the chili is just like the president, it promises one thing(or taste) and all you get is a big let-down.
Best chili ever thanks to the best President ever!
We don,t only have the greastest President that ever, we also have a chilli making President , I like all the ingredient because of the choices of either trunkey or beef. Thanks Mr President , I will be cooking this chilli.
I love this recipe, it is the only one chilli that I feel is healthy for me! all natural ingredients, I make my own red beans, the only thing I changed (because I used natural roma tomatoes, is adding two teaspoons of tomato paste mixed with the red wine vinegar. LOVE IT LOVE IT . MADE IT THREE TIMES ALREADY!
We finally got a president who has more class in his little finger than the whole Bush clan combined. Besides the fact that he is a very handsome and educated man!
I am a big chili fan, but This one does not get my vote. 13 grams of fat on a diet website? I like tumeric and basil, but not in this dish. A properly written recipe will not be vague, in instrutions ("several tomatoes" - one more or less makes for a completely different dish).
Good for ya, both the chile and an effective President that can speak in whole sentences and doesn't turn off our allies.
I was surprised by the ingredients and will have to try it. With the name of the chili, I thought it would just be "full of crap" ingredients.
is this a 17 day diet plan recipe?
i know its off topic, but seriously what "freedoms" did obama take away?
read this: also if healthcare is unconstitutional then the supreme court will repeal it justly.
Great recipe,all u red necks need to go back to your red neck holes you all crawl from.
Great recipe. Americans are lucky to finally have a President that makes a lot of sense!
I love chili, but I wouldn't trust anything that arrogant narcissist recommends. What a stupid statement to make, "if it's good enough for the president..." I would love to have the healthcare he has! If it is good enough for him, it should be offered to the rest of us!
I wouldn't try anything thing this man endorses or recommends anymore. I am a true American and I too respect the office just not the man. This man has but one agenda and that is to take away our freedom. If the people of the US don't wake up soon we will all be under a ruler not a president. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. U started with this last election I hope sending a message to him and the rest of his cronies. Nancy Pelosi being the worst of the worst. The woman has been out in the CA. sun to long needs to go back.
Obama is not a good president! Period:/ just like bush and Clinton...Obama- bin-lyin! This is America they are slowly doing away with our freedom, making us have to buy health care, if we could afford it we would get it! No more freedom, u can thank Obama.
It looks like a good recipe..Let's stray away from politics and calm down!.
If it's good enough for the President and He is "The President".. and I love chili!, it's good enough for me. This the wrong forum for the comments I have read.
I love the name and the ingredients sound good so I am fired up to go make some. I love how health concious the first family is and I feel lucky to be an American with such a great leader!
I,ll try it. As for the other comments, I learned one thing in the service and that is, to honor the office of the commander in chief, no matter the party. The person that holds that job will always have my respect.
Very good, tried it once with lean beef and once with lean turkey. It tastes good and its healthy.
Adding cinnamon over every serving. Thank you Mr. Obama, great recipe!


In September 2017, the Albuquerque City Council adopted R-17-230, which created a seven member task force to explore options and make recommendations for addressing vacant and abandoned houses within the City of Albuquerque.
The Task Force, comprised of City staff from Code Enforcement, Family and Community Services, Legal Department, Council Services, Mayor's Office, two community members, and one planning consultant (Consensus Planning), was asked to explore alternative methods of addressing vacant and abandoned houses that would ultimately help reduce property crime and better leverage City resources.
Read the Task Force's full report.
The Task Force held eight meetings starting on October 25, 2017. Two of the meetings included conference calls - one with the Philadelphia Land Bank and one with the Center for Community Progress, a national non-profit organization that provides technical assistance to communities grappling with transforming blighted, vacant, and other problem properties back into productive use to support neighborhood vitality.

Home World Pope Benedict XVI held Christmas Midnight Mass service at St. Peter's Basilica
Pope Benedict XVI held Christmas Midnight Mass service at St. Peter's Basilica
Christmas celebrations started last night with Pope Benedict XVI holding a midnight mass service at a packed St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
Pope Benedict XVI used the ceremony to condemn the "superficial glitter" that now imbues the holiday.
The Pontiff, 84, urged the faithful to discover its true meaning and remember the "child in the stable" instead of being consumed by the commercial side of Christmas.
The Vatican traditional service began with a papal procession through the church shortly after 10:00 p.m. local time.
Christmas celebrations started last night with Pope Benedict XVI holding a midnight mass service at a packed St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican
Wearing cream and gold colored vestments, Pope Benedict XVI proceeded into St. Peter's Basilica standing on a moving platform – a new concession to spare the pontiff the fatigue of having to walk up and down the long center aisle.
In his sermon, Pope Benedict lamented that Christmas has become an increasingly commercial celebration that obscures the simplicity of the message of Christ's birth.
"Let us ask the Lord to help us see through the superficial glitter of this season, and to discover behind it the child in the stable in Bethlehem, so as to find true joy and true light," Pope Benedict XVI said.
It was the second time in as many days that the Pontiff has pointed to the need to rediscover faith to confront the problems facing the world today.
In his end-of-year meeting with Vatican officials on Thursday, Pope Benedict said Europe's financial crisis was largely "based on the ethical crisis looming over the Old Continent".
The Christmas Eve mass was moved up to 10:00 p.m. from midnight several years ago to spare the Pope a late night. This morning he must deliver the important Christmas Day "Urbi et Orbi" speech (Latin for "to the city and the world). He will also offer brief Christmas greetings in 65 languages.
The Pope speech, delivered from the central loggia of St. Peter's overlooking the piazza, is usually a survey of sorts of the hardships and wars confronting the globe. It is understood that this year he will base his message on the Arab Spring and the global economic crisis.
There follows an intense two weeks of Christmas-related public appearances that will test the Pontiff's stamina amid signs that fatigue is starting to slow him down.
Hours before the evening Mass began, Pope Benedict lit a candle in his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square in a traditional sign of peace. A few hundred people had gathered in the square to watch the candle lighting and the unveiling of the Vatican's larger-than-life nativity scene.
Next weekend, Pope Benedict XVI will preside over a New Year's Eve vespers service, followed by a New Year's Day Mass. A few days later he'll celebrate Epiphany Mass followed by his traditional baptizing of babies in the Vatican's frescoed Sistine Chapel.
Security was tight at last night's celebration, as it has been in recent years. In both 2008 and 2009 there were Christmas Eve security breaches, in which a woman with a history of psychiatric problems and wearing a telltale red sweatshirt jumped the wooden security barrier along the basilica's central aisle.
In 2008, the Pope's security detail blocked her from getting to Benedict. But in 2009, she managed to grab Benedict's vestments and pulled him to the ground. The Pope was unhurt and continued along with the service, but a French cardinal who was nearby fell and broke his hip.

