Sustainability, Climate Change and Environment FAQs
Here are a few frequently asked questions on the subjects of sustainability, climate change and the environment.
Climate change is about large-scale, long-term changes to the earth's climate. In the past, it has happened naturally. But recent warming of the climate is being driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels. These release greenhouse gasses which trap energy from the sun and warm the earth. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) defines climate change as a "change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods."
There has been loads of talk about how our climate is changing, with scientists warning us all the time that these changes are happening right now and they are harming living and non-living things on Earth. For example, there are places that were really, really cold and now they're getting warmer. On the other hand, there are places that are really hot and they're getting colder. This is called global warming.
What is the greenhouse effect?
Sometimes people build greenhouses, which is a small glass house to grow flowers or trees. They build them to keep that hot sun in there and not escape. The Earth is like a glasshouse, with some important gases that keep us warm like water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. When the sun heats the earth, these gases make sure that the heat is kept on the surface of the Earth. Without these gases, the heat would escape back into space and our temperatures down here would be about 16⁰C colder.
What can climate change do?
Global Warming causes land and water to expand because of the heat, and it also causes ice sheets to melt. When lots of ice melts it becomes water and then goes into streams, rivers, lakes and seas. This means that our water levels are rising. This could cause floods. Our weather can be more extreme where we could have more droughts, or severe storms and heavy rain. Climate change can be difficult for plants and animals, for example where polar bears and penguins live in icy conditions and those ice sheets start to melt, they'll have nowhere to live.
How is climate change affecting the UK?
Climate change is a global crisis and is already affecting us in the UK. Impacts include more intense heat waves and heavier rain which in turn affect health and agriculture and change flood risk. In West Lindsey we have experienced instances of severe flooding and these events are occurring with greater frequency.
What does the science say?
The most recent influential report on climate change was produced by The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018. In a paper entitled 'Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C' the Panel advised that meeting a 1.5 °C target rise is possible but would require "deep emissions reductions and rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society." Furthermore, the report found that "limiting global warming to 1.5 °C compared with 2 °C would reduce challenging impacts on ecosystems, human health and well-being" and that a 2 °C temperature increase would exacerbate extreme weather, rising sea levels and diminishing Arctic sea ice, coral bleaching, and loss of ecosystems, among other impacts. The report also showed that, for global warming to be limited to 1.5 °C, "Global net human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) would need to fall by about 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching 'net zero' around 2050."
What do we mean by 'net zero emissions'?
Net zero emissions is achieving a balance of emissions so that we only produce the same amount of greenhouse gases that we take in. This means that, on average, we are not releasing any additional harmful emissions into the atmosphere because we absorb the same number of units of greenhouse gases that we put out. It is impossible to emit zero emissions but net zero means that what we do produce is cancelled out through planting trees and plants, for example, which take in carbon dioxide.
What is Carbon Neutrality?
Carbon neutrality is a term used to describe the action of organisations, businesses and individuals taking action to remove as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as each put in to it. The overall goal of 'carbon neutrality' is to achieve a zero carbon footprint without the use of carbon offsetting. For example if an organisation emits 100,000 tonnes of carbon prior to any reduction measures, it would need to reduce their emissions to zero without any carbon offsetting.
What is a carbon footprint?
This term is defined as the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an individual, event, organisation, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. Greenhouse gases, including the carbon-containing gases carbon dioxide and methane, can be emitted through the burning of fossil fuels, land clearance and the production and consumption of food, manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings, transportation and other services.
When do we need to reach net zero emissions?
The Government has set a target of 2050 to achieve this position. The council has made a similar pledge. This target date is based on the science behind keeping global temperature rise below 1.5C and what is fair and equitable.
Benefits of taking action
A net zero emissions target, fully implemented, will cut energy bills by improving the efficiency of our homes and businesses, it will get rid of the exhaust pipe emissions that pollute the air we breathe, and it will help to bring about the restoration of our natural habitats, so they become stores of carbon, from forests to peatlands. We can have a greener district with cleaner air – and by making a clean break from harmful emissions, we'll be sending a signal to our residents and communities that the council is shouldering our responsibility and leading the fight against climate change
There are benefits in the form of new employment opportunities; new jobs and 'green' jobs. New technologies such as electric or plug-in hybrid cars, energy-efficient homes or offices with intelligent heating and cooling systems. Secure supplies of energy and other vital resources. It would also lead to more efficient public transport systems in towns and cities, leading to reduced congestion and opportunities for more cycle ways, footpaths and green spaces and improved health and wellbeing. Communities at most risk of suffering the adverse impacts of climate change e.g. coastal communities, will face less of a threat to their homes and livelihoods as instances of extreme weather subside
Cleaner air; oceans and seas and a reduction in rising sea levels will all help to protect and enhance endangered species and natural habitats
What is being done about Climate Change?
What is the UK doing?
The UK Government has been active for some time. The UK Climate Change Act of 2008 was the first piece of legislation to legally mandate a nation to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions - in this case by 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. Many countries have subsequently introduced their own equivalent legislation and in 2015, the Paris Agreement was signed by 197 countries with the aim of limiting "the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2◦C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5◦C above pre-industrial levels". Following the IPCC report, in May 2019 the UK Government declared a non-legally binding Climate Change Emergency declaration and the Committee on Climate Change recommended a new emissions target for the UK: net-zero greenhouse gases by 2050. This was made a statutory target in June 2019 through the Climate Change Act (2050 Target Amendment) Order 2019
What is West Lindsey District Council (WLDC) doing?
We are renewing our Carbon Management Plan and developing a Sustainability, Climate Change and Environment Strategy to ensure it too reduces its emissions to net-zero by 2050
What has WLDC done so far to reduce carbon emissions?
The council has been working to reduce emissions for over ten years and in that time they have reduced by around one third. Among the initiatives it has introduced are the fitting of solar panels on its buildings, changing to LED lighting in its offices, implementing agile-working and technology to hold video-conferencing to reduce unnecessary travel and moving to paper-light meetings. The council's current Carbon Management Plan expires in 2021 and will be refreshed to support further work to lower our emissions
Each and every one of us can make a difference and here are some things you can do straight away to help!
Go by bus, and get the whole family to do the same
Walk wherever you can instead of driving
Get your bike out and go cycling instead of getting in the car
Plant trees, flowers and shrubs
Turn off lights and don't leave taps running
Talk about what you are doing to friends – spread the message and the benefits
What can I do to reduce my carbon footprint?
Climate change can be tackled but only if people are willing to embrace major shifts in the way we live. Current annual household emissions are around 10 tonnes in the UK so there are many actions we can take as individuals or families to reduce the impact our activities have on the climate and our surrounding environment. Some examples include using electric vehicles or making less car journeys and using public transport, cycle or walk instead; planting flowers and shrubs; ensuring homes are well-insulated; conserving water; use renewable energy sources or recycling and reusing materials.
Will it cost me more to reduce my carbon footprint?
Not necessarily. Using your car less, being smarter with your home heating, conserving energy and water and reusing materials will all reduce your outgoings and bills. Some other measures such as insulating your home will cost initially but that would be recouped through the savings you achieve through cheaper energy bills. In many ways spending some money to reduce climate change will be less expensive than the costs of having to adapt to climate change.

