Online Verification
4C's
Diamonds can have internal characteristics known as inclusions or external characteristics known as blemishes. Diamonds without inclusions or blemishes are rare; however, most characteristics can only be seen with magnification.
A stone is said to be flawless if, under 10-power magnification, no internal flaws (clouds, feathers, pinpoints) and no external imperfections (scratches, pits, nicks) are visible. Absolutely flawless diamonds are exceedingly rare and priced accordingly. Gem-grade diamonds are given a clarity rating based on an industry-standard scale.
The clarity scale of the Gemological Institute of America ranges from Fl (flawless) to I3 (many inclusions visible without magnification.)
Clarity, like color, is a measurement of rarity, not beauty. And in the absence of magnification, the less rare SI1 is visually identical to the higher clarity grades, but significantly less expensive, so…
The precise shape and positioning of a diamond's facets—determines the stone's general appearance and its beauty. Gem diamonds are properly proportioned and cut to achieve the ideal balance of brilliance, dispersion and scintillation.
Of all the 4Cs, cut has the greatest effect on a diamond's beauty. In determining the quality of the cut, the grader evaluates the cutter's skill in the fashioning of the diamond. The more precise the cut, the more captivating the diamond is to the eye.
"Carat" denotes the weight of a diamond. One carat equals 0.20 grams
There are five carats in a gram, and a "point" is 1/100th of a carat. For example, a 50- point diamond is half a carat. As a general rule, larger diamonds are rarer and therefore more valuable. But size does not determine beauty and brilliance. Two stones of the same carat weight can have very different values. Color and Clarity are also measurements of rarity, and Cut is extremely important when it comes to beauty.
Diamonds are graded on the color scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). The most expensive diamonds are found at either end of the scale, due to their rarity. But don't confuse rarity with beauty. Colorless is rare. Highly colored is more rare, and consequently, more valuable. Diamonds with a trace amount of color are just as beautiful, but less rare, making them a better value.

Blagojevich Lawyer Floats Idea of Deposing Obama
Chicago lawyer Sam E. Adam Jr., one of the lawyers representing indicted former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, is seeking a rare legal experience: deposing a sitting U.S. president. At a press conference following a status conference in the case, Adam said that deposing President Barack Obama would be "a monumental step in a career," and that he believes that as a "constitutional scholar," Obama would understand Blagojevich's right to the information that a deposition could yield.

Fremont, CA – Tri-City Health Center, with funding from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, is expanding to a fourth mobile health clinic, directly bringing healthcare to homeless in southern Alameda County as part of our Homeless HealthCare Services.
For nearly 50 years, Tri-City Health Center has been at the forefront in providing healthcare to those in the Fremont area regardless of their ability to pay. Through our mission, TCHC continues to look for ways to expand our comprehensive services to those in need.
TCHC has partnered with ABODE Services for 30 years, beginning with a mobile health clinic serving homeless individuals and families. This not only increased accessible hours to care but allowed our providers to go directly to smaller encampments in need. In 2016, TCHC opened its second mobile health clinic, giving school-aged youth greater access to care. In the same year, TCHC added a third mobile health clinic to provide services to our older-adult population. But expanded access is still needed to address ongoing barriers to care.
The new mobile health unit, "Healthcare Express", can provide medical, behavioral health, substance use disorder care, and social services. TCHC will reach additional encampments and shelters to provide needed services.
PAMF is a longtime supporter of Tri-City Health Center's mission of providing the best healthcare to all.
Tri-City Health Center is dedicated to providing the community of southern Alameda County with affordable, full service healthcare. Our personal approach recognizes every person's unique financial and cultural needs, and helps them take control of their health. Join us as a patient, partner or donor at www.tri-cityhealth.org.

Born in 1955 in Luxembourg. Lives and works in Luxembourg
After working as a technical engineer in the steel industry, he will study photography in Brussels. His first published photographic project is entitled "Naples One Winter", a work realized thanks to the European Nurseries in 1990-91. For the French Ministry of Agriculture and the BPI of the Centre Georges Pompidou, he will make a reportage in Romania in 1994 and will take part in the exhibition "D'Est en Ouest, chemins de terre et d'Europe".
Since 1994 he has been working regularly on the theme of borders in Europe, a project for which he was awarded the Grand Prix de la Ville de Vevey in 1995. He participated in the exhibition "Frontiers…the tropism of borders", at the BPI of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in 1996. Yvon Lambert will publish in 1998 Derniers Feux, a book on the last weeks of the last blast furnace in Luxembourg. The Japan Foundation will support him in 1999 for the realization in Japan of the "Nature/Culture" project. He will stay in Laos in 2001 and in Vietnam in 2002 for exhibition projects commissioned by the Ministry of Cooperation of Luxembourg.
In 2004, after numerous trips to Romania, Yvon Lambert published Retours de Roumanie. In 2005 in collaboration with the writer Nico Helminger he published Brennweiten der begegnung, a portrait of the city of Differdange. Lézardes, a book about the daily life in Havana, realized with the Cuban writer Karla Suarez is published by Éditions Husson in Brussels in 2007.
In 2010, Yvon Lambert ends his project on European spaces/frontiers with a trip to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. In 2011, the photographer publishes Napoli, a second book dedicated to this city, published by Éditions Husson in 2011.
During the last years of his career, he has travelled all over his native land – Luxembourg – and has delivered a first survey of the rural world with "Terres fermes".
He has also taken an interest in tourism in the north of Luxembourg, a variation on free time that will result in 2014 in the publication of the book On Vacation (Clervaux – Cité de l'image) and an exhibition at the Ancien Brahaus de Clervaux.