Vision loss in seniors after cataract surgery may be prevented with new eye pressure test. Cataracts are a common condition associated with aging, and nearly half of seniors over the age of 75 will develop cataracts.
A tonometer is often used to measure eye pressure, but is rarely used in surgical settings. The researchers looked at 170 patients who had eye pressure adjusted after cataract surgery with a tonometer and found that patients were 2.5 to four times less likely to develop cystoid macular edema.
Normal eye pressure readings should be between 16 and 21 mm Hg. High eye pressure often resolves on its own within a few days, but when eye pressure remains, the patient can develop eye symptoms, including nausea and eye pain. If eye pressure isn't adjusted, it can result in permanent eye pain.
For the most part, cataract surgery is uncomplicated and the risk of post-operative complications is low. In the event of complications, you may experience throbbing or severe pain in or around the eye, severe frontal headache with or without nausea or vomiting, sudden deterioration of vision, increased redness of the eye, or the sudden appearance of black spots, specks, or streaks in your line of vision. If you do experience any of these symptoms, you should see an eye specialist right away.
One of the most common cataract surgery complications is known as posterior capsule opacity (PCO). Occurring roughly in 20 percent of patients, in PCO, the posterior capsule becomes hazy. This can occur either during surgery or months after surgery. Due to this hazy vision, some patients refer to PCO as a second cataract, although it is not, as cataracts do not come back.
PCO can be treated in a procedure called YAG laser capsulotomy, which is safe and painless. The eye is dilated with dilating eye drops, and a laser removes the hazy portion of the posterior capsule. There no incision made and the eye is never touched. Anti-inflammatory eye drops may be prescribed following this procedure.
Another complication of cataract surgery is dislocated intraocular lenses. As a result, the patient can see the edges of the lens implant and experience double vision. The intraocular lens can become dislocated because during the surgery the lens is placed in the capsular bag. Although maintaining the integrity of the capsular bag is the first priority for the surgeon, in some cases the lens can be positioned incorrectly, because the capsular bag is extremely thin and can sometimes rupture or break.
The bag itself may dislocate or break, too, due to weakness of the fibers holding it in place.
In many cases, the intraocular lens can be repositioned through a second procedure. The risk of a dislocated intraocular lens is only 0.1 percent in 20 years and 0.7 percent over 25 years, so it is not that common.
For the most part, cataract surgery is safe and uncomplicated, so you shouldn't experience too many problems during the recovery period.

Sex Abuse Information for Survivors
Assembly Bill 218 gives ALL sexual abuse survivors the right to sue. Call now for a free case evaluation. 408-289-1417.
Changing the Statute of Limitations to Benefit Sex Abuse Victims
The statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse defines the amount of time that a victim can file a lawsuit against a school, daycare center, church, camp, or an organization that fails to protect you. It also establishes the amount of time that you have to bring criminal charges against the person who abused you.
In California, the sexual abuse law firm of Corsiglia McMahon & Allard worked with State Senator Jim Beall to ensure that there are no time limits to bring predators to justice. Senate Bill 813 is now the law and it provides that these crimes have no prosecution time limits:
rape,
molestation of a child under the age of 14 involving "substantial sexual conduct;"
molestation of a child under the age of 14 by use of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the victim or another person;
continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14
California Statute of Limitations for Civil Childhood Sex Abuse Victims
On the civil side, efforts to change the law by Corsiglia McMahon & Allard are blocked by Governor Jerry Brown. Currently, the law says that a childhood sexual abuse victim has until the age of 26 to file a lawsuit. Our child molestation legal team is concerned about the arbitrary time limit as it gives schools, daycare centers, churches, camps, and organizations that fail to protect children an incentive to cover up the crime until the time limits have expired to avoid responsibility.
Established medical literature establishes that one of the primary defense mechanisms employed by victims is memory repression. Plainly stated, to cope with the sex abuse, victims dissociate from the crime and repress memories so that it takes decades for them to surface.
An Explanation of Sex Abuse Repressed Memory
Imagine that you have a basketball which symbolizes a horrible memory that you are holding underwater. You are going to be able to keep that ball underwater for a long time. But like our brain, the muscles in your arms will not be able to hold down that ball forever. And eventually you will have to face and deal with it. The same thing happens with sex abuse victims.
Our legal team of child molestation attorneys cannot even begin to count how many victims with whom we have spoken with that convey that, in their 40's and 50's, little pieces of memories come at them bit by bit as the basketball is starting to emerge from the water. Eventually, like a jigsaw puzzle, they put together these pieces until they come to the realization that, "Oh my God, I was sexually abused by my coach!". We hear this virtually on a daily basis with our office.
Unfortunately, Governor Jerry Brown has vetoed two separate bills that would have given childhood sexual abuse victims additional time to sue.
In the first veto message, Brown claimed that the bill was "discriminatory" because it focused on only the public sector. So, the following year, the language was changed so that law applied to both private and public sectors. This time, ignoring a wealth of medical literature, Brown said that he did not see a "compelling reason" to change the law.
Our law firm is not giving up the fight to change the law. We hope that our next Governor will be more open-minded on the issue.
New York Statute of Limitations for Childhood Sex Abuse Victims
In New York state, the laws are even more archaic. Child sex abuse victims have until the age of 21 to file a civil lawsuit against a third party, such as a school or church. The law is one of the shortest statutes of limitations in the United States.
The effort to reform the statute of limitations in New York is blocked by two state Senate leaders. Senators John Flanigan and John DeFrancisco both refuse to allow a vote on the reform measures. In the meantime, our clients like Kevin Braney continue to suffer the consequences.
In a case found credible by the Vatican, Braney was repeatedly raped by Monsignor Charles Eckermann. The rape took place in a Syracuse church basement where as a young teenager he worked as an altar boy. Worse, church officials knew of Eckermann's sexual misconduct and allowed him to have access to children. To date, the diocese refuses to compensate Braney for the harm caused.
Arbitrary time limits are proving to work against child sexual abuse victims and to protect predators. The law also protects the organizations which enable their behavior.

WFAA8 keeps trying to move early morning ratings meter, this time with a "kid" Corning comedy spot
WFAA8 generally remains stuck in third in D-FW's early morning news ratings, occasionally slipping up to second ahead of NBC5 or sliding down to fourth behind CBS11.
But the station can't be accused of not trying. Its Daybreak team of Cynthia Izaguirre, Greg Fields, Alexa Conomos and Ron Corning, who arrived in late April from New York, receives heavy doses of daily promotion on the ABC affiliate. And now in a brand new 30-second spot, it's Corning getting his first showcase, in tandem with l-o-o-o-o-o-ngtime sports anchor Dale Hansen.
Again puffing on a cigar and pontificating, Hansen welcomes the "kid" into his godfather-ish realm and initially calls him "John" before proclaiming himself a "legend in town."
Corning is told that he, too, can be somebody. "Get your name out there," Hansen counsels/orders. Your name is the key. Trust me on this."
In the next scene, Corning is amply splashed with yellow paint while carrying two buckets. And the cops are chasing him. Pan to an overhead billboard in which Corning has painted a "C" over the "M" in "Love Your Morning."
"Dale!" he exclaims while on the run. Then comes the voice-over pitch: "He's taking over the morning. Ron Corning. Now on News 8 Daybreak.
I'm not sure that the spot entirely works. I'd give it a B. But look at it this way, too. It's a full-blown effort to differentiate itself on the part of a locally owned station that still hand-carves all of its spots. Many of them are unlike anything else seen in the country's fifth largest TV market. This latest one is filmic and brimming with production values. It doesn't look cheap, it caught my eye and it gives me something to write about.
So here it is. See what you think.