As you may have already noticed, I've just done a major re-construction on the blog. There's still a little fine tuning to do, and some additions to make but I'm really happy with the slick new look!
Feel free kick the tires and take her for a spin around the block. 🙂 I'd love to hear what you all think!
There'll be a new image post soon!


"They are all truely amazing 😉 I am having SO much fun with them, I love the Macro lens I love taking photos of my flowers, they all seem to come to life and look truely stunning. I am looking forward to trying all the others to, hoping this weather gets better and then one can go out and about and learn new things. Thank you very much I am enjoying my new phone and my new lenses. I want to order the filters next :) "
"I've tried from a friend of mine his "Moment Fisheye Lense" and I didn't like the vintage it had in every picture. When I look at reviews of the Sandmarc lenses I couldn't resist to order one myself. I just received it las night and I already loved it have taken several pictures and videos and people in my intagram loves theme I cannot wait to travel around the world with this lese, please don't think too much just get it specially if you post lots of picture on the media. Thank you sandmarc, my next lense would be the fue lense."
"From order to delivery was quick so big thumbs up on that. The lense itself is great and sharp edge to edge with little to no chromatic abhorration, no vignetting so another plus. The downside is the lense is heavy and the case is flimsy, thin and slippery, it's very hard to hold, so I used my mini tripod with smartphone holder to compensate. I would like to see a more robust case, which I would absolutely buy. Thinking about purchasing the telephone lens as I am happy with the wide angle lens."
"Excellent wide angle with minimal distortion.Very pleased with the results so far.Solid construction with a screw fit,which I prefer to some of the bayonet iPhone lenses I have tried. My only complaint is the rather flimsy case with minimal grip and I consider it a bit expensive,but overall a good wide lens."
"Looks great works amazing! Plus takes amazing photos. "
"Couldn't have imagined how well the lenses would work ! Build quality, quality of glass and amazing results have left me wanting more and more of sandmarc ! "
"Great build quality and works well as an individual product as well as a add on to two of my Sandmarc lens."
"Each one of the lenses is amazing, and the quality (build and results) is superb. Im so much happy with my new Sandmarc Pro kit for Iphone XR. Also, the customer support service is over the top. 10/10. I will surely buy with them again. GREAT PRODUCT AND SERVICE!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!"
"Great lens!! Above my exceptions!!"
"I will review the product as soon as the weather breaks here in northern Illinois. Great shipping product looks awesome so far just have not used them on my DJI phantom 3 advanced"
"Cover fits perfectly and has great grip. The lens is reasonably easy to screw in. The results are excellent quality without distortion. You definitely need the third party software to use it on the iPhone's telephoto lens."
"I did all my research and this company and wife lense is worth every dollar! High quality lense and case and from my research the Only lense company that uses a screw in metal insert in the case for a secure hold. I will continue to use Sandmarc for all my lense needs!! Thanks Sandmarc! "
"Turned out better than I thought it would. Very well made and solid lens. Feels like you're using a real camera. If I had the money I would buy the entire collection of lenses and filters."
Wide Lens Edition - iPhone XS Max.
"Pro: Great building quality lens. Sharp and maintain high resolution photo and great perspective control. Cons: Case quality should consider to improve and design to be more intuitive. Lens cannot be use for selfie (not sure why?) and this is one of a big raw back. "
"The lenses are great, superb quality. Way easier to tote around than my suitcase full of gear that I use with my DSLR. I wish there was a good carry case that would hold all four lenses though. Sandmarc ships each lens with both a clip and a phone case, so you end up with 4 clips and 4 cases. I would rather have one case, one clip and and a carry case for all four lenses. The way the products ship right now, they come with individual pouches for each lens, but there is no way to know which lens is in which case. I'd rather have a case where it would be easy to tell the fish-eye from the wide-angle, etc."
"I've tested a few, but when it comes to quality and result this wide lens is just awesome and a must have for iPhone film makers ... but ... although Sandmarc wide lens comes with a standard 17mm thread, the lens does not fit in rigs like the Ulanzi U-Rig Metal where the lens could be screwed on. That is because the lens boy shape is not conical enough. Maybe sandmarc is going to figure out how the can outperfom this product by providing a 17mm or 37mm thread ... everyone will still need your case when using a gimbal ;-)"
"Awesome lens! Very high quality and HEAVY lens for your phone. I am thoroughly impressed and satisfied with the engineering and design that went into this lens. The FOV that is achieved using this lens on your phone/device is incredible and opens up your footage so much!"
"The fishbowl lense fits easily and adds intrigue to landscape photography. "
"Loving my fisheye lens. Don't really take many pictures, but since having this lens I find myself taking so many. Thanks Sandmarc."
"This has changed our photography entirely We need it for the problems of photographing a fresh tattoo. The filter certainly does the trick and makes the pictures wonderfully crisp and clear and kills the unwanted glare completely. Couldn't be happier!!! Amazing product!!"
"Love it! I have all of the Sandmarc Lenses and they are super clean. Very professional work can be done with these lenses. I use them faithfully! "
"These lenses are the perfect way to improve my listing photos. I knew that I would need a wide angle lens to truly capture rooms inside of standard ranch style homes. Instead of buying a DSLR lens, I was able to put this photography edition into use. I now can build life-like virtual tours with ease! I would highly recommend Sandmarc products. "
"Wish I had a discount code for another purchase "
"Is amazing love this filter"
"Only problem is when I go to 10 X on the iPhone XS it blacks out periodically ! "
"The wide angle works great. Better than the telephone. No complaints."
"I'm no photographer. It would even be a stretch to call me a hobbyist. I'm just an average dude who snaps photos of his kids from time to time. Every time I slap on this wide lens, I'm blown away. Whether we're outside or inside, it gives me a shot that much more resembles what I'm actually seeing out in the world. I'm glad I made this investment. It's impressed me so much that I'll definitely be checking out the other lenses in the future. This is just a thought that in no way has hurt my experience with this product, but being a parent, I'd love if you offered a more rugged case. The case provided certainly gets the job done and looks really sleek but just for peace of mind, I'd prefer something that had more of a lip around the screen and more grip."
"Awesome lens. You can follow my Instagram @TailRaomer_T4R for photos "

