are used to treat complaints such as hair loss. What about buy propecia online and alopecia? Very likely every adult has heard about buy propecia. (Read more finasteride online). A extended medical state present is hair loss. What physic does treat alopecia? Most of patients using this physic mostly do not have any side effects to Finasteride. Even if this drug is not for use in women, it is not known whether this generic could detriment a nursing baby.
They say I'll never swim in the ocean. They say I'll never sing on the moon.
Last Fall, I was eating lunch with Turner and our friend, Joe Stevenson, the Executive Director of 12 Bands. Joe was sharing how much he was enjoying a creative songwriting phase in his life, and I mentioned how much I would love to write a song about childhood cancer which focused on the possibilities instead of the inevitabilities. I am and continue to be inspired by what the human spirit can accomplish when told, "you can't." Don't get me wrong. I am a realist, but I am also a dreamer. If there is even the slightest possibility that something may be accomplished, some barrier may be pushed, some new ground broken, then I believe there is value in the effort of reaching for that possibility. If it turns out that the dream cannot be realized in the end, I tend to see how the dream actually was realized in every step taken toward its ultimate goal. The magic happens in the believing in the dream and the inspired action taken toward achieving the dream, not in reaching the ultimate goal.
Attending church by myself is not something I grew up doing. As a matter of fact, in such circumstances, I probably would have creeped myself out not that long ago. Things change, though. What would at one time have been a straight shot into the bowels of discomposure has transmogrified itself into an amazingly accurate channel for insight.
Gasping atop the steps leading from the Mississippi to our home-away-from home atop the bluff in Memphis, the remaining warmth from the setting sun cascaded itself around the gigantic steel girders of the railroad bridge in front of me. Looking up, it was blinding.
It is precisely because they play that we press on. As the song says, we're changing day-to-day, but the children always play. Through our own life-experience with innocence, we have all lived. Whether through our past, our fervent devotion to our own children, or even a glancing appreciation for a joyful child we meet in passing, we are able to taste and feel the purity of life, the irreproachability of love. Things change. People die, but the children always play.
Monday, December 5, Brennan and I spent virtually the entire day at the hospital clinic. It was bone chilling cold outside; cold, windy and rainy, three of the primary ingredients strictly excluded from his daily lifestyle prescription. When it is my turn to be accompany this little man, days like this are maddening. Fortunately, he is feeling better, and therefore impatient and eager enough to pursue fun things unattainable on days like this.
Tuesday morning, October 4 2011 was my day with Brennan. We awoke early with the rest of the gang, helping Christopher and Nat getting with their breakfast (a la Tara's usual pre-school chocolate-chip pancake recipe) and ready for school. These days Brennan is feeling pretty good, serving as the attache to whichever parent is leading the morning charge.


Welcome to our website, thank You for your attention.
Our institution has been running since 1952 in Esztergom, one of the most beautiful historical towns of Hungary.
We provide special educational activities of national competence, under ministerial maintenance.
In the system of national child care our institution ensures the correctional education, training of 10-18-year-old girls living in state-care, having grave problems of behavior and integration.
As is well-known, at the age of prepuberty and puberty, the running of maturity can be easely distracted by a disordered social environment, a badly functionning family, failures at school, negativ relationships, and many other factors, and as a consequence, these young adults are becoming deviant, antisocial and endangered to delinquency.
We have qualified specialists, psycho-pedagogues, social-pedagogues and remedial teachers to train and to take care of girls having similar problems. We can also provide them psychological and medical attendance.
The accomodation of these young adults should be initiated by the county boards-of-specialists and approved by the national board-of specialists.
The avarage period what a girl spends in our institution is a 2-year-long time.
Our goal is to help these young adults to become able to comply with basic social and human norms and rules and to acquire some other knowledge and learning that facilitate their future social- human- and family lives.
Moreover, through our developping activity, beside of handling and dissolving those disorders, we contribute to juvenile-delinquency-prevention.
The main parts of the institution are the HOME, the INTERNAL SCHOOL and the MEDICAL UNIT.
In the morning the children do their studies at the internal school. Beside of basic education, they learn houshold and agricultural matters.
Our students have the possibilty to acquire the same knowledge, that in other schools, they can learn informatics and languages as well. They do their professional practice in the practicing kichen and at the horticulture.
In the home unit, the girls live in familiar rooms (8 girls by room).
In the anfternoon, after the obligatory trainings, we offer them several types of pastime programs.
They are talented in arts and crafts, in in embriodery, in sewing, in dance and sports.
We regulary organise internal cultural- and sport competitions. Those who seem to be the most talented are often invited to national displays and competitions.
Under exchange programmes they can even go to abroad on their summer holidays, just like to Slovakia, Sweden, Germany, where tey can get brand-new knowledge and exeperiences, what can help their effective future development.
Unfortunately, these young adults are not appreciated by the sociaty.
To make this approach change we need to prove and present their worth and talent – necessitating important financial inputs.
With good intent the employees and some external individuals gave birth to an endowment called WILD FLOWERS ENDOWMENT (VADVIRÁGOK ALAPÍTVÁNY) helping with donations the up to standard accomodations and attendance of these young girls.
If, after this short introduction, you feel longing to contribute to the effective developing and appreciating of these handicapped children, we would welcome your sponsorship with pleasure.