How Phil Murphy went from cancer surgery to meeting the challenge of his political life during coronavirus crisis
Updated May 22, 2020; Posted Mar 31, 2020
Friday, March 20, 2020 - New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy holds press update at Bergen Community College, Moses Center, after the opening of New Jersey's First COVID-19 Community-Based Testing Site at the college in the state's hardest hit county with the coronavirus.Michael Mancuso | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
By Brent Johnson | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com and Matt Arco | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
On March 4, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy was at a New York City hospital undergoing hours of surgery to remove a cancerous tumor on his kidney.
The plan was for Murphy to spend the next few weeks recovering at home, laying low.
But a worldwide health crisis changed that.
Hours after Murphy's surgery ended successfully, New Jersey announced its first likely case of the new coronavirus.
In the weeks since, the low-key governor with modest poll numbers has become a daily presence in the lives of 9 million New Jerseyans as he faces the biggest challenge of his political career.
With a series of actions, high-profile briefings, and media appearances, Murphy has aimed to protect, comfort, and reason with a state stricken with the nation's second-most COVID-19 cases and more than 16 dozen deaths.
Health and political experts say Murphy is doing what leaders are supposed to do during a crisis: inform the public consistently, show authority, and make decisions grounded in data and fact. And the way he and other governors have responded, experts say, has at times stood in contrast to President Donald Trump.
"I think from what I've known of Phil Murphy, he believes in science and therefore is following the science," said Stephanie Silvera, a public health professor at Montclair State University. "I don't think he's giving the mixed message of the seriousness of where we are in this pandemic."
"This is a really challenging time to be a governor of a densely populated state," Silvera added. "As more information comes in, we all, including the governor, are responding as best we can, and that information is still changing hour by hour."
Murphy has spoken in direct terms to New Jerseyans about staying home to stem the spread of the virus and praised those pitching in. He has promised quick action against "knuckleheads" who ignore his order to close non-essential businesses and practice social distancing.
And the Democratic governor has played nice with Trump, one of his usual political targets, in a pragmatic effort to ensure New Jersey gets equipment, hospital support, and stimulus money from the federal government.
"This is a war," Murphy constantly says as he tries to unite New Jersey. "We rise and fall as one family."
Ben Dworkin, director of Rowan University's Institute for Public Policy and Citizenship, said Murphy has done "quite well" — especially after major surgery.
"You've got to be steady in your demeanor, provide a certain calmness. The Murphy persona lends itself to that," Dworkin said. "And you've got to be definitive in your decision-making. The buck is stopping with him."
There have been bumps in his administration's response.
Miscommunication and confusion over the number of cases marred early news briefings. The availability of testing has been an issue, with cars being turned away at sites each day.
Some critics say Murphy overreacted with his orders, causing unemployment to balloon, straining first responders, and trampling on residents' rights.
Others say he didn't act soon enough or go far enough on some fronts.
And although CNN recently named him one of the five governors to watch during the pandemic, Murphy remains in the shadow of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, considered a national model on how to respond to the crisis. Murphy's most notable step so far — the stay-at-home order — came a day after Cuomo issued a similar mandate.
"We all could have acted sooner," said Dr. Perry Halkitis, dean of the Rutgers School of Public Health. "The whole country could have acted sooner."
"But look at other states in the South not doing things we're doing," Halkitis added. "As this pandemic continues to migrate to the center and south of the country, the deaths we are going to see in those cases will be much higher proportions because in New Jersey, we are taking precautions."
Murphy frequently says New Jersey's response has been among the most aggressive in the nation, but he declined to give himself a grade.
"To be determined," he recently told NJ Advance Media. "This is like saying, 'How was the baseball game?' and we're in the bottom of the first."
Gov. Phil Murphy holds a news conference on the coronavirus outbreak at the New Jersey State Police compound in Trenton.AP
THE OUTBREAK COMES TO JERSEY
On Super Bowl Sunday — Feb. 2 — top Murphy staffers convened with health officials to discuss the virus that was sweeping through China.
"We knew in early January that there was no way New York was not going to see this, hence New Jersey would get it," said an official close to Murphy who is not authorized to publicly discuss the issue and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The next day, Murphy launched a task force to prepare the state.
A month went by without New Jersey seeing a case. That changed March 4.
But Murphy's administration stumbled with public communication through the first few days of the outbreak.
With Murphy recovering, there was confusion at early press briefings by administration officials about patients who were stricken, numbers of cases, and whether there would be "community spread" of the virus. The governor's staff worked to improve the briefings.
Murphy, 62, spent three days at the hospital. Although doctors asked him to refrain from work, he made phone calls regularly to monitor the state's response, according to the official close to the governor.
Doctors prescribed one week of bed rest and another of only part-time work, the official said. By the fourth week, Murphy would scale up to full governor mode.
But Murphy oversaw his first public briefing on March 13 — nine days after surgery. It was "probably a full week" before his team wanted the governor in public, and he was still feeling pain from the procedure, the official said.
"We went from zero to 100 in a day," the official added. "He's the head of the state. He's running on adrenaline at the moment."
Murphy said slowly getting back to work "went out the window" and conceded in an interview with NJ Advance Media "I've got to be careful" because his immune system is compromised.
Without federal guidelines from Trump's administration early in the outbreak, governors set their own. On March 12, Murphy limited gatherings in New Jersey to 250 people.
But local leaders went further at first. Mayors of hard-hit locations like Teaneck and Hoboken called on residents to self-quarantine and businesses to close. Hundreds of school districts shut, including all in Bergen County.
A turning point for Murphy came March 15, when his message about social distancing became crystal clear after learning Asbury Park bars were packed that weekend.
"We've got to shake this state," he said. "Business as usual just ain't getting it done."
A day later, Murphy showed how serious he was. He, Cuomo, and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announced they were indefinitely closing casinos, movie theaters, and gyms in their states, limiting restaurants and bars to takeout and delivery food, and banning gatherings of more than 50 people. Murphy also closed New Jersey schools.
Halkitis, the Rutgers dean, said because people constantly move between those states, the coordinated regional action was "one of the best things to come out of this." But within days, Halkitis said, more action was needed.
New Jersey knows what happened next.
On March 17, Murphy shuttered indoor shopping malls, too. And on March 21, Murphy issued his dramatic orders for Jerseyans to stay at home, cancel all gatherings, and close all non-essential businesses. It was one of the first such orders in the country, though it followed similar moves in California, New York, and Illinois.
"We'll keep a lot more people healthy, and frankly, at the end of the day, the economic pain related to what we're doing will be a lot less consequential than had we let this virus run amok," Murphy said.
He also dismissed the idea he could have acted sooner.
"When we take steps, we don't want to take it for the sugar high, and we want to get it right," Murphy said.
There have been other criticisms. State Sen. Michael Testa, R-Cumberland, slammed Murphy's promise to enforce his restrictions, arguing "the state's efforts to protect the people from the coronavirus should not be taken as a license to suppress the liberties of the citizens."
Second Amendment groups sued Murphy for classifying gun shops as non-essential. (Murphy first resisted by saying "a safer society... has fewer guns," but he changed course Monday to follow federal guidelines.)
And a group of Republican lawmakers blasted the administration for allowing some non-violent prisoners to be released to help avoid a spread behind bars, calling it "simply lunacy."
On the other side of coin, one lawmaker said Murphy hasn't been as "strong and firm" as Cuomo a state away.
And though Murphy praised the "aggressiveness" of New Jersey's coronavirus testing, the state's testing per capita has lagged others, according to an NJ Advance Media analysis.
Murphy argues New Jersey's focus on testing only symptomatic people provides more useful information and the state needs more supplies from the federal government to increase capacity.
Republican state Sen. Declan O'Scanlon says he's is cutting Murphy slack because there's no playbook for a pandemic.
"No one should be too quick to criticize," O'Scanlon, R-Monmouth, said. "The time for examination of things that have been done wrong is gonna be after this."
And state Senate President Stephen Sweeney, a fellow Democrat but frequent Murphy foe, had praise: "He's shown a steady hand, he's focused, and they're keeping us in the loop."
'EVERYONE IS INDISPENSABLE'
The crisis has led Murphy to publicly praise Trump multiple times, thanking him for sending equipment and agreeing to set up field hospitals in the state — though he repeatedly says New Jersey needs more help.
Trump has threatened not to send aid to governors who criticize him and don't show gratitude.
But Trump has lauded Murphy. "We're doing a great job with the governor of New Jersey," Trump said Saturday. "He's been very good."
Murphy, however, had a memorable response after Trump said he'd "love to have the country reopened and raring to go by Easter" and some conservatives suggested older, at-risk patients should be willing to die to save the economy.
He emphatically vowed to fight to "save every single life."
"Everyone is indispensable," Murphy said.
State Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli, a cornerstone in the effort to curb the virus and inform the public, believes New Jersey is less than three weeks away from its peak number of cases. That will put the focus on hospitals already feeling the strain, and bring a new test for Murphy.
Meanwhile, New Jersey's economy is suffering and unemployment claims are surging.
Murphy says the $2 trillion federal relief package Trump signed is a good first step toward helping the state recover. And the governor made several short-term moves to help businesses and homeowners.
But Murphy has yet to decide whether to extend the April 15 state tax filing deadline, and Republican lawmakers are pressing him to delay hearings on possible toll hikes amid the crisis.
Halkitis, the Rutgers dean, said the economy is a big challenge because it has a serious effect on public health.
"We have to have an open and honest conversation that the economy is not gonna be what it was, at least for the foreseeable future," he said.
Republican state Assemblywoman Nancy Munoz, a retired nurse, called Murphy's public-health actions "tremendous." Now, she said, Murphy should examine not just the economy but making sure domestic violence and child abuse don't increase because of the crisis.
"We're gonna have to start walking and chewing gum at the same time," Munoz, R-Union, said.