Q: How to get button click from UIView to ViewController? I have created on custom View which contain one label and button
I have created outlet for both in UIView class

I have one UIViewController in which i have subview that custom view
now i want to change label name and want to do something on button click.
let commonView = UINib(nibName: "CommonView", bundle: nil).instantiate(withOwner: nil, options: nil)[0] as! CommonView
        firstView.addSubview(commonView)

        commonView.lblCommon.text = "We can change label in particular Screen"

I am able to change label text but how can i get button action event in UIViewcontroller?

A: Use protocol
In your customView declare a protocol
protocol CustomViewProtocol : NSObjectProtocol{
    func buttonTapped()
}

Now create a variable in custom view
weak var delegate : CustomViewProtocol? = nil

In your viewController confirm to protocol
extension ViewController : CustomViewProtocol {
    func buttonTapped() {
        //do whatever u waana do here
    }
}

set self as delegate in view controller
let commonView = UINib(nibName: "CommonView", bundle: nil).instantiate(withOwner: nil, options: nil)[0] as! CommonView
        firstView.addSubview(commonView)
commonView.delegate = self

finally in IBAction of button in custom view trigger delegate
self.delegate?.buttonTapped()

A: In Swift 4:
If you want to catch the tap within your UIViewController do this in the viewDidLoad() after you instantiate your view from a nib (eg called aView):
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer.init(target: self, action: #selector(tapAction))
aView.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

Below viewDidLoad declare the following function and do whatever you want within its body:
@objc func tapAction() {

    //Some action here

}

(A note: In Swift 4 the @objc annotation is obligatory, because it denotes that you want the function to be visible to the Obj-C runtime, which in UIKit handles (among other things) user interactions through its messaging system.)
Since this UIView instance belongs in the view hierarchy of this UIViewController it makes sense to handle the taps within this UIViewController. This gives you the ability to reuse this UIView within any other UIViewController and handle its tap logic from the respective UIViewController.
In case there is a particular reason you want the taps handled within the UIView, you can use the delegate pattern, a closure, or in a more advanced implementation a Reactive framework (ReactiveSwift or RxSwift/RxCocoa)

A: The way to do it with RxSwift/RxCocoa:
view.rx
.tapGesture()
.when(.recognized)
.subscribe(onNext: { _ in
 //react to taps
})
.disposed(by: stepBag)

There are over 30 entries on the Calderdale Companion for people with the surname Parkinson, as discussed in this SideTrack. This count does not include other forms of the surname.


The cross of St. Patrick referred to in the law is a diagonal cross, known in vexillology as a saltire. Because the bars must be at least six inches wide, small representations of the Alabama flag do not meet the legal definition.
On January 11, 1861, the Alabama Secession Convention passed a resolution designating an official flag. Designed by several women from Montgomery, final touches were made by Francis Corra of that city. One side of the flag displayed the Goddess of Liberty holding an unsheathed sword in her right hand; in her left she held a small blue flag with one gold star. Above the gold star appears the text "Alabama" in all capital letters. In an arch above this figure were the words "Independent Now and Forever". The reverse side of the flag had a cotton plant with a coiled rattlesnake. The text "Noli Me Tangere", ("Touch Me Not" in Latin), was placed below the cotton plant.
This flag was sent to the governor's office on February 10, 1861. Due to damage from severe weather, the flag was never flown again.
Alabama's current flag was adopted in 1895. The legislation introduced by Representative John W. A. Sanford Jr. stipulates that "[t]he flag of the state of Alabama shall be a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars forming the cross shall be not less than six inches broad, and must extend diagonally across the flag from side to side." Sanford's father, John W. A. Sanford, had commanded the 60th Alabama Infantry Regiment during the U.S. Civil War and he modeled his design on the battle flag used by that regiment. The design of that regimental flag was a white saltire over a blue field with a circle of white stars surrounding the crossing. It had been adopted from the flag of Hilliard's Legion of Alabama Volunteers which was raised in 1862 and dissolved after the Battle of Chickamauga with parts of its 1st and 3rd battalions entering the 60th Alabama Infantry. The regimental flag accompanied them through the end of the war and was surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse.
The saltire of Alabama's flag most closely resembles the saltire of the flag of Florida, which has its heritage in the Spanish Cross of Burgundy. Southern Alabama was originally part of Spanish Florida and subsequently West Florida. Although Alabama's adoption of its flag design predates that of Florida's by five years (1895), the 1868–1900 Seal of Florida depicted a white flag with a red saltire, similar to Florida's current flag or a Burgundian saltire, on top of a steamboat. Alabama's flag is officially a St. Andrew's cross as described in its legislation, and so is the Cross of Burgundy (Spanish: Cruz de Borgoña, Cruz de San Andrés), representing the cross on which St. Andrew was crucified.
It is sometimes believed that the crimson saltire of the current flag of Alabama was designed to resemble the blue saltire of the Confederate Battle Flag. Many battle flags were square, and the flag of Alabama is sometimes also depicted as square. The legislation that created the state flag did not specify that the flag was to be square, however. The authors of a 1917 article in National Geographic expressed their opinion that because the Alabama flag was based on the Battle Flag, it should be square. In 1987, the office of Alabama Attorney General Don Siegelman issued an opinion in which the derivation from the 60th Alabama Battle Flag is indicated, and also concluded that the proper shape is rectangular, as it had been depicted numerous times in official publications and reproductions; despite this, the flag is still often depicted as being square, even in official publications of the U.S. federal government.
Another remote, but possible inspiration was the flag carried by Co. "F", 7th Alabama Cavalry. The regiment was the only Alabama regiment in Rucker's Brigade, commanded by Col. Edmund Rucker of Tennessee (later Alabama), who became a prominent Birmingham businessman after the war. The flag of Rucker's brigade utilized a white background with a red saltire charged with 13 blue/green stars. This flag was given to Co. "F", 7th Alabama Cavalry by Rucker so that they might act as his Color Guard, and is held by the Alabama Department of Archives and History as part of its Alabama Civil War Period Flag Collection. But the flag carried by Co. F 7th Alabama was not an Alabama flag, it was the flag made for Rucker's Brigade a month before the 7th joined his brigade; the 7th was color party only after September 24, 1864. A bunting flag that exists, in the white and red configuration with 13 blue stars, is not believed to be Alabama-associated, but rather to be tied to Rucker's Brigade, as well.
The flag of the governor of Alabama is a variant of the state flag. In the top saltire, the flag displays the state coat of arms. The bottom saltire contains the state military crest which consists of a cotton plant with full bursting boll.