Indicates the character set into which the contents of a text Stream should be translated for storage in the internal buffer of the Stream object.
Sets or returns a String value that specifies the character set into which the contents of the Stream will be translated. The default value is Unicode. Allowed values are typical strings passed over the interface as Internet character set names (for example, "iso-8859-1", "Windows-1252", and so on). For a list of the character set names that are known by a system, see the subkeys of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Charset in the Windows Registry.
In a text Stream object, text data is stored in the character set specified by the Charset property. The default is Unicode. The Charset property is used for converting data going into the Stream or coming out of the Stream. For example, if the Stream contains ISO-8859-1 data and that data is copied to a BSTR, the Stream object will convert the data to Unicode. The reverse is also true.
For an open Stream, the current Position must be at the beginning of the Stream (0) to be able to set Charset.
Charset is used only with text Stream objects (Type is adTypeText). This property is ignored if Type is adTypeBinary.
For a code sample, see Step 4: Populate the Details Text Box.


Habits of successful people They look for and find opportunities where others see nothing. They find a lesson while others only see a problem, they are solution focused. They consciously and methodically create their own success, while others hope success will find them.

Groundwork still being laid for U.S.-U.K. trade deal
Brian BradleyMonday, November 12, 2018Last Updated: Saturday, March 2, 2019
Officials met in Washington for the fifth meeting of the bilateral Trade and Investment Working Group and held preparatory talks for a possible post-Brexit free trade agreement.
The U.S.-U.K. Trade and Investment Working Group met for the fifth time Nov. 2 through Wednesday, during which officials continued to explore ways to strengthen trade and investment, including through a potential future free trade agreement, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said in a press release Friday.
Since its establishment in July 2017 by U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and U.K. Secretary of State for International Trade Liam Fox, the working group has been focusing on providing commercial continuity for businesses from the two countries as the U.K. leaves the EU and has been laying the groundwork for a post-Brexit U.S.-U.K. FTA, USTR said.
During the recent meeting in Washington, officials continued to exchange information on trade policy issues to build on the strength of the existing bilateral trade and investment relationship and ensure both sides are "well-prepared" to open trade negotiations after the U.K. leaves the EU in 2019, USTR said.
DIT collected public comments on a potential FTA with the U.S. through Oct. 26, and the U.K. government is reviewing the comments and will respond "in due course," USTR said. Lighthizer notified U.S. Congress last month of the Trump administration's intent to start FTA talks with the U.S. after the U.K. leaves the EU on March 29.
USTR and U.K. Department for International Trade (DIT) officials led the working group delegations and included delegations from a "wide range" of both governments' departments and agencies, USTR said.
Topics covered include industrial and agricultural goods, services and investment, digital trade, intellectual property (IP) rights, trade-related regulatory issues and small and medium-sized enterprises.
The two countries also held the third meeting on Nov. 1 of the U.S.-U.K. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) Dialogue, which focused on digital trade benefits for SMEs and e-commerce tools to promote SME exports, USTR said.
More than 100 U.S. and U.K. SME stakeholders met with officials of several U.S. and U.K. agencies.
The countries released joint e-commerce guides for small businesses selling into both markets. The e-commerce guide for U.S. small businesses to sell online in the U.K. covers issues including U.K. value-added taxes, steps to develop an e-commerce strategy and protecting IP on e-commerce sites.
The U.K. will host the fourth SME Dialogue in the summer of 2019. It will focus on the post-Brexit U.S.-U.K. trade and commercial relationship, and the two countries agreed to hold a sectoral-focused SME "best practice" exchange on marine technology on April 9 at the Oceans Business conference in Southampton, U.K.
USTR noted that the U.S. and U.K. account for more than $230 billion in trade per year.

Mastercard partners with PayMongo to support SMEs'-going digital
PayMongo is the fastest growing online payments processing company in the Philippines. The company provides products and services that allow businesses of all sizes to receive payments on the internet. Founded in 2019, PayMongo is the first Philippine fintech start-up backed by Silicon Valley-based Y Combinator, the premier start-up accelerator in the world. In September 2020, PayMongo secured $12 million in Series A financing led by Stripe, a technology company that builds economic infrastructure for the internet, joined by Y Combinator, Global Founders Capital, and Bedrock Capital. To date, the company has raised a total funding of almost $15 million after closing a $2.7 million seed round in September 2019. PayMongo's standard, easy- to-integrate PayMongo API accelerates internet businesses by lowering integration time to a few lines of code. The company's PayMongo Links product and e-commerce plugins powerbusinesses without the need for development time. The company's payment platform delivers stress-free onboarding, consistent checkout experience and worry-free fraud detection systems.
Mastercard has announced a five-year partnership agreement with PayMongo, a Manila-based fintech company founded in 2019, that allows businesses to quickly set up payment systems and accept multiple modes of payment such as cards, e-wallets and other alternative payment options.
The strategic partnership with Mastercard will strengthen PayMongo's business offerings by enabling the latter to be a Mastercard issuer to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It also reinforces Mastercard's commitment as a fintech accelerator.
"Mastercard believes in the potential of collaborating with fintechs to enable new payment flows for businesses and consumers. PayMongo has demonstrated its commitment and capability to help build the financial infrastructure that would allow enterprises of all sizes in the Philippines to succeed in the rapidly digitizing economy. Their thrust perfectly aligns with Mastercard's mission to connect and power an inclusive, digital economy that benefits everyone. Mastercard is confident that the strategic partnership will accelerate the inclusion of SMEs into the digital ecosystem," said Rowell Del Fierro, Country Manager, Philippines, Mastercard.
PayMongo focuses on growing the internet economy of emerging markets like the Philippines, where SMEs make up more than 99 percent of total businesses in the country. When the pandemic broke out, PayMongo's robust payments infrastructure became especially helpful to Filipino entrepreneurs.
The lockdowns prompted entrepreneurs to make the urgent shift to go online and have been able to do so through PayMongo's uncomplicated digital payment platform and fast and seamless onboarding process. The simplified dashboard and accounts management and automated payouts to any bank also allowed them to do daily business with ease.
"This collaboration allows PayMongo to yet again offer a more seamless product experience to our merchants by tapping directly into Mastercard's payments infrastructure, making them more agile, enabling them to do commerce faster and making their businesses grow," said Francis Plaza, PayMongo co-founder and CEO.
Orchestrating this partnership is Mastercard Fintech Express, a tailored program which provides fintechs such as PayMongo with increased speed-to-market, access to a suite of digital-first products, and a cross functional team of experts to provide strategic counsel and advisory across product, partnerships, licensing and legal to be able to successfully build their offerings.
The partnership with Mastercard allows PayMongo to leverage its ability to build scalable online products and Mastercard's strong global network to encourage more digital transactions among businesses and individuals in the country.