I've never enjoyed making amigurimi (aka softees, aka toys) – nor have I ever been good at them. But, situations seem to arise when people know you can make things out of yarn and request toys of some sort. I guess it started with the phallic lip balm cozies… and then donuts for a work gag… then toys for friends.
I guess that's where it started to take off. A coworker saw my sad attempt at Star Wars toys on Facebook and asked me to make some for her on commission. I got a little better at it. Meaning, these aren't AS horrible as my first attempts. Han Solo and Princess Leia were made using patterns by Sammi Resendes of "Geek Central Station".
I made a few other toys for friends and charity… and then one day had an idea. I no longer know if this idea was great, horrible, or just strange… but I adored my personal trainer-coach at the time, and decided to make a yarn version of him. The Geek Central Station pattern starts with a "basic" pattern, then adds details to make the doll look like Han Solo or Princess Leia – I'd just use different details to have the yarn doll look like Ron – kind of.
Then, after a while, I needed a mini-me, right?
I used the mini-me for my profile picture on a few sites, including Fitocracy. I guess because they're "novel", people started asking about them – including the guy I'd "dueled" in the past. He challenged me to a second duel, and wanted a doll if he won. He won.
More people asked about them – and wanted them. I was uncomfortable with setting a price on them (it takes 10-25 hours, I'd have to ask $150 to $250 for a doll to make it worthwhile.) So, the easiest thing seemed to be to barter for them – or duel for them. Which is how I landed up making a "Daryl Dixon" doll (Norman Reedus's character on the Walking Dead – super awesome crossbow carrying zombie killer) as well as KillerLine and EnsignGirl – more Fitocracy "friends".
How big are the dolls? They're about 11-12 inches tall.
How long does it take you to make a doll? Well, it depends. I don't time it – but I'd guess it takes 10 to 25 hours. It depends a lot on the detail, whether I get things right the first time, and how much hair is involved. Hair, especially, can take forever. For hair like LinteeBean's, I have to make EACH strand of hair separately – so that's a lot of yarn cutting and attaching (with a knot) then trimming.
How is a doll made? I crochet it, starting with the Geek Central Station's basic pattern. Clothes are sewn on, most aren't removable (with rare exception, like KillerLine's hat). I basically start with the legs, then make two little arms, then add the torso and hear on to the legs and sew the arms on – then add all the details. It's stuffed about half way through the head part. It's all yarn – I don't like using beads or buttons in case a child or pet gets at them. This also makes it possible to throw it in the wash if that child or pet gets at it.
How much does a doll cost? How much does it cost ME? Well, there's the yarn – if I had to go out and buy (cheap acrylic) yarn to make a toy, it would probably cost me $15 to $20 depending on how many colors I have to buy – plus the fiberfill I use for stuffing. In many cases, I have remnants of yarn in my "stash" that I can use. For most of what I've made, I've only had to go out and purchase flesh colored yarn – because if I don't have it on hand, it's not like I can substitute green or purple.
How much does a doll cost? How much would it cost YOU? I haven't figured out a great answer to this question. People don't seem to understand that offering me $15 to make them a doll is NOT motivating. That barely covers cost of materials – let along 15-25 hours of my time. I enjoy crocheting, but I'd rather crochet a blanket or a garment – not a toy. I just don't rally enjoy making toys. They're small and fiddley. To make it worth my time, I'd have to charge $150 to $250 for a yarn doll. Unless famous celebrities start wanting fugly yarn dolls, I'm not convinced people will pay that much for a doll… but if you are, PLEASE, use the contact on the About the LinteeBean page to shoot me an email!
so you're saying you'll take $17.50?
You are amazing. I think your dolls are amazing and when I am rich and famous I will commission a whole set.
Wow, aren't you the sweetest thing? Thank you!