Q: Is there a way to track a UIPinchGesture when one finger leaves and subsequently returns? I have an iPad app that makes extensive use of UIGestureRecognizers of all flavors.  Generally, I'm a big fan.  I have one nagging and very specific issue with a UIPinchGestureRecognizer:
Consider a scenario where a user makes a pinch gesture. Then, without moving one finger AT ALL, removes the other finger and replaces it in a different location and continues the pinch. (It's not as impossible as it sounds).
My problem seems to lie specifically in the UIGestureRecognizer's general inability to notice when a finger leaves the screen and trigger any sort of action.  I've noticed this in other places (touchesBegan and touchesEnded) as well, but I've been able to hack around it. Not this time.
Here's how the action looks to UIGestureRecognizer:

*

*UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan, as the pinch starts.

*n UIGestureRecognizerStateChangeds, while the pinch changes.

*Awkward silence as the user removes a finger.

*Awkward silence as the user replaces the finger, probably far away.

*Another UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged, as the pinch resumes. 5.

Now, I have a problem at step 5.  Since nothing is happening in the handler at steps 3 and 4, it transitions perfectly seamlessly from UIGestureRecognizerStateChangeds in 2 and 5, but a lot has happened.  To the handler, it looks like the user just made an incredibly fast pinch, with the rebellious finger traveling potentially hundreds of screen units in the time between handler messages.
Now, if it were impossible for the user to actually make a pinch that fast, I could just put a threshold on allowable finger position deltas between updates.  But it is possible.  A fast pinch gesture can indeed have a user's finger traveling such great distances. So the climax of the problem is this; UIPinchGestureRecognizer's inability to distinguish the odd situation above from a fast pinch gesture.  I need to handle these in very different ways, and right now I have no way whatsoever to tell the difference. Why can't the OS tell me when a finger leaves the screen? Is this a feature of the capacitive screen hardware or an OS bug? Or... intentional design...?

A: I don't think there's anything you can do to make UIPinchGestureRecognizer tell you about a finger touching down or up, but you can make your own gesture recognizer subclass. Below is a scale gesture recognizer that is similar to pinch, and it distinguishes between a one touch and a two touch gesture (the handleOneTouchGesture selector is empty in this example but you could do something like compute a move distance).

A painter of flowers, Pierre-Joseph Guérou perpetuates a difficult art to which Pierre-Joseph Redouté, "the Raphael of flowers", had given its nobility in the Age of Enlightenment, both by the illustration of the most important botanical textbooks, and by painting. Classified as a minor genre of painting, landscape becomes a noble and grandiose subject with the romantics. Thus, in 1849, George Sand had seen Delacroix "in ecstasy in front of a yellow lily whose beautiful architecture he had just understood" (La Revue des Deux Mondes, June 1, 1860). The painting of flowers is thus revalued by this poetic sensibility, and invades the interiors decoration. It is also not uncommon for small merchants to commission flower paintings from young bohemians for their clientele.
A member of the 1830s youth, which had turned to painting, engraving and literature in France, Pierre-Joseph Guérou appeared for the first time when he was only 18 in 1836, for having proposed two Watercolors at the annual painting Salon, a Carnation Study and a Hollyhock. Guérou is indeed from the generation growing up in the romantic years, like Théodore Chassériau or Gustave Courbet, where reigns the cult of Nature. Thus, he might have wished to follow the footsteps of Simon Saint-Jean, the young painter who in 1833 had made a great impression with Flowery Hat, flowers and fruits, a still life where a bouquet of flowers was staged in a landscape.
Gifted in the reproduction of flowers, Guérou probably earned his living as a porcelain painter for about ten years and was finally employed by the famous Sèvres Manufactory as a "flower painter" between 1847 and 1848. Far from being reserved only for secondary talents, porcelain workshops received the most promising brushes, as was the case of Auguste Renoir employee of Lévy Frères in his youth.
In the year 1849, Guérou sent two porcelain paintings to the annual Salon of the Tuileries Palace, Bouquet of Flowers and Flowers and Fruits. The exhibition opens on June 15, and it is perhaps there that Julien-Nicolas Rivart prospects to find a collaborator in porcelain decoration. The latter registered on next September 18th a patent for a new method of inlaying porcelain in wood and in all other types of materials. Shortly afterwards, Pierre-Joseph Guérou was his collaborator in a bold and successful undertaking, the Rivart porcelains enjoying great enthusiasm.
In particular, he signed the flowers adorning Empress Eugénie's Jewel Case, which she bought after the World's Fair of 1855 , and is today kept at the National Museum of the Chateau of Compiègne. In 1852, he painted the inlays of a table preserved in the Murska Sobota Museum (Slovenia), then in 1853, those to be inlaid by Tahan in an impressive flat desk, entered in the Marc Maison Gallery collections. The Gallery contributes in a continuous research to identify his various contributions to Rivart's porcelain inlays, and also identified his signature on a pair of side cabinets, signed 1854.
We can guess the painter Guérou was absorbed in the 1850s by the Rivart adventure, in which he made the most of his art, suddenly stepping from the status of Sevres' employee to that of craftsman in the service of His Imperial Majesty. Without a trace of him at Sèvres after 1848, and knowing no other painter signing Rivart's incrustations, Pierre-Joseph Guérou is likely to be the painter of a very large part, perhaps the totality, of porcelain inlays.
For Rivart and Guérou, the porcelain flowers, certainly have a poetic, oxymoron interest, which explains their omnipresence. With the Rivart process and Guérou's delicate brush, these innovative decorations immortalize the ephemeral work of nature. Guérou, meanwhile, will take advantage of his experience with Rivart to return to the Salon every year between 1863 and 1866, with paintings of flowers on porcelain. In 1863 he exhibited Flowers and fruits, then Flowers after Saint-Jean in 1864. Finally, in 1865 and 1866, he returned to back his first love with two watercolors, Flowers and fruits, and Peonies, demonstrating his personal attachment to these jewels of nature, as an authentic nineteenth-century painter.