Jada and Beau were married at Big Sky Barn in Montgomery, Texas, and it was a beautiful winter wedding day! Jada and I went to the same high school, so I was excited to photograph her wedding and see some familiar faces in the bridal party! It was such a peaceful day, and everything was decorated to perfection with lush florals and maroon accents. The reception space had beautiful centerpieces on the tables, light up marquee letters on the dancefloor, and the cutest photo booth set up in the back. The cross in the chapel was adorned with flowers, and it made the perfect backdrop for their sunset ceremony. Needless to say, it was a dream wedding day from start to finish!
At the beginning of the day, Jada and Beau shared a First Look where they also read each other handwritten vows. It was the sweetest moment, and tears were shed as they read their letters aloud. I loved that they decided to see each other before the ceremony because it meant they got to spend more time together on their wedding day. We were also able to take extra natural light portraits all over the property before the ceremony began!
After Jada and Beau were announced husband and wife at the end of the ceremony, guests mingled outside under twinkly lights during cocktail hour. When it was time for the reception, guests were invited into the barn where they welcomed in the new Mr. and Mrs. Talley!
Once the party got started, the dance floor was packed all night, and guests wore glowsticks as they danced. The DJ played a mix of pop music and country, and I was impressed at all of the amazing two-steppers! I must say, one of the most hilarious moments of the night was the bouquet toss. You'll have to keep scrolling to see who wanted the bouquet the most and whether or not they caught it- haha!
Jada and Beau, it was such an honor photographing your beautiful wedding day, and I'm so excited for you to start your journey together as the new Mr. and Mrs. Talley!! Congratulations!

Generally, business owners feel comfortable being owners.
They enjoy what they do but, rationally, they know they need to change their roles in their businesses eventually. But most owners don't resist planning their exits on a rational basis. Instead, they resist exit planning at an emotional level.
Consider Clancy, a 50-year-old business owner. He loves working at and owning his 25-person manufacturing company, but he knows he'll eventually need to start preparing for retirement. He assumes that if he can sell his business for about $5 million, he and his wife can live comfortably and still help send their grandson, Ralph, to the finest colleges. He gets his business professionally appraised and learns that it's currently worth $3.5 million.
Clancy talks to his friend, a fellow business owner, about his exit. His friend refers him to an exit planning advisor, who lays out several strategies to get his exit plan started, including urging him to train a management team to assure that his business has transferable value. Clancy agrees, but doesn't act. After leaving his exit planner's office, he begins working on a proposal for what could be the company's largest contract ever.
Three months later, Clancy's business wins the contract. This win rekindles Clancy's love for the business, and so he puts off exit planning for when he gets tired of working. Rationally, he knows he should address his retirement, but he's riding the high of success. He stops taking his exit planner's calls, figuring he would worry about his exit plan when he was ready.
Ten years later, Clancy decides that he's ready to exit. He considers calling his exit planning advisor but decides that he doesn't want to pay for her services, and that he can do it alone. After all, he managed to close the biggest deal of his company's history on his own.
Though he's confident that he can sell his business for at least $5 million, he has his business professionally appraised once more. He finds out that it's worth $6.5 million, and decides to sell. After putting it on the market, he meets with a serious buyer.
During the meeting, the buyer's representative asks Clancy, "Can you tell me about your management team?"
"You're looking at it," Clancy says proudly.
"So, who takes over when you leave?" the representative asks.
Clancy pauses, then says, "I figured that was your responsibility."
The representative asks a few more operational questions and tells Clancy she'll be in touch with him. A week later, the buyer offers Clancy two options: $3 million pre-tax if he leaves now; or $5 million pre-tax if he stays on to help train a management team over five years.
Clancy is furious, and points to his professional valuation. The buyer's representative tells him that his valuation assumes he stays with the business. She also explains that since winning the big contract, cash flow has remained stagnant, meaning the buyer would have to invest to build cash flow.
Clancy declines the offer and approaches several other buyers. But those buyers heard that Clancy pulled out of a deal earlier. Coupled with the fact that he had no management team outside of himself, each buyer offers even less than the original buyer.
In desperation, Clancy calls his exit planning advisor and tells her what happened. She suggests that he set a meeting with her.
At the meeting, Clancy's exit planner explained how exit planning could help him create transferable value that would allow him to reach his personal financial goals and ensure that the business would continue to flourish without him.
She explained that exit planning and value building would take years. Fortunately, during those years, Clancy could change his role and focus his efforts on areas of the business that would most benefit him and his company.
From fear to overconfidence, emotion plays a huge role in business owners' exit planning decisions. Clancy lost millions of dollars and years of retirement because he had no one to act as a check on his emotions. Leaving the business is one of the most emotional events business owners can face, which means business owners should take care when making decisions that can affect their business exits.