Russia just slammed the new US's new military strategy
Jul. 2, 2015, 9:37 AM
More than five thousand air, sea and ground troops take part in a multinational NATO maritime exercise BALTOPS in the Baltic Sea to demonstrate the resolve of allied and partner forces to defend the Baltic region near Ustka, Poland June 17, 2015.
Russia has slammed a new US military strategy as "confrontational," saying it would not help improve relations with Moscow, strained by the crisis in Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on July 2 the strategy indicated a "confrontational attitude, devoid of any objectivity towards our country."
The document released by Washington on July 1 said Russia "had repeatedly demonstrated that it does not respect the sovereignty of its neighbors and it is willing to use force to achieve its goals."
It said Russia's military actions are undermining regional security directly and through proxy forces.
"The probability of US involvement in interstate war with a major power is assessed to be low but growing," said the 2015 National Military Strategy report.
The Pentagon points to Russia's troop presence in the Ukraine conflict, though Moscow denies it has deployed its military in eastern Ukraine to bolster a separatist insurgency.
Relations between Moscow and the West are at their lowest point since the end of the Cold War.
Washington and the European Union imposed sanctions on Russia after it seized Crimea from Ukraine last year.
"Today's global security environment is the most unpredictable I have seen in 40 years of service," said General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in presenting the report.

The Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) has imposed a fine to a law consultancy firm established in London because of involvement of buyers in the tax evasion schemes without informing the sellers of the properties being sold.
Within 28 days, the firm named as 'LZW Law' has to pay £6,965 to the SRA and a fine of £2,000 for the offence.
In the period from April 2011 to April 2012, the authority was provided with the information about 203 cases of property dealings in which the clients were involved in the schemes in order to evade the SDLT (Stamp Duty Land Tax).
It was discovered in the investigation that the firm was itself involved in about 179 transactions and acted on behalf of the loan provider but they crucially could not inform the lenders about the buyers' involvement in the tax evasion schemes.
For the additional work to facilitate the tax evasion schemes for the buyers, the firm charged fees between the range of £250 and £500.
The firm had been unsuccessful in providing guidance to the buyers about the risks of involving in tax evasion schemes and/or its effects on the prospective property-related dealings.
SRA found that the firm presented itself in the matters of conflicts between buyers' and sellers' interests in the transactions consisting of loan and mortgage. In the situation where the firm carried separate responsibilities for acting in best interests of buyers and lenders in a single transaction, this led to a strong conflict of interest among the buyers and the lenders.
LZW held that since March 2013, it has stopped involving in the tax avoidance scheme. The firm further alleviated that it had sophisticated clients who had already taken all the necessary pieces of particular advices regarding the dangers of the schemes before the firm instructed them so.

Q: Matlab Phase Locked Loop Design : FM Demodulation EDIT: It seems I've asked too much at once here. I'll do some more studying and come back if I have more specific questions.
I'm trying to design an analog phase locked loop in Matlab. I've read around and there are a few examples of this out there but I'm not sure how a few things work or how to adapt it for my use. I'll be asking a lot of questions so feel free to answer one or all.
This is a block diagram of the design I am constrained to:

Where my input signal X(t) is modulated using Matlab's built in FMMOD and the original audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz.
I have questions about each block, and about PLL demodulation in general. I will first list constraints about my system:

*

*The peak frequency deviation must be 75kHz

*The loop filter transfer function must be: $$\frac{s+a}{s}$$

*The VCO must be used as feedback. I say this as some designs have the output of the VCO be the demodulated message.
The questions I have about the phase detector are:

*

*The phase detector consists of a multiplier whose output is fed into a lowpass filter. The purpose of this is to isolate the difference between the incoming signal and the estimated signal. I understand the math behind why a multiplier is used, since it will have two components: 1 of double the FM carrier frequency and 1 of the difference between the incoming message and the estimated message with the carrier frequency eliminated. Is this understanding correct? For example, if I multiplied a modulated 100Hz and 500Hz sinusoid, the output of the phase detector would be a constant value?

*How would one determine the cutoff frequency of this lowpass filter? Should it be the maximum frequency of the demodulated message?

*Later in the system design, I believe it will be important to know the gain o the phase detector. How is this determined?
Questions about the loop filter:

*

*It is my understanding that in this design, the loop filter must be designed so that the transfer function of $$\frac{M(f)}{X(f)}$$ sees a slope of 20 dB /decade. (I will attach an image of my math to find this transfer function at the end of this post). This is because during the process of FM modulation, the original message is integrated put in the phase of the carrier signal. This means that to undo this integration, its derivative will need to be taken. Is this understanding correct?

Questions about the VCO:

*

*I understand the VCO's role in this the least. I believe it should be nearly identical to an FM modulator. This means it is FM modulating the estimated message and feeding that modulated signal to the phase detector. Is this so that the phase detector can determine the current difference between the incoming message and the estimated message?

*Since the VCO is essentially an FM modulator, it will also need a peak deviation frequency. If I have designed the system correctly, the input into the VCO should be the derivative of the FM modulated signal (which is the original message). Meaning its peak phase deviation should be identical to the FM modulation used for the actual message. In this case it should be 75kHz. Is this understanding correct?

*Can the FMMOD Matlab function be used to simulate the VCO in this case? Can I simply input 75KHz into the peak frequency deviation argument of this function?

*It is my understanding that the VCO will produce some gain I will call Kvco during the modulated process. How is this calculated? Or if it is not realistically worth it to calculate, how is this gain accounted for?
Questions about the Amplifier gain = u:

*

*I am not sure if I am calculating the gain of this system correctly, or understanding how it comes into play. The carrier signal has a gain Ac, the phase detector has some gain Kd, the carrier signal of the VCO output is Av, the gain of the VCO modulation itself is Kvco, the gain of the amplifier is Au. There will also be a gain of 0.5 from the trigonometry used in the phase detector. This means that the gain of the system is: $$\frac{Kd * Kvco * Ac * Av * Au}{2}$$

*How are the gain elements Ac, Av, and Au (and Kvco if it is controllable) selected? I know that the larger the gain the faster the loop begins tracking the original message, but is there a limit to this? Does this gain effect the actual amplitude of the estimated message m(t)? How should I design the gain of this system?

*Will I need to normalize the amplitude of the estimated message in some way to account for this system gain? I am confused on if the gain I described above only effects the loop tracking or if it also effects the message amplitude.

Courtney is one of my favorite designers for photographers out there! As a photographer herself, she really can see someone's portfolio and help them come to life in their website. Another smash hit!
Why did you choose that template?: Gabriela's site was built with the Pacific template. Pacific is such a solid choice for photographers. With Gabriela, I wanted something that could give us a unique way to have an impactful first impression, and the full width gallery grid used on her home and about pages are the main reason why I chose it.
What was the Client's Objective?: Gabriela wanted to update her website, but also move to a platform that would be easy to manage and maintain after she becomes a mom in early 2018!
Tell us a bit about the design process?: Gabriela already had her branding in place, so our work together was just on her website. I was so inspired by her colorful, bold, bright imagery and the website was built in a way that showcases both her work, and spunky personality!
How did you help the client differentiate their business through design?: The homepage grid was a unique way to showcase Gabriela's fun and bright personality in a way that was visually impactful, and also functional for her potential clients. Her love of color and people is infused throughout the website.
Is there custom development? What about custom added CSS? Can you tell us why you did or did not use these edits?: Yes! We used custom CSS to change her about page, and also modified the mobile template, as mobile usability was extremely important to her. We also creatively used the page canvas backgrounds to create a layered look that you don't typically find on a Squarespace website.
What are the top three creative features you used in the design?: Our top three creative features are the full width gallery grid used as menu navigation, the use of index page backgrounds to create layers, and the use of imagery and color to showcase her personality as a photographer and artist.
Anything else you want us to know about the site?: Our goal with this site was to upgrade Gabriela's look while giving her something that would be easy to maintain. She was previously using a platform that required blogging and managing the website through multiple portals. She now has a new sleek website that she can manage in one place!