Okay it's finally here, my skincare routine! I like to switch up my products quite frequently to see which I love, and which is worth sharing. I cannot tell you how much I love Dr Dennis Gross Skincare line. I'm not being paid to say this either. I love his line and love what he's created. The science behind it is GENIUS and he's genius.
I'm going to go through each product with you, the reason I use it and what it does for your skin. Keep in mind, everyone has different skin types. He has a quiz on his site that you can check out to see what products would work best for you. I know it's quite pricey, but its worth investing in.
Ever since I started following this routine and using his products, my skin is CLEAR AS DAY. No breakouts, redness gone, more balanced skin tone, brighter eyes, skin, and I feel more confident. I don't feel like I have to wear any make up.
He uses a lot of Vitamin C in his products and what it does for your skin is incredible. Read more about it HERE.
Step 4: Apply Step 1 Alpha Beta Peel pads, wait 2 minutes then apply step 2.
Step 5: Apply Dr Dennis Gross C Collagen Serum. 2 Pumps all over face.
Step 6: Apply Dr Dennis Gross Retinol. 1 drop on both cheeks, chin, nose, 2 on forehead and massage into skin.
Step 7: Apply Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Moisturizer all over face and neck. Massage upward.
Step 9: (optional) Massage 4 pumps Rose Hip Oil all over face, neck hands and chest.
Here is the FULL BREAKDOWN of all the products I use, and WHY.
CLEANSE. I wash with Elta Md Cleaser and use the Nion Beauty Brush. Here is a post I did on the NION BEAUTY BRUSHES. I scrub about 1 full pump on about one minute.
SPRAY CUCUMBER MIST. Mario Bedeascu. 4 Sprays all over face.
PEEL PADS. Damp my face with a dry towel, and then I use the amazing Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel Pads. There are 2 steps in this. Step 1 is packed with rejuvenating, powerful yet gentle, exfoliating acids, and step 2 controls the alpha hydroxy acid activity and delivers anti-aging actives, nourishing skin, keeping it balanced, smooth, and radiant – perfectly prepped for a more effective skincare routine. Expect your complexion to appear smoother, with fewer fine lines, a more even tone and texture, and smaller-looking pores. Contains a combination of seven acids, for accelerated results.
Swipe step 1 all over your face neck and chest. Neck and chest are optional. Wait 2 minutes then use step 2 doing the same thing. Start with the Universal Peel Pads and then you can move on to Extra Strength.
C COLLAGEN SERUM. HOW I APPLY: 2 pumps and gently rub in all over face. Dr Dennis Gross has the best serum. WHAT IS IT? This weightless, fast-absorbing gel-serum is power-packed with our 3-O C vitamin C technology, collagen amino acids, and proprietary energy complex. See an instant, reflective brilliance to skin as it works to help improve the appearance of imperfections like dullness, dark spots, rough texture, and expression lines.
FOR ME. My skin has less breakouts (if at all) more balanced skin tone, smooth, bright and I feel more confident.
RETINOL. HOW I APPLY. Drop 1 drop on cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead, then massage into skin.
WHAT IS IT? A fast-absorbing liquid retinol serum supercharged by ferulic acid to help improve the appearance of skin tone, texture, and fine lines for an even, instantly-smoother looking, lit-from-within glow.
APPLY MOISTURIZER. I apply either Bioclarity Hydrate, or Alpha Beta Exfoliating Moisturizer by Dr Dennis Gross, which I just recently started using and LOVE.
EYE GEL. Apply 1 pump Dr Dennis Gross Dew it all Gel.
a smart targeted delivery system that solves clashing under-eye concerns simultaneously–puffiness and dry fine lines. Moisture-attracting Hyaluronic Acid and elasticity-building Japanese "Green Caviar" algae provide line-filling hydration at the surface and improve skin suppleness. Caffeine, Carribean Gargonian Extract, and Sarsaparilla Root work synergistically to improve the appearance of dark circles and puffiness by reducing water retention under the surface. Bonus optical diffusers add luminosity.
What I've noticed, is my eyes never look tired, no puffiness, bright eyes and my eye wrinkles are diminishing.
Lastly, I massage 3-4 drops of Rose Hip Oil on my skin, hands neck and chest. I always massage upward and not down.
Step 3: Apply Dr Dennis Gross C Collagen Serum. 2 Pumps all over face.
Step 4: Apply Dr Dennis Gross Retinol. 1 drop on both cheeks, chin, nose, 2 on forehead and massage into skin.
Step 5: Apply Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Moisturizer all over face and neck. Massage upward.
Step 6: Apply Elta Md UV Clear Tinted Sunscreen. READ WHY I'M A FREAK ABOUT SUNSCREEN. I've never found a better sunscreen for my face. I apply all over my face, neck, chest and hands.
Step 7: (optional) Dab 2 pumps Rose Hip Oil all over face, neck hands and chest.
And there you have it, my full skincare routine every single day. Here is the thing about me. I LOVE skin. It starts with SKIN. You wear it everyday, you put make up on it everyday. Your make up will actually look better because of it. If you want great skin that is, and want to prevent premature aging. We all are going to age, its inevitable, but don't you want to slow down that aging process and stay ahead of the game? The great thing is, is that we have the products now to take care of our skin! Think about when our moms grew up, all they had was ponds to remove their make up, and then they were thinking about face lifts at agae 40-50. We have so many things to care for our skin now, we gotta take advantage, right! Its right at our finger tips, and is so easy. We don't need face lifts in the future, because all we have to do is take 10 minutes everyday, to prevent that from happening when we turn 40. Don't wait until you have a problem to fix the problem, thats when it looks overdone. I always follow preventative measures. That is why I'll never ever look overdone, or to much of something. I want to look natural always.
Here are the 3 biggest tips I follow. I'm just going to go ahead and CAPS these for you, because they're so important.
In order to have great skin, you must follow a SKINCARE REGIMEN and BE CONSISTENT with it. Day in and day out. If you just take 10 minutes a day to take care of your skin, you'll be SO amazed at your results. Everyone has 10 minutes.
DON'T GO TO BED WITH MAKE UP ON. Thats a huge NO NO.
Hope you loved this post! Let me know if you have any questions about any of the products. Happy to answer!