Yeti Central
Yuriy Dulich's Great Horned Owl
July 5, 2019 July 19, 2019
Yuriy Dulich kindly shared details about how he crafted his beautiful Great Horned Owl over the course of 4 months using Yeti, Maya, Arnold and Mari.
"I chose my typical approach with this type of character – to make it as realistic and anatomically correct as possible. The research process for this project included reading scientific literature, speaking with amateur keepers and meeting professional ornithologists including a live owl to study."
"It all started with the collection of detailed references. There were no problems with photo-references as there are a lot of them from different angles and once I started gathering these the scale of the work became clear. But it was necessary to dig into more detail and problems started with the owl's anatomy, the location of the feathers on the body and how their length and structure depend on their location and how the texture of the feathers varies themselves."
"I decided to visit the zoo to talk with ornithologists and thanks to my friend Simon Andrew, who is a scientist fond of ornithology, I managed to study the living Ural owl very closely. This made it possible to better understand the volume of feathers in relation to the volume of the body itself, the location of the pterilium, the anatomy of the body, the structure of the feathers, and much more. The book "The Unfeathered Bird" by Katrina van Grouw helped me a lot with anatomy and additional feather textures were obtained from the online database of ornithologists: https://www.fws.gov/lab/featheratlas/ and https://www.featherbase.info/ru/home. The rest of the textures I hand-painting according to the reference with the whole process taking place in parallel with the sculpting and grooming."
"Before sculpting I managed to find a scan of the skull of the desired owl and assembled the skeleton according to the reference while basing it on a modified skeleton of a parrot."
"The next challenge was building the skin up to the intended volume, making a guess based on all of the reference as there are no photos of this specific owl without feathers. When the base model was built, the grooming and feather creation began. This is a very delicate and long work that requires attention and a large number of references."
"I have implemented an iterative grooming method in my pipeline and with this method, literally in 2-3 passes, I get close to the desired shape of the strands. In Yeti, I used a new feature with a shader node which allowed me to visualize where the right layer of feathers is on the body by procedurally setting different colors for each layer. An expression based on the length and layer was used to automatically selected the necessary set of feathers with the required density."
"To generate the feathers, I used both the Yeti built-in feather primitive along with the jcFeather plugin and divided the whole owl into zones."
"Each region has from 3 to 9 variations of feathers. In total, there are 3,913 feathers on the body and 2362 feathers covering of the wings. The wing and tail feathers were based on photo references I took from the ornithological researchers – although their resolution wasn't great their shape was clearly visible and creation was not difficult."
"I want to note that I did not use polygonal planes in general, all of the the feathers based on fibres where the total number of feathers was 6327 which consisted of 2188922 fibres."
"I tried to keep the Grooming as anatomically correct as possible following the so-called pterilium and the length of feathers while measuring and adjusting to my subjects proportions."
"This is quite a laborious business as there is very little information or scientific articles on this topic. But the analysis of other birds and familiarity with the Ural owl allowed me to solve this problem."
"I iterated on the grooming by repeatedly fitting to the body model, adjust wing positions and small tests with body deformation – once I was happy I finalized the basic shape of the owl. In ZBrush, I performed a highly detailed sculpt and together with the vector textures I finalized the body model."
"Next was the final fit of the grooming, the angles of rotation of the feathers, the number of fibres in the feathers and their thickness with repeated test renders to try and match the feeling and look of the reference."
"Having good success with my previous work I decided to perform the final visualization in the studio as well. By lighting nothing complicated, I used from 2-4 AreaLigth to simulate a soft box of light sources and one sky dome at a low exposure."
"In the end the average render time on 2*Xeon E5-2695v3 (2*14core @ 2,8GHz) for 8k images was approximately 30h, and 4k images for the head was 14h."
And here is a fantastic breakdown of how it came together – thank you Yuriy.

My Doings
Hitting the Canvas (and Cream)
By	Jessica Fostekew
When you're about to have a first baby there's these antenatal courses you can do called NCT. I'm still not sure what it stands for. Nearly Crying Time? A big reason for doing it is to make friends with other local couples with babies due when yours is.
We all arranged to hook up for brunch. It's no mean feat finding somewhere prepared to let you book a table of 16 at a weekend. Let alone a group containing eight perpetually ravenous, toilet-happy women, all with excellent excuses to cancel, even at the very last minute. But our first choice, Canvas and Cream in Forest Hill, took the challenge.
It's a big, pretty cafe which is full of tinkly-tat. It just about stays the right side of characterful-homely, without tipping into 'granny-chic-hipster-self-touching-twat-heap'. It's child-friendly without being obscenely pumped with yummy-three-wheelers and their snot-faces mewling everywhere. It was packed but in a stress-free way.
They'd warned us not to all order pancakes, as they only had griddles for four at once, which was nicely honest. Also pretty canny. I need to go back now at a quiet time and order all the pancakes. Try to think of me less as a pig and more as a food journalist who leaves no ice-cream-and-salted-caramel-covered breakfast unturned.
Warned about potential pancake-gate, everything we ordered came in a relative flash. Considering there wasn't a nook left unfilled with a punter in the place, that was so impressive.
Everyone got their drinks in. It really takes the edge off the shame of ordering decaf when you're not alone. In great news, the soulless coffee actually tasted quite delicious here. Not like Costa, where it's like sipping the watery afterthought of a life half-lived.
Mikey, my fellow, had an ice-cream-coke-float. Which didn't scream of a man in turmoil about his imminent new responsibilities as a father at all. I tried it and actually it was fun. It's not my bag; it's too saccharine but I can see why the creamy sugar-hit appeals if you're not into hot drinks much. He loved it.
To eat, he had French toast with bacon which came with maple syrup. It looked amazing, all chunky and glistening. He was very pleased. You can't go wrong with four giant wedges of eggy bread, let alone next to chunky rashers of beautiful salty bacon. In an ideal world, Mikey has bacon grilled into almost obscurity, to the point where each rasher is essentially a Frazzle. The chefs here had met him at a sensible halfway point. The smell alone of that honeyed perfumey maple syrup was lush. This meal is a masterpiece, if you ask me, in the art of mixing sweet and savoury. It bowled in at £7.50. It was made with skill, love and fine ingredients. It was worth it.
I had bubble and squeak with poached eggs and mustard dressing. With bacon it was £8. Now, the point of a good bubble and squeak is to use up not just leftovers but the really scrappy ones. The soggy remnant cabbage and the spud peelings really, all revived by being fried again. A blaze of fat and heat does make a very tasty food zombie and does away with waste.
But I've got very mixed feelings about the gentrification of all London at the moment. I'm not completely convinced by this 'tszujing up' and romanticising of 'poverty food', then charging a lot for it. Conversely, I'm an artist, food is art and I understand why people pay for art; I'm pleased they do and think they should. It's a confusingly fine line, for me. In other words, this needed to be really special to warrant being £8. It was.
The eggs and bacon were exemplary. The poached eggs runny and oozing, while their outsides confidently held together. The bacon was chunky and lean, with crispy edges around all the juicy, salty inside bits. Mmm. What gorgeous things they are; it would be a sadder world without them in.
So to the bubble and squeak. Lovely chunks of potato, in with cabbage, spinach and a lovely combination of delicate spices. Some caraway seeds especially really reached out from it. Then came the mustard dressing, sparse but powerful, poured around the edges of the plate. It cut through and then sat alongside all those other flavours, shining a light on how great they were together. Like a brilliant teacher. It made them more than the sum of their parts. It was excellent.
Our new friends ordered all sorts of other things. From avocado and halloumi to pancakes heaped in berries and crème fraiche. They were a triumph. We'll be frequenting this place, I'm certain.