The Shift List – Chef Dyan Solomon (Olive et Gourmando, Foxy) – Montreal
By Chris Jacobs
This week, The Shift List closes out its miniseries focusing on the food of Montreal with chef, restaurateur, and cookbook author Dyan Solomon.
LISTEN: APPLE PODCASTS • MP3
If you're from Montreal, Dyan Solomon needs no introduction. She's the co-owner of multiple restaurants there, including Foxy, one of the city's essential fine dining establishments. Back in November 2019 she released the Olive + Gourmando cookbook, a collection of 150 recipes from the namesake cafe that put Solomon on Montreal's culinary map when it opened back in 1999.
Host Chris Jacobs checked in with Chef Dyan via email the other week to see how her restaurants have been affected by the stay-at-home orders in Canada. She replied with cautious optimism, saying that while all of her restaurants are are closed until further notice, they are surviving and trying to remain positive about the future.
If you've listened to the last two episodes of The Shift List with Chef John Winter Russell of Restaurant Candide, you'll know that he highlighted the work that's being done to help support the Montreal Restaurant Workers Relief Fund, an organization set up to provide emergency relief to restaurant employees who are facing economic hardship due to COVID-19. Coincidentally, the fund was set up by Kaitlin Doucette, the Sommelier at Solomon's fine dining restaurant Foxy, and donations are still being accepted at mtlrestorelieffund.org.

RCV Voters Reject Backroom Dealing in Western Australia Election
Haley Smith, Theodore Landsman
This past Saturday, the Australian Labor Party took control of the Western Australian state parliament after more than eight years of Liberal Party leadership. In a historic swing election, voters emphatically rejected the ruling Liberal-National coalition, with outgoing premier Colin Barnett conceding the race less than three hours after the polls closed. Support for the popular minor party, One Nation, was low as well.
Many reasons were attributed to the Liberal Party's stunning defeat, ranging from natural cycles in Australian politics to issues of mining and energy. One of the most immediate causes however, was thought to be the coalition struck between the Liberal Party and One Nation. Under the deal, One Nation encouraged its supporters to rank Liberal Party candidates above Labor candidates in most of the seats they were contesting, and the Liberal Party agreed to ask its supporters to rank One Nation candidates above National Party candidates in certain regional seats.
An unlikely pairing, the Liberal Party and One Nation coalition outraged many centrist voters, who felt the Liberal Party should not make deals with a far-right minor party. The arrangement also angered supporters of One Nation as well, who did not like seeing the outsider party making deals with the establishment. Pauline Hanson, leader of One Nation, thought her party's deal with the Liberal Party ultimately cost One Nation seats. Since One Nation lacked the staff to canvass most polling locations, it is unclear whether her party's strategy worked even from a mechanical perspective, that is, whether most One Nation voters were actually told to rank Liberal Party candidates second.
The failure of this strategy reflects what most RCV supporters already know, that RCV rankings reflect sincere preferences of the voters, and that any plan that relies on voters acting strategically, is unlikely to succeed. Candidates and parties can and should compete for each others second choice votes, but parties do not own their voters, and demanding that voters obey some strategic calculus, rather than just appealing to them, is a recipe for tumultuous and unexpected outcomes.


The Muscicapa is an insect catcher designed by Tomoko Azumi. Purposely designed to look like an ordinary lamp, what it hides is quite sinister. Flying insects are attracted to it by a green light that for the most part is invisible to humans. Out of uncontrollable curiousity, insects will enter into its glowy casm only find a sticky trap. The design is meant to be less obstrusive than other light based bug catchers by blending into the decor. It also avoids using electricity or poison as a means to dispose of the bugs which is altogether better for the environment and safer for humans.
Embracing the New Age with Tablechair!
You said it doesn't use electricity?
Then how is the light emitted then?
i think it means that it doesn't elecricute the insect(therefore make that horrible noise and and give out that burnt toast smell) like the old styled ones do.
do you just leave the insects in there to rot after they've been captured? How do you clean it?


 Is it common for bats to get inside the living areas of a home?
Is it common for bats to get inside the living areas of a home?
Junctions where walls meet walls, attics, ceilings, roofs, etc.
The reason for this is that bats are constantly on the lookout for a cool new place to set up a roost. During the spring and summer, this will likely be a maternity roost — a place where mothers go to hang out together, have their babies, and then take care of them. There is safety in numbers, as they say.
Bats usually invade places that are higher up in the home or in a building — attics, the roof, etc. Every now and then, however, a bat will manage to find a little pathway somewhere that takes it away from its peers. This pathway could lead anywhere — into the deepest cavities and recesses of your walls, into a bedroom, perhaps even another well-used room in your home. This is usually met by panic from the residents, as you can expect, but this does more harm than good. A stressed-out and panicked bat will never find its way out again, no matter how many times you try to shoo it in the direction of the open window or door.
If you do happen to find a bat in your house, please don't panic. That bat is probably more scared of you than you are of it, and when a bat gets panicked it will flap around, break stuff, and potentially bite. You might not feel the bite, but bats can carry and transmit the rabies virus.
Carrying on from that theme, make sure that all other people and animals are out the way of your flying monster. It will be erratic, flying in all sorts of weird and wonderful directions, and despite being perfectly able to fly very well normally without bumping into things, there's a chance it will fly into your ornaments, photo frames, mirrors, and various other things along the way.
It just goes to show exactly how stressed out these creatures can get when they find themselves in YOUR territory. Perhaps you should give the little guy a bit of a break?
One bat in the house almost always means there is a colony in your attic or in a similar space. You will need to go looking for it, as well as the holes that led the furry mammals in, in the first place. All holes will need to be sealed, not just to prevent these bats from coming back in, but also to prevent other wild animal invaders. You can't do the sealing part until you have done the eviction part, however; that's the bit that usually proves quite tricky.
There are so many laws in place to regulate the movement, eviction, killing, trapping, and even harassing of bats and bat roosts/nests, you might get yourself into trouble with the law, without even realizing you are doing anything wrong. Research beforehand is paramount.
Once you have worked out the best course of action (it will change depending on the situation and time of year), you are then free to complete the cleanup part of the job, which is actually going to be the most labor-intensive. You will need to find all guano and then remove it, but you can't sweep it away because that increases the chance of the potentially deadly histoplasmosis virus airborne, free to be inhaled by you, your family, your house guests, and your pets, alongside other wild critters that may be unlucky enough to be in the area.
Add a few rounds of disinfectant, bleach, antibacterial agents, and various other cleaning agents to the mix, all the while ensuring you don't mix anything to get an adverse reaction, and you might just be done … with the exception of working out how to dispose of everything in the right way.
Now you know why the professionals charge for their services, right? Go back to the Bat Removal page, or learn about bats in the attic with my Bats in the Attic guide.