Ботанічний сад «Вілла Таранто» розташований у м. Вербанія (дільниця Палланца) у північно-східній частині мису Кастаньйола на західному березі озера Маджоре в провінції Вербанія-Кузіо-Оссола, регіон П'ємонте. Вважається одним з найкрасивіших в Європі.
Терасовані сади займають площу 16 га, де ростуть десятки тисяч рослин. Сукупна довжина доріжок — 7 км.

Історія
Ключовою постаттю в історії створення садів Вілли Таранто є шотландець капітан Neil McEacharn, зацікавлений ботанікою та закоханий в Італію, яку він відвідав уперше в молодості. У 1928 році він повернувся до Італії з амбітним наміром знайти ділянку, придатну для створення ботанічного саду, але перша спроба пошуків не зазнала успіху. У 1930 році капітан розміщує оголошення в британській газеті «The Times» і отримує відгук на нього від маркізи з Сант Еліа, в якої згодом купує власність Ла Крочетта в Палланці, на мисі Кастаньйола. Цей маєток в скандинавському стилі був побудований у 1880 р. графом Орсетті, серед зелених насаджень були загальні місцеві види — каштани, акації, бамбук. Територія ділянки була невелика і потребувала вагомих змін в цілому.
Роботи проводилися з 1931 по 1940 рік, було викуплено сусідні ділянки, вирізано більше 2 000 дерев, зроблено суттєві зміни в ландшафті, прокладено 8 км водопровідних труб для поливання саду. В цей період McEacharn перейменовує маєток з Ла Крочетта на Вілла Таранто (на честь свого предка Mc Donald, герцога Таранто). Ботанічний сад офіційно відкритий для публіки в 1952 році, а після смерті власника в 1964 році був переданий у розпорядження некомерційній організації.

Вілла Таранто (будівля)
Вілла закрита для туристичних відвідин, оскільки в ній розташована префектура провінції Вербано-Куссіо-Оссола з 1996 року.

Ботанічний сад
Ботанічний сад умовно поділений на декілька зон:
 теплиці,
 терасовані сади,
 квітники,
 гербарій,
 каплиця
Сьогодні сад містить близько 20 тис. сортів рослин, понад 3 тис. видів. Тут зібрані квіткові види з різних куточків світу, серед яких — азалії, дерен (кизил), водяна лілія Вікторія амазонська, водяні лілії Victoria cruziana (вирощені в тропічних теплицях), хвойні Metasequoia glyptostroboides, папороть Dicksonia antarctica, Emmenopterys henryi з сім'ї Rubiaceae і Acer palmatum Mc Eacharn і 300 видів жоржин.

Каплиця

В саду є також каплиця, побудована в 1965 і розроблена проф. Ренато Бонацці, де поховано капітана Mc Eacharn.

What Are Ampakines?
Ampakines are molecules that alter brain chemistry. By altering this brain chemistry, these ampakines can result in an increased attention span, better learning power and a stronger and quicker memory that can allow a person to stay more awake and alert throughout the day and their lives.
In addition, ampakines are being investigated as a possible treatment for disorders of the brain that include Alzheimer's, debilitating mental illnesses, and more, like schizophrenia, severe depression, and even Parkinson's disease
There are several different studies that have been conducted on human patients and test subjects to investigate whether ampakines and people who take ampakine drugs had a better concentration and wakefulness level than those who did not take ampakines. The studies also seem to have shown that ampakines have a much different effect on people than other stimulants like caffeine or amphetamines; ampakines work to produce mental wakefulness in people without some of the major side effects associate with stimulants, like trouble sleeping and more.
The military and other major corporations, organizations, and government entities have shown interest in ampakines as they are fascinated with whether or not ampakines will work on subjects under adverse conditions and in the need to retain memory, focus, and wakefulness. It will surely be interesting to see how the military and other groups use ampakines for learning, memory and concentration in the interests of national security and more.
In addition to these requirements, though, ampakines are especially interesting when it comes to increasing learning ability and educational focus and success. These drugs not only relieve or cure numerous neurological disorders, they can also increase learning potential and work to become, in effect, smart pills.
When these ampakines enhance memory, focus, and communication among students, they can also improve and enhance the speed and amount of learning taking place in a certain sitting, or on a certain day. Ampakines can become a huge asset to the education system, as people begin to use them for learning and school-related requirements.
Finally, ampakines for learning, memory and concentration are used as sleep aids for people with severe sleep disturbances and other major sleep issues. They are not a drug to promote and induce sleep, but rather they serve a purpose in cutting out adverse affects associated with very little sleep and can improve a person's quality of life even if they are unable to sleep for whatever reason.
As it stands, ampakines are critical to health for a great deal of people and in a great deal of situations. It will be interesting to see, as time goes on, how ampakines for learning, memory and concentration can continue to be used for improved tools that can be applied to students, military members, and more. Ampakines are reliable and safe to use for memory and concentration improvements, and they are sure to be a hit in the future when it comes to being used for a variety of neurological needs.

Михаил Яковлевич Земсков (17 июля 1915 — 3 августа 1944) — участник советско-финской и Великой Отечественной войн (в годы Великой Отечественной войны — командир батальона 102-го гвардейского стрелкового полка 35-й гвардейской стрелковой дивизии 8-й гвардейской армии 1-го Белорусского фронта), Герой Советского Союза (1945), гвардии майор.