At least once in a lifetime, almost every one of us has a very unfortunate experience in public bathrooms. In most cases, we go through it alone, but there is one dad who found himself in a dire situation and, luckily, had his own little cheerleader by his side.
The creator of No Idea What I'm Doing: A Daddy Blog shared a hilarious story of a nature call in the middle of nowhere. The proud father of three was on a road trip with his family when they stopped at a gas station for some rest. His wife stayed in their car with their two older children, while the dad and his 4-year-old daughter, Aspen, went to get some snacks.
While searching for some cornflakes, the dad's stomach felt funny and he had to run to the bathroom. There was little to no time, so he had to take Aspen with him.
Good job, Daddy! Good job! You make two poops! Now three poops! I'm four!
The dad assumed that Aspen still remembered her experience being potty trained, so she wanted to return the favor to her daddy. The entire ordeal took a while, but the 4-year-old never stopped reassuring her dad that he was doing a great job.
Completely exhausted and ashamed, the dad returned to his family hoping to keep the story secret from his wife, when impressed Aspen proceeded to recount every little detail. She ended her tale with one final "Nice work, Daddy."
The blog's followers absolutely loved the story and even shared similar experiences with their kids.
The power of a child's support is sometimes absolutely astounding!

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has just released new stats covering 23 states indicating that Texas has taken the number one spot in terms of greatest growth among tech worker positions for the first half of the year. According to the statistics, the job growth in Texas is so good that the state now ranks just behind California for having the most employed technology professionals. Overall, Texas employs approximately 143,300 tech workers compared to California's 250,000.

In addition to that, there have been a number of new areas cropping up that are being labeled as "tech hubs". Smaller cities are increasing technology-themed positions. These positions are outpacing the growth that even Silicon Valley, the arguable focal point for technology development in the world, can produce. Then again it may just be that California is already packed to capacity with tech jobs and would have a hard time maintaining a consistent and large growth rate.
Texas has always been one of the biggest states for tech conventions, conferences and events and prime real estate for out-of-state techies that visit the state. Could this new influx of tech jobs in the state make Texas the next Silicon Valley? Only time will tell.