An email filter is a software application that's installed on a POP3/IMAP mail server and keeps track of all inbound email messages in order to block any unasked-for ones from reaching a given inbox. Several instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking statements or attachments that contain malware sent with the idea to infect your computer. Email filters typically 'scan' the content of an email message and in case they spot certain keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the message or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain providers mix their own email filters with up-to-date databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to ensure better protection for their clients.

And welcome to howtobeasinglemum.com. It's taken me an age to put something up here – not because I'm lazy (despite what The Ex might say) or I didn't know what to write about (trust me, lack of material is not my problem) – it's simply because I'm so completely and utterly rubbish with technology.
I'm not exaggerating – attaching a word document to an email is as good as it gets with me. And if I manage to do that, I celebrate with a cup of tea and one (packet) of those chocolate-coated sour cherry shortbread biscuits from the Co-op. Have you tried them yet? If not, I'd hurry and grab a box if I were you – stocks are depleting fast. I mean, talk about yumsters.
But back to the techy stuff. Honestly, it's taken me three months just to figure out that I can take a picture of my phone, upload it to my computer and then, somehow, by way of some sort of crazy magic, click on some random, but weirdly correct buttons and that picture will appear at the top of this post. Imagine my surprise! Mind you, it's all happened by accident, so God knows whether I'll be able to do it again – but hey! Major achievement for the day done and dusted or what?!
But while you're here, I just wanted to let you in on a few secrets about the above pic that my darling daughter, The Eleventeen Year Old (AKA the Narky Nine Year Old and the Ten Year Old Teenager) drew after we'd moved to the country on our own.
You may not know this, but the figure in the middle? The woman in a dress looking decidedly in control, complete with lovely long hair, a big smile and an impossibly slim waist? That's my daughter. The person on her left is her baby bro, The Sunshiney Seven Year Old (AKA the Farty Five Year Old and the Smelly Six Year Old) and the person to her right at the top of the page is, yep, you guessed it, me.
I'm short, it's true, but come on! Note the thinning, straightened-to-within-an-inch-of-its-life hair (depressingly accurate depiction) and the knee support. I wear that from time to time – not, as my daughter suspects, to garner sympathy, but because I've put on so much weight lately (mercifully not shown), my knees are painful and sometimes even give way.
Also, when The Ex and I were divorcing and I was desperately trying to lose weight (as per) and trying to take up running. I'd shuffle down the street for five minutes one week, 10 the next and so on, until one day I managed a full, non-stop 30 minutes' shuffling. I was elated! I'd found the key! Not only to weight loss, but to mental fitness, too. Shame, then, that the next day I couldn't stand up, let alone walk.
Anyway, my beautiful girl (actual size) drew this lovely picture when we'd been in the house for a couple of months and I'd been endlessly banging on about what a wonderful adventure we were having and how fantastic it was that we were in the country, just us three, well on our way from misery to happiness today etc etc etc – and we'd just had a mammoth argument. I can't remember what it was about, now – probably something to do with mobile phones or Youtube – but she stropped off upstairs, locked herself in her room and came out an hour afterwards, brandishing this very picture.
Did I cry? Of course I did! And you would, too, if you'd been drawn wearing those daggy clothes. And that hair! Talk about a comedy barnet. She's always been on at me to chuck my GHDs out, and just recently, when I turned 50, I actually did.
But enough! I just wanted to tell you a bit about us and how that picture came about. Now all I need to do is remember to buy a frame for it, lest it gets grease on it or chewed by the dog, hanging precariously off the fridge door as it is at the mo'.
Oh! And I'll make this picture the profile pic on the Facebook page, the header image for this, my website and…now where did those sour cherry biscuits go? I'll just nip out to the Co-op first and then get on with all that stuff. Not that I'm procrastinating or anything.

Oprah's not the only one with "The Secret"
What does Adobe's After Effects 7 and Rhonda Byrne's book have in common? They both know "The Secret". Even though Adobe's secret takes more then just positive thought, the reward can be greater to an artist trying to get a rendering done before a morning deadline.
Here's the problem: While rendering, you get a "frame buffer full" error and everything stops and you start to c*ss at the monitor. Hopefully you are rendering frames!!!!
Here's the solution: Start After Effects; Go under the "Edit" pulldown menu; hold SHIFT; Open the PREFERENCES flyout and select GENERAL; Now select the PREVIOUS button.
Now you see a preferences panel titled "Secret". In the "Purge Every ___ Frames During Make Movie" insert a number of frames (I use 60). Now After Effects will clear the cached data after every two seconds of animation.
Now pay attention to the RAM percentage in Make Movie, it will drop to zero every 60 frames.
Glad it helps Amy! I'm now playing with CS3 and I have tones of new tips to share. Video and 3D models in PhotoShop! can't wait to share.
HAHAHA! good eye, good eye.

Being fit and being healthy lifestyle. There may be times when you feel like giving up, but try to fight that urge. The health advice that follows can set you on how to improve the healthiness quotient in your life.
Walking is a great for getting fit. To maximum the effectiveness of your walking workout, put your heel down first and roll forward onto your toes. You should also work your arms by only flexing at the elbow.
Plant a garden in your own. Many people do not realize that creating a garden requires lots of hard physical labor. You must dig holes, dig, and lots of squatting. Gardening is only one thing that can be done at home to stay in order to stay in shape.
It can be a great motivational tool to set goals for your fitness regimen. This helps you to focus on overcoming obstacles instead of feeling defeated by them. A goal is helpful in making sure your fitness program as an ongoing process – a process you are not finished with yet.
Don't lift weights for longer than one hour lifting weights. Muscle wasting also becomes a problem if you exercise for more than an hour after starting an intense workout. So keep those weight training routines to less than 60 minutes.
Begin with smaller machines when you are in the initial stages of your workout.Small muscles wear out before the big ones, so using barbells before larger machines makes sense.
A personal trainer is a good investment for those who are dedicated to always improving their fitness levels. Personal trainers can provide motivational insight on how to form a wealth of experience to draw from.
Dedicate some time out of each day for exercise.
You can improve work out effectiveness with the use of your workouts by practicing controlled breathing. Try to exhale hard as your shoulders peak when doing crunches and situps. The deep breathing causes your ab muscles to work than they would otherwise.
A great way to get fit. You will burn a large amount of calories and gain strength.
You can get stronger faster by incorporating more rest into your routine. This can also help your muscles working harder and gaining greater endurance. For example, if you can do a full body workout in 30 minutes one day, attempt to shave three minutes off that time next time you do it.
Try doing a stretch your muscles you just exercised between sets. You should stretch your target muscle groups for about half a minute at least 20 seconds. There is a lot of proof out there that stretching between sets can increase your strength by twenty percent.Stretching will also helpful for reducing chances of injury.
The field of fitness is a perplexing one, with many conflicting pieces of information available. Fitness routines are not generic. What works for one person may not be suitable for you. The advice given in this article should have you on your way to a happier and more fit self.