Биография
Родился 17 июля 1915 года в деревне Дубьё ныне Мосальский район Калужской области в семье крестьянина. Русский. Образование среднее. Работал каменщиком. Призван в армию в 1936 году Мосальским райвоенкоматом. Участник операции по введению советских войск в Западную Белоруссию и Западную Украину в 1939 году, советско-финской войны 1939—1940 годов. В 1941 году окончил курсы младших лейтенантов.

Во время Великой Отечественной войны в действующей армии с августа 1941 года. Сражался на Южном, Юго-Западном, 3-м Украинском и 1-м Белорусском фронтах. Дважды ранен.

Особо отличился при форсировании Вислы на территории Польши и в боях на захваченном плацдарме.
1 августа 1944 года во главе батальона форсировал реку Висла южнее Варшавы, в районе населённого пункта Магнушев.
В боях за удержание и расширение плацдарма батальон под командованием гвардии майора М. Я. Земскова 2 августа участвовал во взятии Магнушева. В последующих боях отразил несколько контратак противника. Во время наступательных боевых действий его батальон уничтожил более двух рот вражеских солдат и офицеров, 13 огневых точек.

3 августа в бою под селом Тшебень (юго-западнее Магнушева) гвардии майор М. Я. Земсков был убит.

Из наградного листа:

За время форсирования реки Висла и прорыва сильно укреплённой обороны противника с большим насыщением огневых средств на левом берегу реки Висла 1 августа 1944 года и последующих тяжёлых наступательных боевых действиях по расширению плацдарма гвардии майор Земсков проявил исключительное мужество, стойкость и умение в командовании своим батальоном.

Когда был создан незначительный плацдарм на левом берегу реки Висла 5-й стрелковой ротой, товарищ Земсков для развития успеха и расширения плацдарма, несмотря на активный артиллерийский обстрел и бомбёжку вражеской авиацией, стремительно форсировал реку и с хода вступил в бой. Противник не выдержал натиска и начал поспешно отходить, бросая оружие. В дальнейшем батальон вёл борьбу по уничтожению разрозненных групп противника.

2 августа 1944 года в районе населённого пункта Магнушев завязался упорный бой. Противник несколько раз переходил в контратаку с поддержкой самоходных пушек, но и здесь батальон устоял, все контратаки противника были успешно отбиты с большими потерями для противника. Батальон нёс потери незначительные. К исходу дня 2 августа батальон во взаимодействии с другими подразделениями ворвался в населённый пункт Магнушев и овладел последним.

3 августа 1944 года южнее села Тшебень завязался упорный бой. Несмотря на всякие трудности, тов. Земсков умело руководил своим подразделением, и в этом бою была одержана победа над врагом. Гвардии майор Земсков сражался как герой.

Во время наступательных упорных боевых действий его батальоном уничтожено более двух рот вражеских солдат и офицеров, 13 огневых точек, подавлен огонь миномётной батареи. Кроме этого, взято в плен 4 вражеских солдата, захвачено 9 пулемётов и до 100 винтовок.

В тяжелых боях южнее села Тшебень 3 августа 1944 года гвардии майор Земсков пал смертью героя.

За проявленное мужество, решительность в бою и прорыв обороны противника на левом берегу Вислы гвардии майор Земсков достоин правительственной награды «Герой Советского Союза» посмертно.

Командир 202 гвардейского стрелкового полка гвардии майор Ойхман.

6 августа 1944 года.

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 24 марта 1945 года за умелое командование подразделением, мужество и героизм, проявленные при форсировании Вислы и в боях на плацдарме, Земскову Михаилу Яковлевичу присвоено звание Героя Советского Союза (посмертно).

Похоронен в селе Тшебень (Trzebień), гмина Магнушев, Козеницкий повят, Мазовецкое воеводство, Польша.

Motorola CES2012
Motorola enters a multi-year partenrship with Intel, devices coming in H2 2012
By Ray S.
During Intel's keynote at CES 2012 today, CEO Paul Otellini invited Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha to announce a multi-year partnership, which is expected to bring us Motorola smartphones and other mobile devices utilizing Intel's processor solutions (read: tablets).
While many of us hoped to see someone at this tradeshow actually announce an Intel-powered smartphone (except for the China-bound Lenovo K800), it looks like we won't have the pleasure. What we got instead is the promise that such devices will come out sometime during the second half of the year.
And that's pretty much all for now. No specs, no details, nothing. Intel did show a "reference platform" - a generic kind of phone which can serve as the basis of an eventual upcoming Motorola smartphone with Intel inside. What that reference phone offered in terms of features included an 8MP camera (with support for up to 16MP sensors), 1080p video playback and power management capabilities that should allow 45 hours of audio playback, 8 hours of talk-time or 14 days of stand-by. Sounds pretty decent to us, though how much of this is going to transition into the actual handsets that are going to hit the market later this year is still a mystery.
As a whole, today's Intel keynote made it clear that the company is still pretty much focused almost exclusively on the PC market, while mobile is more or less seen as a secondary project. We believe that Intel-powered smartphones will eventually hit the market sometime this year, but besides hoping that this will happen sooner rather than later, we also hope that when they hit the market, they will be able to rival the ever-growing ARMy of the competition.

Outdoor footwear brand Keen has finally wrapped up its "Live Monumental" road trip, which the company used to advocate for the protection of public lands.
Keen's road trip spanned nine weeks and started in Portland, Ore. before ending in Washington, D.C., traveling 7,500 miles across 25 states in a bright yellow, renovated 1976 GMC RV. Along the way the campaign collected more than 30,000 petition signatures, rallied support from more than 40 businesses, and hosted more than 47 events, including a reception on Capitol Hill that marked the finale of the 2015 tour and start of Keen's 2016 campaign efforts.
"This summer, through the Live Monumental road trip, we experienced some of the most treasured landscapes in America," said Linda Balfour, Keen brand marketing manager. "Along the way we connected with thousands of people with a shared passion for our natural playgrounds and preserving the public lands on which we play. We look forward to carrying the momentum and enthusiasm generated by the trip into 2016."
The campaign urged the Obama Administration to protect five specific areas in the US that have environmental, recreational and historic significance, and designate them as national monuments through the Antiquities Act. The areas include: Mojave Desert, Calif., Owyhee Canyonlands, Ore., Birthplace of Rivers, W. Va., Boulder-White Clouds, Idaho, and Gold Butte, Nev. A victory during the campaign came on Aug. 7 when Idaho's majestic Boulder-White Clouds was permanently protected as Wilderness.
Major focuses for 2016 will include amplifying local outreach and support in and around Live Monumental's targeted locations, attracting advocacy from more businesses, and attaining a critical mass of signatures before President Obama leaves office with the hope of having the remaining four areas preserved as national monuments.