This event is a perfect opportunity to connect with professionals from around the country and people who are interested in working with the exact same things that you are. A breakdown of the people at the 2014 TCEA convention showed that 48% were teachers, 11% were curriculum and instruction professionals, 11% were librarians or library media specialists, 10% were technology directors or coordinators, 8% were campus or district administrators, 6% were campus or district technology specialists, 6% were network administrators and 1% paraprofessionals.
TCEA is the largest state organization devoted to the use of technology in education. The event was founded in 1980 and the organization has been very active since then supporting instructional technology. The primary focus of the organization is on integrating technology into the K-12 environment and providing members with state-of-the-art information through conventions, workshops, newsletters, the internet and collaborations with higher education and businesses. TCEA is also affiliated with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) which provides a two-way channel of information throughout the world.
Technology in the classroom has come a long way over the years. Schools are implementing tablets and laptops into classrooms more and more, along with things like projectors and smartboards, in attempts to make learning more interactive and accessible to the everyday student. Technology in the classroom is impressive, to say the least, and conventions like TCEA 2015 are at the forefront in making this technology better and better.
Texas Will Play Host To PAX South Convention From Now On!
They say that everything is bigger in Texas. I like to think that's true and there are plenty of reason to believe it is. It's a big state. They have big trucks, big burgers, big bugs, and big conventions. Even with Texas being as big as it is, there are still some big conventions that might not show much love to the Lone Star State. Now that isn't to say that Texas has not hosted big conventions in the past. There have a been a few big tech conventions here, maybe a car show there, and perhaps an anime conventions here or there as well. But for some reason a lot of the larger conventions such as E3 and the like don't really head down south. Until now.
Are you familiar with a convention called PAX? You might not be simply because, even though its one of the biggest gaming conventions in North America, it has still been out shined by the E3 conferences. The PAX convention, or Penny Arcade eXpo has been going on since 2004. Over the course of the decade it has only seen its number of attendees grow exponentially every time.
The web comic series, "Penny Arcade" was started by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. The series has seen much success both online, and in magazines. It's been known to feature more PG-13-esque humor with many different video game icons, such as Mario and Sonic. They've been in some of the most well known gaming magazines out currently, even some that I still subscribe to.
PAX is a convention that is covered on a constant basis by many different tech companies and tech news sites. Any time it pops up, you can expect the coverage to be consistent and very in depth. Everything from new game releases to interviews with different developers talking about new features and add on content coming to existing games. There will be news about the PS4, Wii U, and Xbox One. Last year's PAX event saw upwards of 65,000 people walk through the door, and this year is only expected to get bigger. Think of this as the E3 for those of us that may have missed it this past year!
So why the sudden move to bring PAX down to San Antonio, TX? Well since the drastic, almost constantly doubling, stream of attendees comes from across the nation to partake in the event, President of Operations, Robert Khoo, felt like this would be a good course of action. Make it a little bit easier on those that live towards the south. Since the event mainly takes place in the northern corners of the country, many of those that live in the south have trouble reaching the convention. Traveling from Texas to Boston or Seattle is no small feat. Whether you are going by car or plane, you have to be prepared to spend money on the travel, board, and spending money at the convention. There is a lot to consider when making a trip that big.
With the new addition of San Antonio, TX to the PAX tour roster, expect many new faces to show up at next year's event. It will be a lot closer, so what do you say Texas? Are you down for some gaming with Penny Arcade?
When it comes to rental states you'd be hard pressed to find one that requires more technology rentals than Texas. There are so many fantastic convention centers in Texas, and so many subsequent conventions, that there is always a need for short term technology rentals in the Lone Start state.
Rentacomputer.com has been in the business of renting short-term technology for over 20 years and absolutely loves the businesses that people in Texas, whether they live there or are visiting for a convention, generate. As a result of the popular demand for technology rentals in Texas, Rentacomputer.com has expanded its offerings to some of the biggest convention centers in the state.
The Dallas Convention Center is a world-class, full-service convention center that offers "warm and friendly southwestern hospitality". Facilities at the center are capable of handling any convention need with easy access. In addition to that, the center's unique environment in the vibrant downtown Dallas area make the Dallas Convention Center a smart choice for any convention goer or presenter.
The center itself is home to over 1 million square feet of exhibit space and houses Exhibit Hall F, which is 203,000 square feet of exhibit space and is the largest column-free exhibit hall in the United States.
The George R. Brown Convention Center is located in the third-largest city in the nation, Houston Texas. The center itself boasts 1,800,000 square feet of exhibit space along with four exhibit halls, which places the George R. Brown Convention Center among the top 10 largest convention centers in the United States. Due to its size and convenient location in downtown Houston, the George R. Brown Convention Center is a hotspot for laptop and audio visual event technology rentals.
Historic downtown San Antonio, Texas is the ideal location for the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. The location is peaceful and the rich history make it a popular spot for anybody, not just convention goers. The convention center itself is comprised of 1.3 million square feet which houses 59 meeting rooms, 3 ballrooms, 4 exhibit halls and its very own 2,500-seat Performing Arts theater. When it comes to technology rentals, there are few places Rentacomputer.com's Tech Travel Agents like renting too than the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.
The Hotel Contessa is located on the Riverwalk in beautiful downtown San Antonio and is a reflection of one of Texas' most famous and most popular destinations. The twelve stories of the hotel's Mediterranean design add a touch of elegance to the Riverwalk that truly captures both the historic and cultural essence of San Antonio. With over 10,000 square feet of meeting space, the Hotel Contessa is a perfect destination for small to medium sized events, including executive business meetings, corporate retreats or the annual Technology Renal Association's meeting.
With so many fantastic convention and meeting locations in the state it is no wonder why Texas is one of the most popular destinations for convention goers and short-term technology rentals. With all the services offered by the different locations and the fantastic relationships that have been created, it is also not a surprise that the Tech Travel Agents of Rentacomputer.com love working with the area.
Anime Matsuri is an anime convention that happens every year in Houston, Texas. Thousands of people attend every year to show their love for Japanese culture and related arts. The convention has 600,000 square feet of anime, panels, workshops, special guests, celebrities, artist showcases, live concerts, a Japanese fashion show, cosplay contests, gaming, a Japanese car show, and of course, the Vendor/Exhibitor area.
This is one of the bigger anime conventions in Texas, and as we know, anime conventions in general are usually some of the biggest conventions, period. Anime conventions such as this one are a perfect opportunity for any convention vender to make a huge profit. Chances are, if you are reading this, you are one of these people and are looking for ways to maximize your profit. No matter what you are selling, there are certain things that you should consider having in order to make the best of the situation and maximize your profit. Here are some good ideas that you probably haven't thought of yet.
Tablets? Yes. You are probably wondering why a tablet would help you as a convention vender. The truth is, they can do just about anything, and everyone should have a couple of them handy. You can use tablets to keep track of your inventory and except credit card payments. If you do not have something in stock with you, or you run out of some sizes of a certain shirt for example, it's a fantastic way to pull up your online store and assist a customer in ordering the item that they would like directly from there, instead of missing out on a sale all together. You can also use tablets to let customers take surveys that could help you collect useful information to help your business, or get them to sign up for your mailing list. If you can get a customer to sign up for a mailing list, then you have the potential to make them a repeat customer.
Having a 4K monitor at your booth could be one of the biggest things to separate you from the rest of the vendors and draw people to you, other than your competition. They are fantastic for displaying company logos, graphics, pricing lists, product demonstrations, or anything really. The picture quality is the best on the market today, and no matter what you decide to display, it's going to be eye catching. Many vendors are already taking advantage of this type of advertising. Make sure you get creative! You can display anything that you think will draw more people in, so start thinking!
Much like a 4K monitor, a projector can basically display anything that you'd like. The up-side to having a projector is basically that you can make the screen size as big or as small as you'd like. This is also beneficial to speakers and panelist at conventions because you can display anything you'd like on a big enough screen for a large audience to see. Graphs, charts, video clips, anything. Your creativity is your only limit to how this can maximize your entire experience and the experience of your customers or audience.
All of these items are pretty expensive, and it may not be the best idea to invest that much money for a weekend of vending. The best solution for you could be a short term trade show equipment rental. All of these items are available for short term rent and can be delivered on time and set up professionally so all you have to do is use them and make money with them.
Enjoy all of the extra money you make, and you're welcome.
Are You Ready For Ushicon 2014? Not Without A 4K Monitor Rental!