Target acknowledgment in manufactured opening radar (SAR) pictures has turned into a hotspot lately. The backscattering normal for target is a noteworthy issue contemplated in SAR applications. All of the past work center around the diffuse guide extraction toward portray the backscattering normal for the objective; in any case, a point-target relates to a locale instead of a solitary indicate due the convolution amid the imaging. In view of this reality, we initially break down the degree to how a point-target spreads, at that point propose a novel dissipate bunch extraction (SCE) technique, and use the disseminate group as the component to take care of the plane acknowledgment issue in SAR pictures.
Practically speaking, there regularly exist meddling articles close to the objective to be grouped. To beat this issue, we outline a reweighted inadequate portrayal (RSR)- based programmed refining technique by allotting a weight to every component of the element iteratively as per the portrayal blunder. Since the component with huge portrayal blunder dependably compares to the meddling items, we give it a little weight, therefore smothering the impact of the impedance. Exploratory outcomes show that the proposed SCE strategy beats the customary disperse point extraction-based technique and in addition some cutting edge strategies. The correlation result additionally approves the viability of the proposed RSR technique.


Trends are a social phenomenon, not a technological one. We want to know what is trending because we want to improve our status. They are mainly reactive, even if some are predictive.
No trend will relieve the pressure we face to keep up with passing fads. You simply have to know your own capabilities, resources, and potential.
What you're reading now is meant to be some opening remarks, a preview of what's to come but also a summary message, a capsule review that will properly frame something you should know now. That is the custom for January columns. If I do it right, it will elevate your thoughts or encourage you to reconsider what you already know or believe. But it also has to appear fresh or unusual. That's the trap of January: raising hopes that everything is new, coercing us to set goals, and hectoring us not to give up on our promises.
We try to make January stand out for our readers by compiling the annual FM&T Idea Book, assembling new applications for metalcasting process technologies from our best sources. We think it's important to provide a reference to developments that concern the work that readers do – and to answer questions they face. It's decidedly not an effort to be trendy, though trends are part of the program.
Metalcasting is not immune to trends, of course, simply because "trends" are a social phenomenon. Our fixation on trends also reaffirms the impulsiveness of individuals. We want to know what others are doing because we're curious and competitive, and we want the crowd to validate our choices. We want to know what is trending because we want to mimic others, to improve our wealth or health, or satisfaction, or some other aspect of ourselves that needs social affirmation.
It used to be that trends were the subject of special investigative reports or projects, like January issues. But individuals and what connects us have changed utterly in the past decade. Trends are constant now. They may last a day or a week and will be forgotten just as quickly. Does something that appears and disappears so suddenly still qualify as a trend?
These are important considerations because the evaluation of such things is often largely solitary, and the "wisdom" of crowds includes quite a lot of foolishness.
Separating trends that come and go from developments that may truly matter to us and the company we keep means keeping an ever deepening understanding of the work we do – how we do it, why we do it. More than that, it means learning who you are, what you have and what you lack, and what you will become once you commit to that trend that seems so appealing right now.
This matters as much to businesses as to individuals because in the streamlined organizations that are the standard now the choices of one affect many, and the policies of a business matter to its various associates, suppliers, customers, and more. When is a metalcaster's "digital transformation" complete? What is the practical meaning of "servitization" for businesses that design and manufacture precision parts? What must you know in order to know you're up-to-speed?
There is no trend that will relieve the pressure to keep up with passing fads. You simply have to know your own capabilities and potential. People working in metalcasting may be fewer than we would wish, but each one must have a wider understanding of what the work entails, what the products require, and what the customers need. If there are trends affecting metalcasting, you'll know how they matter and how to respond, but first you'll need to know what matters first.
The work you do may not define who you are, but it helps you to reach and influence other people, and it may be shaping who you will become. Because we are increasingly commerce-focused and transaction-oriented, the opportunities this presents to influence others must be anticipated, and accepted. If we are not projecting the improvements we want to see, we may fall for every trend that comes our way.


Nobuhiko Obayashi's 1977 Japanese horror/comedy film House is difficult to introduce to a new audience without spoiling the very elements that make it unique. Yes, it is set in what could be described as a 'haunted house', but what is unleashed upon audiences is more than a mere spooky ghost story.
In fact, one could argue if House can even be defined as a horror film.
Certainly there is enough grotesque bodily dismemberment witnessed throughout, but in terms of structure it breaks almost every rule that 1970's cinema abided by…and for that reason alone I absolutely adore House!
'Gorgeous' (Kimiko Ikegami), as nicknamed by her friends, is excited for her summer vacation in Karuizawa that she has been planning with her father (Saho Sasazawa). Her best friend, 'Fantasy' (Kumiko Oba), is envious but just as excited about the upcoming school trip she will be going on with her friends 'Prof' (Ai Matsubara), 'Melody' (Eriko Tanaka), 'Kung Fu' (Miki Jinbo), 'Mac' (Mieko Sato), 'Sweet' (Masayo Miyako) and school teacher (and school crush) Mr. Togo (Kiyohiko Ozaki).
Upon arriving home Gorgeous' father announces that his female companion will be joining them on their vacation, the beautiful Ryoko (Haruko Wanibuchi). He would very much like Gorgeous and Ryoko to become friends, as he hopes that Ryoko will be accepted as Gorgeous' new mother. This angers Gorgeous who runs away. Her birth mother had passed away several years prior, and she is not ready to accept a new family member into her life.
Upset, Gorgeous looks through a series of old photos of her mother. One particular wedding photo depicts Gorgeous' mother in her bridal costume, sat next to her sister. "I wonder how auntie is" Gorgeous ponders. Having only met her aunt once before Gorgeous decides to write a letter to her, asking if she can stay at her house for the summer, instead of spending it in Karuizawa.
Meanwhile at school, Mr. Togo announces that the school trip has unexpectedly been cancelled. Overhearing this Gorgeous asks her friends if they would like to come with her to her aunt's house instead. They agree! But unbeknownst to the girls is that Gorgeous' "auntie", and her sinister fluffy white cat Blanche, eat unmarried girls who visit their house!
Nobuhiko Obayashi's feature-length debut is a refreshing experience, unlike anything else you will ever see. The fantastical (and often incomprehensible) ideas were taken directly from the mind of Nobuhiko's pre-teen daughter Chigumi Obyashi. Nobuhiko believed that adults "only think about things they understand…everything stays on that boring human level" while "children can come up with things that can't be explained".
Yet, despite the genre-blending of cartoonish violence and comedy, Nobuhiko also managed to inject an element of melancholic sadness that punctuates throughout House. The story of Gorgeous' aunt, for example, incorporates themes from World War II and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as subtext. This provides depth to the main antagonist who, whether intentionally or not, symbolises the effects WWII had on Japanese society. I could try to dissect House further but it defies analysis. House is a visual masterpiece that simply exists!
I found Nobuhiko Obayashi's debut an undeniably cute mishmash of ideas, whereas others may find it hilariously silly and often at times fairly disturbing, I'm sure. The experimental nature of House is admirable, despite a few missteps in execution, providing audiences with a relentlessly entertaining and completely unpredictable cinematic experience.
House ハウス (Hausu) (1977), directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi.
Written by Chiho Katsura and Chigumi Obayashi.
Starring Kimiko Ikegami, Miki Jinbo and Kumiko Ohba.
House is available to buy from Amazon in both the UK and the USA ; plus if you decide to make a purchase after following any of the links provided you will have supported Attack From Planet B, so thank you.