At the opening night of the Environmental Film Festival Australia in Melbourne last week, festival patron and former Greens senator Bob Brown highlighted the movement against oil drilling in the Great Australian Bight. He painted a picture wherein a major spill in the region could lead to an environmental disaster stretching as far from the site as the NSW coast. It was a sobering introduction to the opening night film, When Two Worlds Collide, Heidi Brandenburg and Mathew Orzel's riveting documentary about violent protests that broke out in Peru over the extraction of natural resources from the Amazon Rainforest. Such operations inevitably place considerable strain on the points at which ecological welfare, economic concerns and ordinary human lives converge.
The most salient reference point for the ecological risks represented by drilling the Bight is of course the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Following the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oilrig, a sea-floor oil gusher flowed for 87 days, spilling millions of barrels worth of oil. Eleven people lost their lives in the explosion, but the environmental damage was catastrophic and ongoing, with one report in April this year finding that 88 per cent of baby or stillborn dolphins within the spill area 'had abnormal or under-developed lungs', compared to 15 per cent in other areas.
Arriving at the same time as the Festival (but not screening as part of it) comes Deepwater Horizon, a big-budget Hollywood film that recreates the events of 20 April 2010; the explosion of the oilrig, and the corporate and economic tensions that led to it.
Rather than an environmental treatise, this is history recast as action blockbuster, featuring muscle-bound movie star Mark Wahlberg as crewmember Mike Williams, a genial working Joe who is on board when the disaster strikes and who, armed with his mettle, physical prowess and general smarts, fights not only to survive but to bring several of his colleagues through with him.
The film properly focuses on the human lives involved. We glimpse Mike's home life with his wife Felicia (Hudson) and their young daughter, who provides her own cute, canned overview of the mechanics of oil drilling. This proves helpful later on when processing some of the story's technical elements.
"The failure to acknowledge the impact of the spill on the natural environment and on the 8332 species that inhabit the area is a major omission."
Later we see Mike wandering the deck of the Deepwater Horizon, exchanging jokes and jibes with his blue-collar colleagues. This establishes him as a relatable everyman and introduces us to an assortment of likeable supporting players, not all of whom are going to survive the day. As he goes, Mike fiddles with phones and smoke detectors; there are plenty of signs that not everything aboard is shipshape.
In depicting the chain of events leading up to the explosion, the film sets up a tension between the professionalism and pragmatism of the crew, who are employees of the rig's owner Transocean, and the corporate greed of lessor BP, who are champing at the bit because the drilling is weeks behind schedule.
The former are overseen by tough but affable 'good guy' Jimmy Harrell (Russell), who butts heads with 'bad guy' BP rep Donald Vidrine (a gleefully smug and sanctimonious John Malcovich). The reality was rather more complex than this, but as a plot device it works to build tension to an almost unbearable level by the time disaster strikes.
By the time the explosion and its afternmath — rendered by the filmmakers with awesome scale and realism — does occur, we are invested in the lives of the characters, and fear for their wellbeing. We see Felicia's reactions to the limited news that is filtering out, and her anxious wait for more of it. This reminds us how much is at stake for Mike and, by inference, for the others on board.
Later, when we are informed — by the silences that accompany a roll call on a rescue boat — of the lives that have been lost, we are invited to grieve for the deceased, and to empathise with the colleagues and loved ones who remain to live with the trauma of what they have just experienced. This is only fitting.
Yet given how deftly the film deals with this human drama, it is a shame its concern for the environmental implications is all but an afterthought. We are given one scene in which an oil-caked pelican crashes into a boat and flails about the cabin like a demented golden snitch. Even here, the focus is more on the danger to the crew than the plight of the poor bird.
The failure to acknowledge the impact of the spill on the natural environment and on the 8332 species that inhabit the area is a major omission in an otherwise very good film, about events that should stand as an object lesson for anyone scheming to unleash comporable operations on the Bight.
The Environmental Film Festival Australia is currently underway in Melbourne and will travel also to Canberra, Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide. For more information including session times visit their website.
As the Mayor of Kangaroo Island in South Australia and in the front line of a major oil spill, I implore people to watch this movie to understand the unfathomable risks of drilling in deep water especially when the current proposal in the Great Australian Bight is to drill through even deeper waters. There is no precedent for this type of exploration and yet our Federal Government will literally hide behind the Regulator if anything does go wrong. We can't blame BP for doing what it needs to do to survive, we need to act against the Federal Government now and stop the Abbotisation of our energy resources.

Q: Knowing best model in Neural Network I trained a model using CNN,
The results are,
Accuracy

Loss

I read from fast.ai, the experts say, a good model has the val_loss is slightly greater than the loss.
My model is different in points, So, Can I take this model as good or I need to train again...
Thank you

A: it seems that maybe your validation set is "too easy" for the CNN you trained or doesn't represent your problem enough. it's difficult to say witch the amount of information you provided.
I would say, your validation set is not properly chosen. or you could try using crossvalidation to get more insights.

A: First of all as already pointed out I'd check your data setup: How many data points do the training and the test (validation) data sets contain? And have they been properly chosen?
Additionally, this is an indicator that your model might be underfitting the training data. Generally, you are looking for the "sweet spot" regarding the trade off between predicting your training data well and not overfitting (i.e. doing bad on the test data):

If accuracy on the training data is not high then you might be underfitting (left hand side of the green dashed line). And doing worse on the training data than on the test data is an indication for that (although this case is not being shown in the plot). Therefore, I'd check what happens to your accuracy if you increase the model complexity and fit it better to the training data (moving towards the 'sweet spot' in the illustrative graph).
In contrast if your test data accuracy was low you might be in an overfitting situation (right hand side the green dashed line).