How are you going to stand out from the hundreds of other vendors that are selling basically the same thing as you? a bigger booth? A cluttered display of anime wall scrolls that no one can take in at once? Let me make your life a little bit easier by suggesting a 4K monitor rental!
The Samsung 4K ULTRA HD specifically has become the standard for many convention vendors and exhibitionists across the nation, largely due to its vast array of features. It has a 4K 3820 x 2160 HD resolution, smart TV capabilities, 4 different HDMI inputs, and a very slim and attractive design.
This type of advertising gives you the upper hand by allowing you loop high quality marketing clips showing off your products or prices, or just some really neat anime action clips to draw people in if you are a vendor. In an exhibit setting, the possibilities are literally endless when it comes to the high quality content that you could be using it for. It's perfect for everything from graphs, to company logos, to basically anything else you could think of.

Why Should I Rent A Computer?
Renting a computer for your company may be something that you have been thinking about for a while. There are plenty of advantages to renting one over purchasing one. If you have ever had any doubts about computer rental though, you should continue reading.
You are able to have more computers for your company. It may be hard for a smaller business to purchase multiple computers at the same time without blowing their budget. With renting, you can pay a smaller amount in monthly installments to make it easier on yourself. Spend the extra cash you'll have on a nice suit to wear to the office!
2. No Credit? No Problem.
If you are buying the computers as an individual, it might be hard to get financing if you don't have strong credit. Renting eliminates that issue. You can also rent to own in most cases, and then after you pay a certain amount you own the computers.
Interested in personal computer rental for home or school? Click here.
While renting computers, you can always trade in your rentals and swap them out for newer models. This means that if you are renting a computer, there is no such thing as dealing with an obsolete machine.
4. Don't Always Need One, But Wish You Had One Now?
Maybe your business doesn't need a computer for a long period of time. If your work isn't computer based and you don't use one every day, you can rent one just for the few projects that you may need one for. That would be way more cost effective than purchasing.
What happens when the warranty expires on a computer that you bought and it breaks? You are just out of luck and there is nothing you can do. With renting, it doesn't matter when the warranty expires! It is the rental company's responsibility to make sure that you have a fully functional product no matter what. If it stops working, just swap it out for a new one.
This isn't the 70's, and in the age we live in computers are a must. In most homes or businesses, computers are essential to the way you operate in everyday life. Now with computer rental, there is a solution for those with poor credit, a small budget, or just people who are looking for something short term to get by.
Generally, credit checks are not required when renting. As long as you have an income, a job to prove that you indeed have that income, an address, phone number and a little cash for a down payment, you are good to go. Sometimes, the rental company might ask for some references and give them a call to get their opinion on your reliability. But chances are, if you are picking the people they are going to call then you shouldn't have any issues either way.
After you go through all of that, all you do is pay based on the terms that you and the rental company worked out. Most commonly, it's just a simple monthly payment. In some cases you can pay for your whole rental in advance if you so choose. The most wonderful thing about renting is that you can set up the payments in whatever way is most comfortable for you. If you are going to pay monthly, I would recommend setting up the payments for the same time you receive a check, that way you never forget when the payment is due.
When all is said and done, the benefits of renting a computer can far outweigh the benefits of buying them. Hope this has helped ease your mind if you have been trying to decide on what is right for your situation!

The most frequently asked question in the world of computer rentals is undoubtedly "How much does it cost to rent a computer?" Well, the answer isn't as simple as many people may think because the cost of your rental depends on 4 distinct variables: time, space, spec and availability. Computer rental prices vary depending on the length of your rental period, where you need the rental, the specification of the rental and the availability of the rental.
With Rentacomputer.com, your computer rental rates vary depending on how long you want the rental whether it be monthly, weekly or daily. Typically, a Pentium 4 desktop computer will start at approximately $99 per week in most markets for a weekly rental. However, based upon the computer specification, availability and location, prices can be 20% to 40% higher or lower.
Delivery locations could have an impact on cost as well. Getting a delivery to a convention center is naturally going to be more expensive than delivering to a business address. Why is this you may ask? Well, business addresses normally have specific parking areas for delivery trucks as well as easy access to the delivery or installation room. Convention centers, on the other hand, requires a lot of hard work and effort from the rental company and the company receiving the equipment. Making a delivery to a convention center usually takes a lot longer for the delivery man than it would at a business.
One issue that comes into effect when it comes to computer rentals is the issue of supply and demand. The number of competitors in a given market area as well as total computer rental units can have a huge affect on the supply of a computer rental. The best way to get a computer rental is to have a Tech Travel Agent book your technology rental needs. That way you will have a guarantee that you will always get the equipment you need. By using a Tech Travel Agent you don't have to rely solely on a single vendor because Tech Travel Agents can get equipment from any retailer in the United States, Canada and Europe.
If your company generally employs temporary employees, then a computer rental is perfect. Why buy a computer for somebody who isn't going to be working for you long term? A computer rental is also perfect if your company tends to go to different trade shows or conferences. Companies that do this realize that lower costs and no maintenance are a great way to save some money.
Overall, a computer rental is a great way to get high quality computers without having to make a permanent purchase. If you have any questions on computer rental pricing then visit Rentacomputer.comtoday.

Border security overkill
By Arlo Skari and John Ladd
With more than a century between us of working the land, farming and ranching are in our blood. We work 1,500 miles apart — one near the Mexico border, one near the Canada line — but we share a lifestyle rooted in being stewards of America's borderlands.
As border-area landowners, we strongly oppose two bills pending in Congress: HR 1505, sponsored by Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah) and S 803, cosponsored by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). Both bills would give unrestricted power to the Department of Homeland Security on all public lands within 100 miles of the border (land currently under the jurisdiction of the Interior or Agriculture departments, a great deal of which is leased to ranchers and farmers).
This legislation — ostensibly for national security purposes — would allow the department to do many things on this land, including using vehicles, building roads, fences, living quarters and airstrips and deploying forward operating bases. For example, national parks advocates have raised concerns that if the department determined it needed surveillance equipment in a park — say on Chief Mountain in Glacier National Park — it could install it without any public comment or even internal review process.
These bills would allow the department to run roughshod over ranching and farming operations in the area, and waivers to existing laws would remove any incentive for it to work with landowners and communities. These bills are unnecessary and would be harmful to our rural economy, to our successful collaborations with the Border Patrol and, most important, to our public and private borderlands.
Even the DHS is not backing the bills. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a Senate subcommittee in March that unrestricted authority over public lands was unnecessary for the Border Patrol to do its job and was "bad policy." Those of us who live and work near U.S. borders know that collaboration helps rather than hinders border security efforts.
The kind of indiscriminate road building and other development allowed would not have to take into account the detrimental effects on nearby neighbors. Of particular concern in Montana, where one of us lives, is the impact on the Sweet Grass Hills, a sacred location for many tribal ceremonies. This area is also such an important source of water for surrounding communities that it is protected from mining and most motorized travel. In Arizona, where the other of us lives, we are concerned that poorly designed roads and fences will damage ongoing range land restoration work. Private landowners have spent thousands of dollars and manpower hours restoring these lands to their original state, which could all be compromised by these bills.
In addition, there are 36 landmark laws (including the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Air Act, hazardous waste laws, tribal preservation law, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the National Park Service Organic Act) that could be waived to give the DHS complete "operational control" and "immediate access" to these lands.
Many southern border ranchers already have seen the problems created by previous such waivers. The costly results for landowners and communities have included significant flood and erosion damage as well as damage to individual landowners' efforts to restore vegetation and range-land health.
The border lands of Montana and Arizona are not for everyone. It's hard to get to some of these places. It is often either bone-chillingly cold or unbearably hot. But when we are out working the land, we are still stunned by its natural beauty. We work tirelessly to restore and protect the health of this land while also relying on it to turn a profit so we can provide for our families.
We support the Border Patrol's mission to secure our borders. We also strongly believe that compliance with laws and regulations is key to ensuring that the rights of borderland landowners and rural communities are protected as the agency carries out that mission. But our natural heritage does not need to be sacrificed for the Department of Homeland Security and the Border Patrol to do their jobs.
Arlo Skari is a farmer in Montana; John Ladd is a rancher in Arizona.

Aerojet Rocketdyne Selected to Provide Solid Rocket Motor for Lockheed Martin Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon
Aerojet Rocketdyne awarded subcontract valued at $81.5 million
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Dec. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Building upon its pioneering work in hypersonics, Aerojet Rocketdyne is supporting a Lockheed Martin effort to develop a hypersonic conventional missile for the U.S. Air Force under a subcontract valued at $81.5 million.
Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor on the U.S. Air Force's Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW), an air-launched, stand-off weapon that will be capable of traveling at more than five times the speed of sound.
The HCSW development program is in its early phases and will progress through design, flight testing and initial production and deployment. Lockheed Martin's contract ceiling through initial operational capability is $928 million.
"Aerojet Rocketdyne is a world leader in hypersonic technology, which has been singled out by the U.S. Department of Defense as a top technical priority," said Eileen Drake, Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO and president. "We look forward to leveraging and expanding those capabilities as an integral part of Lockheed Martin's HCSW team."
The HCWS further expands Aerojet Rocketdyne's world-class hypersonic technology portfolio, which includes solid-fueled and air-breathing ramjet and scramjet capabilities. Aerojet Rocketdyne's scramjet engine powered the Boeing X-51A Waverider when it made history by completing the longest air-breathing hypersonic flight ever. The company has continued to evolve the technology, recently demonstrating a ramjet/scramjet engine.

Because sharks and other aquatic life perceive other life-forms by electromagnetic fields, I was thinking it would be useful to researchers to have a wetsuit which can generate electrical fields (using some kind of wiring powered by batteries throughout the suit) which counteract the wearer's field. This would render the wearer invisible to the sharks, and allow for closer study. No more shark cages.
I don't know enough about sharks, electromagnetics, or electronics to describe how the mechanics of this would work, but there's another invention called "Shark Shield" which is related in idea -- it's supposed to fend off sharks by generating a disruptive electromagnetic field. I hope that it isn't too similar to void this idea, let me know if you think it is...

If you're not logged in, you can see what this page looks like, but you will not be able to add anything.
Sharks also use scent and eyesight to track prey, so this doesn't work so well.
— DrCurry, Mar 14 2004
I can't find an online reference, but I saw a television special on a series of experiments conducted at the University of Hawaii which involved a network of PVC pipes set up at the pool's floor, and field generators situated around it. They would release fish blood through the PVC pipes to arouse the sharks' senses, but they would attack the areas around the field generators. And most sharks don't have very good eyesight, as far as I understand...at the very least don't rely on it for hunting.
The field should mimic a real big shark to scare off everthing else.
— kbecker, Mar 14 2004
if it fends off sharks, then you wouldn't get much studying done. You could be in a swimming pool minus the fancy gimmicks, and you'd still see as much shark!
